Twenty Questions - Game 110

[sweetandcool]

I think Q7 is the culprit of the confusion. We should avoid asking complex questions of this sort since they can generate a positive answer to any positive constituent.

Yeah, that's why I noted in #10 that #7 did not necessarily imply athlete.

Vladimir Kramnik?

Correct! My chess hero and the 14th World Champion. When posed with the question of whether the glass is half full or half empty, Kramnik would probably answer that the glass was full.

Kramnik was the one to unseat Garry Kasparov as World Champion during the chess schism, and defended that title in a match with Veselin Topalov (known as Toiletgate), to become the 14th World Champion.

I disagree.

There was a winning guess within 16 questions, so we were fine.

I think Szpoti was correct that Q7 caused confusion, but their conclusion is where I would disagree. I think people just need to keep in mind that questions like that allow for, in this case, three different correct possibilities.

Primarily known for being a chess player?

How many apolitical live retired chess players can you think of off the top of your head.

Certainly more than the number of darts players I could even recognize given a list of famous darts players...

These lists of potential classifications have been very helpful, actually, and we usually get pretty good return on them.

@Szpoti, it is your turn

Free guess: Boris Spassky

Quite pleased with this guess now

[Szpoti]

@Szpoti, it is your turn

Yup, sure. Socially busy Sunday. Thinking about what obscure Brit to employ.

[Szpoti]

Up and running. Good luck!
