What would happen if Bobby Fischer played Magnus Carlsen in a chess match? I asked, and ChatGPT answered and gave me the following simulated match between the two former world champions. Let’s get into the match.
Voila, here it is! Let’s see what happens in the first 10 moves of this game. It’s going to be the Sicilian Defense, a well-known and loved opening. After this match, I actually do know it.
The first nine book moves in the Nidorf. That pawn is being attacked, so you want to defend it and develop the knight at the same time. Are we going to castle? What’s black going to do? Attack the knight or retreat over to B3? It’s important not to block the development of any of your pawns or your bishop and queen on the other side of the board. So, castling is the safe move to make. Magnus makes the 10th book move, pushing that pawn all the way to F4, and Bobby develops a knight. Interesting, what’s going to happen next?
Okay, so we have the development. Let me blitz some moves. The first trade is a queen trade. This move says a lot about the game. What’s going to happen next? Now Bobby is infiltrating. Keep it coming, buddy. Bring that bishop in. Look at the advantage in Bobby’s favor. Great move! Now there’s going to be some trades happening. Just beautiful vision from Bobby Fischer.
What’s going to happen next? Oh, great move! Now you threaten the knight. That’s fine. There are plenty of places to go. ChatGPT, you just did Bobby Fischer dirty. You’re going to tell me that the bishop is over there on H4 and can be taken, but you’re going to tell me that Bobby Fischer ain’t gonna move that knight? Come on!
Now the rest of the match, I would assume, is just going to be Magnus Carlsen taking the black pawns, pawn after pawn. And it looks like that is going to happen. Look at the eval bar. Pawn after pawn after pawn. There’s no chance for the black side. That king’s marching all the way down, and these pawns are going to be taken. That’s dirty. Oh man, typical Magnus. Take that here, go here, all the way up. Magnus is going to convert this endgame into a win. Of course, there’s going to be some misses involved. Right, that’s a miss. Here’s another miss. I mean, what else do you want but to promote? So, there you have it. According to ChatGPT, Magnus Carlsen is the better player.
