Forget about trying to beat Magnus, this guy thought he could actually memorize all the best moves from all possible games in chess.
Bruh there are more chessmoves than atoms in the universe... how tf would someone memorize that..?
Sentinel he means the 1000 or so games that have near perfect moves
@@nota4688 Which also would make absolutely no sense
sdm there’s a big difference though
@@nota4688 There are no "perfect games" in chess that you can simply memorize. In chess, each player has to make a move. There is simply no way to memorize trillions of variations consisting of the recommended computer move.
His approach is like trying to memorize every single name of every single person in the world, and then try to guess the name of a random person from Sri Lanka.
Even that is easier..
Underrated comment 😂😂😂
I don't even know what Sri Lanka is.
Hey im from sri lanka 😂😂🤣
@@DaBonkinator a country...
He sounds like he actually thought Magnus was worried about losing this game. He's completely delusional.
ahahaha yep
Magnus had like 0% fear and I’m being honest. Magnus could beat him probable with 2 knights off the board
@@timberhoff Bro even I could do that with those odds... Magnus is the world champ
I know! I felt like slapping him for disrespecting my lord like that.
Magnus could easily beat the guy blindfolded with 1 minute on the clock
Dude didn't even learn enough chess to understand that he had absolutely no chance against Magnus.
Woooow 👏👏👏👏 like for real bro
This man has the worst case of Dunning-Kreuger I have ever witnessed. This is the equivalent of someone who climbed the hill behind their house and thought they could sprint to the top of Mount Everest
Or against lets say any 1200 rated ten year old kid in any chessclub of any town?! Probably he should have at least tried out to achieve that first?!
Kappa
It's pathetic how they even agreed for this match. It's like mocking the system. He could have played against world chess player ranked 10,000 and still lost.
"Keeping him a little bit nervous for at least 8 moves was a minor victory."
Yeah Magnus was obviously terrified of the main line Ruy Lopez
Almost chocked on that one
@@ack_ hahahaha
I mean It's not like he has played thousands of game with this opening and has spent countless hours studying it, sooooo......
Any competitive chess player could hang with Magnus for 8 moves. What makes them so good is they crush you in midgame so much that endgame likely doesn't even happen... such as this game. Anyone can memorize a basic opening. Thats like elementary school for a chess prodigy.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He learned how to waste 21 minutes of Magnus' time in one month
ahhahaha haha, you are hilarious... dude i know magnus is busy, but he works 200-240 days a year, that’s 2/3 it’s not like he has to be studying chess moves 24/7 shutup and stop being a d*ck just because someone had the chance to play a game if you had the chance to play a game against carlson would you pass it up? didn’t think so
@@ethancollinsworth3927 relax dude, it's just another comment and you rage at it like your life depended on it lol have a seat and stop raging over comments online soi boi oh btw i find his comment extremely humorous, because guess what?? it's the truth in a sarcastic point of view

@@johnlee-ii4ye yep can you help me to improve my English? 😇
@@LeventK sure
@Netloc AD he did. Look it up.
Magnus expected someone who dedicated a whole month to chess. This guy dedicated his computer to a month of chess and learned the mainline Ruy Lopez in an hour.
If you believe this guy actually wrote an algorithm, I have a bridge to sell you.
@@kimaboe Well, writing an algorithm is not necessarily an impressive thing. it could be a really bad one
The first 10 moves of the main Ruy
and he probably actually asked magnus to play the mainline behind the scenes lol
@@RuaIvan Even an algorithm about how chess pieces moves or works is quite decent.
I don't believe that Max entirely built an algorithm to evaluate chess positions. It's simply cost too much (time and computing resources) while there is a free and accesible chess engine on the internet.
He actually believes he made Magnus nervous for even a second?!?😂
That's the problem. his imagination like this one will make him move on like he did something meaningful and bragging to his friends on something he did not do...
The fact that he didn't learn anything in a month amazes me
And he got paid to do that
Guess, he didn't study Kardashian strategy properly 😂
The fact that he didn't *try* to learn anything in a month amazes me.
Hahaha
@Ice Bear he knew that he would've lost even if trying to learn properly. Why go for a strategy you know will fail right? So he tried to go for a gimmick that would at least give him a chance, even if it's a near zero chance.
This is like saying "I'm 20 and tried to turn 22 in 1 month."
I don't know why but I'm laughing so hard at this because this comment is simply beautiful
Learning skills can never be rushed. It takes gradual amount of time to get it consistently because that is how our human brains work.
Turn 70 in a month**
Plot twist their birthday is that month
This is the most powerful comment in the section... Damm
Anyone who is even slightly into chess probably laughed when this guy blamed his loss on his lack of time, or thinks he had Magnus “worried” at any point.
He blamed his algorithm lol
I'd say "I'm slightly into chess," And I thought he was joking the entire video and being comedic? Was he not? He did not appear serious to me at all. I thought the video was very light hearted.
Im sure magnus was thinking about that one cat that acts like a baby
Time...hahaha... That kid will literally be dead for the next 20,000 years (and that's probably being generous) before that little Dell laptop could work to solve chess. We still can't do it if we combined all of our computing power in the world. It won't be solved until we get quantum computing working, and even then, maybe.
@@JustinOhio it’s solved already. Deepmind AI
That “ twitch “ was him waking up from his long nap after it took you 21 minutes to make a move
That was the best thing I have read in a while, thank you.
Hahahahahahahhahah i love this comment so much
thank you for cooling down my anger after watching this video
The twitch was him realizing he had a mate in 1 but didnt want to make his opponent looks bad

