New Delhi: Chess legend Magnus Carlsen, having already dominated the over-the-board chess world with five classical world championships and a top global ranking in both Rapid and Blitz formats, is now turning his attention to facing Artificial Intelligence (AI) challenges.
The Norwegian recently took on OpenAI's conversational AI, ChatGPT, in a chess game, securing a decisive victory without losing a single piece.
Carlsen forced the AI to resign after 53 moves.
Sharing screenshots of his triumph, Carlsen quipped, "I sometimes get bored while travelling." The images show ChatGPT acknowledging its defeat, stating, "All my pawns are gone. You haven’t lost a single piece. You fulfilled your win condition perfectly… As agreed, I resign. That was methodical, clean and sharp.”
Carlsen also offered constructive criticism to the AI, messaging, "I think you played really well in the opening, made an interesting piece sac, but failed to follow it up correctly."
