'(A)I Resign': Magnus Carlsen Defeats ChatGPT In 53-Move Masterclass
Last Updated: The 34-year-old shared his interaction with ChatGPT, which lauded the Norwegian's opening understanding, positional patience, and endgame technique. Norwegian Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen shared a glimpse into his exchange with ChatGPT in a light-hearted moment following his 53-move win over the AI Chatbot. The World No. 1 ranked player took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to share screengrabs of his post-game exchange with the chatbot with a caption that read, 'I sometimes get bored while travelling." I sometimes get bored while travelling — Magnus Carlsen (@MagnusCarlsen) July 11, 2025 '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. view comments First Published: July 17, 2025, 11:21 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Magnus Carlsen Beats ChatGPT in Chess Match Without Losing a Single Piece
Magnus Carlsen, the top-ranked chess player in the world, has once again demonstrated that he is at the top. But this time his opponent wasn't a grandmaster—it was an AI chatbot. ChatGPT, the popular AI in development by OpenAI, played an online game against Carlsen, who won in 53 moves. What made it even more remarkable is that he didn't lose a piece throughout the entire game. Carlsen posted screenshots of the game on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), with the tongue-in-cheek caption, "just a little bored during travel." The comment was a reminder of just how casually he took the match. Although the AI opened the game with some powerful plays, the machine could not keep pace with Carlsen's intuitive and sharp tactics. ChatGPT resigned and conceded the game. "All my pawns are gone. You haven't lost a single piece. You fulfilled your win condition perfectly... I resign. That was methodical, clean, and sharp." Post-match, Carlsen provided some advice to the chatbot. The Norwegian chess grandmaster said the early part of the game and the piece sacrifice were interesting ideas but the AI didn't follow through well. The grandmaster also asked ChatGPT to guess his chess rating based on the game, and the bot estimated he was about 1800–2000 FIDE, which we would consider beginner to intermediate. This could not have been further from the truth: Carlsen has a FIDE rating of 2839, which is one of the highest in the history of chess. With words escaping me, I will just let his rating tell the story, and in case you are wondering, the last time his rating was near 2000 was when he was the age of a beginner at chess... in 2001. Despite the loss, ChatGPT complimented Carlsen's excellence in the game. It praised his use of the Philidor Defense and his power-creating positional moves with ...Bf8 and ...Re8. It also observed his forceful play from ...Nf3+ and his endgame skills. Carlsen had played with precision and discipline to convert a small edge into a victory, the bot said. ChatGPT even mentioned that Carlsen spotted illegal moves fast, demonstrating his over-the-board experience as a real chess player. Carlsen has talked about AI in the past. He liked to mention that AI was exciting to start with because it let players try new ideas. But now, he said, he finds it harder to gain an advantage with AI because everyone has access to it.
