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.

[aymenfurter]

Chess banned engines from competition. CTFs can't really do that because you need internet access and tooling to play.

Read the article.

I read the article. Their chess section makes no sense as in "why this wouldn't work for CTF".

But I don't know enough that's why I asked.

I imagine one could do CTF in public, machines you work on vetted/prepared to some spec, yada yada.

If chess and Go can do it why can't CTF?

That was my question when I wrote "what am I missing here".
