SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
SPRAGGETT ON CHESS
GM Moskalenko. One of the chess world’s top authors today
”Nowadays chess has a big problem, a generation problem I would say. We still have a few ‘magicians’ left, like Shirov, Ivanchuk, Aronian, Anand and young ‘G-star’ Magnus Carlsen.
But there is also an entire army of computer players. I wrote in Revolutionize your Chess that Botvinnik had said that chess is the art of analysis, but now it is more the art of computer analysis. This is not good for human progress, because working with the computer puts your mind to sleep.
We are losing our individuality this way …computers tend to make people lazy and their world turns grey. Computers are a trap for the mind. We should set our own minds to work again.”–Moskalenko in a recent interview
