Bill Gates may be one of the smartest (and obviously richest) men on the planet, but he isn’t above getting schooled by an expert. While appearing as a guest on Norwegian talk show Skavlan Gates played world #1 ranked Grandmaster Magnus Carlsen.
The match lasted 79 seconds in real time but in only 12 seconds of actual playing time Carlsen checkmated the Microsoft founder. Maybe next time the two can play Minesweeper, my moneys on Gates!
