It didn't kill chess

It did partially, which is why top players are nowadays playing Freestyle (chess 960) more and more.

Every game becomes boring once figured out. I personally like to explore "meta" on my own. Once I know it I leave game to others as it's usually boring to me.

I think meta is basically experimentally determined constrains that limit reasoning tree and make problems computable/easy. LLMs/AI needs to start figuring something like this out on their own to make progress. RL kinda does it but maybe there's a better way.

To add to this. Scientific progress seems to slow when some of these constraints are incorrectly defined leading or blocking valid search trees, which suggest that humanity determines then but also wrong sometimes. Thus we need to really on formal proofs that are 100% reliable as well and revisit these constraints from time to time.

It applies to science as to law etc.
