I do think there's a real possibility it will die away somewhat, especially if computers ever solve the game. But that's still way in the future and I enjoy playing it for now, so I'm not too bothered about that.
Human+Computer vs Human+Computer competitions?

I don't think moving to computer assisted tournaments is an inevitable or even particularly logical change for chess. Running remained a popular sport even after the invention of bicycles. Just because something can be done better/faster with computer/mechanical assistance doesn't mean everyone loses interest in seeing which people are best at it without those resources.

Or would such a change make draws almost certain and make the game much more boring? What do you guys think? Kasparov said humans+computer is better than mere computers, right?
