Even if they didn’t, he can read the minds of anyone observing the match and use their ideas for moves. A bunch of other chess players watching this match? They’re thinking about all the possible moves, and he can just latch onto that EZ.

Even if he doesn’t win, he’ll have managed to keep his reputation as someone who can play chess at all.

Right? Just because you know their move doesn't mean you know how to counter it. You'd still have to know actual chess

Mind reading won’t work on a bot. That’s just science.
