Having had to study the mathematical notation he invented, I can't say I'm particularly surprised. I wouldn't be surprised at any of his moves, though I would also assume that Einstein studied chess for longer, and probably did play. You know who would kick all of their ass at chess out of the physicists of that day? John von Neumann. If von Neumann had studied chess instead of mathematics, he'd probably be the greatest of all time by a wide margin.

Oppenheimer not playing the icbm attack is just a shame

I think this is one of the most well explained and comprehensive breakdowns on this channel. Very educational.

just a small note: there are more possible games than atoms in the universe, not positions. It is estimated that there are more than 10^80 atoms. As a simple estimation of the positions, one can calculate with 64 squares, which can take one of 13 states (empty, K, k, Q, q, R, r, ...). That gives you 13^64 different positions, or about 10^71. Obviously, this includes numerous incorrect positions; in fact, there are probably only 10^44ish positions. A popular estimate for the number of games is 10^120

Keep up the good work 🎉🎉

quick fact ceck : How many chess positions are possible? It is estimated there are between 10^111 and 10^123 positions (including illegal moves) in Chess. (If you rule out illegal moves that number drops dramatically to 10^40 moves. it is estimated that there may be 10^78 to 10^82 atoms in the known universe. so unless you count illegal moves, the universe is still winning. doesnt change what you're trying to say though, theres a crazy amount of possible chess positions

As a linguist, there was a time where we pronounced the “k” in “knight”. That’s why it’s there. English does what’s convenient though, so the sound got dropped but the letter stayed.

I really enjoyed the commentary in this video! I think it would be interesting if you gave an estimated elo of the players in these historical games (as if the game happened now)!

Sadly this game almost certainly did not happen, but its fun to think about and interesting match. If curious, this is the best info i could find which was from an article by Edward Winter. “Our fifth ‘Chess Mysteries’ article noted that the Dictionnaire des échecs by François Le Lionnais and Ernst Maget (Paris, 1967) reproduced from Freude am Schach by Gerhard Henschel (Gütersloh, 1959) a game purportedly won by Stalin, and that the Dictionnaire expressed some doubt about its authenticity. Strange to say, exactly the same occurred regarding a game attributed to Einstein... On pages 51-54 of his book Henschel presented the following game ‘which Albert Einstein played against the American nuclear physicist Oppenheimer’: 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 Bb5 a6 4 Ba4 b5 5 Bb3 Nf6 6 O-O Nxe4 7 Re1 d5 8 a4 b4 9 d3 Nc5 10 Nxe5 Ne7 11 Qf3 f6 12 Qh5+ g6 13 Nxg6 hxg6 14 Qxh8 Nxb3 15 cxb3 Qd6 16 Bh6 Kd7 17 Bxf8 Bb7 18 Qg7 Re8 19 Nd2 c5 20 Rad1 a5 21 Nc4 dxc4 22 dxc4 Qxd1 23 Rxd1+ Kc8 24 Bxe7 Resigns. No date or venue was given by Henschel, and the note of caution in the Dictionnaire was ignored by subsequent writers. Page 415 of Şah Cartea de Aur by Constantin Ştefaniu (Bucharest, 1982) described it as a ‘game of historic value’ played in the United States in 1940. Pages 157-160 of El maravilloso mundo del ajedrez by Emilio Carrillo Alonso (Mexico City, 2002) gave both the Stalin game and the Einstein one, heading each of them ‘Moscow, 1926’. Elsewhere (e.g. passim and ad nauseam on the Internet) the date of the Einstein game is recorded as 1933, and the venue as Princeton. A. Soltis gave the game on page 372 of the July 1979 Chess Life & Review, introduced with a claim (devoid of any corroboration) that ‘it was apparently played in the late 1940s when Hans Albert Einstein, son of the Einstein, and Robert Oppenheimer were both on the faculty of the University of California at Berkeley’. What, then, is the truth about the ‘Einstein game’? More specifically, did Henschel’s 1959 book mark its first appearance in print?”
