To the proofreading backwards comment- you can do that when drawing a portrait or very recognizable objects too. If you're drawing from a picture, you flip it upside down (and your drawing of course) and you start to see the face or objects more as shapes and shades. Lots of people are amazed at how much better (or more accurate) their drawing turned out than they thought by doing this. It's an early lesson in drawing representationally that's useful to recognize the same logic Maurice mentions with the double "the." The mind imposes preconceived ideas of a face or object rather than seeing it for a series small decisions based on shape and shade.

i worked a chemistry problem backward once in an exam, it saved me 20 marks. i kinda knew the answer i just couldn’t show my work, so working it backwards showed me all the steps. amazing how it works!
@@waffy8798 well from the question i could tell that the answer is a group 1 or 2 metal, so i tried every group 1&2 metal until i came to the initial value. basically trial and error working backwards. there’s many ways to work things backwards!
i know if i have 5 i won't ask for trade because if u have 6 u won't trade... what i fail to understand, if i have 3 or 4 why wouldn't i or you trade ?
Adeel Malik if you have a 4, you know a 6 would not trade and a 5 would not trade (if we assume rational persons). So a 4 wont trade rationally. Now if you have a 3, you know, that 4,5,6 dont trade. In the same manner a 2 doesnt trade. So only the 1 will trade because you will get a higher number 100%. You could trade a 2 though if you believe your counterpart is not acting rationally. And for most humans thats probably the case.
William YamYam To me this is just prediction at its best, removing all the fun from games. It's like explaining a sports game by pure physics and chemistry, over than luck, passion and willpower. Sure it's interrelated, and maybe only a matter of time before mastering it. But imagine this card problem between two "grandmasters" : the simple fact that one of them asks "I want to trade" means it has a one in hand. So why bother, it just has to say "Well, victory is yours good sir, well done." without even looking at the results, like machines. If neither of them has a one, they'll just keep their number without saying anything and see who's f*cked by probabilities. That's how I picture their chess games, that's also probably how other statistics fields like finance works. Dehumanizing things to get close to that 100% winning situation.
+William YamYam I disagree, i think he failed to mention that others would be playing along. He said "you and I" and repeated several times and then changed the rules by saying 4 other people (i presume) also picked up a card.
+William YamYam However, it has a fault. The fault is that it is possible the other person is not assuming you are purely rational. See, it's two stages away from first person conception. A person may have a 3, and hope you will trade up for a 4 or 5. Considering he's more than likely to lose with a 3, he feels behind the 8 ball and hopes you'll bite. Here's an illustration of the problem. A man is sentenced to be executed sometime next week. However, the man is told that the day he is executed will be a total surprise to him, there is no way to know in advance when he will be executed. That means that we know one thing for sure to start: that he won't be executed on Saturday. If he's not dead by Friday, he knows when it is coming. That rules out Saturday. But since we know it CANT be Saturday, there is now certainty that if he isn't killed by Thursday, he'll definitely be killed on Friday. So he can't be killed on Friday either. With Friday and Saturday ruled out, we now know that he can't be killed on Thursday, because he'd know on Wednesday that he was getting killed on Thursday. So on and so forth, and you've ruled out every day of the week. Its a paradoxical judgement. Right? Unless he is simply executed on any of the days, which would be a total surprise, something he could never have seen coming. Retrograde Analysis is a tool in the logical belt, but it can't be used for every problem. In games, this is where a person who is good but not great loses to a novice with "beginner's luck", who is simply making irrational decisions.
This really reminds me of King Solomon's phrase, already old and experienced: "Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, 'I find no pleasure in them' ". Even with many warnings and signs, not realizing the existence of the Creator and living as if he doesn't exist seems to be the biggest mistake of people. Perhaps if they could come to the end and understand what Solomon said, they would seek to know Jesus Christ deeply, and everything He did for us, as He came from heaven, served men, performed many signs and miracles, and was killed for our sins, loving us to the point of dying on a cross, that we might have life. And by the power of the Creator, he rose on the third day, and is seated at His right hand. Perhaps with Solomon's warning, you will understand how incredible God's love is and how he loves you personally, to the point of giving his own life for you.
brostepisthebest It means that if you know how life will be when you're older, you'll be less active and eventually die, you'll soend the time while you're younger doing things you want and being happy and doing things rather than wasting that time and regretting it when it's too late (when you're old)
You have a very interesting way of looking at things Maurice. I am definitely going to take your suggestion and use a retrograde approach to my own chess games. Thank you for doing this video.
I don't think you can see through the end game. It is not feasible. However, when you play chess, you need to pay attention to your end game pawn structure. One pawn structure with even rows is more preferable than equal, but with double pawns or stand alone pawns. This helps to ultimately win. You steer the game move by move to worsen your opponents position and then promote a pawn. GM Karpov was a big influencer in this strategy.
I used to go over my chess losses using what I called "backtrack analysis". I would first ask myself why I resigned. Let's say it was material loss (instead of horrible position). Then why did I lose material? Because too much pressure on the b-pawn. Why too much pressure? Because I traded the c-pawn, isolating it. So then I would find the original "mistakes" (such as trading the c-pawn) in my games that led to the pressure and bad moves. That was organic and helpful. There are only 2 problems with this technique: One is that it is not necessarily the pressure or temporary loss of material which was the mistake, but how I handled it (often a strong computer thought nothing wrong with the "mistake" move--the real mistake was what I did afterwards). The other is that it does not necessarily tell you how to play the position, or to find the right move, only that the move you chose was bad. Chess is hard.
The card problem is an EXCELLENT lesson of poker !! Il don't know if I will be understood by poker players here but it is the base of thinking process un poker
Regarding Project Management: working backward is a great way to make everything work out. Start at the finish. What is your end goal? What has to happen to get to that end goal? Call those sub-goals 1-x. When do those sub-goals need to be accomplished? What needs to be done to accomplish these sub-goals? Call those new sub-goals...and so forth until you reach the beginning.
If you know what you want in life, then you'd be working on it (presumably during your youth), and after many years of working on it you have successfully attained your goal, therefore you did not waste your time during youth. Generally most youngters dont know what they want in life therefore "not being able to see the end game".
Regarding the bacteria question So the bacteria doubles every day, so lets say for the lake to be full it will take 100% ,so on day 59 ,lets say it was 50% percent so when it doubles it becomes 100%
The video is so good to watch, the content is very practical for viewers, Van thank you for sharing, waiting for the channel to release more new videos
It comes from the quote "Youth is wasted on the young". The idea is that being young is a wonderful thing, yet young people do not know how to make the best use of it. Older people have a lifetime of experience and could make better use of it. For example, I am handsome yet a bit shy about meeting new people. I am sure that in 40 years I will look back and know that I should have been more outgoing and taken better advantage of my youthful looks.
Hence endgame. Deep blue was created based on such probabilities i.e. born out of the ending instead of the beginning, thats why the premises was chess and not tic tac toe. Tic tac toe begins with the probability of tie, hence endless game.
As far as I know josh never made it to grandmaster, Waitzkin might have been great but he never stuck with chess. Maurice Ashley is a strong grandmaster and clearly a much better player.
I believe most people start at the end, except for some cognitive incapacity or superhuman ability that would not need to analyze other paths but automatically correct the correct one.
I liked that card stuff. But there is a complication. The problem is that ultimately, if both players are rational, and both players know that each player is rationnal, neither would ever want to trade, even if one of them had 1, because he knows the other one wouldn't want to trade(this is the ultimate deduction that Maurice Ashley is kind of eluding in the talk). So his offer signals that he isn't sure if his opponent is rational. But then i can start the backward induction from 1: let there be players A,B, and suppose B has 3. Then after waiting ''a while'' Player B can think: ''if A had 1, he would offer his card right away - to test my rationality. But because he doesn't say anything, he must have bigger than 2. Then if he had 2, he would wait to see if i offer to exchange, because i might have 1. If i don't say anything, then he would conclude i have a card bigger than 2. Then he would offer his card - again testing B's rationality. But it doesn't happen. Therefore, he must have a higher card than 3, and i will try to exchange.'' This is the kind of complication that arise from assuming both players are rationnal, but don't know if the other player is rationnal. But the thing is, this assumption is necessary for there ever being one player offering his card.
That was surprisingly enlightening at the end. The lecture had a soft, but strong finish. I did not see the movie reference, or the age reference coming at all.
Words of advice that relate to the ending that I've always resonated with and repeat. Look to someone that has achieved what you want to achieve in life and reverse engineer what they've done.
Yea well actually it's both; magicians use this type of trickery, too. They want you to concentrate on something else while they are doing something somewhere else. It's great ability to concentrate on more important things but it can be used against you.
What do you mean? Magicians will work with your intuition and reactions while they are doing the trick, that would be the equivalent of you reading a text that passes through the screen without having time for any type of different reading or analysis (if you are seeing it for the first time). Also, many magical tricks are incredibly hard to figure out even with mutiple viewings and different types of analysis, so I'm not sure you picked a good example.
You know. It's funny I peaked at 2000 elo. With USCF.... (which is strong but nothing compared to a GM) I get that all the time from family or friends. "You must be a genius" its simple problem solving methods he uses and he happens to be better then the majority of humans. Somewhere along the line he has a gift or a intuition because I put in so much effort excel and I hit a plateu. I dont know how else to continue. To get to his level.
Well done, this reminded me of Richard Bandler and his wonderful book called "Using Your Brain for a Change" and and his NLP method for controlling and using your brain.
2 sets, 1,2 or 3 =>trade & 4,5 or 6 => Don't Trade You got 2 , If other person says trade ,rationally that means his Number is in set of {1,2or 3 },but not 2 cz you have it , So other person is having either 1 or 3. It's 50/50 to trade or not ,rationally. GM said if you trade you are gonna lose money, I didn't understand tht part with number 3 ?plz explain if someone understood more correctly than me. But considering human Psychology, If the person get 1 he/she's gonna think and stare probably more before trading to give you an impression they haven't got 1😂.
Now I see the trick, all this time I have been thinking how is that possible grandmasters can calculate 15-20 moves ahead accurately.. Now I see they actually use the methods mentioned on the video. Now I am gonna do the same on my chess games, and guess what? Very soon I will the grandmaster too😊
Good luck! Indeed, that technique is very useful in devising a strategy. First, you set up a dream position for all your chess pieces, and then you work backwards on how to reach such position and voila! It takes a lot of practice though.
I have been developed by myself and using this technique since secondary school without knowing it until now. It helped me solve 90% of the problem even when I'm working as a Data Scientist now. Damn I think I'm a genius
I think it's about having a goal in mind for your future while you are young and plan each step according to what is imagined. Thus, the time spent in minor things will be reduced. :)

That was surprisingly enlightening at the end. The lecture had a soft, but strong finish. I did not see the movie reference, or the age reference coming at all.
English not my foreign language so it quite easy too see "The The"
Minh Đào Phú Yeah, that's what is happening with reading it backwards too. You have to focus on each word, and so you don't skip over it.
that right
it's not my first language either but i didn't see it.
This is epic.It gave me a whole new way to think . Especially in problem solving while using dynamic programming.
More Maurice Ashley!
maybe the best TED so far!
An awesome introduction to Dynamic Programming!
I swear to God this is a basic concept in a concept called Dynamic Programming. This video is very good
After this talk I feel really accomplished having watched the Avengers: Endgame 3 times in the cinema. Turns out I was on to something.
Why does this have no likes?
Smooth TED talk
I never believed that youth is wasted on the young. I hated being a teenager and would never want to go through those hard lessons again.
Words of advice that relate to the ending that I've always resonated with and repeat. Look to someone that has achieved what you want to achieve in life and reverse engineer what they've done.
Hello there Maurice. Excellent presentation. Thank u for sharing this Wisdom.
one of the best of TEDeducation (y)
I was going to say not so smooth. But very interesting. Good job!
Oh please. That's getting old.
So are you. What are you going to do about it?
Jesus...really? It was a great talk. I'm sure you would get up there and just kill it.
@alfa-psi yep. lol
at least he is a great player. Or wait, is he ?
Honestly one of my favorit Ted talks I have every hear :D
Yea well actually it's both; magicians use this type of trickery, too. They want you to concentrate on something else while they are doing something somewhere else. It's great ability to concentrate on more important things but it can be used against you.
What do you mean? Magicians will work with your intuition and reactions while they are doing the trick, that would be the equivalent of you reading a text that passes through the screen without having time for any type of different reading or analysis (if you are seeing it for the first time). Also, many magical tricks are incredibly hard to figure out even with mutiple viewings and different types of analysis, so I'm not sure you picked a good example.
Best comments I’ve seen for a UA-cam video in a long time. I should have read them before watching it. Doh!
