It would probably be cooler seeing people dressed in the pride of their home cultures while competing.

Though I’m sure the old guard would say some dress is too distracting.

I wonder if people would care as much about chess if it didn't foster an image of sophistication and intellectualism? Imagine if most players just turned up in street clothes and looked more like software developers .. would sponsors and the public be just as interested? Would available prize money be as good?
