Newly crowned Norwegian world chess champion Magnus Carlsen took just nine moves to checkmate Bill Gates in a speed game to be aired later on Friday.

　　在周五的一档电视节目中，新晋国际象棋世界冠军芒努斯-卡尔森同比尔-盖茨进行了一场国际象棋超快棋友谊赛。

　　Challenged to a game in a chat show hosted by well-known Norwegian television presenter Fredrik Skavlan and due to be shown in Norway, Denmark and Sweden, Microsoft founder Gates said before the game that the challenge had 'a predetermined outcome.'

　　这场由挪威著名主持人Fredrik Skavlan来主持的比赛，将会在挪威、丹麦和瑞典播出。在比赛前，比尔-盖茨就预言“这次挑战的结果显而易见。”

　　Gates, 58, who was ranked by Forbes magazine this year as the world's second-richest person behind Mexico's Carlos Slim, had 2 minutes to make his moves against just 30 seconds for Carlsen. He lost to the 23-year-old in around 1 minute 20 seconds。

　　现年58岁的比尔-盖茨在今年的福布斯富豪排行榜中，排在第二，仅次于墨西哥富豪卡洛斯。在比赛中，比尔盖茨可以有2分钟的比赛时间，而对手卡尔森的比赛用时仅有30秒。但是，盖茨仅用了1分20秒就输给了这位23岁的国际象棋大师。

　　Asked by Skavlan under what circumstances he felt intellectually inadequate, Gates answered: 'When I play chess with him (Carlsen).'

　　当主持人问比尔盖茨什么时候感到脑子不够用时，比尔盖茨回答说“刚刚和卡尔森下棋的时候”。

　　Carlsen, a grandmaster since he was 13, received non-stop television coverage in Norway when he beat defending champion Viswanathan Anand of India last November to take his first world title。

　　卡尔森从13岁起就成了国际象棋大师，他在去年国际象棋世界冠军赛中挑战维斯瓦纳坦-阿南德并获胜，成为国际象棋棋王。
