One of the questions I get asked the most is, what would be required for you to win against
the highest rated chess player on earth, Magnus Carlsen? Now, I've never known, okay? Like,
I think that if I played a thousand games against Magnus, I would lose the thousand of them.
And I don't even know if there's any kind of odds that make me win against them. It feels
completely impossible to win against Magnus Carlsen. But today, I'm going to be playing
against the Magnus Carlsen chess bot, and I'm going to see if I'm able to beat him if I have
two queens. Now, for reference, my chess rating is like 2100. So I'm not a bad player, but I'm
nowhere near close to becoming a grandmaster, nor am I close to be able to win against the
strongest player on earth. So I'm hoping that the bot is a little bit weaker than he is,
but I have no idea. So let's go ahead and test this out. Here we have my starting position.
I have two queens. I decided to trade off my knight for a queen. I don't know if I should
have added this upon. I don't know. But this should be enough, right? It should be enough.
I think I should be able to win, but I have no clue. So his bot rating is 2882. So I don't even
know what the tactics are. Like, should I activate my queen early on? I don't know. Okay,
so I'm gonna go knight over here. Oh, e5. Okay, you know what? I think it's good for me to trade.
Like, I'm not afraid of trading. I think I'll just go e3. You know, I'm happy with trading. Oh,
easy! Are you kidding me? Easy, easy, easy. Okay, this is way easier than I thought it was
gonna be. Okay, this I should definitely be able to win, I think. Should definitely be able to win
this, I think. Right, right? Okay, I'm hoping so. Um, I need to get my queen out of here. It does
feel a bit stuck, which is honestly not what I want, but I guess it's fine. Where should I go?
Should I push here? Here? I could also just go g. I'm just gonna go g3. Oh, that was annoying.
Wait, that was really annoying. Maybe I'll just go f3. Okay, I'm just gonna castle, whatever.
Takes and takes. My opponent doesn't have enough pieces to win. I'm just gonna trade everything.
The more I trade, the better it will be for me. Okay, and I'm gonna trap this one.
Yeah, you've got nothing! You've got nothing! Okay, I'll take... I don't care about that, I think.
Oy! Okay, I was about to make a really big blunder. We are not gonna do that. We are not gonna do that.
My queen definitely is a bit off. You know, it shouldn't be there, but that's all right, I suppose.
That's all right. That's all right. I'm a little worried. Oh, what are these fancy moves, by the way?
Okay, why did my opponent not just take that? I don't get that. I feel like I can just take this.
And now I should probably go queen here. And now I just need to get my pieces together.
I'll go bishop here. Okay, I need to not blunder this, of course, but that should be achievable.
And I can probably go queen here. I'll take with the rook just to keep everything defended. Oh,
now this is easy winning. I've kept saying this, but I think I can even activate my rook.
Yeah, and I'll take there and probably just go queen d3. That should be enough. And then I'll
just go here and rook there, and we'll just trade everything off. And then I'll just go queen here.
Okay, okay, I'm winning against the Magnus Carlsen bot. That is all I know. I don't even
care about these pawns. I don't, right? No. Take. And take. And check. And wait.
And check. And mate! Yay! Okay, so with an extra queen, I am able to beat the Magnus Carlsen bot.
Well, everybody, this was easier than I thought, honestly. I don't know if I would be able to win
against the real Magnus Carlsen with these odds, but I guess the Magnus Carlsen bot I am able to.
Should I make a video where I try to beat him with just an extra rook or something? What do you think?
What do you think would be kind of fair odds? Because this was way easier than I thought. I
really thought I was going to struggle, but I didn't struggle. So let me know in the comments
what you think would be good odds for this to be more equal. And yeah, try it out for yourself.
Can you beat the Magnus Carlsen bot with an extra queen?
