That doesn't eliminate expression and personality, just refines it to what makes sense. The Novelty still persists.

That being said, there is the initial impression of a more varied, open problem-solving novelty that is lost with depth. This is true of any competition of significant potential depth, given enough investment, but it does adjust the parameters of what the typical player puts into chess.

Chess though I think has to be rough, because theres no execution aspect to it as well, so its all just knowing the game
