The REAL Difference Between Grandmasters In Chess

In this video my mom GM Pia Cramling and my dad Juan Manuel Bellon Lopez played out the exact same position to show people the difference between how grandmasters think in chess depending on their style. The position was from a Magnus Carlsen game. Hope you enjoy :)

I liked how your father was so much more imulsive while your mother was calculating every move. Very nice video and I love the chemistry between you and your parents. subbed Edit: I feel like a total tool but why does the engine offer a draw when there's only on white king while there's a king, a queen, a knight and several pawns for black?

@RoseColoredIris Жыл бұрын

I was confused the first time it happened to me too. It's because white has no legal move. You are not allowed to move your king into check. So Juan put his king into a position that would result in a check if it moved and then forced the engine to take his last two pieces. Thus resulting in a stalemate.

@StCreed 4 ай бұрын

In chess the rule is that if you don't have a legal move left (or only repeating ones) you draw. Anna's dad basically put himself in a position where had no legal moves so it was an automatic draw.
