This is one of the most tragic losses of Magnus, where a super genius is bested by an otherworldly genius. Magnus, with all his talent, never even stood a chance.

What can you learn from this? there is no point in trying to be the best. Even if you are a super genius, there is always a chance that an otherworldly genius arrives to spoil your party. Plus, talent comes in different ways, like Einstein was worse than von Neumann at mental calculation but von Neumann would never have discovered relativity.

How do you know that? They were alive during the same time period, Carlsen was 10 when Bloodgood died.

I'm rated 400, i don't know what's spoof commentary. Can you explain what makes it nonsense?

it shows how biological talent can defeat those who put in years and years of work. At the top level, chess is ultimately talent based, and Magnus, for all the effort he put, couldn't survive against Bloodgood, who possesses almost inhuman levels of intelligence, allowing him to reach super GM level in 3 years as a 40-year-old

It's like how Usain Bolt never trained much, and still outsprinted everyone.

Claude Bloodgood is just the much better player. He managed to get to 2789 USCF in 3 years as an older adult, a feat totally defying norms.
