Why Classical Chess May Matter More Than Ever

Every few years, someone predicts the end of classical chess.

The arguments are familiar. Games take too long. Audiences want faster entertainment. Rapid and blitz are easier to watch, easier to broadcast and better suited to a world built around shorter attention spans.

It sounds convincing.

But I think we may be looking at it the wrong way.

The question is not whether classical chess can compete with TikTok. Nothing can. The real question is whether everything should.

Technology has made our lives faster and more efficient, but it has also changed the way we use our attention. We rarely spend hours focused on a single task anymore. Notifications interrupt us, AI answers our questions instantly and every app competes to keep us moving to the next thing.

Classical chess does the exact opposite.

For four or five hours, you sit across from another person with no phone, no AI, no distractions and no shortcuts. Every decision is your own. You calculate, you doubt yourself, you recover from mistakes and you keep thinking.

That experience is becoming increasingly rare.

Ironically, I think AI strengthens the case for classical chess rather than weakens it.

Engines have long surpassed humans at finding the best moves. But that is no longer the interesting part. What remains fascinating is watching people think. How they solve problems, handle uncertainty and make decisions under pressure without outside help.

The game is no longer just about the moves. It is about human cognition itself.

That does not mean classical chess should stand still.

I would actually like to see more tournament formats that reward ambitious play. The Grand Swiss is a good example. Open Swiss tournaments create natural incentives to play for wins because the standings are constantly changing. A few victories can launch you into contention, while too many safe draws often leave you behind. That encourages fighting chess without changing what makes classical chess unique.

I think that is a healthier direction than simply making the games faster.

Rapid and blitz deserve their place. They are exciting, accessible and great for spectators. But they should complement classical chess, not replace it.

As the world becomes increasingly optimized for speed, activities that reward patience become more valuable.

The greatest strength of classical chess is no longer simply that it is slow.

It is that it remains one of the very few places where deep, uninterrupted human thought is still the entire point.

@soyalbertosamid En el mundo del ajedrez es normal que los campeones hagan tablas de exhibición con algunos personajes que los invitan... Karpov mismo hizo tablas con Maradona en su programa