It works though, that's how deep blue from IBM won against kasparov.
But a human brain can't memorize every single move and algorithm like a computer.
@@GeroG3N that's not how at all. Ibm uses deep machine learning that is beyond what the creator can understand. We don't know how exactly Ibm can do the stuff it can.

@Alec Tassey honestly, because his approach to the game of chess is so disrespectful to the fact that it is a centuries old art form that takes DECADES to truly master. It is literally like practicing basketball for one month and then saying you’re going to play one on one with Lebron James
@Alec Tassey Tbh, he kinda deserves it
I find it funny he actually brought it with him.
It wouldn't take a whole month to find out about Laetrile.
"When i moved my knight here you kind of twitched a little bit" It's funny how he has the audicity to say this to a chess world champion.
magnus was like daahhhh didn't see that am gonna get crushed oh god oh god XDD like too high of hopes man just admit you got not even close and just played some dumb 8 move theory then just got rolled
Magnus probably twitched because the move was insanely stupid and at that moment he knew that he just wasted his time.
Exactly. This guy is playing psychological game instead of chess.
@@emperorsascharoni9577 that's what the guy was trying to say.
Magnus: "yeah yeah yeah" , knowing that the internet will tear the guy apart

he prob just learned some openings, and magnus happened to play one of em.
@@ethancollinsworth3927 from the looks of it it looks like he played the ruy Lopez opening which is a very common opening and one of the stronger ones so it wouldn’t surprise me if he just studied the ruy Lopez and played it the best he could

@@cupcakemaster2757 there is a UA-camr called agadmator and he made a video about game, just write carlsen vs max agadmator and you'll find it.
Magnus has defeated Grand masters while eating chillies, being half submerged under ice water, (for a show match) with 1 min to 5 minute time odds, and has played and defeated 15 opponents simultaneously blindfolded. And then here is this guy.
He’s also won while drunk lol
@@DeletedUser662 he has more wins whilst drunk than loses its not that special

"keep him a little bit nervous"
oh. my. god.
Magnus Carlsen that draw a game with Kasparov at age of 13 nervous against the fAsT lEaRnEr guy.
hey C.C
It’s insulting to chess players of all levels to think that he got Magnus Carlsen nervous for even a millisecond. He probably twitched because it was stupid move or a line he wasn’t expecting because it wasn’t favorable for FaSt LeArNeR BRo
I bet I could beat this fast learner and I'm not even that good at chess
😂 😂 😂
Maybe lelouch vi Brittania could beat him.
If he studied chess for a decade straight and managed to draw against Magnus I would be genuinely surprised.
Exactly!!!
Well yeah, magnus has been playing chess hardcore his whole life, not to mention he has natural talent. I would be surprised if bro had 30 years and managed to draw with magnus
@@kangsankim976 talent is probably an understatement
At this point in time, I'd be surprised if anyone studied a lifetime and managed a draw against Magnus, given that Magnus is still in his prime and still getting better every day.
Unreal. Magnus is the best endgame player in the world
"I lifted weights for a month and challendged the world's strongest man to a deadlift competition."
"Except I didn't lift, I studied anatomy to figure out the best way to do a deadlift. This revolutionary way of thinking might just be the edge I need."
"At the end of the day, I didn't really understand what "bones" or "muscle" mean so I'm just coming here on my own. Excited."

