This week's guest is Samuel Sonning, a Swedish computer scientist, former Google engineer, and founder of NoctieAI—a user-friendly chess platform featuring rating tests and bots designed to play like humans. In our conversation, Samuel discusses his unique improvement philosophy as an adult learner, including how memorizing famous games helped him build intuition and visualization skills. A passionate player himself, many of Sam's ideas have directly shaped NoctieAI, which offers immediate move feedback and personalized flashcards based on individual mistakes. We also explore the broader state of machine learning as it relates to chess. Samuel has been fascinated by this intersection since the days of Kasparov vs. Deep Blue, but while he still sees great potential in AI-assisted chess learning, he no longer views chess as the leading edge of AI development. This was a fascinating conversation, and I'm excited to follow NoctieAI's continued evolution. Thanks to our sponsor, Chessable.com!

Aunque pueda parecer extraño, el ajedrez ha estado muy presente en la historia de la televisión. A veces lo ha hecho como elemento formal o estético, pero otras como pieza central en el plató. Recorremos algunos de los momentos más espectaculares de esta hermosa relación. Hoy, en ‘Cuentos, jaques y leyendas’, Roberto López y Manuel Azuaga ponen el foco en un set de televisión. En 1987, meses antes del duelo en Sevilla entre Karpov y Kaspárov, el programa ‘1,2,3’ le dedicó un capítulo completo al juego del ajedrez. De hecho, la presencia del ajedrez en distintos formatos televisivos ha sido constante desde hace décadas. En ‘Enroque corto’, charlamos con Patricia Llaneza, Maestra Internacional Femenina, árbitra y campeona de España en 2006. En ‘La biblioteca de Caissa’, el maestro Luisón nos recomienda dos nuevos títulos. Y, en ‘La gran diagonal’, recibimos el saludo y la pregunta del gestor cultural Martín Moniche.

Pep Martorell es director del Barcelona Supercomputing Center, hogar del MareNostrum 5. Sentimos una extraña mezcla de fascinación y temor por las nuevas tecnologías. La ciencia tiene un impacto en el mundo en el que vivimos y la computación del superordenador soluciona problemas que no podemos tan siquiera concebir. Escribió Eduardo Mendoza en su precioso discurso de aceptación del Premio Cervantes que “las vocaciones tempranas son árboles con muchas hojas, poco tronco y ninguna raíz”. Pep, que divulga también en su propio Substack, entró en el campo de la física fascinado por los documentales de Cosmos. Carl Sagan contagió y sigue contagiando a muchos jóvenes en busca de una vocación. Ese hombre, con su pasión por la ciencia, despertó la curiosidad de muchos y mi esperanza es que este podcast haga lo mismo.Quiero dar las gracias a la Cambra de Comerç de Barcelona por haber hecho posible este episodio. Me permitieron grabar en su fantástico ático de Diagonal y no habría podido encontrar un emplazamiento mejor para la charla con Pep. La propuesta de la Cambra es atractiva para todo tipo de perfiles relacionados con el mundo de la empresa y te animo a que explores los eventos que allí organizan. La Cambra quiere ser un punto de encuentro empresarial en la ciudad de Barcelona, facilitando conexiones inesperadas y creando oportunidades en la serendipia que se genera en esos círculos. Siempre la opcionalidad del amigo Taleb, los accidentes positivos de los que te hablo en Kapital.Así narra Stephen Fry el regalo del fuego por parte de Prometeo, en su fantástico libro Los mitos griegos revisitados: “Cuando les mostró a los hombres aquel demonio saltarín y célebre danzarín, de primeras chillaron atemorizados y recularon ante las llamas. Pero la curiosidad pronto superó al miedo y comenzaron a solazarse con aquel nuevo juguete mágico, aquella sustancia, fenómeno..., llamadlo como queráis. Supieron por Prometeo que el fuego no era su enemigo sino un poderoso aliado que, convenientemente domesticado, tenía diez mil millares de usos. Prometeo pasó de una aldea a otra enseñándoles técnicas para fabricar herramientas y armas, cocer cacerolas de arcilla, cocinar carne y hornear masas de cereales, lo que enseguida desencadenó una avalancha de ventajas que supuso la prevalencia del hombre sobre la presa animal, que no podía reaccionar a las lanzas y flechas de punta metálica. No tardó mucho Zeus en bajar la mirada desde el Olimpo y ver puntos de titilante luz naranja salpicando el paisaje a su alrededor. Al instante supo lo que había sucedido. Tampoco hizo falta que le dijesen quién era el responsable. Su ira fue arrebatada y terrible. Jamás se había presenciado una furia tan extrema, tan tumultuosa, tan apocalíptica. Ni siquiera Urano, en su mutilada agonía, había experimentado una rabia tan vengativa. Urano fue vencido por un hijo que le resultaba indiferente, pero Zeus había sido traicionado por el amigo al que más amaba. Ninguna traición podía ser más terrible.”Índice:1:21 Temor ancestral a lo desconocido.8:52 Labatut ve al científico como un poeta.19:10 Mirar en el abismo del conocimiento.27:06 Las bellísimas lecciones de Sagan.30:51 Faltan chicas en las carreras STEM.42:56 La tradición catalana de comprar tecnología en Andorra.51:35 Conferencia en Solvay en 1927.1:03:15 Los misterios del big bang.1:06:58 Hablar de Newton es como hablar de Messi.1:16:51 Un superordenador en una capilla.1:25:58 Ich probiere.1:35:06 AlphaGo.1:41:53 Nobel de Química para el plegado de proteínas.1:45:59 Kasparov contra Deep Blue.1:48:23 Destrucción mutua asegurada.1:59:39 El bosón de Higgs.2:06:31 Misterios por resolver.Apuntes:Cosmos.

