Magnus Carlsen checkmates Bill Gates in 9 moves!

[S.Taylor]

Gates played to Carlsen's strength. To be fair they should have also played to Gates's strength. Gates knows PCs. Gates should have used a PC with Houdini. Who wins now?

If you give both sides 30 seconds for all the game in OTB game
then Carlsen is going to win again because Gates is going to lose on time(finding what houdini suggests and copying it to the board takes time)

Ok. 15 minutes should be enough time for Gates to clobber Carlsen.

The way it was, 30 seconds to 2 mins. I think that gates would have won more often than lose vs MC.

My guess is that Gates inadvertently allowed an early mate
so the flow of the occasion was intact, if you get what I mean.

You are right.

Enjoy. Haha!

Gates needs to stick to making millions. What he does best.

Thanks for the link.

Gates is the second richest guy on the planet who had an immense influence on computer development and quality of life of ppl in general.
And this is probably well known to majority of the ppl on this planet.
On the other hand Magnus is just some arrogant kid that 95% of the ppl on the planet didn't even hear of, playing some stupid obscure game.
And by the way, even my cellphone is noticeably stronger in that game than MC.
I bet some Korean kid champion in Starcraft is known by more ppl than Magnus (I didn't want to use Psy as a reference point coz his level of popularity is at least 5 orders of magnitude higher than MC's).

I do not agree that chess is a stupid game.

I think Magnus is a well behaved young man. (from his own mind, it seems).
And, I think his chess style makes him a good defendant of humankind, in showing what humans still have better than computers.
And his chess-playing level, it is obvious that he is world champion for a reason and not just by mistake. This doesn't mean that chess is an infinite measure of human personality or intelligence, but the part of it that is useful for becoming world chess champion, he seems to have, even though i would have prefered it to have been someone else for now.
