I can only calculate to blunder my queen.

[shahrock]

I calculate 3 or 4 branches for 2-3 moves deep. Then get tired that nothing works and play a completely new move that I didn't even calculate 😂😂😂

[ahmetyahya]

You couldn't see forced mate in 371 moves?

How disappointing.

[fedkarphitchamer]

That’s not just a grandmaster. That’s the five time world champion, son.

For people saying he is lying, GMs sometime spend more than an hour thinking about their move in classical chess.

Between kasparov and magnus was vishy, yet this dude never gets the respect that kasparov and magnus gets. Give this man his due!

[Chess-pleasure]

50 to 70 Move 😦 that's why he is 5 times world champion

Vishy explaining like a smart professor

[LokeshBhatija]

Bro, he literally explained an algorithm

[master]

Just in case anyone is confused, he means reasonable responses. When players calculate, they don't take into account if the opponent is going to blunder and lose their queen on the next move. They don't need to calculate that because they would just take it and win from there.

Basically, if he knows there is only one response from his opponent that doesn't lose them the game, he can assume they will play that. If that continues to be the case for several moves, he can just keep playing the game out in his head.

The "denser tree" is when the opponent has a lot of reasonable responses so he would have to calculate them all including all of his reasonable responses to them. This could be the difference between being able to play out 20+ moves in your head or like 5.

Noob to Mid Chess players here are ridiculing him like he isn't the 5 time world champion. When he's referring to the number of moves it's not literally for every situation, like he said for a tree with very few branches or no branches he can think of over 50 possible moves and sometimes the tree is dense and he can think of maybe 5 moves, doesn't mean he's doing 50-70 moves at all times.

Kasperov had defeated the first version of the "Deep Blue", then they added more processors and memory chips when the computer could then defeat Gary Kasperov. So, it can be said that most people don't know how Chess player's mind works.

[loui]

People here clearly don't understand what he means by calculating 50-70 moves

[josiahemhof]

Vishy is a gift to the chess community

[connmand]

Vishy explains this so well. He was a brilliant calculator.

[pt]

Reason why Anand is considered one of the greatest of all time.

[JaredGoofball]

When he said 50-70. He meant that he can calculate any number of moves in a position. He didn’t mean he always does that

[hifumiVAL]

I was thinking this question was bad but the answer he gave was so good, he nailed it

[royanque]

short answer: "all of it"

-Chuck Norris

People doubting him are the same people who says the ancient buildings are built using advanced technology.