Nervous for 8 moves? Does this guy know what level Magnus is on?
Exactly! That made me so mad!
It's not about the level of Magnus Carlsen that makes me laugh, it's because 8 moves are just a basic opening
Maybe he misphrased it. I think he meant "I was able to play correctly for the first 8 moves which is a victory for me". Then he goes on to say that he noticed that he blundered with the knight move as Carlsen's body language switched from concentration to a more relaxed posture
Hahah the first 8 moves being opening theory, which meant he thought his opening theory would scare magnus
That 8 moves are always pre-planned if bullet player is playin
Wow this man built an algorithm for chess? Genius. Absolutely lightyears ahead of everyone. Stockfish is shaking
Its almost like humans aren’t capable of immediately learning and applying algorithms to chess games like computers

He could.. obesesive learner can be monstrous
I think the reason why people give him so much hate for this video is it’s fairly insulting to chess. Like, another one of his 30-day challenges was “learn a backflip” it wasn’t “beat Simone Biles on a floor routine.” But when it came to chess he begins by saying he can design software to solve the game as if there haven’t been actual programmers and chess players refining exactly that sort of software for decades. Then he pays however much money for the greatest player alive, maybe ever, to play against him and be nice to him afterwards so he can feel like he wasn’t being a total clown the whole time. The entire thing just reeks of cringy, entitled arrogance. - Morgan Freeman
I believe a 80's chess playing software would've beaten him. EZ

I’m a very average amateur and I have to agree..... Thinking 1 month would have any impact on the outcome is crazy. Too many other people deserve the opportunity.
Having said that I like the guys idea and determination to try 12 new things over 12 months. Everyone should try new things. So good for him.

Race with Usain bolt after a month of excercise.
after a month of NOT* exercising
After a month of researching the best type of exercise to do, but running out of time to do the exercises.
He stands a better chance at beating Usain because of the possibility that Usain tears his achilles mid-race. No chance at besting Magnus here.
Play csgo or dota
The funny part is that he is almost more likely to beat Usain in a race then Carlsen at chess
“22 minutes and 21 seconds of play later...”

Lol for real?
@@paulhk2727 It makes sense. You can play the first 8 - 12 moves completely from theory. Given that this clown doesn't know any theory, Magnus could do literally anything he wanted in those moves.

..."I realyzed I wont be able to run faster than him so I develpoed this exo-suit which will make me run really fast, I cant build it in time though"
Bangle Wei no chance even if you are a prodigy. Magnus is the prodigy to end all prodigys and even on top of that he has been studying the game for tens of thousands of hours over the course of years
I mean anyone can beat Usain bolt in a footrace. All you need is the right tool for the job
He never thought he was going to win this tho. He was offered the game by wall street journal and accepted it. He made a blog post about it with daily updates

legend has it that one month later magnus defeated him in back flip, rubik's cube and drawing a self portrait simultaneously
kittu actually I really believe Magnus would beat him at the rubik’s cube easily, it’s not that hard, and Magnus definitely has a higher iq that this guy and that would make him learn faster.
Mario Alvear Yeah as someone who knows how to solve rubix cubes fast, there’s actually very little intellect involved. Most of it is recognition and then executing (on muscle memory of you practice enough) an algorithm (which is simply a series of moves that you memorize). I bet most people can solve it under 20 seconds if they dedicate time into it.
iimm0rtal Tanki yeah I know, I used to solve the rubik’s cube as well, just practiced for around 3 months and I my PB was 19sec, but a higher iq would really help to learn faster, besides Magnus has a really good memory so he could easily beat Max’s PB if he tries hard
while blind folded and only given algebraic notation for reference
And magnus be like "too weak too slow"
"aha, Magnus is taking a longer time to play, he seems nervous!"

