In this somewhat dated video, a magician and memory master shows how you can come out ahead against nine chess champions, including two grandmasters, by thinking ahead. As for the numbers he shows? I think that’s fairly clear once you know the technique he employed to succeed.

Happy Friday!

Thanks!

I am impressed that it was pulled off again, IIRC it has been done before. But human naiveté knows no bounds.
