The article is misleading regarding the history of chess. Magnus excepted, most top players did adopt a more cold and calculating material-focused chess style that mimicked Deep Blue and subsequent chess computers. It was only with the success of AlphaGo and LC0 that top chess players have started playing a more creative playstyle again, playing various wing pawn advances, as well as being more willing to give up material for nebulous initiative or positional advantages.
