Derron Brown, poor chess player, beats 9 chess masters.

No he doesn't. The ninth player is the president of a university
chess club. From his position, one imagines that he must be a very
strong player but, in fact, that doesn't follow -- it just means that
he's a student who's enthusiastic about chess.

I'll not say anything about the rest of it as I don't want to give
spoilers to anyone who hasn't seen this before.

I think it means that Brown is not a bad chess player; the prez can't
be a complete jobbernowl at chess, can he?
The method used is the same as that used in the old fable about a man
drawing at correspondence chess playing Alekhine/Lasker and Capablanca.
