Everything is Rock, Paper, Scissors-oh really?

Many games take the mechanics of Rock Paper Scissors and configure them to be their own. For me, one classic game that modifies the RPS mechanic is chess. While many think that RPS is all based on chance, there actually is strategy behind it. Chess is a perfect example of a game that requires strategy above anything else in order to defeat your opponent. You need to adapt your strategy based on what your opponent is trying to do in order to win. Many people aren't aware that this mechanic is present within RPS.

So chess manages to take mechanics from RPS and slightly changes them. Another factor that plays into winning a chess game, along with RPS is experience. An experienced chess player has an advantage against a beginner player. The same works with RPS players. However, RPS strategy is more simplified than what chess is capable of. These two games are also perfect examples of how a simple game and a more complicated game can contain strategies in order to counter your opponent.