Maybe tyson would be nervous because the kid could pee his pants and make the boxing ring stink.
"Unfortunately I ran out of time"
Dude, you got mated, and didn't even notice it. Magnus had to extend his hand to you for you to understand it. Usually it's the loser that extends his hand to admit defeat.
No, he meant that he forgot what to do while memorizing the algorithm which led to downfall as checkmate.
i think he run out of time preparing for the game not during the game
also usually the winner extends the hand
@@SkyGalerio nope, he is right.
Usually, the loser extends his hand 5-10 moves before he gets 'mated. These players are worlds apart from the host. Anyone can memorize an opening but the GMs will anihilate you in mid game. Magnus probably agreed to trade some pieces just to speed things up and was never anywhere near danger at any point during the match. It is like an English professor talking to someone who barely speaks English. Totally incomparable
If you type in “moron vs chess grandmaster” this video comes up first.
Yep factz
true
I literally searched it, and yeah, you're right XD
You're right
Knowing Carlsen for the humongous troll that he is, he agreed to this with the sole purpose of publicly spanking this guy. Which he totally did.
I don't know what's more arrogant. Thinking you can beat the world champion in a several hundred years old game after a month of practice, or that he could develop a highly accurate position evaluation algorithm(and somehow learn the algorithm himself) in a month, which computer scientists and mathematicians have been working on for decades.

The concept of giving yourself a month to learn something is fun, but you've got to have realistic goals
Yeah like the backflip thing. It’s fine to say you wanna learn a backflip in a month, but what he tried to do here is win an Olympic gold in gymnastics a month. He completely overshot what’s realistic.
I think he's a dreamer and turned it into marketing stunts. If he makes it, good on him. Reality will slap him in the face obviously, but he may get lucky and get away with the money during his stunts ;-)
And a free month. More actually. Who's got that? An entire month just to learn to draw
Next he should try to challenge Gordon Ramsay to a cook off after spending a month in amy's bakery
He would be a dead man.
Gordon's going to turn him into a donut
@@sergefiedyt He's already a donut
Amy who?
@Bernie Sanders To be fair James is a good cook
The most frustrating thing isn’t the notion that he claimed his computer could come up with the perfect game and it would go well with Magnus, it’s that he thought he could memorize all of the moves and all of the responses in a few hours.
even his little computer would get absolutely annihilated by magnus
or even me (because it would be totally lost in positions that it does not know, which would be all of them)
I think it's pretty safe to say he wasn't actually building a chess algorithm. Who knows if even knows what Stockfish is. The guy is a just a self-promotional fraud.
He can do pull-ups and memorize simple patterns AND hes done a backflip?!?!? The most amazing genius of our generation hands down.
Ahahahahahha i agree
Lol
He can't do pull-ups. Watch the video, but at your own peril-it might be even worse than this one.

"Against a lifetime of learning chess" isn't the point. I've spent a longer life learning chess than Carlsen has. I'm 64. He will still beat me every time.
Yeah, plenty of people spent their entire life on chess but Carlsen is also insanely talented.
That’s what separates geniuses/prodigies/GOATs from us normies. They were born to do what they do. We were born and try our best.

The only time Magnus was nervous in this entire video was probably when they asked him why he agreed to this. He was probably going through a hundred different responses to say "I wanted to see how stupid this man is" as humbly as possible.
And saying Magnus is a chess player and he wins a lot is like saying Muhammad Ali is a boxer and he punches a lot.
What would’ve been funny is after Magnus they brought in a 1200 rated 11 year old and said “here you go Max, let’s give you an opportunity to make yourself look like more of a clown”
That would have been great.
There are IMs that age too
LOL!
@@alanpereyra5503 yeah but he probably couldnt bear the 1200

“When I moved my knight, you kind of twitched a bit” That “twitch” was definitely the same reaction that Magnus had when Nepo played c5 at the World Chess Championship.
4:59 *"The first five moves"*👌
Fr? This guy is literally bragging about how he memorized an opening.
XDaniel Z. One of the most simple openings too
A little delusional this guy. But hey in his world he almost beat magnus. If Only his inferior computer had calculated the algorithm faster. Not his fault......
the funny thing is that he says i keep him nervous for the first 8 moves, hahaahahha imagine
First 5 moves in a Ruy Lopez too(though Magnus didn't play any of the 3 most common replies). I'm like 1k rating and I know more than 5 moves in most lines of that opening.
Seems like he’s being ironic
This guys ego is bigger than his brain
Then it's not very big
What you mean to say is magnus’ brain
Peter Cavanaugh I GETTTT IT
Well i guess its a battle of whos got the bigger ego then
People who brag instantly fall in this category unfortunately. Being humble is key.
I feel like Magnus could just give his hand to the guy without even have checkmated him and he would still believe it.
haha lol correct
edit: krrect (IYKWIM)
"checkmate in 17 moves"
Magnus is actually an 'extreme learner' and a true 'genius' and obsessive personality who has spent his entire life doing every single month what Max just did for only one month. What Max did this month - obsessively learning the 'algorithm' of the Ruy Lopez - Magnus did when he was 7. Not only that Magnus has done it consistently better than hundreds of other 'extreme learners' and 'geniuses' and this dude thought he could beat Magnus!!! lol
What a clown. Lol
On top of that, many chess players have been trying to do it to extremes all over the world, without ever getting to that top.
I mean this dude is basically the diet version of Mike Shake

