That kind of stuff.

Yeah.

They're tough.

Yeah, you can't have... There's a reason Magnus is the best.

It's because seven hours into a game when everybody's given up, he's still squeezing juice out of the fruit.

So that's the way I would describe it.

So that's not a good source of information if you...

No, within the first 15 moves, generally, you can tell.

Because you can tell how well they played the opening, so how well they knew what they were supposed to memorize, what they were supposed to play, and then how they react to piece interactions.

So if they are faced with a move that a more advanced player would deal with very swiftly because there's kind of a natural response, that gives you information.

If they move their king when they're in check when they didn't have to, that's a massive giveaway.

Some people just think, oh, I'm in check, so I have to move my king.

Okay.

Yeah, but it takes two to tango.

So you could memorize a bunch of stuff, but if you're 900 and I'm 900, my rating is fluctuating all over the place in this podcast, I feel.

It's all 13, 900.

You can memorize things.

I'm going to play some crap and...

You can't play the way you memorized because I have to respond to you in certain ways.

So you will either respond the way you think you're supposed to respond, and that will probably be incorrect, or now you have to figure out how to deal with the fresh position.
