If I didn't use facebook in London then I would simply miss every social invitation that I am given. Many people only use it because of this and would drop it otherwise.

So you are saying those intangibles don't exist? Maybe you and your mother just don't value them as much.

Considering that Pentagram recently bought World Chess and their World Chess Championships it looks like there'll be changes made in the running of world chess but not sure if they'll do away with the World Champs.

Wouldn't overspecialization be common with most pro sports?
Playing sports is great but becoming a swimming world champion, for example, is just hours every day of swimming. Hardly world-changing or helpful outside the pool.

How is the tennis points system arbitrary? Each tournament has set points depending on ranking of the tournament, each placing in the tournament has a set number of points. The points won are carried for 1 year.
Rankings are seen to be pretty accurate when you look at who gets through each Grand Slam round.

That happens in all sports that have a world championship.
There is often a difference between World Champion and World Number One.
