Do you think you could beat an alien at Chess?

@emom358 6 ай бұрын

That would depend on how different our mental processes.

No. First, they would have their own versions, that requires "translation" and adaptation. Second, don't see it necessary, many good strategist were not really chess players. Some times sheer brutality works.

I couldn't beat my dog at chess but I know enough to know what a feint is.

I chuckled when the chess grandmaster had never considered strategically sacrificing pieces to create openings. I've played maybe a dozen games of chess, and even I understand the concept.

@garysakamoto4007 6 ай бұрын

Sacrificing pieces is an integral part of chess. Even in checkers.

The writer obviously doesn’t understand chess…

Fischer is known to wildly sacrificing pieces to get to his opponents king.

Interesting space battle story. Bad chess story. Saying to surrender, but to continue the match until checkmate, then sacrificing the king which would lose the match and then continuing the fight a regular space battle. It would have been better if the chess match was just something the humans would compare the space battle to, but something both sides would talk about and then just ignore.

I have I have only recently discovered this kind of story based content and I must say up to now your channel has been by far the best the stories you tell are well formed and far less verbally inconsistent I put this down to the fact that you take the time to narrate them yourself rather than trust to an ai generated voice p s more please

Long live the king Bobby Fisher although Carlson is mighty close

Okay. We'll let the chess nerds in the writing room again.

So I'm guessing this was more of a homage to Bobby Fischer?

Idk if they actually seeked the help of a chess master, or at least someone good in chess, how they talk about it, I doubt it but they should have...

I did not like this story it's very disrespectful to fisher and the game of chess

Right... there literally is the "pawn sacrifice" both as a colloquialism and a chess maneuver and he has never heard of it? Full CHaracter destruction achieved, NO chess GM is that dumb, no flag Officer is that dumb and no PhD in a STEM field is that dumb. Have a downvote, I'm out, this is stupid.

@warpedweirdo 6 ай бұрын

Yeah... And no race of beings with superior tactics, technology, and numbers, is going to waste the significant time, resources, and lives on such a frivolous match of "space chess", just to toy with or justify destruction of an entire species. And a "contract"? WHAT?! How can any contract or agreement formed under coercion be trusted? And what is the difference between "surrender" and total annihilation in this ridiculous story? And why "surrender" when the "chess match" was about to be won? That "surrender" cost the humans the promised trophy / reward for agreeing to this game in the first place, right? And why is this space battle spoken of like it's a chess match? There's next to zero similarity! Where are the "gravity wells" and tides on a chess board? The planets? Where are the hidden pieces with unspecified mechanics to jump out like a bogeyman from the bushes? In chess, a piece is either taken or it isn't; there's no drawn out clash in a single move, no point at which the outcome is unknown, the victor not predetermined. Why would humans rely on a disgraced chess master to play a "game" that is nothing like chess, where the rules aren't set, where almost anything goes? This story is a lousy contrivance, unrealistic, inconsistent, contradictory.
