Can Mark Rober Beat A Blindfolded Chess Master?

Before the big chess boom Danny used to stream a lot of his bullet games and I remember thinking, "Wow this guy is super strong". Now of course we have all these GM Streamers competing for viewers... Different times :)

He played really bad tho,multiple misses, blundering a piece

indeed, he is a IM 🤡

[@svenkefa4552]

How did the a6 confusion tactic work out so well

[@Mikegeb4545]

That is weird move, any person unless he is an absolute beginner doesn't play that move. As a result, Danny's pattern recognition was messed up and forgot the pawn is pushed in the middle game stage

[@Math.Bandit]

The a6 pawn thing is so interesting to me, as someone with Aphantasia. Gives me a better understanding of how even for visualizers it's not as easy as 'just have the board in your head'

[@skwebjacob]

Yeah not at all, it’s still quite difficult to visualize in detail. Super cool, I wish I could know what it’s like it’s so interesting to me

[@afj810]

dude let alone the average person, even the average chess player can't do this

[@asetheticaii3001]

Mental vision of things isn't a picture you can "see" in the same way you see things with your vision, it's difficult to explain. You can't really "visualize" the changes in the board, as it's much closer to just memory, rather than moving the piece on that board in your head. So in general complex things like the ENTIRETY of the chess board would take a lot of time to get good at "imagining". Random question if you don't mind, can you see images during dreams? I've heard it can vary, considering aphantasia is present in a different section of the brain, but it's still super interesting.

[@Josh-dm8uw]

Aphantasia has nothing to do with blindfolded chess btw

[@asetheticaii3001]

@Josh-dm8uw Do explain?

[@karimolin8560]

Danny does a lot of things outside playing it is easy to forget that he is an IM and a good chess player 😂

[@vignesh6654]

[@TheColinShowGaming]

It's very interesting that they started talking about high-level chess being a game of patern recognition at 3:57. There's this book I read called "The Sports Gene" by David Epstein. In a nutshell, the book tries to settle the debate on which has a bigger influence on athletes. Their genes or how they were raised. They did a section on chess players. If I remember correctly, they wanted to see if different level chess players had different abilities in how fast they could memorize their game. They found the higher the level the chess player was, the less time they needed to reconstruction a WHOLE chess board FROM MEMORY! By the time they got to Grand Master, they could almost always recreate the entire game they were shown, from a random picture of a chess board being shown for less than 2 second! Crazy!

[@williamcarr1770]

There's very famously an experiment that was done with chess memorization -- when GMs and novices were shown real chess positions and asked to memorize them, the GMs could remember the positions nearly flawlessly and the novices made many mistakes. When they were shown positions that were not real chess positions and were just randomly placed pieces, the GMs and novices did about the same. Which goes to show GMs arent memorizing every piece -- they're remembering similar positions, pawn structure, important motifs, etc.

[@pugsondrugs6556]

You have to be AT LEAST 800 ELO to have a chance against Danny.

[@bigloglog]

😂

[@shucklesors]

mark is easily 800 elo... against Danny blindfolded and having a 50/50 chance probably you'd have to be 1.6k or 1.7k plus lol

[@nelsonmonte4469]

I fully came into this video expecting Mark to build a chess robot to move the pieces for him

[@kenf5779]

[@tomasdiaz1974]

They should have left the board on display the whole time.

[@jordanhenshaw]

I’m not sure if he actually forgot about it. If you’re asking which pawn, you know there’s 2. You would have just taken with queen and would have been been hella confused when game wasn’t over.

[@Krissco2]

I had to play that back 3:04. DR: Rxb5. Someone: "WHAAT"? MR: "Interesting". DR: "Oh I forgot you played a6". MR: "Pawn takes". DR: "Which pawn takes?" So the "WHAAT" + "Interesting" made him recall that a6 started the game, so he knew at that point to ask "which pawn" yet had forgotten it when moving Rxb5.

[@Khantia]

I thought that Mark would be blindfolded, but he'd have some device to help him :P

[@lordneeko]

At about 6:45 had Mark not been running for his life, he had two moves with his knight that could have earned him checkmate.

[@phoenixinthetrees1446]

He should have got one of his clever squirrels to play for him... (or, as he tested a crow recently, another corvid - a rook, of course...)

[@DarylTee-w9g]

I, too, thought Mark would "cheat" somehow using some crazy tech invention he made. Still interesting, but not what I was expecting to see.

Title is confusing. It should say "Can Mark Rober Beat A Blindfolded Chess Master". The current title of "Can Mark Rober Beat A Chess Master Blindfolded" means Mark Rober is the one who is blindfolded. Add on top that no one is actually blindfolded and this is click bait.

[@tristindurocher-batley4780]

I knew mark was going to lose without a robot but I’m surprised he made a chess grandmaster take him seriously after he made a minor blunder I love chess because anyone can play chess but only a select few can master the game plus chess is most fun when skill level is equal while I’m no where near grandmaster level I’m happy with being able to play chess with my brother especially since he’s the only person who is more or less my level at least in my household

[@omnitoad2187]

As someone who got into chess in the last couple years and watch tonnes of chess content, this video made me scoff like an arrogant ****bag. Mark Rober thought he was showing off by calling out the "Scholar's Mate" but he already had a knight in place preventing it, so there was no scholar's mate... plus the moves were all wrong, but we'll just ignore that.

I felt like this was a different type of video from Mark Rober. So I checked, and this wasn't uploaded by him either. His content is being aimed towards a way smaller and dumber audience of like 9-year-olds, and it bothers me, because I felt like he could teach a lot to a more mature audience.
