Why aren't you comparing it to other intellectual sports like correspondence chess, where the goal is to solve a chess problem in the fewest moves? Isn't that a bit weak? You could even record it on video and send the result. Listen, dude :) And no one has brought up weightlifting as an example yet. I agree with that – a video result wouldn't work because some scoundrel could record themselves lifting a rubber barbell. I'm laughing so hard :)
To be honest, I haven't seen various chess problems anywhere other than in newspapers and books, and the same goes for other problems... and I haven't seen any competitions like that (to solve a problem in the minimum number of moves/days).
Exhibition competitions are when it's "real-time" or, in other words, in person... everything else isn't the same!
I'm not against offline play at all, but it's practically impossible to determine a player's strength in it...
Even with the same starting save, all other conditions aren't always equal!
As for good offline and online players, it's easier to become a good offline player than an online player because an offline player only needs time and literature, which is usually given a month for, while an online player has 1-4 minutes per move :smile10: and only experience... a lot of experience :smile51:
