Remember, Gromk is the caveman with superior pattern recognition skills. Durp, on the other hand, used chess pieces as food and died of intestinal blockages. So it's unfair to call the recent chess match between Carlsen and Nakamura Gromk vs. Durp. Carlsen is the current champion and Nakamura is consistently in the top rated player list.
One of the complaints about current top level chess is that the game can go 10-20+ moves before the actual game starts. Players analyze previous games knowing the favorites of their opponent. Although chess has a wide variety of options available, after some practice you begin to recognize patterns and what makes sense and what doesn't. Don't worry. I'm not talking any deep strategy here.
Durp gave up on chess before his I'll fated snack because he always played this:

The shortest way to lose a game. (Technically, it's a tie because you can lose the same way playing 1. f4, 1....e3 or interchange which pawn white moves first. But, two moves.)
Needless to say the top grandmasters know this pattern and avoid it. Success in chess is a continued battle for combining what patterns make sense with the ingenuity of doing something that might look like it breaks the tried and true pattern with something that may have an immediate gain. TV and movies will often use the queen sacrifice as the exhibit of this. Normally you don't give up the powerful queen without an immediate benefit.
So, yes, after throwing away nonsense moves, things get replayed and with so many games old waters are tread upon. One of the ways to break this is speed up the game. If you only have two minutes to play all your moves or forfeit the game you don't have time to remember all the possibilities of what you previously memorized.
You can also really change things up like go Star Trekkin' and play 3D chess, or have the match that Carlsen and Nakamura played with Fischer Random Chess aka Chess 960.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess960
The pieces, other than the pawns, are set up in any of one of 960 possible positions.
Carlsen is also reigning blitz champion while Nakamura is well regarded as a blitz expert. With the board randomized all the opening preparation is flushed down the toilet and it's brain vs. brain. The match was covered live as well as videos published for each game. And those that analyzed the games talked about...
Pattern recognition. Central control, king safety, develop your pieces, etc.... Although the opening has been crazified (real word) the same principals of successful chess apply.
Pattern recognition is not something just invented a couple years ago and we do it without thinking about it. That stove burner is bright red. That time I touched it and got burned (or listened to my parents' advice and never touched it) let's me know bright red instead of black means HOT= PAIN! While a bright red sweater vs. a black sweater is merely a fashion statement.
So in gematria we have a false sense of the New World Order manufacturing their coding with patterns. It's not to hard to see that 94 and 49 have the same digits. Close enough! 1403 and 143. Close enough! Etc.... A year ago these seemed to be more like suggesting that you foul make one special move to break the rules once or twice in a chess game. As time marches on, not content to spend effort on the foregone conclusion it's now more like whoever gets to move first instantly wins the chess game. It's ok to let your five year old win by cheating because he doesn't know a bishop doesn't know it doesn't move like a rook, but he's never going to learn to not touch a hot burner with that kind of thinking. All the different methods of forcing a number into another number in gematria have either been documented here or will be easy to see through if some new way is created.
Carlsen won the match and still remain firmly #3 on my list of people I most want to meet. As long as he doesn't decide that he gets to break the rules for no good reason (like, "Hey, I'm the champion! I'm allowed to move my knights to any square I want!") he stays there.
