A simple question. Why do people watch chess tournaments?

A: To see administrators administrate.

B: To see chess players play chess.

Someone somewhere has lost sight of a most basic fundamental that everything else they may care about rests on.

Might as well add "D: for the coffee in the lobby". It's the same level of true and the same level of relevant.

Also, technically, I'm watching video feeds of various players, and also seeing camera angles with an audience... :-)
