Totally fair ... and it would make a lot of sense that this event brings about some sort of cultural cleansing or realignment. I guess I really just meant "dead to me."
That being said, if it turns out that online chess continues to do well, but there's still plenty of cheating going on, I don't think it'd be accurate to say online chess is alive because it wouldn't be chess but something different, for better or worse. And whether such an outcome occurs might be what's really at stake here.
- pedrosorio 4y agoJust look at Magnus Carlsen's performance in the most recent online chess event. https://chess24.com/tour/standings/ https://chess24.com/tour/standings/ (Prelim standings / Knockout Bracket). Online chess is alive and well. The whole "so many top players caught cheating" is a bit much. None of the very best are cheating.
