Bill Gates is a pretty smart dude. Founder of Microsoft, formerly the world's richest person, and now a global philanthropist. He knows what he's doing.
Magnus Carlsen is also a pretty smart dude. At 23, he's a chess grand master, the reigning world chess champion and the number one ranked player in the world.
His Elo rating - a method for calculating the skills of chess players relative to their rivals - is the highest in history.
You might expect these two titans to spend hours locked in battle over a chess board, carefully contemplating their next moves, trying to stay one step ahead of each other.
Nope.
The world's second richest man was appearing on a Norwegian chat show when he was challenged to face off with the 'Justin Bieber of chess', and even Gates admitted the outcome was 'pre-determined'.
Watch as Carlsen wipes the floor with Gates, knocking off the billionaire using just nine moves in 79 seconds.
"Wow, that was fast," is all Gates can manage to say as he realises he's been beaten.
You're not wrong, Bill.
