    "Here let me show you like 25 possible outcomes from this point in the game." He does so in the same amount of time it takes me to decide which pawn I should move in the opening.

      Number 1 Kasparov has natural talent for the game. Number 2 Kasparov has most likely devoted a significantly larger amount of time to chess than you, if I were to take a guess I'd say you are an occasional chess player. Number 3 This game was part of the Kasparov-Karpov match for the World Title, so he probably spent a good deal of time mulling over each possible move and combination before going for it. So my point is that you shouldn't feel like an idiot in view of the fact Kasparov is the exception and not the rule.

      Not trying to flatter anyone. Simply pointing out that he rapidly shows a number of outcomes in the same amount of time it takes me to decide my opening move as I originally stated; i.e. he's a lot better at chess than I am. Whether or not it's normal for him is irrelevant as it's not normal for me.

    • @CodeX00Z

      ​@@manuman5319 In the end, intuition in chess cames down to pattern recognition. You saw many different positions many times, and u know what positions should be winning for u and just play a move based on that. Often, there is no need to ACTUALLY calculate, which is actually see what are gonna be the next possible moves and lines that derive from your candidate move. If you always calculated every single move you do on the board with a good depth of maybe 10 moves ahead, you would be an engine. It's very tiring to calculate with a good precision, and therefore no human can do it ALWAYS, for long periods of time. And let's not forget that we often make mistakes or miss something on the spot, and that time management on a match is a big factor too.
      Often times when you play chess, you just think "I think this is a fine move, let me see if there is an immidiate threath... Uh... Yea, seems good, let's do it." This feeling is much more accurate and much more profound at GM level, and even greater at Super GM level. Kasparov was a beast at many things on the board, and his "intuition" is one of the most remarkable things about him. More than World Champion, Garry is chess legend - there is no discussion about that.

    I don't think no one had ever so much technical understanding of Chess as Kasparov. Bobby Fischer and Carlsen are genius and sometimes it comes natural to them, but Kasparov literally understood upside down the probabilities and tactics of every single move made on the board. Even Carlsen once said that he could not explain how he knew, but he just knew what to do, while Gary not only knows, he knows why and that's what differentiates him from everyone.

      I had the same opinion when I first saw this some years ago. But after studying chess everyday, it is not as remarkable as it appears. Gary also said, “I found some of these later.” Clearly he looked at this for a long while before the interview. Chess players also use technical memorization tricks like chunking and retrograde analysis. Check out GM Maurice Ashley’s Ted Talk on the subject. I never thought I could do this. Now I have several games committed to memory and I’m 46. In summation, you def can do this with some effort.

All I was trying to do was to encourage those who watch this who don’t study chess and will be scared off the game completely or from trying to get better because to the untrained eye, this looks super human when, after you get a coach and study a single position or game for a period of time, these calculations don’t seem impossible. Most 2000s I know have dozens of games memorized. I’m not a d bag. But thanks for the encouragement.

In Yasser Seirawan words:
    "All that Spassky could say was yes, of course, yes, of course, while Gary analyzed his game with absolute mastery. After that hour watching him....Jan, Ljubo and me reuturned to the hotel in complete silence, still absorted by this incredible talent"

      [*] Although one bishop is fully capable of molesting thousands of choirboys in just one year, I'd used the cardinal number "five" to avoid scaring children. Another reason was because Father McKenzie, for instance, was only proven to _molest_ seven choirboys in his lifetime; after that, he began brutally raping them instead.

Magnus Carlsen has memorized over 10,000 Grand master tournament chess games, and can recall a particular position or middle game position on a particular board. Amazing!!!
