In the world of chess, the question of whether or not classical chess is dying has been a topic of much debate. After the Covid lockdowns and the merger between chess.com and Magnus Group, the talks have intensified. While many players and fans of the game are passionate about preserving the classical tradition, others argue that the changing nature of the game requires a shift towards more modern forms of play, including faster time controls and online play.
