It is sad to say, but there is quite a lot of truth in what you are saying!

Hey mate, how’s things overseas.
Well mate, to tell the truth, I barely said anything, just used the book’s cover and cited novelist, critic, composer, librettist, playwright, screenwriter, essayist, travel writer, broadcaster, translator, linguist, educationalist John Anthony Burgess Wilson.
I just came up with... an idea😉
Cheers mate

Reshevksy is the opposite of that...he preferred to find solutions at the board!
And a George Orwell quote!! One of the few proper - non chess writers that I have actually read!!!😂. Wyndham, Orwell and Nieschke is about it, plus some psychology books. If ignorance is bliss, then I am deliriously happy!!👍

And Lasker preferred to POSE problems at the board for his opponent to solve!😁

Here we go against France. Finding solutions, thinking on your own, from move 1!
Isn’t this beautiful!? One of 960 possible Fischerandom positions.
Position normalizes real quick...
No traps, no op surprises!

Their chess engines.
The author of 'A clockwork orange,' Anthony Burgess explains,
"One of the slogans of George Orwell’s superstate in '1984' is 'Freedom is slavery.' This can be taken to mean that the burden of making one’s own choices is, for many people, intolerable. I can, after six years of that, sympathize with the civilian who is unhappy about making his own decisions—where to eat, whom to vote for, what to wear. It is easier to be told: smoke Hale—ninety per cent less tar; read this novel, seventy-five weeks on the best-seller list; don’t see that movie, it’s artsy-shmartsy."
The modern chess player do the same. Unable to think, unhappy about making their own decisions, true understanding of the game lacking, they now have their Big Mama.
Like bratty and lazy kids calling their mama, mom all day long, mom I want this, mom I don't want that, mom, mom, mom. What move should I make in this position, Mom? Mom!
