Bill Gates is a genius (although being a college dropout), a Nobel man, and the second-richest man on earth earning 10x your average annual income in a year in a month. But none of that helped the Microsoft chairman when he was challenged against the world's greatest chess player. The epic showdown between Bill Gates and the Genius Magnus Carlsen took place on Skavlan, a popular Norwegian-Swedish television talk show. It took the 23-year-old Carlsen just nine moves to checkmate Gates. Gates was given just a mere 2 minutes to make his moves; Carlsen was limited to mind whopping 30 seconds. But none of that mattered in the end. Carlsen made short work of Gates, who readily admitted the challenge had "a predetermined outcome" before play even began. (Of course Gates knew what he was up against) Magnus Carlsen is the current World Chess Champion and has been a grandmaster since the age of 13.
Below is the entire video where Carlsen shows Gates what he was up against.
