Imagine how bad it is chess in real life, like imagine just trading you wife, a frickin bishop a horse and a moving tower Edit : While the other kingdom is trading some spice and trading material, here in chess we trade our wife, our bishop, a few horses and tower
"This tower is now yours" "How do I get this thing home?" "Just yell a letter and a number! The magic tower will move on it's own! g5!" *tower starts sliding at mach 3 over a mountain*
I mean chess is basically war between two kingdoms. The two kings send troops to do some damage to the opponents on the battle ground. Back then, there was something called gentleman warfare where one side goes first then the other. The reason why kings move only one square is because they must be protected and they are kinda lazy. Also if the king falls, then the troops have no one to lead them therefore making them lose. That is essentially checkmate. Within the opponents next move, the king will be captured. The reason why the queen moves everywhere is because people had seen queens becoming more powerful in real life. Before the queen used to move one square like the king, but since queens started rising in power, they made the queen the most powerful peice. It is a grusom and terrible real life game sending troops to die but that is war....
3:51 Ahem ... The rope-a-dope: "The rope-a-dope is a boxing fighting technique most famously associated with Muhammad Ali in his October 1974 Rumble in the Jungle match against world heavyweight champion George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire."
6:26 I remember a better situations: in our chess club our trainer played multiple games at the same time and two brothers, one playing white, other playing black copied his moves from the game trainer played against another brother. So essentially trainer played two identical games against himself one as white, other as black
4:13 I died when he starts counting in japanese And i was like what the Fk Is he like chanting some witch curses or something And realised it was japanese lol
technically Mr. Brown "performed" a feat of memory, he had an uneven amount of opponents ranging in skill level - he replayed all the GM's games against the "stronger" weaker players, played the intermediates against eachother (inevitably one would come out on top), and played (one) legit chess match against the weakest player and narrowly won. wins 4, loses 3 draws 2? (paraphrased score, but something along that ratio of win%)
Derren Brown played against GMs and played other player's moves against them so in 11/12 vs 1 he had to play only 1 real game, making him even. Didn't use engines.
The boxing match was Muhammad Ali & George Foreman. George Foreman was the raining champion because he had beaten Joe Frazier (who had beaten Ali [the first time they fought]). After this round Ali would win the fight becoming the heavyweight championship. After this fight Ali would challenge & fight Joe Frazier for the final time (the two fight in the ring three times).
Why didn’t he just add 2 to each side of the standard 8x8 chess board lol… and then why did he start over and start counting in Japanese instead after reaching 5
fun fact: for some reason a lot of people do not know what en passant is to the points were even someone said what i did was not a legal move in chess XD

“PLAYBOY”

These videos are so good. I laughed throughout the entirety of this one, some good memers on the subreddit

Well, you definitely will have much more fun playing with a Playboy than with a Gameboy.
