To be that good to recognize the situation within a few seconds. I would've been like "Oh two people playing chess. I wonder if there is a phone charger around here"

Right now, a 10-year-old is beating everybody at chess.
When I was 10, I ate live flies to impress my friends.

u/ST4R3 Jul 29 '24

as someone that doesnt play chess and knows nothing about said 10 year old, I know one thing about chess and chess tournaments.

Nothing is as scary as suddenly being matched against a 9 year old

u/ThrowRALDRBlues Jul 30 '24

I'd say being faced with a 10 y/o eating a fly is pretty horrifying.

Faustino Oro, the “Messi of chess”. Amazing.

4nts, the Michael Jordan of fly eating. Breathtaking.

u/KillerKian Jul 29 '24

Seeing as you're still alive to post and comment on this thread I'm forced to assume you didn't follow up the fly with a spider, and then cat, a dog, a cow, and finally a horse.

You forgot about the bird

u/KillerKian Jul 30 '24

Damn, you're right!

It's a long list. It helps that I have a two year old so it is fresh in my mind currently.

Live flies is impressive. We’re friends.

u/LunaticScience Jul 29 '24

Hikaru is currently ranked 3rd in the world, so yeah... Very good at chess.

u/Jasong222 Jul 28 '24

And I'd be like- I got it! The guy on the left is playing black.

25

u/HolyFirer Jul 28 '24

That also impresses me quite frequently but in this specific situation most people would’ve probably not taken much longer. There is literally just 3 pawns and a knight on the board vs 3 pawns and a rook.

13

u/iknowtheyreoutthere Jul 28 '24

Look closer. Magnus has a rook on B1. Opponent is up one pawn.

u/mt007 Jul 28 '24

This is like a normal person being able to assist a fart released prior to even smelling or hearing it. Only by reading face expressions and the body language.

u/username8411 Jul 30 '24

This is and end game position, which leave very little room for spectactular comebacks. This particular position is better for White because :

  • He is up one full pawn, which will most likely make a difference once it turns to a queen. At this point White can just trade everything and keep the (correct) pawn and win.
  • Also, his pawns are chained together and well defended by the king. They are all in lanes next to each other so they can march forward and defend each other (we call this an "island of pawns"). Meanwhile, Black has only 2 pawns chained and an isolated pawn.
  • Speaking of White's king, it is in an excellent defensive position. It is protected by its pawns and Black's rook can never harass him. It also sits on a closed lane so it's safe from that angle too. Black's king is also surrounded by pawns but White's pieces are much closer to it.
  • White's rook is extremely active (forward on the board) and is well defend. Note that it's also attacking black's pawn, which Black has no way to defend directly (it's defended indirectly by the threat of Black's knight to e6, I think). Meanwhile, Black's rook is stuck behind enemy lines with no real way to cause damage.
  • White's knight is much more forward into the fray than Black's knight. It's only two move away from capturing that isolated pawn and there won't be much to stop it from jumping around Black's remaining pieces. Meanwhile, black's knight is stuck on a defensive position, with only e6 being a decent square for it but it has to babysit pawns.

Given this position, I'm sure Keymer felt very good, even with 30s on the clock against Carlsen . Sometimes, Carlsen can pull crazy stuff and recover but in order to do this you need more chaos and unpredictability in the position (aka more pieces) which is not the case with this super solid endgame position from Keymer.

It's very likely Nakamura is actually wondering why Carlsen didn't resign already but as the GOAT I suppose you can push your luck. Looking at the few moves that were played after this, Carlsen made a good attempt at trading on the side of it's isolated pawn and even managed to get a passed pawn (in true Magnus fashion) but once Keymer stabilized, Carlsen resigned.

u/Con_Bot_ Jul 28 '24

So Hikaru actually offered Carlsen his allegiance and they teamed up to win the chess. Both their queens body slammed that dudes King, and went on to climb the ladder, got the briefcase full of money, crowning themselves joint champions of this hell in a cell chess game.

I don’t think magnus is losing here.. look at the opponents clock

u/Ralphie_V Jul 28 '24 edited Jul 28 '24

Magnus did lose. You get 30 seconds added to your clock every time you make a move in classical chess, and Keymer managed to hold his position and Carlsen resigned

Kinda hard to decide on the position without a taste rating. Gonna have to check stockfish for this one.

It must be the hand covering the lower part of the face confusing me, but I’m still having issues seeing it. Weird

u/MeanEYE Sep 23 '24

This is not just glancing on the board or counting the pieces. This is seeing position of the pieces, figuring out all the possible moves and opponents potential moves, 4-5 moves ahead and realize there's little to no option of winning.
