Beth Harmon at her peak: my biggest challenge to date 

Who, what, where is the Beth Bot? Is it just a name for a machine one of her crew used, to play against her? Sorry, I'm new here. I'm 74, been away from serious chess since the high school chess club, in 1964. I'm saddened the notation has changed.

@@jselectronics8215 The beth bot is based on the fictional chess player beth from the show queens gambit that came out on Netflix recently

@@carsonlane7229 How are the chess bots created?

@@jselectronics8215 probably a shitload of algorithms

@@jselectronics8215 and Beth bot is the robot shes playing against

I never knew you were a chess fan Duckio. Play me when? ;-;

OMG, I am a BIG fun of u, and I have just found in a chess comment

Agree

hahahhahahahahaha this so underrated

Spoken word for broken nerds

Let me recommend @ChessNetwork. He has a playlist called "Standard Chess Games" that I've gotten a lot out of. You have to look past the older style videos, but his live explanation of his thinking is great for improving your own.

This is how I learned to play chess. We had no manuals or anything. We just watched our elders play and they taught us along the way through example.

Thanks anna for the heart!

YES! Watched the series on Netflix and it really was best I've seen since decades. Love Beth will all her strenghts and weaknesses but I cannot forgive her that she forgot Mr Shaibel. He was the source of all her success! I also love her outfits and the architecture of the buildings shown in The Queen's Gambit.

@@TheGermanObserver did shaibel die? Was he the old man at the end who said "harmon?"

@@chaunceyarroyo8490 Yes he did. He was the facility manager who tought Beth chess. Jolene and Beth visited the cellar after Mr Shaibel had died. Remember the wall with all the newspapers articles, the picture with Beth and Mr. Shaibel and the letter in which she asked him for 5$ to join her first tournament. this was the saddest scene of the whole series.

@@TheGermanObserver When did she forget him?

To be fair, chess bots can be terrifying so its not a complete burn haha

I thought she's German!

Én is így voltam vele 😁

@@greatarabia8091 i'm pretty sure she has german ancestry. There were a lot of germans in eastern europe until after WW2.

I just noticed that today. So sad, because I beat Beth ages 8, 9, and 10, and I was looking forward to trying the harder ones. Hopefully if enough people complain they'll bring the bots back! 🤞😊

They really did??? How dare they? I want to play Beth further on and I'm sure many others do.

For Official FIDE ranking there is a method where they give or take points for your rating based on the rating of your adversary, and/or average performance in case of titles (an IM has to perform a certain number of points in a competition against IM's and GM's to get a norm and be able to one day become a GM, but that's another more complicated story) but overall that's pretty simple, let's say you are 1500 rating and you play an open event, an for some reason you are able to keep playing till you face Magnus Carlsen himself on the final, considering the huge gap between you obviously you are expected to get destroyed, so you are likely not losing any rating in case of defeat and getting a ton if you win or draw, in his case he will get a huge blow if loses (enough to probably just take him from the top spot of #1 rated player.) Of course real life is less dramatic, and usually the pairings are evenly done so the game is as close to 50/50 it could be, but it happens sometimes that players from very different ratings play each other, like Magnus against that kid recently, that's why also no one ever broke the 3000 Rating yet, cuz once you are #1 you get less and less rating even if you keep winning, cuz the rating difference means you are likely to win anyway, even if you're playing the #2 ( I believe Magnus was 40 points-ish above Caruana once, so for ratings purposes that's a lot, and so as crazy as it looks, he would get just shy more than nothing for every win against anyone in the world, since his rating was high enough that no match was considered close to 50/50. That's what makes Bobby Fischer difference of 125 rating from #2 highest astonishing, since the gap ratio one has to perform to even stay on the current rating is crazy, since this difference is almost what makes IM and GM's apart, it will never be done again. TL;DR: There is a mathematical formula where they put Player 1 rating vs Player 2 rating and use to the difference to determine how much each win/lose in case of win, draw and defeat.
