I love how every titled player that plays this thing starts off with “this is pretty good for me” “strange opening by mittens” and a few moves later say “oh this is not good” “I’m so lost here”
"It feels like playing another human. I'm not inspired yet." Hikaru, have you ever taken the Turing test yourself? This sounds like something a very potent AI would say!
Yeah I kept trying to get it to close the position but it kept breaking through, I think the max I lasted was 50 moves before it won a rook and I resigned. Game probably would've gone to 75 or 80.
Everytime I feel like I'm getting really good at chess so I play against 1200-1600 bots beat them handily and start playing against 1800s I lose if I'm not thinking as hard as I can. Honestly makes me pretty sad but I'm glad chess bots exists because with players around your elo you can always count on them to blunder with bots not so much.
Take this with a grain of salt because I'm pretty garbage at chess but mittens has a very strange and interesting and foreboding style of play. As hikaru pointed out, it is very very patient, doesn't blitz anything or Rush anything, and is just hell bent on getting good positions. Also something about mittens gives me demonic vibes honestly. It's like a lovecraftian evil alien AI cat from A distant realm

Analysed a game I played with it, it shows good moves for few good moves of my own, excellent after my excellent and best after my best, if he can. And he does not do blunders and does not give you tempo like other bots do.
The 1 ELO shows the sheer mastery that Mittens has over chess. To have such a bad elo, you have to evaluate every position perfectly and play the exact worst move, which betrays the true strength of mittens Edit: wow this was a joke, how did I get so many likes?
I think mittens is programmed to be weak at opening but ramps up to the end game. It was developed to do psychological damage by being weak at the beginning for humans to underestimate then proceeds to obliterate them in the future.
Mittens is different from Stockfish in that it is much more sadistic than Stockfish, Stockfish doesn't underestimate his opponents and plays it safely until he find a weakness and swiftly exploits it to win. Mittens on the other hand, plays very aggressively and frustratingly, it leaves pieces it can take to weaken your position even more and then takes the piece to laugh in your face.
a few minutes after the cats came out I wanted to see how many i could beat and i wanted to start from the lowest elo so i started with mittens expecting it to be the easiest game ever that i could win with my eyes closed but no, instead within 3 minutes i found myself within the most earth shaking, violent one sided battle ever and i lasted 29 moves and then i watch hikaru's video and he states hes not impressed with mittens, this really puts into contrast how good the top chess players like hikaru are
@@im_lilly736 Levy didn’t try any specific strategy. Had Hikaru played a normal opening, he would lose for sure. The hippo is the best attempt to defeat an engine in time or to get a draw, cause you can close all the pawn breaks and make long term maneuvers. It’s very passive and hard to get advantage with this opening that’s why you don’t see him playing this on normal games… Although i think Levy would lose even with the Hippo, but he could last longer
Mittens isn't meant to be the strongest chess computer ever, it's meant to be really sadistic and plays with prey without sacrificing too much power. I think. That's why someone equally as sadistic could draw her; Hikaru
The fact that some people can create such a smart chess bot AI, that can actually challenge top class chess champion players is quite admirable in its own way. Just imagine, the developer could not beat Hikaru, but he can make something that gives him a challenge.
We've had chess AI that can beat literally every human GM that has ever existed consistently for a long time. Mittens is actually quite a big downgrade from a lot of chess AI. Mittens was designed to be really good, but within reach of the worlds greatest chess players.
I looked through some parts of the game through an engine; Hikaru went down to -9 at one point but Mittens never quite punished him correctly, and the evaluation slowly rose back up to 0.0 over the course of dozens of moves.
if it passes if you play the hippo, i got pretty low against the position evaluation but then it went back to 0.0 but it was impossible to get out of dead draws. although it can be played offensive when the position is simplified but it is risky, but you can win

@@chessnoob5279 I'm assuming the person you're replying to meant the potential stalemate Hikaru explained at the end, not the one that actually happened (which is very basic)
No, this is a thing for a long time now. Rosen's trap is moving the king to the corner instead of taking the queen, and the opponent, who thinks they took the queen, would move another piece instead, and accidentally cause stalemate. In this situation, Hikaru created a real trap.
At 10:09 Hikaru is actually threatening a queen sacrifice, Qxc3, then after black Qxc3, Nd5+ wins back the queen, and Hikaru is up a knight. That is why Mittins went Kf8.

