Magnus Carlsen Checkmates Bill Gates in just 12 seconds

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.

[r.g.s.]

Magnus: Moves a piece
Audience: "Funniest shit I've seen in my life."

[Shasaur]

"I'd usually last longer I think" we feel you Bill

[Gambler_]

Bill was finding "undo" button

[Taterzz]

clearly he's out of his depth here. we all know gates' game is actually monopoly.

[dustinplatt]

Bill: _loses in 12 seconds of chess time_

Also Bill: _i just made $15, 200 just sitting here... I'll be ok_

I am dying inside cause I predicted every single move of Bill, start to end. And now I feel like I have lost to Magnus in 12 seconds 🤡🤡

[diegoborges]

Very polite of Magnus to keep staring at the board while Bill is thinking about his move. As if he actually needed to.

My boy had the game finished in his head before it even started. Amazingly talented

[kuchbhikahinbhi]

Respect for Bill Gates for playing his natural game and not trying anything fancy with the GOAT.

I like how bill moved his knight to allow the checkmate. Beautiful

I don't think we truly appreciate how good people at the highest level of competition are at their craft until they go up against normies. Whether it be sports, video games, board games, art, you name it. I think one of the best examples of this is the Schallenge, for those who don't know, this is where Brian Scalabrine, who was a marginal player in the NBA and is long since retired, plays regular people who call him out to a game of 1 on 1 and he destroys them every time. He has one of the best all time quotes..."Yeah I sucked as a player in the NBA, but I'm still closer to Lebron then you are to me."

[pencrows]

The audience really does make chess seem like late night television.

[olegdjakonu]

Its almost impossible to guess how many combinations this guys has in his mind, even for Bill

[clikzip]

“I usually last longer”. Spoken by every man in human history.

[harshmotwani]

*Sees Queen on the h file*
*Immediately castles king side*

[AryaM]

We are laughing at Bill's chess, he is laughing at our bank balance...💀

[The_Rock_That_Floats]

I like that he didn’t hide his strategy at all and it still worked😅
