I am specifically talking about the option of playing remotely, which many would probably cling to now that they've tried it out. I suppose online-only tourneys will stick around. What about traditional over-the-board events? I don't think hybrid tourneys are logistically feasible so I'm wondering how OTB would pan out.
The sad thing is in a perfect world the need to travel somewhere to play chess would be laughable. You could remain in the comfort of your bedroom and do as you wished during the game. But of course cheating puts a spanner in the works (hacking also a concern).
And as engine use is inevitable, personally I would not feel at ease playing rated events from home. Not to mention the hassle of being tied down to Zoom.