Next challenge: Defeat NASA after learning astrophysics for a month
At least that would be easier than beating the best player in the world at chess.
@@jamesh1369 Not astrophysics. Aerospace engineering and that is way tougher than astrophysics.
@@SaeedAcronia Aerospace engineering is hard, but astrophysics is another beast way way harder.
@@Obs1986 I beg to differ. Aerospace engineers deal with life and death. Everything has to be precisely calculated and tested. It is easy sitting behind a desk do the calculations solely on paper when there is no danger. Just check out how an airplane is tested before being allowed to fly. It goes through an unbelievable amount of re-calculation, modelling, and testing. Don't get me started on space missions.
@@SaeedAcronia Yes however something that is theoretical isn't always easier than something practical. I consider astrophysics and theoretical physics tougher than medicine and engineering because everything has to be figured out in your head without any tangible evidence or proof that something works a certain way.
Side topic, but notice how Magnus, introduces himself in the most humble way possible. 'I am _currently ranked_ No 1. in the world in chess'. This phrasing kind of ephasises that the ranking is made by others, and it won't last forever. It's quite elegant.
That's an interesting observation. It says a lot about Magnus.
what do you mean "made by others"? the rating in chess reflects your performance. it's "made by others" just like it's made by you. when you're winning, it increases, when you're losing, it decreases. "others" are just keeping the score.
or do you imagine chess rating is like an IMDB movie rating, where people just vote subjectively :)
It's not made by others.
@@achessjourney402 The ranking system is made by others. And I agree it's his accomplishment but still saying "currently ranked" sounds more humble than saying "I am No. 1.", let alone "I am the best" or sg.
Let's just appreciate how polite Magnus is about all of this, he's very down-to-earth.
He's probably laughing with his friends after this lol.
@@abhinavjain2985 Doubtful. I'm sure they thought it was entertaining, but no one honestly thought he would have given Magnus any bit of trouble. He could have started the game 5 pieces down and played blind folded and could have beaten him handily. It was just for fun and everyone knew the outcome.
@Gerry Buckets Pretty sure he's not. Something has usually gotta be funny for someone to laugh at something. Maybe that's just me tho.
@Gerry Buckets If you think he honestly thought he could beat Magnus then I don't know what to tell you.
He is a troll
Just sad that Magnus did not try to scholar mate this guy
Hahahahahahaha Yes. Would have been Epic 😂
LOL. and notice how they purposely skipped the whole match
Imagin loooool
So it is possible?
Lol
seems like this guy has done a good job convincing himself that he's smarter than he actually is.
I don't know. Solving a Rubix cube in 17 seconds is a pretty impressive feet. You need to be smart in order to do that.
lol no you don't, ask anyone who has time
Neh, I'm to apathetic to bother.
tommoore2012 solving a Rubio cube seems hard but really it’s simple.
tommoore2012
No you need a brain that can develope a small amount of intuition to do that. (Not much brain required) not that rubix cubes are bad but it isn't quite like solving a game that has more possible games than atoms in the universe.
Him next month be like: "Keeping Usain Bolt a little bit nervous for at least 10 meters was a minor victory" 💀
I love how Carlsen is just saying “yeah yeah” to everything this guys says.
That alone expresses the essence of this video.
So, he basically played against a world chess champion without any training or preparation. That's pretty stupid.
Master Classical Guitarist, Andres Segovia, said, "Anyone can learn to play the guitar...poorly." One month at anything that actually requires any significant skill or practice will only ever result in becoming very poor at it...which many ignorant people will perceive as brilliant because its beyond what they have achieved. Chess is one of those activities that require 10,000+ hours to become 'good' at, and a million to master. This is not only stupid, but either speaks to his gross hubris, or his complete ignorance.
@typedeaf maybe you didn't understand the challenge very well, but he set out to beat the grandmaster, not to master chess in a month. And he wasn't learning chess in said month, he was waiting for a home brewed computer software to make the plays for him. The decision of making an algorythim to beat the grandmaster was his best shot compared to actually trying to learn chess precisely because he understands it's an undoable task simply timewise. It just happened that even that was far fetched. Still, the best strategy available for the position he was in.