« La “coalition des volontaires“, pointe Le Monde à Paris, c'est le nom de l'initiative franco-britannique qui doit réunir, aujourd'hui, une trentaine de pays alliés prêts à aider davantage l'Ukraine et à sécuriser un éventuel cessez-le-feu entre Kiev et Moscou, alors que l'administration Trump a engagé de laborieuses négociations avec la Russie, sans les Européens ».Le quotidien ukrainien Kyiv Independent s'interroge : « l'Europe, et la France en tant que l'un de ses leaders, peuvent-elles maintenir Kiev à flot alors que les États-Unis se retirent ? (…) À l'heure actuelle, les efforts diplomatiques déployés par Emmanuel Macron n'ont pas encore porté leurs fruits, le continent n'étant pas en mesure d'élaborer un plan concret sur le réarmement, les forces de maintien de la paix en Ukraine et une position unifiée à l'égard des États-Unis, de plus en plus agressifs. (…) Pour tenir les nombreuses promesses faites à l'Ukraine et à d'autres États européens et révolutionner la défense européenne avant les élections présidentielles françaises de 2027, Emmanuel Macron devra mobiliser encore les volontés et trouver plus de financement ».Incertitude…Le New York Times renchérit : « on ne sait toujours pas qui est prêt à faire quoi dans cette coalition, surtout à un moment où la faible croissance et la dette élevée compliquent l'équation pour les pays européens qui essaient de dépenser plus pour leurs armées. Le plus grand point d'interrogation est l'idée d'une éventuelle “force de réassurance“, constituée de troupes européennes qui seraient stationnées en Ukraine une fois le conflit terminé, afin d'empêcher la Russie de répéter son invasion de 2022. La Grande-Bretagne et la France ont lancé l'idée, mais jusqu'à présent, aucun autre pays n'a annoncé vouloir engager de troupes dans une telle force, qui reste largement à définir, donc, et que la Russie a qualifiée d'“inacceptable“ ».Exemple de cette incertitude : en Espagne, le Parlement traine des pieds pour augmenter les dépenses en matière de défense. Ce que déplore El Pais à Madrid : « avec une guerre aux portes de l'Europe qui dure déjà depuis trois ans, la menace expansionniste de la Russie d'envahir l'Ukraine et le virage anti-européen de la Maison Blanche, (…) il faut parvenir à des accords entre les partis. Nous avons besoin de clarté dans l'incertitude et d'une classe politique entière à la hauteur du défi ».La sécurité ou l'honneur ?Pour le Times à Londres, « l'Europe est dans une situation difficile », avec « un accord de paix bâclé » voulu par les États-Unis… Le Times qui lance cet avertissement : « nous, Européens – Britanniques, Ukrainiens et tous les autres – sommes désormais tous dans le même bateau, mal équipés et mal approvisionnés, ballottés entre Washington et Moscou. Les vœux pieux l'emportent souvent sur le réalisme, mais à mesure que la prise de conscience de notre situation critique se fait jour, la révolte se profile. Confrontés au choix entre un rapprochement lucratif avec la Russie, mené par les États-Unis, et la confrontation périlleuse qu'implique le maintien de la loyauté envers l'Ukraine, de nombreux pays pourraient privilégier la sécurité à l'honneur. À long terme, soupire le Times, ils perdront les deux ».« L'Europe doit être prête à faire la guerre »Enfin, dans une tribune publiée par Die Welt à Berlin, l'ancien champion du monde d'échec et opposant notoire à Poutine, Gary Kasparov estime que « l'Europe doit être prête à faire la guerre ».Kasparov formule plusieurs exigences en direction des chefs d'État européens : « former un bloc de défense européen totalement indépendant – une Otan parallèle qui pourrait fonctionner sans le leadership mondial des États-Unis », « exclure immédiatement la Hongrie du droit de vote et de l'aide financière de l'Union européenne », « mettre fin à l'exportation de pétrole russe via des flottes fantômes », ou encore « introduire la conscription pour le recrutement militaire ».

