Hello, Henrik, thank you for the interesting article! I do not play Go, but have some background in chess, and read it from the perspective of a chess player. I am curious about your statement that there are some chess players who recent became grandmasters who did it "largely by playing 10+ hours a day of online speed chess instead of the older strategies that emphasized targeting learning, deliberate practice and slower exercises". I was unable to find interviews with such players supporting the point. In fact, every single titled chess player I've heard/read so far, who has been asked how to improve in chess, answered exactly the opposite, that one should prioritize playing slow time controls to improve. Can you please provide your sources those lead you to writing the statement? Thank you.
