Do you feel like popular media using a game of Chess to depict a "battle of wits" to be too cliche/cringe?

Super cliche yes, cringe no.

It’s not entirely a bad metaphor or whatever, but it’s certainly tired. It’s also a bit misleading. Being good at chess isn’t a really a sign of high intelligence generally, it just means you’re good at chess.

thinking out loud: what’s an entertainment sport (or game) that depicts high intelligence that i can get into like a sport?

they have Microsoft excel world championships for example, but idk if this is a good measurement lol

Get up in the ladder of Age of Empires 2? A lot of memorization, a lot of anticipation, and more visually appealing, lol.