Judit Polgár bateu o récord de Bobby Fischer converténdose en Gran Mestra aos 15 anos. Despois de renunciar aos campionatos femininos, converteuse en integrante do equipo da selección olímpica de xadrez masculina do seu país durante oito edicións. Desde 1989 ata a súa retirada das competicións en 2014 mantívose como número 1 na lista de mellores mulleres xadrecistas do mundo, e en 2005 conseguiu situarse no posto número 8 da lista absoluta, completamente dominada por homes. Ao longo de toda a súa traxectoria como xadrecista e posto que as súas habilidades estaban ao nivel da elite deportiva, a moza tivo a oportunidade de medirse ás figuras máis reputadas da historia.

Vandaag bespreken we het boek De domheid regeert van Sander Schimmelpenninck. Ondertitel: Hoe opzettelijke onwetendheid een politieke strategie werd We kregen het boek van de Correspondent - dank je wel. We bespraken eerder het boek Sander en de brug van Sander Schimmelpenninck. Sander is journalist en verkocht recent zijn podcast bedrijf. Het boek van nog geen 150 pagina's gaat over de status van de politiek van deze tijd, de hang naar extreem rechtse ideeën. De titel prikkelt. Het boek is geschreven vanuit een linkse visie op de rechtse politiek en volgers. Waarom verliest links steeds meer stemmers en aanhangers? Waar is het midden gebleven? De domheid die Sander benoemt gaat niet over intilligentie maar over een houding. Proloog De cultivering van domheid De wapens van domheid Dealen met domheid Epiloog Proloog De combinatie van domheid en radicaal-rechts is een bedrieiging van de democratie rechtsstaat, en neigt naar een autocratie. Verrassend nu leeft 70% van de wereldbevolking onder autocratische regimes. (10 jaar geleden nog 50%) De cultivering van domheid De algoritmes van de social media, en in het bijzonder Twitter (X), dragen bij aan het verspreiden van nepnieuws, gevoelens, en valse informatie. Ze drijven op commotie. Als mensen vaker dezelfde informatie zien, dan ga je het geloven. Kasparov: doel van moderne propaganda is je kritische denkvermogen uit te putten en de waarheid te vernietigen. Volgens Sanders was de doorbraak van domheid de coronacrisis. Mensen die elkaar vonden in de strijd tegen de coronamaatregelen Naomi Klein (Dubbelganger) (Tegenlicht https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/tegenlicht/kijk/afleveringen/2024-2025/Naomi-Klein-en-de-ruk-naar-rechts.html ):narcisme + socialmediaverslaving + midlifecrisis + publieke shaming = rechtse meltdown. Domheid is volks, kennis is elitair Onderbuikgevoelens zijn ook gevoelens (Van der Plas) Politiseren van kennis en daarmee afzetten tegen de elite. De waarheid doet er niet meer toe, de respectabele media, en overheidsinstanties worden bestempeld als nep. Journalisten en wetenschappers verliezen hun status als bewakers van de waarheid. Als er geen gedeelde waarheid meer is komen fascisme en autoritarisme op. (Timonthy Snyder) Meer welvaart, meer ontevredenheid. Leiders die identititsondernmers zijn, die instaat zijn om mensen die eigenlijk redelijk tevreden zijn een probleem aan te praten en hun een goevel te geven venadeeld te worden. The wealth paradox - boek Het calvanistische ‘doe maar gewoon' is zo gek nog niet - wie in het midden zit ervaart de minste woede en afgunst. De gespeelde domheid van mensen als Rutte, Wilders en andere hoog opgeleide politici. De wapens van domheid de zondebok - een copingstrategie; immigranten zijn de favoriete zondebokken, is van alle tijden. (Assielzoekers zijn niet de oorzaak van de woningciriss - belangrijkse oorzaak, wanbeleid van de politiek). De jij-bak (whataboutisme) - de boodschapper is af, want hypocriet - Klimate Rebbels, die een keer gevlogen hebben in het verleden. Fophef - ophef over niets bijzonders De valse balans (bothsidesism) - dat je twee kanten moet horen en de waarheid in het midden ligt. Naast een wetenschapper iemand uitnodigen die niet geloofd in vaccinatie. ‘Het had waar kunnen zijn' - appleren aan het onderbuikgevoel dat een uitspraak waar had kunnen zijn, maar het niet is. Bulshitten - voorbeeld Yesilgoz over nareis-op-nareis waar kabinet over gevallen is, blijken er maximaal honderd te zijn.

