Olympian1010 7,665 Posted June 27, 2023 #1261 Share Posted June 27, 2023 1 minute ago, Grassmarket said: I was watching Olympic eSports Chess at the weekend. It was deeply weird. Fair enough, they started with a global tournament for 10,000 players over the internet. Then out of all those they brought 10 people to play in person in . Obviously a nice reward for them. And then they sat them down in front of thousands of dollars worth of computer equipment to play a game of chess, although they were both literally in the same room and indeed at the same table. If chess were to be included in the Olympics, I’d suggest a tournament in the classic format with 16 players per gender. It would be a full round robin lasting the duration of the Games. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
