The engineers were probably writing moves tbh

[@NicholasMati]

2:10: As of 2017 (when I left Google), there were three main engineering tracks: software, hardware, and mechanical. The distinction between them can be a bit blurry. For example, my entire job was dedicated to writing motor and flight control firmware, but I was classified as a mechanical engineer for some reason. However, the London office was (and still is?) almost entirely dedicated towards AI research, so almost everyone you were talking to probably was a SWE.

[@ssj4stone269]

I realized a trick. I always find it hard to memorize any games but after he explained everything he did in a step by step basis, it's actually easier. It's never hard to remember the blunders you found or the good moves you found in a position. For example, he explained the rook and knight/bishop endgame with a pawn up as a step. There is a basic way to do it. following this, you can rethink what you thought was good and where your opponent messed up all while checking if any move looks familiar or not. Now how he remembered it long enough while playing 2 more, that's just crazy. But levy also plays blindfolded too so it makes sense.

[@RaidenDisNots]

I too realised a trick. I always find it hard to memorise the locations of any bodies I hide but after he explained everything he did in a step by step basis, its actually easier. It's never hard to remember the bodies you killed or the good moves you found against the government police. For example, he explained the best ways to wipe down a murder scene to hide evidence of the murder. There is a basic way to do it. following this, you can rethink what you thought was good and where the victim messed up all while checking if any grief the family experiences moves me or not. Now how he remembered it long enough while murdering 2 more, that's just crazy. But levy also murders grandmas too so it makes sense.
