[@evanstowers8529]

The societies create a lot of distraction and misrepresentation of the motives of those around you. The societies themselves are actually quite a small % of the population and they've mastered the art of psychological manipulation of masses of people without much work on their part...I wasted years suspecting every other person or so.

The only problem with the time difference is that if you do choose to use your time wisely the opponent can think on your clock and so you have to think fast yourself.

[@mooncalf_4534]

That's why you have to tactically blunder every move, so that all their extra thinking time is wasted: 200IQ

I bet Maurice always play chess listening to GZA's Grandmasters album.

[@0-Elias-0]

GZA is really good; a lot better than that 1600 rating they defaulted him to.

[@w4rl0rd93]

Fact the Gza has 10 mins and each one of moves barley took 10 seconds is just something to be complicated against a GM

[@MrDavecr7]

Love this. Who knew chess could be so exciting we need to see more of these.

[@E1337N3SS]

GZA played so fast that it was basically a blitz game, and he was keeping pace extremely well! After he dealt with the first queen side attack, I think he had great chances to win on time if he had slowed down a little bit.

[@bingbongshamalama]

I'm sitting here eating maltesars and I see Maurice Ashley's head and I can't stop laughing bro

[@Hooper22]

@5:00 Gza could have moved up with his rook amd put Maruice in checkcand took his Rook. Gameover

[@0-Elias-0]

5:26 | Queen to G4 | Checkmate I guess even GMs make big mistakes

[@ujustgotpwned2008]

I think he saw the mate but wanted to take all of the pieces first lol

[@jacobhgh5191]

when GZA had 3 pawns left and his king was on h4, Maurice could have check mated him by moving his queen to g4, instead he started eating GZA's pawns.

I love how chess was always a part of the Wu... I know I couldn't beat a GM like Maurice, great game!!!

[@thailee470]

Why did yall wait so late for this, this was suppose to be made years ago!?!?!?

[@Fray2221]

Big Wu Tang fan. I would have never fucking believed that GZA could actually take on a grandmaster of chess. Now lets see him fly to China and take on some Wu-Tang Monks.

[@lillegitimate]

5:00 rg5+

[@plantefar1255]

If GZA had used a bit more time, I believe he could have won that

[@fthazza]

Yeah he definitely would have because he would have spotted the move to take the rook with check at 4:59 and could have easily won the endgame, especially with Maurice having such little time to consider moves

[@CyrilAndPriscilla]

@@fthazza How could have taken the rook with a check at 4:59? I don't see it.

[@fthazza]

@@CyrilAndPriscilla If GZA plays rook to g5 it puts Maurice in Check and he has to move his king, at which point Gza plays Rook to b5 and captures the rook

[@ainsbass]

4:59 could have won the rook :(

[@felixwtoro]

YES! Why isn't the top comment? GZA came really close to winning this!

[@CyrilAndPriscilla]

How could he have won the rook at 4:59? I don't see it.

[@CyrilAndPriscilla]

Oh, you mean at 5:01

[@ainsbass]

@@CyrilAndPriscilla no I think you’ve missed it. Maurice pushes d6 at 4:59, GZA should then play rook to g5 to check the king and win the rook, but GZA misses this and plays rook d2 at 5:00. By 5:01 white has already played another move (rook d5) and the position is long gone. When Maurice plays d6 you can see the eval bar suddenly go to blacks favour.

[@LauncherSpiderMk7]

I don't know why GZA was rushing his moves so much. He had more than enough time to think. Maurice was rushing out of necessity.

[@joedorben3504]

All the time GZA spends thinking is time that Maurice has to think and can use to come up with better moves. If they both spend one minute then Maurice loses, if he spends 5 minutes then Maurice can figure out how to get a more comfortable position or how play better technically

[@LauncherSpiderMk7]

@@joedorben3504 Sure, but towards the end, GZA was just throwing out panicked moves. He still had over 7 minutes left when he lost. It wouldn't have hurt him to take at least 10 seconds to think over his next move. Having more time to think than the GM is the whole point of this challenge.
