Very cool that you played Magnus. Congrats!

Hikaru's reaction is like a girl when you cum after 3 pumps

I expect that real elo rating is harder to maintain than beating a bot. I am slowly working my way up to 2000-rated bots. 3 weeks ago I was struggling against 1500 rated bots. Now 1700 is pretty comfortable. Once I can beat 2000-rated bots then I will be ready to play some humans. When the bot uprising comes, they will eat me last.

You

I don't know about hours. I played like 30 Fischer games in the last month. Otherwise I haven't played chess in 20 years. Here's my question to you guys: If someone is rated say 1700, what percent of the time can they beat a 1700 rated bot? Is it more like 90% of the time or more like 50%? I assume that if equal rated players play each other then they should be winning 50% of the time, yay or nay? Take a number.

There's not going to be a collapse. And if there is, that is still a more realistic path than Game B. If you think humanity needs Game B to survive, then we're already dead. Game B will not save mankind because no one is capable of it. You might as well say that unicorns will save mankind from extinction.

Massive neural connection, bruh.

You guys take chess way to seriously. I put more thought into jerking off than chess.

Nothing Schmachtenberger talks about will be implemented in the real world. It's all fancy mental masturbation. There will not be Game B, only Game A. The solution to all social issues will be resolved through Game A survival. Many people will suffer and die, and THAT is how things actually get solved. Not through podcasts, philosophy, Integral theory, or hippie activism.

I have not achieved anything in chess. I just played a few games for fun.

False. I watch him not do that frequently.

Everyone in the world who's worldclass at anything is that way only due to perfect genetic fit AND insane work. It's always both. If you only have one or the other you will not be worldclass.

Every time I watch Hikaru stream he's winging everything. To say he's calculating is absurd.

I don't know.

You just gotta drop classical and play Fischer Random. Solves all those problems. Endgames are fun. I like endgames because there's less pieces to calculate and there's interesting opportunities for upsets. Classical chess just needs to be retired at this point. How many times can you keep beating the same dead horse? Or at least switch to Duck Chess.

Yes, I know. It's unfortunate. I wish bots were smarter at sucking.

Does not make sense. Hikaru is better at blitz than classical. His blitz games clearly don't give him time to do much formal calculation. Hikaru is very intuitive. And Magnus must do very deep calculating to win his classic games.

Insanity will be much less coherent than sanity so therefore it would be harder for a stable ego to exist there. Like, in your nightly dreams, there's not much ego there because things are too loose for an ego to operate. This is just incorrect use of words. Almost nobody understands what sanity/insanity are so when people speak of thing as "insane" they just speaking in colloquial gibberish. They are not talking about actual insanity. Ego is not insanity, ego is sanity. Even the most egotistical person like Trump or Musk is sane. Death is a release from sanity. As I said, sanity is just an island in a larger ocean of consciousness. Death is a release into an infinite ocean. Birth is confinement into sanity. Sanity is like a mental prison. I don't understand the conflict.

Eventually your rating will max out based on your memory, visualization ability, and calculation ability. But of course training can go a long way.

@Daniel Balan I watch a lot of Hikaru, Agadmator, and Gotham. Agadmator does my fave classical chess analysis. Hikaru and Gotham are more for fun.

My focus is not great. My mind is not good at doing long calculations. But I can be fully immersed in a game of chess for 2hrs. Magnus is a genetic freak. His memory is insanely exceptional. No normal human has that kind of memory. Basically all the chess GMs have insane genetic memory because you could not be in the top 100 without it. Chess is a good example of how much genetics matter. You will never be a super-GM through hard work alone. You need worldclass memory and visualization ability. Not all brains are wired for that. The reason Magnus is the GOAT is because he is a genetic freak whose freakishness is perfectly suited for chess. That's why no one can reach his level no matter how hard or long they study. The only one who will best him is an even bigger freak.

Once I train up some more I could play some matches against you guys.

I don't know what is normal. Keep in mind I don't have an official rating. All I can tell you is I can beat a 1600-rated bot more than 50% of the time if I focus. And I am improving. I have to really focus to win. If I slack off I make bad blunders. I don't play rapid games as I would be really bad at that. My games usually last 1-2hrs. After all my consciousness work, learning anything is a lot easier for me. I sorta grok how a whole system functions. The downside is that few things are worth learning, my motivation to learn anything thoroughly is very low since I don't see meaning in it.

This: But watching a video will never get you deep enough to properly awaken. That requires psychedelics.

I'm not good. I didn't train. The only chess I played was in teenage years. I only started playing Fischer Random a month ago. But I do like watching chess videos of classical games for fun. Keep in mind I don't post my losing games. I only post my most interesting victories. I am not too talented at it. My calculation ability is quite slow and rusty. My memory for chess is very poor. But I am pretty good at seeing large patterns. I can be clever.