What does it take to build a superintelligent enterprise? Dr. Nada Sanders shares insights from her latest research on what it means to create a superintelligent organization.

Nada and Kevin discuss Kasparov's Law, which emphasizes that an average person with a good process and AI can outperform even superior computers or individuals without the right systems. Nada believes the key to long-term success in a superintelligent enterprise lies in blending technology with human empathy, communication, and expertise.

Today we channel our inner Kasparov to discuss the fact that things are better when you think several moves ahead. Whenever possible, it's best to be methodical and avoid the need to make decisions on the fly.    We discuss how we've seen people do this effectively–including a former colleague who would occasionally head to the back room, pop in his earbuds, and do the dishes. Sometimes it even bothered us because not doing anything doesn't feel or look like hard work. But thinking is doing something. Thinking is working.    It feels counterintuitive to simply marinate in silence, but it's essential. It enables you to stitch up those seams today so things won't unravel tomorrow.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The ascension of Vladimir Putin - a former lieutenant colonel of the KGB - to the presidency of Russia in 1999 was a strong signal that the country was headed away from democracy. In the intervening years Putin has grown not only into a dictator but an international threat, but for too long the US and the world's other leading powers have continued to appease him. Now it's clear Putin is at the centre of a worldwide assault on political liberty and the modern world order. But will the Western allies mobilize too late to halt the rise of the authoritarians? ---------- Garry Kasparov is a Russian pro-democracy leader, global human-rights activist, business speaker and author, and former world chess champion. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, in the Soviet Union in 1963, Garry Kasparov came to international fame at the age of 22 as the youngest world chess champion in history in 1985. He defended his title five times, including a legendary series of matches against arch-rival Anatoly Karpov. His famous matches against the IBM super-computer Deep Blue in 1996-97 were key to bringing artificial intelligence, and chess, into the mainstream. In 2005, Kasparov retired from professional chess to join the vanguard of the Russian pro-democracy movement. In 2012, Kasparov was named chairman of the New York-based Human Rights Foundation, succeeding Vaclav Havel. He is now considered to be Russia's leading dissident. ---------- LINKS: https://www.kasparov.com/ https://x.com/Kasparov63 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Kasparov ---------- BOOKS: The World After Ukraine (2025) Winter is Coming: Why Vladimir Putin and the Enemies of the Free World Must be Stopped Hardcover (2015) Deep Thinking: Where Machine Intelligence Ends and Human Creativity Begins (2018) ---------- ARTICLES: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/russia-arrests-former-world-chess-32669346 https://www.politico.eu/article/chess-garry-kasparov-russia-extremist-list-honor/ https://rdi.org/articles/garry-kasparov-the-real-reason-putin-killed-navalny/ ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

