  • @chesscrush
    @chesscrush Год назад +939

    The weirdest thing though is that a few years back, a brillant move actually was a move that wasn't even seen by Stockfish at first. Only after a few second of looking at the position and realizing that "your move" was better than "Stockfish's top choice" it was deemed brillant. Those were some of the best times because it actually meant you played a really really good move and it felt absolutely awesome to get one. Nowadays you just leave your pieces hanging and all of the sudden you are a genius. Kinda sad

    • @Zulk_RS
      @Zulk_RS Год назад +33

      How is it even possible to make a move that is better than Stockfish's top choice? Is it something like a depth thing? Or is it more like the "Stockfish best move" is a very computer move that is only the best if you play like Stockfish but is otherwise bad in a game between two humans?

      Stock fish is set to a cheers in depth. So if it calculates 18 moves down the line and says A is the best move, but you play B, now 18 moves down the line is 1 more move than before. So if the evaluation changes with that extra bit of depth, the move is deemed brilliant.

    You don’t need to be at a disadvantage to get a brilliant move, it just needs to be a forcing and creative sacrifice.

    Not only is the algorithm for brilliant moves connected to the ELO of the player, the estimated ELO at the end of the game is as well. For example, take the game Magnus played a couple weeks ago that estimated he played at a 3400-level. If you copy the PGN and remove the ELO for both players from it and run it through the Game Review again, it will say he played at a 2500-level.

      At the end of the day it's an algorithm it will never be fully accurate and precise. For example I sacrificed a bishop in the hopes my opponent would take with the queen and not the king which made sense due to not castling yet, allowing me to get a fork on the king and queen. The computer regarded my bishop sacrifice as an inaccuracy. You see.

    @mikjelis8767 Год назад +22

    I believe that, considering it's a game between 300s, move d3 (21:12) is considered a brilliant move because of the fact that there are ways that the player with the black pieces can still checkmate the opponent by not taking the bishop on a8. The move sequence would (possibly) be like this:
    Bf2 d3
    Bxa8 Bc3
    Nxc3 bxc3
    Rh4 Nc2
    Kc1 Qg5+
    Kb1 Na3+
    Ka1 Qc1#
    Alternative:
    ...
    Ka1 c2
    Bd4 Qc1#
    But, only if something like that happens. Of course, there's probably another sequence of moves available that would lead to a checkmate, but that's for the 300s to try and find which will never happen :D

    I think part of the algorithm is that brilliant moves are moves that are given as *terrible* moves by the engine on a shallow search depth but then turn out to be the best one for that scenario at a much greater depth. It's trying to mimic how humans see great moves, ones that look unintuitive or just bad at first glance but then turn out to be amazing when you think them through.

    Idea for game 2 @ 8:33 : Bb2 is brilliant because the following moves are Bxf7+, unpinning your rook and allowing the queen to develop into the game, and because black lost the queen, white gets a massive advantage. Bb2 is developing the dark squared bishop and blocking an attack on the rook, so that black has no counterplay against Bxf7+ (Kh8 is bad because it lines up with the bishop on b2)

  • @The_Jordanator
    @The_Jordanator 5 дней назад +1

    the reason that last move was a brilliant move was because if bishop takes rook then queen takes and if they let the area around THEIR rook stay the same then the rook is COMPLETELY TRAPPED therefore you win a bishop and then if they dont move their rook at all the knight is also COMPLETELY TRAPPED because it can't move since queen checks if it does and as long as u leave the queen there long enough and kick the bishop out you win a knight

    8:05 I think the brilliancy there was that the bishop sees g7 at 8:56. If it wasn't on b2, then Re8 could be met by ...Nc7, Qxf7 Kh8, since Qxg7 mate is only possible because the bishop is on b2.

