As you say in the video though, Anthony Jackson wasn't talking about machines built by people hell bent on world domination, but I think the point stands that the only way to really win is to be better. Live is better, making recorded music better may be more challenging, but it's possible.

Like the Anthony Jackson quote "I will outplay anyone using a machine or I'll die"

I hate writing that only a couple months after his death, but I think it's a great point.

Amazing video and was genuinely surprised by the prediction at the end.

Agree live music isn't going anywhere, but I think recording artists are just going to have to beat gen AI and make something better, or at least they'll use it to make their music better.

He loves jeopardy and Kaiser College of Musical Knowledge was a great category for him.

Or could be 1. c4 Rxc4 2. Rb2 trapping the queen

Whoops meant - can't protect the f pawn

Fun one...

1. Rxf5 Kxf5 2. g4+ Kxg4 3. Kg2 Black both can't protect the g pawn and can't stop the a pawn.

I don't see mate, but 1.Rc8+ Qxc8 2. Qxc8 Kxa7 gives you Q v R+2 pawns which seems like it would be winning

A chess opening called "Queens Gambit Declined: Forgotten Variation" which occurs after 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c6 4. e4 dxe4 5. Nxe4 Bb4+ 6. Nc3 bxc3

For some of us, every variation of the Queens Gambit Declined is the Forgotten Variation

This was a hard one!!

1..Qe1 2.Rxe1 3Nf2+ 3. Kg1 Nxh2+ 4.gxh2 hxg6

And at the end blacks up and exchange. Did I miss something stronger? Seems like all other lines lead to mate on either h7 or g7

Qa4+ wins either the bishop or the knight depending how black defends

Love this song and the version she did with snarky puppy too!

Oh Rxg6 2.hxg6 Qh8#

fxg6 Ne7#

That's much cleaner than my first version!

I guess another defense could be Ne7, but after 2.Nxe7+ Qxe7 3.Bxe7 they're down a queen, but prevent mate after f7
