> It's not interesting playing chess against Magnus, even for high-level GMs. He just crushes almost every human The differences even among humans between the absolute best & those out of the top 10 tend to be pretty drastic. And a non-IM against Magnus won't even understand what's going on. You could similarly claim that Magnus just memorized a bunch of openings which is similar to criticism GMs level too which is why Chess960 is now gaining more traction. My point is that there's not really such a thing as "fair" in a competition. Re geoguessr, why not let them whatever tools are available? I have similar critiques about bike racing & restrictions on the technology advancements they can put on the bike. But every competition chooses arbitrary lines to draw which compose the rules so it doesn't really matter.
