Can This Chess Board Help IM Anna Rudolf Beat A Grandmaster?

That's it. That's ridiculous. A lot of people fall for that. I would have taken. Hi, everyone. I'm International Master Anna Rudolf, and I'm here with Grandmaster Amon Hambleton to play a really fun challenge on a chess-up board. Amon, you're a Grandmaster, and I'm a retired IM, so I'm going to actually use this board to have the advantage. If I'm touching a piece, it's going to show me whether it's a good move, a bad move, or a decent move. OK, OK. This seems like a good move. Oh, it just automatically... Yeah, I don't even need to press the clock. This is amazing. Let me play an inaccurate move... Wow. ...according to the chess-up board. Wait, so it's telling you whether it's a good move? Is that allowed? Are you cheating, too? Oh, oh. I thought that you have some assistance, too. That would not be fair. I mean, I'll take it. No. I'm sure. You don't need that, Amon. Oh, gosh, no, I hate this thing. I've just remembered how does this work. Like, my pawn is hanging, everything is going weird. OK, yeah. Stop attacking my pawn. What has he done to you? The problem is that I think I've played this line before and I've had this position, but I haven't had it against someone who would know what the good moves are. So I'm actually regretting this as I'm playing it. What if I touch this? Oh, taking is not a good idea. So what's a good idea? It's ridiculous. That's it. It's ridiculous. A lot of people fall for that. I would have taken. OK, surely it's pawn, right? It's pawn takes. You didn't check the bishop. You should check the bishop next time. Spend some more time. No. But is that even better, by the way? I know you want to flag me, but I'm just like, I'm going to go sometimes in my intuition, sometimes with the magic of this board. Here? What? Yeah, that's actually... OK, the board's waiting for me now. Because I don't understand that move either. I don't understand it either. What's... Oh! What if it tells me a move I have no idea about? This is great. I understand that move. That looks like a move I would never consider. I thought I understood it, by the way, but I'm no longer... Sorry. Excuse me. I don't know, actually, why this check is that strong. Maybe it's just that it's going to block your bishop if you push the pawn. That's a remarkable idea from you. Thank you, Amon. I'm very good. You really came up with a good one on your own. I'm so good at chess. You're in check, by the way. It's red. I don't know if you know... It is telling me. Do you know the rules? Like, my bishop is attacking your king. I've got chess up looking out for me here. So that I won't be... OK, let's go with this one here. OK, I don't think capture is that good. It wants me to come back. Yeah, you see? What about the rook? There's only one good move. That's how bad that move was. No way. But what about your bishop? Now I'm going to go here. I'm not offering a draw. If I draw an engine, that's a... No! No draws. No, I already tried that. No, you have no good moves. You've got to bring the bishop. I'm going to bring it here and I don't understand it. It's like, I have this here and I have this here. I thought that I need some rooks on the central thighs, but I guess the centre is closed. I'm being, like, attacked when my king's not even there. Ooh! Can I go back? No. I mean, it still wants me to go back. Let's try. This is crazy. It doesn't necessarily want you to go back. It's just that you're only touching the bishop. There could be other green... There could be other... Look at that skewer. There could be other green moves on the board. I'm going here now. You cannot go back. I mean, you could, but it's not really... I don't think that's a good move. See, I'm going to take this. Look at your knight, how clumsy it's going to be. I mean... Amai, you're a grandmaster. What is this? I've fan-cadoed my knight. What is that knight doing? What are these? What are those? What are you attacking? What about your rooks? I haven't committed them yet. Can I do something? Oh, hell yeah. Okay, we're going to have to leave things as they are here. Okay, so knight needs to re-enter the game, which means I guess I'm going to take this one. I think I'm going to clean with the knight. Knight is better. I knew it. I was just testing the board. You just wanted to check anyway. Yeah. Make sure the lights were working. I'm loving the difference between the two knights. I think we got to go here. We're going to... Speaking of the difference between the two knights... Taking is a good idea, I think. No, it's not working for me. It's not. Just double-check. I guess we're going to go with this. My pawn is hanging. Do I need to defend it? That's not a good move. What about... Oh, yeah, just solid. See, three. Look at that pawn chain. I'm looking. What about your knight? Where is it going? It has aspirations. Yeah. I mean, long-term aspirations, I guess. It's time to behave and castle. But my rook b5 is not that good. What? Oh, it is good. It just took some time. That's not good. That's a deep evaluation. I don't like to see that. That's not what we love. How about I double my rooks? Oh, it's thinking. Not that good. What about... Knight. Yeah, I'm loving that. Look at that monster. I am, actually. Good knight versus bad knight. Is it a bit early to call? I mean, is it early to call that? Do I have some... Unrealized potential. I don't know if I like this that much. I liked when I had everything under control strategically. But the board is telling me it's okay. Yep. I'm understanding why. I miss strategy. I don't get these things as much. But with the help of the board, oh my gosh, there's going to be some nice sacrifice. I'm concerned about that. I think we need to... try to... bring the... the pieces back. No way! I'm on! Take that! There's just no way this works. I mean... I mean, I'm so confident. I calculated it till the end. If I take it, I just don't even... What's even happening here? You're in check. At least if I take it, I'll have the better knight. This is called the knight fork, by the way. How does this even... I mean, I have to... You know, out of respect for the move. I got it. It's not a good move to take it. Is it queen h6? It's queen h6 first. Of course I knew it. What? So what's next? That's the problem. What's happening now? Am I supposed to just bring the rook? Or push the pawns? Or give a check? Maybe give a check and then bring the rook? Ooh! Check first. No, no checks. Rook. I knew it. Rook lift. What is going on here? I'm a tactical beast. Wow. This is like... 10-move calculation, knight sacrifice. Easy peasy. Unbelievable. Just getting kicked around here. I mean, I was accused of cheating for a reason, Amman. I was accused, I'm wearing the lipstick, and you're getting crushed. How are we supposed to... I don't know how I stop this. I mean, we have to go... here or something, I guess. Okay. I would think the rook lift is a good idea. Mm-hmm. Now, let's see if I can just go... Not yet. Oh! Just a... Okay, just three. Okay. What's happening? Queen was not good. What about that pawn? Ooh! Hmm. Yeah, that is a tempting one. That looks like a great one. Whoa! Look at my other rook! I'm getting mated with, like, three rooks here. Threatening checkmate in one, and the other rook is coming in. Checkmate's in, like, four different moves three different times. I told you you had a bad night. I've got nothing here. I can't even move. Ana. Thank you, Mon. Good game. What do you mean, good game? It's the best game of my life. You are actually now 1-0 against me lifetime. Yes! Does that make me a Grandmaster?