The thing is, certainly didn't make for an entertaining and interesting experience. Would have been so SO much more satisfying to see him taking a true approach to learning the chess than doing nothing in a month while waiting for an algorythim to execute. Wasted opportunit, just ended up coming across as an arrogant douchebag
It's his show, if he actually prepared it'd be a different show
Kamui No, you misunderstood. He was waiting for his idiotic software to come up with manageable algorithms he could memorize. He speaks about this about halfway through the video; he refers to his brain as a "slow computer" a few times.
What the idiot in the video seems to be unable to comprehend is that chess is not the same as a Rubik's cube. you can't simply parrot out an algorithm that someone else came up with and win. His best chance would have been to study 100s of games in a very stupid trappy opening, and pray that Magnus stumbled into some weird preparation. Instead, he played a variant of one of the most common openings and found himself in an awkward position by move 12.
It was a ludicrous goal set by a delusional fool. I'd be shocked if he could beat a 1500 player half the time.... But he's probably moved on to learning how to tie his shoes by now.
Bee Farley yea thats what I mean, his whole plan was to get a software as a gimmick to win him the game, through memorizing the algorithms, which I agree, is not only idiotic, it also made for a really dissapointing video really. I can't help but feel seconhand shame for this guy. I can only imagine the dissapointment magnus felt when he realized his plan was an actual gimmick like this
This is an insult to chess grandmasters everywhere.
magnus carls losser😂😂
It's an insult to 1600 rated club players. Average club player could wreck this kiddo while blindfolded.
This is an insult to chess players everwhere!
if you plug this game into a stock fish engine, carlsons rating of play was at 90% (based on engine best moves) and the guys was at 32% the average for 32% is around 700, im only 13 and no professional, i know how to play the game and i know a few openings, i’m 750 at best and i would destroy this dude edit: i’m 14 now
This Max guy is lucky Magnus is polite, if he challenged Kasparov the Karen of Chess, he'd been shamed and ridiculed to death
You can tell when he was talking about Magnus twitching a little and that "it was going to be okay", he got hella confused and then just said "yeah yeah" for the sake of it. Imagine what would've happened if it was Kasparov.
@@pi6141 Kasparov will put a shame on him he will never set foot outside of his house anymore, I really wish he challenge Kasparov hahaha
Honestly tho, if he challenged Levy aka GothamChess... I think he would never try anything in his life ever again after the storm of verbal abuse and lectures about danger levels!
Yeah, either Kasparov or Fischer will be sufficient for this dude to rethink his life decisions. Those two were the fiercest competitors and quite verbal about it.

Forget amateurs, pros can’t beat Magnus. That’s what being world champion means.
@@KonradGebura he wasn't talking about magnus
@@KonradGebura dumbwit 😂
It's insulting in a way to have a goal so silly as beating Magnus. The general population doesn't seem to understand two things about high level chess: 1) you have to have a savant-like natural ability to achieve high level play. For over 99.9% of the population it's just a non-starter, and 2) on top of your absurd natural ability you have to study and play the game obsessively for years and years.
@@rxw5520 exactly, except magnus didn't need to play for years to be good because he's a prodigy

@@KevinLuWX I agree, Ill copy paste my other comment - "I'm sure if he just studied basic chess principles and learned how to calculate for a month he would've put up a better game. Imagine being on even the 2nd day of your challenge as your computer is still processing positions and thinking that it's viable to memorize them all (let alone 3 hours before the match).."
@@Qira7beats He wasn't trying to memorize positions, he was trying to create and memorize an algorithm for *analyzing* the positions. "if he just studied basic chess principles and how to calculate": that's literally what he was doing, but it turns out that's harder than you think it is. It's almost as if he spent a month and a half on this and all you did was watch a six minute video.
