Lex Luthor vs Dr. Doom ( chess match )

In a chess match who would be the winner ?

Lex Luthor or Dr. Doom ?

I think Doom.

Tough call.

What if either one of them don't know how to play chess?

@thetruthiii:

Lex luthor is a mastermind, a businesses man, and he was the president.

Dr. Doom is a scientist, a mastermind like Luthor, and he is one of the evil geniuses in the

marvel universe.

so I am pretty sure they know how to play chess.

I think it comes down to biases on this one, they are both super intelligent, I'll go with Doom.

Being an evil genius/mastermind/scientist has no correlation whatsoever with being able to play chess. And I'm not even sure why businessman and President are even mentioned (as they have absolutely nothing remotely similar to what we're even talking about).

But, FYI, I was just joking :)

Doom. Luthor doesn't have time to play Chess. He's too busy being a jerk.

Doom!

Sorry, I thought you were serious.

@thetruthiii: What evil genius comic charicter does not know how to play chess?

How could you miss the pointless scene of a bad guy discussing a business proposition without playing a game of chess and after it before the deal is made say checkmate and shake hands? It's pure insanity

Luthor is more hands on. Corporate takeovers, curing cancer just so he can inject his own sister with it to prove he could, learning about superhero weaknesses, murdering innocent people, etc.

The infamous out-of-nowhere-mate-in-one !

Doooom

I want to point out that how "smart" a person is is very hard to quantify. There are different fields to specialize in. There is a difference between intelligence and wisdom, same with common sense and street smarts. Also, IQ measures the ability to recognize patterns.

Also, being good at Chess doesn't automatically make one smarter than someone else.

I know this aint canon, but what the heck

Lol how do you even know they're good at chess?

@leito: yup from a position where it should take them 3 moves to do they manage to do it in one

So I guess this battle is determined by who is doing the business proposal and who is excepting

Im gonna go with Luthor, he has more step by step feats which could be applied to chess.
