  • Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, billionaire and philantropist, faced off against the World Chess Champion - Magnus Carlsen during the talkshow “Skavlan” in 2014, recorded in a studio in London. Carlsen started with 30 seconds on his clock, and Gates with 2 minutes - by the time he’d win the game, Carlsen would only up 12 of those seconds!

    For those who are wondering, the "12 seconds" refer to the total time it took Magnus to make all of his own moves according to the chess clock. Gate's moves are counted separately. That's why it's "12 seconds" despite the video being over a minute.

This was said, of course, before top players were making millions of dollars or before anyone was making any money at all from chess outside of gambling, but it just goes to show that it takes a lot of time and dedication to be good at chess, something Bill Gates obviously isn't interested in, it's not just about smarts.

      The knight queen mate is something children learn early in their chess careers.

      Gates probably should have moved the pawn on the king's side and then moved his Bishop to the long diagonal.

      I have played a full game of chess exactly four times. It interests me, just never really played or cared to become good. Dunno why. Magnus is the man.

    Other than Bill Gates blundering the last 2-3 moves, he honestly played a lot better than I expected. When the video said he checkmated him in 12 seconds, I thought oh he prolly got him with the scholar's mate (4 move checkmate) But he honestly opened and developed pretty well for some one who likely doesn't play chess too often.
