that's hilarious lmao. i spend my time between turns trying to find lines and strategies. having youtube playing would do nothing but distract me completely.
also @roni that's a much better idea and it's how i should play. it's not uncommon for me to come back and lose my queen to a bishop. I was trying to make more of an effort today so i'm closing in on 650
i used to play checkers with high school friends back in the day. we used to use blue and red bottle caps and it was fun. i don't recall winning a single game tho...
Shockingly, nope. Grandmasters can hardly even get a draw with it. Magnus is 2875 ELO, but when you get that high even a tiny amount makes a world of difference.
damn i underestimate just how strong these chess bots are nowadays. i remember the days of Deep Blue where it was an achievement to beat Kasparov once out of like 5 tries.
I believe Kasparov returned for a tournament against modern high level players in 2017. He placed 8th out of 10th. In 2016 he beat 15 players at once.
Not bad for someone who's been retired for over a decade.
Oh, and a fun fact you might know. Magnus did play Kasparov when Magnus was only 13 years old. Magnus was up material, but kasparov saved it with a draw.
