My favorite part. "I've spent a year planning this. In that time, I've been reading transcripts and I've been trying to familiarize myself with your games... What's your name?"

It amazes me how Derren gets the pieces left on the board correct.There is one possible explanation. Maybe Derren studied the games of all the players in great detail and noticed that for each player, whenever they finished playing a game, there were always around the same number of pieces left on the board with that player. Maybe it only varied by a few pieces. That means all Derren had to do was lose/gain 1 or 2 pieces and offer an ending to the game at the right time.

I'm very impressed with Derren's method on this one. Very, very clever.

Could you do it?

Maybe Derren did spend several months traiing for this. That makes it a feat in my book.Look, at least two of the chess players there can play ten games of blindfold chess simultaneously. Nevertheless they agree that what Derren (not a chess player) did was excellent. He did it all in one take with no mistakes. Very impressive.

If Derren had been playing chess all his life, his games would have been recorded and he would have a rating.He moves pieces physically like a beginner and doesn't know how to offer a draw.Chan played at about his rating (remember I watched the entire game), but was simply outplayed by a better strategy (including an opposite-coloured bishop attack). There is no evidence that Derren was affecting anyone's play. |
