Now, by planning. It's being thrown into action then taking the correct immediate steps necessary to win by knowing what your doing ahead of time. He's playing the one against the next one then the next one and so on!
Probably my favorite Derren Brown. I love proper planning and preparation and the high you get when you succeed, not the recognition you get for doing it but being recognized that you did it. You know what I mean?
As for the prediction of the pieces left...anytime the magician touches the thing to be revealed before it's actually been revealed (6:18) then you can bet some sleight has been done.
@codeisforever impossible for sleight of hand to be involved here seeing as though he asked the man to open the envelope and take out the paper... he only touches the paper at the very end in plain view in order to unravel it....watch it again, he clearly doesn't swap them like you're suggesting
I actually thought Derren Brown was somewhat true. Then he made this video. He would have no chance against the masters even if he studied every single second in that year. Those are the top players in chess. He wouldn't even stand a chance to a class A/B player. These people here are clearly actors. Derren, you disappointed me. You should have stayed with cards tricks and mind tricks because this chess trick clearly didn't work out for you.
lame! this is the oldest trick in the book, and those chess players were being totally dishonest by pretending they didn't know what he was doing, and didn't know they were playing each other. pathetic. what dishonest ppl.
@Darth814Vader keep in mind he claims he was playing one real game of chess, but at the same time he was getting a variety of moves and ideas from grand/international masters. Also, Derren has exceptional memory (the average human can only remember 7 things at once, and he was able to remember 8 while playing a game of real chess). Derren probably has studied chess quite be on par with great players and felt confident in his playing ability.
Polish people showed that 20 or 30 years ago in the movie about one guy, who can't play chess and two champions of the world with chess. He was playing with them by letters, and all that he does was simple just like darren made them play each other:D
"I've spent a year planning this, and during that time I've been studying transcripts and trying to familiarize myself with your games... What's your name?" lol
@IEatCray0ns If i recall correctly I think at the beginning of the show, he was a bystander that picked up the pay phone when it rang. He past out like that, and suddenly gained consciousness later on at the end of the show.
Normally in a simultaneous match, the champion plays the white pieces on every board. It's a suspicious coincidence that the 4 white challengers all open with e4, so I'm not really buying that.
As for the number: there are only five unique positions and he can decide the order in which he calls out the players to state the number of pieces left, assuming there is room for one "mistake". He constructed the number and memorized several patterns to ambiguously interpret them so he's always right.
@assailant85 that is a interestiong point i mean if darren chess wuz shit as he said he wouldnt be able to beat such a great player who just because is the worst player in the room doestn mean hes bad wut so ever so i agree with you
So how did he predict the number of chess pieces left? It's so similar to the "the system" where he used 7000~ applicants to guess 5 horse race wins in a row... But he can't have done this experiment a few hundred or thousand times to get the exact number of chess pieces left...
@ShahnamPersia er I meant the trick seems very much like the one from the system... yet unlike 'the system' where he had thousands of tries, he couldn't have tried it more than once here to guess the number of chess pieces left x)
Wait, Derren's chess is "shit", yet he beats the president of chess society in some college without help? Not only that, but Robert says Derren's on par with the grandmasters he's played with, meaning that Robert obviously has experience. I wonder how he won at table 9... I bet he "genuinely can't remember" that either...
@anoriginalname397 Well, "Is shit!" is a subjective statement. For Derren to even SAY something like that, he's obviously familiar with the game, so my wager is it's essentially an exageration XD.
This is impossible to do the way he explained it. From what I could see he started playing as black and opened c5 against whites e4. He divided all of them into pairs, meaning that the other pair across from the "e4-c5"-table have to play exactly the same as the "e4-c5"-table. Let's say he try to copy the e4 move at the other table, and his opponent answers with for example e5, then it's suddenly a totally different game and he's screwed right from beginning.
@zreeper The reason this is possible to do using a computer against someone over internet is because you can change the situation you want against a computer by just moving pieces how you want, but you can't do that in a real game.
@zreeper You're assuming he played like a regular simultaneous, where the seated guy makes a move and the exhibitor replies and moves on. He didn't do that - He saw the move e4 at the first table but DIDN'T respond. He went over to 5 and played e4 there. Then whatever he responded, DB played as Black on table 1. So if table 5 DID play e5, he'd play THAT as Black on 1 - he HASN'T played a move there yet. The bogus part is, every chessplayer knows this trick - they're pretending to be surprised.
@zreeper No it's possible, but here is how it works. So he goes to table 1 and lets the other player go first. Then he doesn't make a move and walks to the next table pretending he's thinking. Once he gets to table 7 he goes first using the table 1's move. He watches table 7's responding move and walks to the next table. Once he get's back to table 1 he uses table 7's responding move. Repeat!
he didn't know the number of pieces left in the games in my opinion, he just counted them at the end of the game and made a trick when the guy opened the envelope to put the numbers in. he just misscalculated the pieces on the first table that's why he got them wrong.
Now what makes me wonder is the mysterious character of Robert Chan. He is nowhere near the ranks of the others. He gets beaten by Brown. Now does he really get beaten legitimately? I just wonder. Robert Chan is the mystery to this trick I believe.
@oOoleveloOo Also look at when he beats Robert Chan. Chan only gets 6,7,8 pieces (really hard to tell, but just pause it) of Brown's pieces. I mean seriously? can't do any better than that? He has to be a plant or just really bad.
No! No... nononnonononononononono! I refuse to believe that he simply cant remember.... Damnit.... that was the part I was really curious about... Course, I'd be lying if I said I had any clue about the rest of it, but that was the part that really got me... Damnit...
And, the reason I really wanted an explaination is because Derren actually *made a mistake* in his prediction... I wanna know why... damnit...
@madblueplanet Wrong thinking there. There could not have been a plant; each individual was a legitimately rated chess player, and none of these individuals would have ever thrown a game. If Brown won a game on his own, then he simply happened to do so.
@JeffersonDinedAlone I was talking specifically of "Robert Chan" who is simply the president of the Chess Club at Kings College. Albeit it true Brown could've won a game in a situation like that, I would bet money that he didn't. I think Robert was probably in on it, as he's notwhere near the "chess status" of the other individuals. Even if it weren't the case though, Dan could be fed chess moves by someone backstage. These kind of scenarios are entirely possible, Dan Brown is a magician...
@Adeptmind Nah, I'm pretty good at chess. I find it more beneficial than being a cheap pseudo psychologist wandering around youtube giving away free inaccurate prognosis.
I've seen some people claim very confidently that the numbers on the long paper at the end was a sleight of hand trick, that he switched it when he grabbed it after Graham Lee took it out of the envelope, but that's not true. You can see some of the numbers on there before he touches it, if you look closely. Graham had already unfolded it some and looked. Also, some claim it's a statistical trick, which is silly.
he's fuckin liar. darren was making they faced each other . 9 games. it should be 8 games. 4 losses 4 wins and one game i think hes real and he lost. read in Wikipedia "cheating in chess". u 'll know
@vinidivici If you actually thought about what you are saying, and watch the whole video you would understand what is happening. Stop just reading Wikipedia and stating it everywhere you can.
6:17 the moment when he comes back he tug onto the paper, its at this moment he executes a good-ole-magician trick, thus making it seem like he predicted a numbers, the mirror chess setup was a very great system he discovered, that is amazing
@Bobstew68 There's no statistics or predictions. It's just mirroring the two boards, so that when he loses one game, it's cause his other opponent won his (or he draws both).
@Bobstew68 Oops sorry. I realize what you were asking. Well he can look at the average number of pieces left in a grandmaster game and come up with an average distribution that he'll end up with. It won't be perfect, but it'll be close (as was the case here).
@Bobstew68 He might have been lucky. I mean if you come to think about it this is meaningless because he didn't actually right down on the paper what the numbers meant. So he could have just bullshitted a meaning after the games were over.
@carvakommie Even if there were literally a million different things he could have claimed the numbers meant that were each as simple and straightforward as the number of each opponent's pieces left, he'd be up against astronomical odds matching a 13 digit sequence to the situation (in a uniform, linear way from table 1 through 9) by 'bullshitting' either one of those million things. No, the numbers must have been typed after the games were played.
@MichaelDeMichele That's what my first thought was. But that's wrong. For simplicity, let's say Derren is playing black against player A and white against player B. He will see player A's first move then play that against player B. He'll see player B's response and play it against player A. He'll see player A's response and play it against player B. So on and so forth. The games will be mirrors of each other.
Dan Brown is a magician, and everyone who watches his shows are the audience. Long story short, his is an entertainer who makes you believe he is doing the impossible, hence your entertainment. Just like any magician, none of it is real, but it is still entertaining to watch if you believe it.
Woo I pretty much understood exactly what he was doing after what the guy says at 4:23. Very, very smart!

