I believe it is a no-brainer that the more people who play in tournaments the better the game will be for all of us. More people is more interest, more sponsors, more money in the game so more people can make a living playing and giving lessons and writing books--bigger prize pool--more memberships and support of federations so they can pay for full time staff and programs--no end to the benefits.
People playing casually in the streets and on line doesn't help in the above except that eventually some of them trickle up to tournament play -- my vision is to see the trickle turn into a steady flow. We need to attract these people to the fun and excitement and intellectual challenge of match play and also attract the gamblers and people looking for action. There is room for all.
