Battle Chess was a brilliant 1988 game by Interplay Entertainment that revolutionized chess gaming. Pieces animate vividly on the board, exploding into hilarious, brutal combat sequences during captures. So, instead of the (many) rather dry and standard chess games that existed, Battle Chess took the more playful path. For a while, I tried all the different battle animations, sacrificing pieces , just to see how they would perish. All jokes aside, it got me into chess more than anything else. Did you play it back in the day?

You don't get to meet Magnus Carlsen. 600 million people play chess. Almost none of them get within a board of the best who ever played. On Tuesday, we changed that. We put Magnus on a stage in Hong Kong and opened the International Chess Federation World Team Championships. > 24 players & one Chessnut Official AI across the board from him in the simul > 4 legendary challengers who earned their shot through the Anichess bracket > A few hundred in the room, the rest watching live and exclusive on OpenSea Some of them grew up watching this guy win world titles. On Tuesday they played him. The day had opened hours earlier: Magnus and Yat Siu chairman and co-founder of Animoca Brands on stage discussing the future, Nemo & Chev | Jesus is Lord | Anichess running the room. That is what Anichess does. We bring the Magic. One room in Hong Kong, the whole chess world looking at it. That was us. Thank you to everyone who showed up.

Played a quick game with Daniel Negreanu (Daniel Negreanu) before the podcast. Wild how fast someone at his level can read you. We spoke about how people behave when the stakes rise, what pressure does to decision-making, how influence works at a table, and physical cues. Also got into failure, long losing stretches, early life, Vegas, reading people, chess vs poker and poker math. Very few people think this cleanly about competition and human behaviour. Timestamps below. 00:00 - Daniel's Feedback on my Game 02:56 - How to Read Body Language 05:23 - What Makes Daniel Great 11:55 - How to Influence Someone 15:17 - Dealing with Failures 18:47 - Lessons from the Game 22:44 - Poker vs Chess 26:42 - What Creates Charisma 36:02 - Thinking Under Pressure 40:52 - Daniel’s Early Life 46:36 - What Losing Teaches 50:26 - How Has Poker Changed 59:21 - High Stakes = Better Game 01:01:35 - Reading People & Poker Math 01:05:01 - Dealing with Jealousy 01:12:10 - What He Learned from His Woman 01:15:47 - Private Games in Vegas 01:22:23 - Questions for me

How do you take one of humanity's oldest games - a game long stigmatized as difficult to learn, even harder to master, and mostly played by introverted nerds - and turn it into a fun, hugely successful computer game for the masses? Enter Battle Chess. Yes, you still had to know (or learn) the rules to actually play. But let's be honest: it's far more enjoyable to learn while playing - and even losing - when you watch your queen dramatically devoured by an enemy rook, or your king comically flattened under its fist. Each encounter had its own animation, beautifully done. Obviously, there's no hard data on how many kids and teens in the 80s and early 90s first got hooked on chess thanks to this wonderful game. But I know I was one of them. Battle Chess sparked my interest, led me to join a chess club in 1989, play in a few tournaments (I never won), and still enjoy the game today. I'd like to believe I wasn't the only one. I often feel that pre-2000 games had a bigger positive impact on us than many modern (mobile) games do on kids today. I'm not claiming all current games are worthless - far from it - but I'll stand firm on this hill: older titles sometimes delivered real educational value without players ever feeling like they were being "taught" something. Battle Chess was exactly that kind of game.

Andrew Stanton is the director of Toy Story 5. He was Pixar's 2nd animator, and also directed WALL-E and Finding Nemo, which both won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. My favorite lesson from the episode is how he boils his films down to one sentence. For Nemo, it was: "Fear denies a good father from being one." For WALL-E: "Irrational love defeats life's programming." He also shared stories about Pixar's brain trust, developing characters like Nemo and Woody, and what it was like to work with Steve Jobs.

We recognize that true change requires consistency and dedication ✊🏽 That’s why we’re proud to share our continued commitment to gender equality in chess as we head into 2025! Following the success of our groundbreaking 2024 edition, the Norway Chess Women tournament will return alongside the main event—with an equal prize fund 🤵🏽‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️. 💬 Benedicte Westre Skog emphasizes the importance of keeping this commitment strong: “For us, having a women’s tournament isn’t just a one-time thing. We don’t want a ‘historic women’s tournament with equal prize money’ and then it’s gone the next year. It’s crucial for us to ensure that this happens again.” Who do you want to see in this amazing female lineup? Write in the comments 👇 #NorwayChess #NorwayChessWomen

