Classical chess is more or less dead.
The classical chess world championship match Carlsen-Caruana ended in 12 draws in 12 games and then they went to rapid tiebreakers.
Carlsen has announced he may not defend his classical world championship title.
ICCF is 97% draws.
Rapid chess 15|10 and chess960 is probably the future.
