Chess is dead. Human chess. Our chess *2*

I often read Chess.com's articles about big tournaments. They are fun. They are very informative, well-illustrated ... The only thing I can't find there is chess. The chess I have known since I was a child. Human chess.

I remember the chess books. I have a lot of them, I read them with interest , while playing the positions in them on the chess suit. And not just me.

there was something romantic about it. And practically. Even more - adding the live game against real people and the coaches - these were the only ways to learn chess. There were world chess champions, we had top grandmasters, we had ... human chess.

Maybe this chess player and scientist was the first? Maybe one of the first to want to combine the human chess genome with ... machines! A perverse attempt was wrong at the very beginning, which, however, clearly succeeded. Did you succeed in what? - managed to kill a great, human game, which people considered an art, a sport. Which gradually became pure mathematics. Mathematics.

Progress is a great thing, and nowadays simply living without all the facilities and pampering created to live a luxurious and easy life is unthinkable. BUT, putting electronic machines in chess, our chess, was a fatal mistake. And while in medicine, in industry and in many other fields - the introduction of machines was even necessary, in chess we introduced them just to show off. Yes, to show off.

What has human chess become? A pathetic imitation. What have the grandmasters become - pathetic imitators (I don't want to use a stronger word). What has become of the World Chess Champion (human) - a grinning 30-year-old who does not realize what he is doing on the board (and still wins), and this "unconsciousness" he calls intuition. No, this is not intuition - this is blindly following and copying some moves given to him by a stronger player and his teacher - the machine.

If I ask Кarlsen "who you are in chess?" - he can answer me - "I am the World Chess Champion." And he will be right, of course.

But if I ask a chess program that already has ELO 3800 - Who is Кarlsen (and if I ask for an answer in just one word) - the answer will be - "a J@rk"...

About the money. The rich have fun, pay crazy money for nonsense, organize tournaments, matches ... They get their money back from commercials , because there are a lot of deluded fans who also pay to watch nonsense ... The real question is -

WHAT,S NEXT?

Can we break the link that was made between the human chess genome and machines, or are things lost forever? It all still depends on us. Ordinary lovers. I especially want human chess back. Even if he's dead, or in a coma, for a moment

The Future.
