Chess Grandmaster Hans Niemann challenges Elon Musk’s AI claims

Chess grandmaster Hans Niemann responded to Elon Musk’s suggestion that artificial intelligence will soon outperform human players in chess.

Niemann contended that, while computer preparation has a significant impact on top-level chess, the game still allows for considerable of leeway for human ingenuity and intuition.

This interaction fueled speculation of a possible confrontation between Musk and Niemann.

Niemann’s reputation had previously been tarnished by cheating claims, which were later exonerated.
