Magnus does not want to play classical chess anymore. Other players say it is too slow. What is its future?

Classic games will stay.

It will stay as good platform for chess masterpieces in the past. But also it will be played at serious level but in less extent.

Not interested in the concept. It’s a time control, it’s not that deep

That depends, if the games are instructional then they will be analyzed and taught.

What is classical chess?

It does not exist on this website. "Rapid" is the slowest time control category.

Classical time controls allow players to reach the most complex, profound positions—this is where chess becomes art.

The text is made by AI, and the picture made by AI. This is a new low ever for you.

I think classical chess will continue but with sped up time controls. Maybe the slowest games will be 3 or 4 hours instead of 6 or 7.
