Managed to survive 68 moves playing the Ruy, I made 0 blunders, 1 mistake and 3 inaccuracies, Mittens made 47 best moves, I made 23 lol, it was absolutely brutal, the cat forced me to trade off and sac absolutely everything just to hold on for dear life, It was one of the most humbling experiences of my chess career.
@@thanassisdiamantis6670 No, the joke is that Mittens is rated 3000+ and no human can actually EVER beat her. Not even Magnus could. So, if you beat her, you 100% used an engine and cheated.

After losing spectacularly to mittens several times, I played against it with the help of stockfish, playing the top move every time. Every single game like this ended with a draw.
9:10 well TBF the sac was the only move that extended the game, anything else was mate in one. :-B oh wait, you forgot to go for an even better phrasing: adding a "... twice!" at the end. xD
Maybe they are actually running stockfish in the background to see if you cheat. I wonder if anyone has attempted another engine and got a different victory message
@@floridaman6982 it seems everyone who beats it gets the same "cheat...meow" message. Even Ben Finegold got accused of cheat...meowing by "the cat", and he played the whole game while streaming (so without cheating)
I actually defeated mittens.........using stockfish But seriously mittens played stockfish moves most of the time, minimum 3000 rated I'm guessing, could be higher too.
i defeated mittens using fritz 17 program on AI level "grandmaster" and it says that mittens is 2040 elo (i was doing mitten's moves against fritz, the program evaluates your approximate elo in the real match based on the current game by the precision of your moves) ofc its not taking in a count that it is a 10min blitz, but in the game without time control it says that mittens moves are 2000 elo P.S. Fritz was playing black, easily mated with advantege of light piece in the edngame, so i gues mittens ello realy is not so high because fritz takes like 10 minutes to win with black
@@lucemferre1496 definitely not around 2000 elo only since many titled players can destroy 2000 elo bots if they played seriously. Mittens also held its ground to the older versions of stockfish.
Damn i remember i saw 1 as its elo and thought 'weird' i was confident i could win, but the damn kitten outclassed me in the theory and i realized shit its a high level bot
Thinking Mittens was 1 elo I sac’ed my queen thinking it wouldn’t take it. When it took and then followed up by forking me I realized I had been bamboozled
6:28 "i have to find a large dog to help me out" -- that might be the most sensible strategy i've heard about how to thwart mittens' destruction spree... :)
After I played this once I had a bet with a friend about drawing it, I ended up playing her for 2:30 hrs and did not draw her once. Learned a lot though, genuinely insane what ideas it came up with, especially regarding same side attacks
I won mittens with my computer local stockfish instance. It took 76 moves to checkmate!! Mittens is just stockfish with depth 18-26 (fast moves its 18, when it thinks it can go up to 26)
*Levi Rozman has fallen , he was in high danger levels* *Eric Rozen has fallen , he really meant it when he said "oh no my queen"* Hikaru Nakamura , Magnus Carlsen , Hans Nieman and stockfish 15 remains... Drunken Carlsen: finally a worthy oponent.. *_our battle will be legendary_*
"I have to find a large dog to help me out" I have been thinking the same after being *DESTROYED* for 3 straight days. I even tried with stockfish 13 help and still lost... -_-
12:11 Does sacrificing a piece for c4 work? It threatens a discovered check. I think with the knight it doesn't work because of Qd6. And bishop.... have a drawback that the knight is still hanging. Still, a nice sacrifice to think about
I don't know what it's like to be a prophet seeing the inevitable end of the world, but I think it's little something like when Eric saw the point of that last bishop check.
Wow Eric I used to watch your videos on opening but after absolutely getting rekt by a cute cat idk if I can take your advice.. I'll have to ask mittens now
It doesn't seem like it. From the videos I have seen, Stockfish 15 defeats Mittens everytime. However, Mittens is probably stronger than many other chess engines.
@@angelmendez-rivera351 Yes, Mittens is losing now, but if he grows up a bit, maybe he can beat Stockfish. But there is a possibility that he is also Stockfish, but with more aggressive settings.

Ok cool so it's like normal dialogue but with meows and cat references in it.
"Meow, gaze long into the abyss. Hehehe"

I dared challenge mittens after starting to learn chess about 3 months ago.

