Darktide, once I finally got a good grasp of all the major mechanics, which it has a lot of.

Which is awesome because I got the game 2.5 years after its release, when it was finally in a playable and fun state where they finally implemented most of the features they promised and should have been in the game from the beginning, and because of the age I got it for only $20, probably one of my most successful Patient Gamer™ moves so far lol

Approaching 800 hours recently, and it looks like I’m still gonna be spending a LOT more time in it since the most recent major update introduced some noticable change to difficulty (mostly in ways I’ve always wanted) and I’m getting my rear end handed back to me repeatedly once again in the highest difficulty, like the good old days XD

So historically speaking, when people have managed to beat a Grandmaster in chess, how often was it because they discovered such a novel new chess technique that even the Grandmaster wasn’t familiar and thus pushed the boundary of the “martial” arts of chess, and how often was it because the Grandmaster made a mistake that gave their opponent a sufficient advantage to beat the Grandmaster?
