Chess rests on the shoulder of Robert Dinero. Don’t let us down 👍

Why do you need one? It happens all the time.
The Carlsen-Liren game just happened. Liren's defense blew up in his face. Which is disappointing because Liren is a really great creative player. Why he was in something so enginish is beyond me.
Yes, chess is dead to those fools who dont understand engines. Because then they are saying memorize Leela or something which is nonsense. The losers then ascribe their defeat to engines. So ignorance often wins twice. Anything to avoid accountability.
Y?
Chess will not die in the foreseeable future.

I hope, they don't crucify him.
No. The paradox is that engines like AlphaZero and LC0 have found new ideas in the game, so they didn't kill the game, they have made it richer.

Chess will probably never die, but Teacher summed it up pretty well. Chess is certainly not as intriguing as it once was now that machines are much better. It's no longer the mysterious game that super smart people play. I agree with corum that more people probably play now. But that's mainly because the population is so much greater now. That, plus chess is curriculum in some schools now.
I agree with you a sport, like baseball, is unaffected by machines (even though a machine can throw a fast ball much faster than any pitcher). i guess it's just human nature. A machine doesnt intimidate a physical endeavor like it does a mental one.
we have cracked the case

not trrue
Play dota. Its chess with more variables and randomness
If ur talking about chess being dead in the sense that humans can't compete with engines, then chess has been dead for like 2 decades now.
in terms of creativity, it depends. Below 2100 rated games, chess games are still unique and fun. I see no reason why u couldn't attend tournaments and enjoy urself. At the top level tho, yes chess is pretty much dead, as highlighted by the last championship. Magnus who usually goes for the win didnt even try in the 12th match and just prefered to go into faster time controls.

Chess tactics are all memorisation which are delivered by intermediate players like 1750 rapud players ( because that's the highest rated players i played in 15!10) when you are in a hurry. I will never give credit for their lack of originarity.
I honestly don't know, just here for the achievement
Do 1000 ELO players playing one another enjoy chess any less than 2000 ELO players?
Chess is an absorbing game at any level with an equal opponent. I couldn't care less what computer ratings are.
Chess will never die.