    • @Electronem1
      @Electronem1 Год назад +4

      Bishop seeing g7 is a positional advantage and not a "out of the box" idea, so it def doesnt deserve the brilliant annotation

    • @conallprince6471
      @conallprince6471 Год назад +1

      I don't know what that sequence of moves is, because for example there is not a knight that sees c7, but Bb2 also blocks Bd4 which threatens a rook.

    9:31 I think its brilliant because if bishop takes knight,it opens up the king,and white has reinforcwments in the form of a queen and a rook,and you can even probably sack the rook for a bishop

  • @randalledwards529
    @randalledwards529 Год назад +1

    21:30 The plan is to not even take back when the bishop takes and just plant your queen on f6 and threaten checkmate. Granted it's mate in 9 so the 300's would never find it, but it is a forced checkmate rook sacrifice. The one and only response is to bring the bishop back to f3 after capturing the rook, then queen b2, knight g2, pawn takes knight check, king moves to e1, queen takes knight check, king takes pawn, queen takes rook. This series leaves white down on the exchange 5 points, two knights and a rook for rook and pawn, just to avoid mate. Of course its still mate in like 30 moves, but plenty of time for another blunder to swing the game all the way back.

  • @manwithoutaplan5132
    @manwithoutaplan5132 Год назад +2

    Theory #1
    Maybe the algorithm evaluates moves based on the game as a whole. So, the bishop moving to A6 in that one example was deemed brilliant because it later lead the charge into White's collapse maybe?
    Theory #2
    It factors in your ELO, like Levy said.
    Theory #3
    The computer sees some of the craziest branches of theory that no normal human would play, so brilliance is seen from an omnipotent standpoint

    I once played a game against an opponent who played a "brilliant" move against me, the game was a hard struggle with low king safety for the both of us and a lot of loose pieces. I actually won that game and thought I would get a brilliant move after finding a beautiful tactical defense, where after my king was checked I sacced my knight to force the queen on an akward square and expose her to several tactics if he chose to take the it. For some reason that move ws considered a ok move by the engine at low depth, and tried to argue that my opponent was better after keeping the pin on the knight and trying to expand on the king side. After analysing the line, it appear that the plan actually went nowhere. What's more the engine said at much higher depth that my move was the only winnng one for me.

      Even better: it opens the diagonal for the queen. Imagine you had a queen on b2. White would be slaughtered. d3 allows you to play Qf6, attacking the bishop on f2. If the bishop moves or is defended, you play Qb2! and white is getting mated or losing everything. It's a nice move, actually.

    The problem is people don't realize the concept of brilliant moves existed before the internet or stockfish even existed, and it's supposed to be evaluated by a human being based on how diffcult and/or beautiful the move actually is from a human perspective. Stockfish kind of ruins it by using some mathematical formula

  • @samuels1123
    @samuels1123 11 месяцев назад +1

    I think stockfish likes stuff that significantly increases the number of possible moves that give you an advantage. ex: Attacking a piece pinned against another through its own sightline.
    Another possibility is that the move somehow drastically improves the scene beyond stockfish's depth for that board, like if it thinks 8 moves ahead and your move becomes important on the 9th.

  • @ryroller9394

  • @STNDD
    @STNDD Год назад +5

    22:00 I think it is a brilliant move because you save your knight in the corner, so instead of losing a night, you trade a rook for a bishop and save your knight 🗿
    So you lose a knight (-3 points of material)
    Or you trade bishop for rook and get a free knight (+1 points of material)

    • @oishiine6781
      @oishiine6781 Год назад

      I actually think it's brilliant for positional reasons. After the white bishop takes the rook on a8, black has Qf6! attacking the bishop on f2 and threatening Qb2. Once the queen goes to b2, white is getting mated or losing everything. It's a move only made possible by d3, freeing the long diagonal. It's actually a great move, and much better than moving the rook.

    Ok, I understood why the last one is brilliant. Because this pawn can defend a knight from the king, and then participate in a checkmate. And even if white is taking a pawn -- your knight have enough time to escape.