God damn dude. Hikaru has to have the world record against mittens already. If he keeps trying I bet he could beat her.
"When played perfectly, chess always ends in a draw"
isn't it that white always wins?
@@NineHundredOne no
@@NineHundredOne In the end chess is just glorified noughts and crosses.
Chess is not solved yet, so there is no answer to that question. The perfect game could be draw, white wins or black wins. But it will never ever be calculated because the calculation would need more calculations than there are atoms in the entire universe. 10¹²⁰ possible chess games vs 10⁸⁰ atoms in the universe.
@@SolarMusicZ do you think chess solved would be a win for white.
Finally! They put the 2 best chess bots against each other!
Mittens is not the best chess bot neither mortal Hikaru is.
The best chess bot is Stockfish.
@@happygood18 how about other then stockfish
@@coolkidbear1165 umm, I think Lella Chess Zero, Dragon 2 etc are next. Mittens is like 3300-3400 elo rated where as these top engines are 3800-4000 elo rated.
@@happygood18 Isnt stockfish 3700 elo?
@@coolkidbear1165 3800* I think
0:55 - He defenetly said that with a very deep voice
Chesscom created a monster it's only a matter of time before Mittens takes over the world.

Looks like one of those enemy faces from Goldeneye on N64 lol
Watching hikaru against the Mittens feels like real war waste a years to end
Hikaru : *sees Zugzwang in Chess*
_"Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be LEGENDARY!"_
"It's not supposed to play E4."
Mittens: My goals are beyond yout understanding.
2:54 bro got the great wall of pawn china
that stalemate was nuts
if you're up a pawn but it is an a or h pawn then it's a draw (as long as you know what to do, and Hikaru obviously does), not an a or h pawn is a win
@@chessnoob5279 I'm assuming the person you're replying to meant the potential stalemate Hikaru explained at the end, not the one that actually happened (which is very basic)
@@Mmmm1ch43l maybe i didnt think about it
Mittens messed up the easy 6 men endgame. It was a win for mittens
@@happygood18 yeah... In other words hikaru outsmarted mittens in endgame
Mittens is doing a disrespect speedrun of the entire chess community..
3:41 use the plane move on those two towers!!

You know you are a GM when you are not impressed by Mittens
A super gm
That guy in the chat saying Flying V clutch the draw you are a chad
mittens is secretly 3600 elo but reached prestige
No its not that high. It messed up simple 6 men endgame. It should be around 3300-3400
@@happygood18 what is your elo
@@joys8634
Around 350-400 in 1 Minute Blitz
Around 600 in 5 Min Blitz
And should be around 1200 in classic like 1 hour.
@@happygood18 yeah it's probably 3300 as it can't beat komodo 13 which is 3400 rated
@@happygood18 bro acting like mitten wouldnt crush him in 10 moves 💀💀💀💀💀
So proud of myself for seeing that stalemate move instantly
Hikaru: *struggling to find a slatemate*
Also Hikaru: "It completely misplayed the endgame"
Hikaru: I’m not that impressed
Also Hikaru the grandmaster getting backed into a corner and drawing with a 1 elo chess cat
mittens is just bad
it's a bot that's supposed to be the highest level. for it to not destroy any human is not impressive
stock fish wouldn’t have drawn like that
embarrassing plays by mittens
That tiger line was cold. Mittens would have bars if he wanted
“We’re getting a clogged toilet here. This is very good.” Hikaru Nakamura 2023
16:37 I can see Hikaru has been learning with Eric Rosen's stalemate traps.
No, this is a thing for a long time now. Rosen's trap is moving the king to the corner instead of taking the queen, and the opponent, who thinks they took the queen, would move another piece instead, and accidentally cause stalemate.
In this situation, Hikaru created a real trap.
Can someone explain why the queen didn't capture the knight?
the thumbnail is so adorable tho, hikaru is petting mittens
At 10:09 Hikaru is actually threatening a queen sacrifice, Qxc3, then after black Qxc3, Nd5+ wins back the queen, and Hikaru is up a knight. That is why Mittins went Kf8.
