| 00:00 - 00:05 | Brilliant idea: An automatic chess board |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | Electromagnets move the pieces! |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | I finance it with kickstarter. |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | Problem is: You need a working prototype. |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | So I faked the video. |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | I just made it up. |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | It looks like magic. |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | And it connects to all chess sites |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | even ones that don't exist. |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | But it's just a wooden board with a cable. |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | I even said it has autocentering function |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | and I hired actors to endorse it. |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | I made up a team of engineers |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | with photos from "thispersondoesnotexist.com". |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | But it's just me. |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | And the chessplayers loved it. |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | I'll be rich!! |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | I asked for 600$ |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | for a wooden chess board with a cable. |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | I even sponsored a chess event |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | with a shiny logo. |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | That made me look very serious. |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | Some guys critizised me though |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | in chess forums. |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | So I sent an email threatening |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | to sue them. |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | Those Lichess guys |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | just didn't believe me. |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | They said |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | it was impossible. |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | They even found out |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | that the video was edited. |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | There were hundreds of comments |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | discussing a stupid shadow |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | behind a knight. |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | So your fake was not good? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | Not at all. |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | I went ahead with the kickstarter anyway. |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | I got more than 70 supporters |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | on the first day. |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | But what was your plan? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | I would take their money. |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | And send them a chess set |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | with a wooden board |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | and a cable. |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | Best plan ever. |
