Nowadays there is more dynamism in chess, modern players like to take the initiative. Usually they are poor defenders though.

The Soviet Union was an exception, but even there chess players were not rich. Only Fischer changed that.

Nowadays young people have great choice of occupations, hobbies, etc, so chess is experiencing difficulties because of the high competition. Now it's hard to make living in chess, so our profession does attract young people.

On the other hand, chess is a mass sport now and for chess organisers shorter time control is obviously more attractive. But I think that this control does not suit World Championship matches.
