Is the Rating System Ruining Chess?

Why don't you chomp on trolls instead?

Autophagy is supposedly healthy

At this point I'm to even surprised that there's so much ai on here

Not even trying to hide it

Have to make up for the lack of natural intelligence or NI

And where does it belong to?

The ELO system has become a big business for some YouTubers.

Some good and bad points

Oh yes, that's also a giveaway that the whole thing is AI generated.

In the garbage can titled "AI-slop".

Should the rating system also go in the same category?

This is especially true since the Elo system has transformed the positive image of chess. On chess.com in particular, many players think of nothing else and ruin their lives by playing one game too many to climb back up the rankings. The notion of enjoyment disappears from the chessboard, giving way to a world of superficial appearances. It's the same problem in poker and the race for chips. Chess is more than just a meaningless pile of Elo ratings. Good game everyone !

In my honest opinion, I think if you don't want to care about elo, forget it. If you are a hobby player and don't care about elo, do want you want and how you wish to play chess.
At the end of the day, it is how you think the site is.

At the same time, you need a basis to measure a player's strength in chess. You can't get paired with GMs all day. Then there will be a much bigger issue, that you aren't playing people with similar rating strength.
So, I think the elo is important. I think it shouldn't be taken too seriously, and just say that you are around some rating. I just say I am 1500ish in rapid and leave it at that. No need to take too seriously.
At the same time, if you think the elo is hindering your growth, play freely without caring about it. Because just because I am 1500 in chess.com doesn't mean I am that same strength in offline or that I can't beat 1700s or lose to 1300s. 
So, elo is important. Just make sure you use it how you think it should be used.

That is exactly the purpose of this article. To show that the obsession with ratings and the circus around chess openings has made chess meaningless.

It doesn't matter if AI helped me polish this article.

The points discussed here stand true and need careful examination.

EXACTLY. It seems social media has released a criticism epidemic if things don't perfectly match somone's own perspective. Nobody gives a RIP what I think or someone else thinks. If you don't like something then great don't do it but others may. A dose of tolerance and open-mindedness for new ideas would do the world some good. In my opinion.

We are generally discussing

I dont know that forum

AI written post

You just proved the idea of this post.

When something looks too good to be true, it has to be cheating. Right, Mr Kramnik?

Let's now do the procedure...

Yeah, let's do the procedure.
