In your rambling discourse about AI, when did you ever ask for a coach?

Why should I take up someone's time when there is so much I can learn if the technology we have today could be utilised for that purpose?

And do you think coaches slways enjoy going through the same stuff day after day. Surely a lot of that can be had with what is possible tech wise.

I completely agree with you @Professor74. You highlight something we often forget: the chess experience isn’t just about finding the “correct move,” but about understanding the history, the ideas, and even the emotion behind each one. I really enjoyed how you expressed this because you manage to connect tradition and the future in a single thread. That ability to put things in perspective is exactly what our community needs more of.

I would also add that, alongside interactive tools, it is important to preserve the value of live conversations such as classes, group analysis, or simple post-game chats. That human exchange is irreplaceable and can coexist beautifully with the digital world. Without a doubt, there is a balanced path where technology does not overshadow but instead enhances the cultural transmission of chess.
