Chess is supposed to be a game for smart people.

Why would smart people care about denim vs. trousers?

Let competitors wear pajamas- it makes no difference.

Rather for people with a really good memory. Which, to me, makes the game extremely boring and bland.

It’s funny because that’s partly what this a LOT about. FIDE, the defacto governing body of chess, wants freestyle chess (aka 960 aka Fischer random, which does lot to fix the memory issue you’re talking about) to not be allowed to have a “world championship”.

And that attitude led us to these honestly inane events.