🧵06/34 Narrow vs General AI --- At first glance, this AGI being generally capable in multiple domains looks like a group of many narrow AIs combined, but that is not a correct way to think about it. It is actually more like… a species, a new life form. To illustrate the point, we’ll compare the general AGI of the near future with a currently existing narrow AI that is optimised at playing chess. Both of them are able to comfortably win a game of chess against any human on earth, every time. And both of them win by making plans and setting goals. The main goal is to achieve checkmate. This is the final destination or otherwise called Terminal Goal. In order to get there though it needs to work on smaller problems, what the AI research geeks call instrumental goals. For example: • attack and capture the opponent’s pieces • defend my pieces • strategically dominate the cetre (etc..) All these instrumental goals have something in common: they only make sense in its narrow world of chess. If you place this Narrow Chess AI behind the wheel of a car, it will simply crash, as it can not work on goals unrelated to chess, like driving. Its model doesn’t have a concept for space, time or movement for that matter. In contrast the AGI by design has no limit on what problems it can work on. So when it tries to figure out a solution to a main problem, the sub-problems it chooses to work on can be anything... literally any path out of the infinite possibilities allowed within the laws of physics and nature.

For further clarification, here is Putin's response to Trump's invitation to the Board of Peace: "Therefore, already now, even before we decide on the issue of participation in the membership and the work of the Peace Council itself, taking into account Russia’s special relations with the Palestinian people, we could, I believe, transfer one billion U.S. dollars to the Peace Council from Russian assets frozen under the previous U.S. administration." This is how you actually play 5D chess btw.

Top 100 of 80s games or not? Personally, I think Archon (1983 by Free Fall Associates) is still one of the best and most unique games ever made. And above all, even 40+ years later it still has an incredibly high (re)playability level. Sure, the graphics and sound could be better - but the concept is timeless. I have no doubt it will still be remembered (and played) in 10, 20, maybe even 50 years from now. What made Archon special was - among other things - the mix chess-like strategic board play and real-time arcade combat in a way that felt revolutionary for its era. While pure chess games existed, none had taken them to the next level and mixed in action sequences like Archon did. As a result it probably attracted a lot more gamers than a pure chess game ever would have. The board features three types of squares: permanent light, permanent dark, and "changing" squares that switch between different shades (from bright to dark, including greens). Your unit's strength (hit points, damage, etc.) gets a boost when standing on a square matching its side's alignment during combat. Timing and tactics mattered to take full advantage of this feature. Also different from traditional chess were the win conditions: you had to eliminate all enemy units, or control the five special "power points" on the board. But the real kicker were the units that you controlled (or fought against). Unlike chess, white and black had asymmetrical units with distinct movement speeds/ranges, hit points, attack styles (projectiles, area effects, flight, etc.), and special powers. One of the best 2-player games ever for 8-bit systems back in the day. I always felt it would be a great project for a modern remake.

Your unit's strength (hit points, damage, etc.) gets a boost when standing on a square matching its side's alignment during combat. Timing and tactics mattered to take full advantage of this feature. Also different from traditional chess were the win conditions: you had to eliminate all enemy units, or control the five special "power points" on the board. But the real kicker were the units that you controlled (or fought against). Unlike chess, white and black had asymmetrical units with distinct movement speeds/ranges, hit points, attack styles (projectiles, area effects, flight, etc.), and special powers. One of the best 2-player games ever for 8-bit systems back in the day. I always felt it would be a great project for a modern remake.

.David Deutsch: "What's currently called AI and AGI are not only different from each other, they are very close to being the exact opposites of each other. The reason is that an AI, current AI is like an AI that diagnoses diseases or an AI that plays chess or an AI that controls a huge factory. Those things have objective functions, that is they have a function that they are designed to maximize and that is why they are used in those particular applications. Or in military terms, you could say the objective is to hit the target. You might say the objective is to hit the target unless some thing specified, but it's a specified thing comes up in which case don't hit the target and so on. This is, as I said, almost the opposite of what humans do when humans think. For a start, the AI has to be obedient, that is it has to actually do the things it is programmed to do, whereas a human is fundamentally disobedient, especially when being creative. When a human plays chess, they are performing a completely different kind of computation. They don't do the same things, they don't investigate the same possibilities that the artificial chess playing machine does, because the artificial one is capable of looking at billions and billions of possibilities, whereas the human can only look at hundreds or something. They are doing something completely different. Another difference is that the human can explain, can write a book later, having become world champion, can write a book saying how I did it, as the computer program that beats the world champion can write no such book, because it has no idea how it did it. It was just following a program. I was doing this and that and that and none of that is illuminating. Also, third thing, the chess player can decide I don't want to play chess anymore, from now on I will play Go or from now on I will play tennis. If commanded to play chess, the functionality will deteriorate completely. Those things are different. What we want in an AGI is that it behaves in a way that cannot be specified in advance, because if you specified it, you would already have the answer. The AGI program has to give unexpected answers, answers to questions we didn't even know how to ask."
