Chess and Go are not dead just because Ai got better than humans at these games.
What am I missing here?
These have very strong anti cheats and in person is very stringent on no electronics.
Its not really a good comparison
You aren’t allowed to use tools to play competitive Chess / Go but that are required for solving CTF.
Chess banned engines from competition. CTFs can't really do that because you need internet access and tooling to play.
