When people on here are saying it's a fraud because he's memorising them that's like saying a GM should play 1 e4 and then have a 20 minute think over move 2 or it's against the spirit of chess. They memorise openings and he's memorised this. Fair play.

Kudos to him, but you can clearly see the difference between him and super GMs like Hikaru. When Hikaru does this, you can see him thinking about the possible moves, calculating and actually "solving" the puzzle mostly due to his own chess skill and experience. I feel thrilled and learn a lot from that. Casper on the other hand applies previously memorized moves in the right order for each puzzle he sees. He basically uses pattern recognition on the whole chess board. While it is very impressive, it is also very boring and doesnt improve ones chess-skill nearly as much. I applaud his great memorization skill, but what he does is very deranged from competitive chess in general and leaves a sour aftertaste. His score is inflated and no longer anywhere close to being a measure of his actual playing strength. I think that is mainly the reason why people call him a "fraud", even though it indeed was fair play according to the rules. If this is his main form of practice (which I very much doubt), Casper would get absolutely destroyed in a real chess-game against a good chunk of GMs, where the position on the bord differes even a little from what he had already seen.

I know this was a joke, but this is actually a pretty interesting topic. How strong would the "perfect" player be? It could very easily be weaker than A0, or even SF - remember, nettlesomeness is a big part of winning games, and a perfect player does not need nettlesomeness to sustain the perfect minimax evaluation. For instance, if the starting position is indeed a draw (and most believe that it is), then 1. a4 is undoubtedly still a drawn position, seeing as white just has black's apparently drawn position with the addition of a4.

I'm thinking that he has puzzles from 45 and up memorized because you can tell by the way he's playing up to 45 that he's actually thinking and by 45 and up the puzzles are much harder and require longer calculation that has to be memorized to play that fast. Plus I'm thinking that chess.com is adding puzzles every week mostly to the puzzles under the 45 range. If that's the case, then it should be possible to achieve 96 like he did unless chess.com starts adding a whole bunch of puzzles to the 45 and up range making it much harder or even impossible to achieve.

I like the message after he completes the puzzle "is this even possible? 60+ in puzzle rush..." 😂

@felipebarrera9560

He had a lot of luck in the last try, because there were a lot of famous studies in this puzzle rush (i.e. number 53 is the famous endgame (9.29), number 48 (8.59) and number 60 I recognized (10.17)). I don't quite remember the solution to these puzzles, but he certainly did. Still, the speed is incredible! Goed gedaan!

I guess he doesnt sleep ... He memorized puzzles, i guess
