He’s pretty cocky about how good he is, so I doubt it’s this. He might just generally have no desire to go whoop one of these lesser players…again.

And classical being such a grind, it can't be fun to play.
He'd still probably win, but it takes months of full-time studying to prepare.
He already has the money, fame, etc. Playing doesn't buy him much.

Bobby Fischer said after he achieved his goal of the world title, he really had no desire to compete...
That chess was boring. Unimaginative.
And that winning at the highest level takes excessive amount of prep as it's just massive amounts of memorization.
