AI Perfected Chess. Humans Made It Unpredictable Again

This Week, I'm looking back at BBC2's Chess Masters.
Was this a chess show played by humans; or a human interest show using chess as a metaphor? Because the programme fell between stools and made depressingly little sense.
Plus! Some words about Genius Game, the ITV show you would enjoy.
Look, you're on Mastodon, and Genius Game is the most Mastodon show since Only Connect. And it's got David Tennant!

Oh god, that final game too... Thalia winning an ultra stressy comeback on time.
I think that just took some years off my life.

I love the #ChessMasters show but gosh, the latest episode took my stress levels through the roof!
I only managed the first puzzle only in the puzzle challenges, and David Howell dominating three contestants at once got my blood way up.

We've been enjoying Chess Masters: The Endgame. It's a sort of chess Bake Off, with Sue Perkins as host, and some endearing contestants. The show is helping my daughter learn about the game, and I've particularly been enjoying the puzzles (an aspect of chess I hadn't really explored).
Reviewers and the nerds of Mastodon all seem to hate it though. Oh well. My main criticism is that 30 minute eps are insufficient for explanation and analysis.

I'm glad to see #TheStudio is as good as everyone says.
Feels like we're spoiled for good #television at the moment, what with that and #1923, #WhiteLotus, #Daredevil, #Adolescence and #Severance.
Plus #HighPotential was pretty fun, #ChessMasters is back on the BBC, #WheelOfTime somehow keeps getting renewed, and the US version of #HIGNFY #haveIGotNewsForYou has started to get better.

I'm sure they had fun making it, but #ChessMasters is crap tv.
-
BBC4 really pushing #ChessMasters and who can blame them when it's as utterly appalling as it is?
-
Nailed it. (Or as they'd've no doubt predictably said in the program, checkmate) #ChessMasters #chess https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/mar/10/chess-masters-the-endgame-review-so-dull-its-almost-unwatchable

#ChessMasters was an unbelievably poor high-brow replacement for #OnlyConnect but it could have been worse. We could have had sob stories. They could have started singing.

This isn’t getting recommissioned. #ChessMasters #chess #BBC

The faux tension and excitement of the ridiculously easy "puzzle" section. Jesus.
-
Well, this is just awful. Everything bad about reality TV shows. Players clearly been told to act up. (Badly) #ChessMasters #chess
-
A speed chess game where only a handful of moves can be shown to explain the strategies or risks because trying to do that in real time would miss a quarter of the game does not make for great television.
-
Okay, no idea what to really expect from #ChessMasters on BBC2 now but let's give it a go.
-
The first 30 seconds of #ChessMasters mskes it seem awful, but here goes… #BBC