I played a quiet london game with no mistakes, and still only lasted 57 moves.
For all we know, Mittens IS Stockfish. Fish to cat. Evolution is weird.
Mittens is a (1) elo cat that ate stockfish and transcended to become an eldritch chess horror.

But seriously mittens played stockfish moves most of the time, minimum 3000 rated I'm guessing, could be higher too.

I won mittens with my computer local stockfish instance. It took 76 moves to checkmate!!
Mittens is just stockfish with depth 18-26 (fast moves its 18, when it thinks it can go up to 26)
Im glad to have lasted 42 moves with 85 accuracy and no blunders. This cat tho is some demon spawn

I only just watched Levy's destruction last night, cannot wait to watch Eric's. Love you guys btw.
Mitten is staring at your soul. 🥺💀
THE LAST WORDs
Perfect ending of this video
The title should be "IM gets rolled by cat"
I'm 660 rated and I lasted 53 moves against this absolute terrorising beast. It has truly given me PTSD for sure.
13:51 unlike in duck chess you cannot castle out of check. 😂
"i feel so broken" thats how we all felt. now its martin the lord against mittens or magnus or hikaru
I like that Eric beat Martin but only with assistance
This is the first Eric Rosen video I have watched and his style kinda reminds me of Bob Ross.. sooo very calm and almost hypnothising.
he is very relaxing
The Bob Ross of chess.
This takes "1 is everything, everything is 1" to whole different level
That must have been a painful experience, but it was so funny and Eric's despair was so relatable. 🤣
Famous last words when playing an engine: "I'm up a whole rook."
"I have to find a large dog to help me out"
I have been thinking the same after being *DESTROYED* for 3 straight days. I even tried with stockfish 13 help and still lost... -_-
Wow a fish disguises itself as a cat... clever very clever
“ I am up a whole rook here” he said just before recieving the largest beating of his life
Watching all these IMs get rolled by the "1" elo bot is great content
At first I thought Mittens was a joke. And she is, just the one I expected. But I'm kinda relieved to see everybody but Stockfish failing against her.
Not a normal kitten, it's me Mittens the ultimate chess destroyer! 😺
“I feel so broken”
As do we all Eric, as do we all…
Feeling like a king after flagging mittens in a bullet game where it had mate in 2😂
Interesting to watch IM's getting stomped by Mittens.
Mittens plays like she's got:
- Perfect theory
- Infinite engine lookup
- Solid psychology
- Limitless cruelty
Well, of course. She's a cat.
“What is that move? I don’t remember that being a move”…and the end was near.
Mittens is like if Stockfish learned how humans play so it could better dominate us.
Now I don't feel so bad. Kittens dissected me like a frog as well. :(
"No help of any kind"
Mittens: so you have chosen death.
My cat wouldn't need to use a bishop to take a queen, but would simply use its paws to do so directly.
I'd love to know more about the AI behind this.
“It’s too early for any accusations I don’t want to get sued” 😂 😂 😂
Of course Mittens is playing the Cat-alan😻
I don't think Mittens makes a mistake, ever. And punishes every mistake you make.
It does if you use an engine
12:11
Does sacrificing a piece for c4 work? It threatens a discovered check. I think with the knight it doesn't work because of Qd6.
And bishop.... have a drawback that the knight is still hanging. Still, a nice sacrifice to think about

it scares me.
I don't know what it's like to be a prophet seeing the inevitable end of the world, but I think it's little something like when Eric saw the point of that last bishop check.
I think they just realized that a cute cat was a better sell for a chess engine than a dead fish
All of a sudden I dont feel bad for losing anymore
The attack in that second game was insane
That kitten has mopped me up about 15 times in a row now. 😂
Wow Eric I used to watch your videos on opening but after absolutely getting rekt by a cute cat idk if I can take your advice.. I'll have to ask mittens now
If it makes ya feel better you took it better than Levy 🤣
I can provide consolation for Eric: Levy Rozman got destroyed by the kitten as well.
I am impressed by the fact that you spelled Levy correctly, and did not call him Levi like all the other noobs in this comment section.
Good to see Mittens the Crime Solving Cat take some time out to relax.
Chesscom high level trolling with it's kitty bot playing the CAT-alan...
At 5:58 could you not play knight to g4 because the queen is pinned down to defending the bishop
Ng4 re1 and then what
24…Qa6 looks interesting to me. Idea of sacking room for knight followed by knight fork and transplant to b6
