Kasparov played simul at ~2650 with just 20s per move — the chess intuition study behind it

Using a viral clip of Dina Belenkaya chatting mid-game, Aakash Gupta revisits Fernand Gobet and Nobel laureate Herbert Simon's research on chess intuition. Kasparov once played 7 national-team players simultaneously with 20 seconds per move against their 3 minutes — and still performed around 2650, only 100 points below his normal strength. Too little time to calculate long lines: pattern-recognition-driven intuition was doing the work.