With the news that longtime Vladimir Putin critic Alexei Navalny had died mysteriously while serving in a Siberian penal colony, it seemed that the hopes of the opposition to Putin inside Russia had died with him. While there are still remaining critics in Russia, jailed and facing an uncertain future, Navalny was undoubtedly the most high profile. However, another well-known activist against the Kremlin continues to speak out—from the United States. One Decision sits down with the famed former chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, who has campaigned against Putin for years, to discuss the West's eroding support for Ukraine and the continued fight against Putin, now increasingly being fought outside Russian borders, by voices like Kasparov's. Sir Richard and Julia discuss Navalny's legacy and his choice to return to his homeland, which ended up costing him his life.

GM Patrick Wolff is quite accomplished on and off the chess board. In the 1990's he was a  2 time US Chess Champion and a member of GM Viswanathan Anand's prep team.  Patrick is also the author of Learn to Play Chess Like a Boss, a book that is always one of my first recommendations for newer players.  In more recent years, he has worked as a hedge fund analyst.  This varied background gives Patrick unique insights into the intersections of the chess and the business worlds. In our conversation, Patrick shared his opinions on all of the recent controversies which have plagued the chess world. As Patrick explains, the recent flare-ups involving dress codes, prearranged draws and a chaotic qualification process for the FIDE Candidates are all connected. Patrick thinks that the chess world needs a new governing body, and that the game is poised for more explosive growth if this can occur. In addition to all of the news, we caught up on lessons Patrick learned from playing in the US Senior Championship,  and his observations on the continued evolution of chess engines. There is always lots to learn from GM Wolff, and I appreciated hearing his perspective. 0:00- Thanks to our presenting chess education sponsors, Chessable.com!

This week we are joined by a legend of Norwegian Chess, GM Simen Agdestein. Simen was the first Norwegian Grandmaster, a childhood trainer of Magnus Carlsen, and is a nine-time champion of Norway, who holds the record of being both the country's youngest and oldest national champion, after winning the title again this year at age 56. As if these feats weren't impressive enough, at the time Simen was around his chess peak (#16 in the world) he was also a star football/soccer player, who played striker on Norway's national team! With such an accomplished resume, one might think things have been easy for Simen, but that has been far from the case. As he discusses in our interview, injuries derailed his chess and football careers simultaneously, and SImen was forced to reassess everything. In our conversation, Simen shares what his vast life experience has taught him about life and chess improvement. Simen also discusses the current chess scene in Norway, and of course, tells plenty of stories about what it was like to coach a young Magnus Carlsen.  Thanks to our Presenting Chess Education Sponsors, Chessable.com Here are a few of their Magnus related courses:  Fight Like Magnus  Grind Like a GM  Magnus Carlsen: Endgame Virtuoso  You can check out my favorite courses here: You can check out some of my recommended courses here: https://go.chessable.com/perpetual-chess-podcast/ 0:02- GM Agdestein reflects on his recent, record-setting National Championship.
