In a remarkable display of collective decision-making, chess grandmaster Magnus Carlsen faced off against 143,000 players in a single game. The crowd voted on each move, resulting in a draw. Carlsen, who became the world’s top-ranked player at age 19 in 2010, has won five World Championships. He achieved the highest-ever chess rating of 2882 in 2014 and has maintained his position as the world’s No. 1 player for over a decade. Carlsen praised the crowd’s strategy, noting that they played “very, very sound chess” and opted for a more conservative approach. He reflected on the concept of the wisdom of crowds, suggesting that while he felt crowds had become less wise over time, this match might indicate a resurgence of collective intelligence.

In a world were arrogance & sledging are considered winning traits

Jun 4 The world’s strongest chess player, Magnus Carlsen, lost a game to the Indian Gukesh and lost his temper.
Carlsen won the first game, but he gave the second to the current world champion, Gukesh. After the match, he could barely contain himself, but he still shook his opponent.

Jun 2 Magnus Carlsen smashed the table for this move in the end. And he underestimated the power of a knight over the connected pawns.
Those who saw the game can understand his aggravation. It was not against Gukesh.

Jun 2 In #Chess, at Grandmaster level, mental composure and calmness are paramount. They all have skills and techniques. The one who is playing with 100% mindfulness about the game and ONLY the game wins.

14h Magnus is sustaining as so called “superior” in chess only because
@GMHikaru
or players like Caruana keeps simping over him and that always gave this guy a psychological advantage.
In case of Indian players like Gukesh or Pragg, they respect Carlsen but they don’t want to

Jun 3 Magnus Carlsen-the former World Champion-questioned his style, his speed, his substance.
D. Gukesh, the new king of classical chess, didn’t just win a title-he silenced a legacy.
Stay humble or get humbled.
