I'd get the 100,000$, but then I'd pay Carlos Magnusson 20,000$ to let me en passant mate him in a prearranged game, and I'd get money off of that, and the 80,000$ still.

I mean... no one gave me a box to think outside of, so how can I think outside of the box?

Depends. Is it in tournament, or some random online blitz game?

100K USD ofc. Beating Carlsen won't make me famous in Taiwan. Less than 5000 citizens know Carlsen. 100K can buy a Nice BMW. Driving a BMW gets attention happy.png

I'd get 100,000. Even if I beat Magnus Carlsen, I'd just be on the news for a day and that's it.

It's in a nice café with a small crowd. Some of them record the game as proof

But with en passant mate plus beating Magnus, you can earn money from the tournaments and events people invite you to

bruh anyone in the right state of mind would take 100 grand. investing that would turn it into at least 500 grand.

Yeah but you need to be good to win tournaments. The OP never said you gain chess skill.

En Passant checkmate against Magnus. En Passant isn’t about money it’s about sending a message

Let's say you were good enough to look good at chess

And besides, en passant is like the coolest thing ever

Bruv fame is always better than money, En Passant all the way

 

Misknervis

True, true. I would take the money

Jenium

I take the money. Besides, if Magnus falls for such a mate in one, it is probably a blindfold bullet simul...