I realized the secret message of this video when I watched it backwards
You know. It's funny I peaked at 2000 elo. With USCF.... (which is strong but nothing compared to a GM) I get that all the time from family or friends. "You must be a genius" its simple problem solving methods he uses and he happens to be better then the majority of humans. Somewhere along the line he has a gift or a intuition because I put in so much effort excel and I hit a plateu. I dont know how else to continue. To get to his level.
“What’s your favorite move in chess?”
The chonk chart (when he said chunking)😂
nope G4
I think it is neat that a Chess Grand Master can make these connections that benefit anyone.
This is so deep. Like, really deep.
One of the most interesting videos I have seen on UA-cam
Well done, this reminded me of Richard Bandler and his wonderful book called "Using Your Brain for a Change" and and his NLP method for controlling and using your brain.
nice second and there buddy
Great , great lesson, and thinking method to be taken into consideration, daily, thanks for this video
This is genius, although technically the the problem is that it's hard for me to find the 2nd "the".
damn it
I love how the intro music is played backwards. Revelant to the topic
"if you see the end game" great sentence really wish more people would understand it.
But it's imposible to have a knowledge of the end before the begining.
That message was meant for the few people who will receive it!
Game of Life. Well said and well played!
This reminded me of "The scientist" by Coldplay...
The lyrics include "take me back to the start."
Something mundane and boring?
The music video? Lol
Ricardo Vulcano check out Levar Kizer on UA-cam Asymmetrical Warfare
Ya good stuff
This just opened my mind
2 sets,
1,2 or 3 =>trade & 4,5 or 6 => Don't Trade
You got 2 ,
If other person says trade ,rationally that means his Number is in set of {1,2or 3 },but not 2 cz you have it ,
So other person is having either 1 or 3.
It's 50/50 to trade or not ,rationally.
GM said if you trade you are gonna lose money,
I didn't understand tht part with number 3 ?plz explain if someone understood more correctly than me.
But considering human Psychology,
If the person get 1 he/she's gonna think and stare probably more before trading to give you an impression they haven't got 1😂.
If no one will trade with 4, 5 or 6 then why would you trade with 3? You could only lose.
I have the same question
Read it backwards for proof reading. Nice tip for the exam!
This is really deep. If I have seen my end game I would be different.
Man we put the flavor in everything!✊🏿
The two "the' stumped me twice. I was like what is he talking about with this 2nd 'the'
A very valuable lesson and a very good delivery.
Now I see the trick, all this time I have been thinking how is that possible grandmasters can calculate 15-20 moves ahead accurately.. Now I see they actually use the methods mentioned on the video.
Now I am gonna do the same on my chess games, and guess what? Very soon I will the grandmaster too😊
Nice, what's your elo rating?
@@kunalkashelani585 600 I'm guessing
Good luck!
Good luck! Indeed, that technique is very useful in devising a strategy. First, you set up a dream position for all your chess pieces, and then you work backwards on how to reach such position and voila! It takes a lot of practice though.
I have been developed by myself and using this technique since secondary school without knowing it until now. It helped me solve 90% of the problem even when I'm working as a Data Scientist now. Damn I think I'm a genius
The closing quote was truly great!
this is how bobby fisher did it, this is also how I did a lot of calculus practice
Retrograde analysis is the premise upon which technical analysis is based
Merely be careful. That's all. The reading backwards is an exercise.
Yes ,I saw endgame and i'm not wasted my youth
Im not sure i completely understand this. Could someome explain this to me in chess example
5:43 If you can see the end game your youth will not be wasted on you.
Isn't that guy in the center, at 2:44, Anish Giri?
Nope not Anish
looks more like alireza tbh
I think it's about having a goal in mind for your future while you are young and plan each step according to what is imagined. Thus, the time spent in minor things will be reduced. :)
"If you can see the end game, your youth will not be wasted on you."
This really reminds me of King Solomon's phrase, already old and experienced: "Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, 'I find no pleasure in them' ".
Even with many warnings and signs, not realizing the existence of the Creator and living as if he doesn't exist seems to be the biggest mistake of people. Perhaps if they could come to the end and understand what Solomon said, they would seek to know Jesus Christ deeply, and everything He did for us, as He came from heaven, served men, performed many signs and miracles, and was killed for our sins, loving us to the point of dying on a cross, that we might have life. And by the power of the Creator, he rose on the third day, and is seated at His right hand. Perhaps with Solomon's warning, you will understand how incredible God's love is and how he loves you personally, to the point of giving his own life for you, so you can have eternal life.
Maurice is not only very smart- he’s also very wise.
