Welcome to the world of adult chess
Butt it's not what you think
No, don't ask me where you can buy this. No idea. |
Oh boy, where do I begin. Let's talk about Elon Musk later. Couple of years back I wrote about how the game of chess comes with free irony. It still does. More than ever.
Competitive chess is even more boring than it sounds. And no the word boring has nothing to do with Elon Musk and his Boring company. Something with holes? Perhaps, butt we'll leave that for later. Magnus Carlsen is one of the best chess players in the world. In tennis he would be Serena Williams, Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal. OK I'm kidding, chess is simply not my thing. Carlsen has the highest FIDE rating - your chess IQ - ever. There is no doubt he is much, much smarter than Elon M. My guess his mathematical intellect is on par with that of female African-American mathematicians Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson without whom there probably still wouldn't be a man on the moon.
