That is a question of beauty, I think. But chess is meant (imho) to show which
beauty (or playing style) is real and which beauty is false. And that is what
the whole competition of chess is about.
 Therefore, the great playing style is only of true value and beauty, when it is
proven over the board.
That's what I feel.