@vinidivici If you actually thought about what you are saying, and watch the whole video you would understand what is happening. Stop just reading Wikipedia and stating it everywhere you can.

6:17 the moment when he comes back he tug onto the paper, its at this moment he executes a good-ole-magician trick, thus making it seem like he predicted a numbers, the mirror chess setup was a very great system he discovered, that is amazing

@sirshaunathan My friend, the mirroring system was first described in Sydney Sheldon's novel, "If Tomorrow Comes."

The number on each board is easy. That's just a statistical prediction.

@carvakommie I really can't see how using statistics to predict the pieces left on each board would work. Could you explain more closely?
Bobstew68 8 months ago
@Bobstew68 There's no statistics or predictions. It's just mirroring the two boards, so that when he loses one game, it's cause his other opponent won his (or he draws both).
carvakommie 8 months ago
@Bobstew68 Oops sorry. I realize what you were asking. Well he can look at the average number of pieces left in a grandmaster game and come up with an average distribution that he'll end up with. It won't be perfect, but it'll be close (as was the case here).

@carvakommie He started at table 1 and continued through to table 9 in order, and had eight out of nine spot on.
Bobstew68 8 months ago
@Bobstew68 He might have been lucky. I mean if you come to think about it this is meaningless because he didn't actually right down on the paper what the numbers meant. So he could have just bullshitted a meaning after the games were over.
carvakommie 8 months ago
@carvakommie Even if there were literally a million different things he could have claimed the numbers meant that were each as simple and straightforward as the number of each opponent's pieces left, he'd be up against astronomical odds matching a 13 digit sequence to the situation (in a uniform, linear way from table 1 through 9) by 'bullshitting' either one of those million things. No, the numbers must have been typed after the games were played.

FAKE
you cant copy moves from one table and play them at another table. chess moves are ENTIRELY dependant upon opponent responses.

@MichaelDeMichele he has them paired so they are always playing the same moves against the same person.. why did you watch this?
faudreechris 9 months ago
@MichaelDeMichele That's what my first thought was. But that's wrong. For simplicity, let's say Derren is playing black against player A and white against player B. He will see player A's first move then play that against player B. He'll see player B's response and play it against player A. He'll see player A's response and play it against player B. So on and so forth. The games will be mirrors of each other.

Dan Brown is a magician, and everyone who watches his shows are the audience. Long story short, his is an entertainer who makes you believe he is doing the impossible, hence your entertainment. Just like any magician, none of it is real, but it is still entertaining to watch if you believe it.
