'I resign. That was methodical, clean, and sharp. Well played," the OpenAI conversational chatbot said following its defeat to the 34-year-old.
'Thanks! I think you played really well in the opening, made an interesting piece sac, but failed to follow it up correctly," Carlsen applauded the AI.
'What do you think my classical rating strength is?" the GM quizzed.
'Great analysis-and I appreciate the kind words on the opening," ChatGPT responded.
'Your play showed several strong traits," ChatGPT responded.
'Opening understanding: You handled the Philidor Defense comfortably and developed efficiently," it explained.
'Positional patience: Moves like …Bf8 and …Re8 showed a clear grasp of solid setup principles," it continued.
'Tactical awareness: The sequence starting with …Nf3+ was sharp and decisive-strong calculation and good sense of timing."
'Endgame technique: Impressive precision. Your bishop and pawns converted a small edge into a winning plan with discipline,"
'You also caught several illegal moves quickly and enforced the rules of the game with consistency, which suggests real over-the-board experience," ChatGPT elucidated.
'My honest estimate? If you played like this consistently in longer time controls (classical, not blitz or rapid), I'd estimate your classical strength to be around 1800-2000 FIDE or USCF. Possibly higher if your opening prep and tactical sharpness hold up under pressure," the AI suggested.

Baby Grok: Elon Musk's xAI plans to launch child-friendly AI app soon
Tech billionaire Elon Musk has announced that his AI firm xAI is planning to launch a child-friendly version of chatbot Grok. The app, named 'Baby Grok', is likely to build upon Grok's capabilities, but with stricter safeguards and curated content to suit younger audiences. "We're going to make Baby Grok @xAI, an app dedicated to kid-friendly content," Musk said in an X post on Sunday (IST). The move signals Musk's intention to expand AI usage into the domain of child education and entertainment, while addressing growing concerns about children's exposure to AI. Moving away from controversies Musk's announcement of a new app could help the company pivot away from the recent controversies, especially when it comes to protecting young users. Ahead of the curve A child-friendly version could also give the chatbot a competitive edge, as most rivals are yet to launch dedicated apps for youngsters. Grok competes with the likes of OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. Recently, the chatbot has been more deeply integrated into Musk's social network platform X, where it publicly engages with users. Expanding domains Earlier this month, xAI also unveiled 'Grok for Government', an initiative aimed at developing AI solutions tailored for US government agencies. The project focuses on creating intelligent, agentic workflows to support various administrative and security functions. According to media reports, xAI stated that the program will bring its advanced AI capabilities to federal, local, state, and national security customers, signalling the firm's growing interest in public sector partnerships. New updates On July 9, xAI released its latest version of the AI chatbot -- Grok 4. According to xAI, Grok 4 is the most intelligent AI model in the world. Grok 4 includes native tool use and real-time search integration, the company said. We utilised Colossus, our 200,000 GPU cluster, to run reinforcement learning training that refines Grok's reasoning abilities at pretraining scale, the firm added.

Salman Khan's Battle Of Galwan Set To Go On Floors This August: Report
Salman Khan will star in "Battle of Galwan," directed by Apoorva Lakhia, about the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. Filming starts in August in Mumbai, then Ladakh. After the release of Sikandar, Salman Khan is gearing up for his next major project titled Battle of Galwan. The war drama, directed by Apoorva Lakhia, will depict the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops which was one of the most intense military confrontations in recent years. According to a new report now, the filming is expected to begin in early August. Sources close to the production revealed to Mid-Day that the shoot will start in Mumbai before moving to Ladakh. A large set is currently being constructed at Mehboob Studio, which is expected to be ready by the end of July. 'The Mehboob Studio schedule is crucial as [the team] has to shoot some of the early character-building moments there before the team heads to Ladakh for the high-octane action. The art and production design team has been working round the clock to recreate the textures inside the studio. It's a detailed set that will add authenticity to the story," a source shared, confirming that Salman will be present from the first day of shoot. The next leg of filming will shift to Ladakh, where the team is preparing for more physically demanding sequences. 'Salman has been in prep mode for the role since May," another insider told the publication. The Ladakh schedule reportedly involves night shoots, combat training, and full-scale battle sequences. Speaking earlier about his preparation for the role, Salman admitted it has been tough on his body. 'It's physically intense. With each passing year, month, and day, it becomes more challenging. I have to invest a lot more time now. Earlier, I could get into shape in just a week or two, but this time I'm running, kicking, punching — doing it all," he said. Battle of Galwan is tentatively scheduled for a May 2026 release, although an official announcement is still awaited. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
