One of chess’s top players explains why Formula E really is a game of high-speed chess
“Formula E has often been described as a game of high-speed chess, highlighting the strategic similarities between the two disciplines within the motorsport world.
Anna Cramling, a chess prodigy with impressive achievements, has emphasized the parallels between chess and Formula E, stressing the complexity of decision-making and multi-variant thinking required in both.
Cramling’s background as a third-generation chess player and her innovative efforts to bring chess to new audiences through live streaming showcase the intellectual depth and adaptability needed in competitive environments like Formula E.
In Formula E, drivers face a multitude of tasks beyond just racing, including real-time data analysis, energy management, and strategic communication with their engineers, reflecting the complex mental challenges inherent in both chess and Formula E.
While speed may seem like the differentiating factor between the two sports, Cramling argues that the high-speed decision-making and forward-thinking required in chess are comparable to the cognitive demands faced by Formula E drivers on the track.”
