The analysis is wrong there. Kh2 draws, but black is completely busted if white plays Kh1 instead. Repetition ideas don't work then. Leela actually went for the most challenging line there.
#suggestion Hey Antonio! It would be great if you could analyze 2 games in one video: First game and a rematch. This way we could see better the differences between how these two deal with certain positions. The video might be a bit longer but we will never get bored of your analysis anyway. Best regards sir
Maybe it's because it's an AI, maybe it's because the picture, maybe I am just fond of the style of play, but I must admit... I ALWAYS am silently rooting for Leela in her games, no matter who she plays
zan Imagine unironically using the word simp. Also I like that she’s basically a semi-perfect human chess player with personality and not a huge database like stockfish
None of the engines analysing the game in real time (including Stockfish!) thought that that position was a draw, though: www.tcec-chess.com/archive.html?season=17&div=sf&game=7 Don't ask me why!
it was no draw stockfish was evaluating completely winning for white at move 29 which was that bb2 at 5:45. Leela was tied that down at that point and there was no drawing chanced. Agad got that wrong.
@@dannygjk lol you dont know about chess engines. +2 for stockfish in a tablebase position is event horizon. Sf at that point sees a tablebase win no matter against who it plays.There are not logic at that point sf literaly calculates the position to a win.

@@Stockfish1511 I'm not talking about when an engine finds a solution while it's searching due to a EGTB hit... and I know how engines work I studied engines, game theory and comp sci.
9:47 -- A Kh2 reply to Qxe4 draws, but Kh1 wins for White. So, no draw for Leela if "she" plays Qxe4. 11:18 -- Stockfish's own calculations consider Qg6 to be the best move here for Black (and slightly better than Ba6 to chase the White rooks around for awhile). Qg6 keeps an eye on both the e4 pawn as well as the h5 square.
I think the goal of winning is not calibrated properly as doing draw repetition tactics which win if the opponent makes a mistake makes sense. But going for a win which only works if the opponent makes a mistake as opposed to a clear draw is a bad optimization. Obviously the draw would be a priority in that case and the key to neural networks has been defining the goal which is going for lines with wins or draws and no forced losses. Not going for wins with possible guaranteed losses as those should be pruned from the tree. Certainly makes the engine more fun for a human opponent but would be senseless for TCEC
Leela didn't refuse draw, Kh1 instead of Kh2?? is completely winning in the Qxd4 check line. Both Stockfish and Leela sees that very quickly, the endgame is much easier for white than in the line Leela went for, that was still very challenging.
there was no draw. Agad got it wrong. Sf was evaluating as completely winning at bb2 which was the move at 5:45. Leela would take the draw if there was a chance, but it was completely lost.
14:41 “rook captures, king captures, and pawn captures on F4.” What he really meant was rook captures rook captures aaaaaand pawn captures on F4. Duh you guys. Agadmator does not make mistakes, he only mispronounciates.
After Qf2 there is no draw, white can take on e4 removing the defedner of the bishop, white has to defend with Qe2. White can then give up the rook for Qf5 and black is pretty much getting mated with Qf8+ ideas. Or so says stockfish
1 thing that you should know is that we love chess engine games(at least i extremely enjoy them) so i would really suggest to show more engine games as well(same as you are doing recently :)
He’s really great. But his channel is the chess channel with the most subscribers. If you still think he doesn’t have enough subscribers, maybe it’s just chess in general which is underrated. Maybe you’re right after all
Hey Agadmator! I just wanted to say I'm a huge fan and I've been watching your videos for about two years now.

Thank you for uploading quality chess analysis videos and I am looking forward to you hitting a million subs in the near future. I would be honored to play against you some time...
Leela didn't decline a draw with queen captures pawn ! Yes, if after Qxd4 white plays Kh2, it's a draw, you're right. But white doesn't have to play Kh2 ! The correct move is Kh1. Then, black is completely busted. It was very difficult for Stockfish to win the endgame Leela went for ; but after Qxd4 Kh1, it's trivial for top engines to see black is dead lost.

Deep engine checking of sidelines is a must when analyzing an engine game like this.
You know.. The interesting move which Leela played is because of its algorithm, we have to prioritise somethings over others while making good algorithm, but such algorithms take the risk of making mistakes in some rare positions, this is one of them...
At 12:55 , can the black play RxF3? Is the white king allowed to capture the rook after that since the piece defending it is the bishop which is pinned to its own king. I've always been confused with this
AlphaZero was from 3 years ago and chess engines have improved a lot since then, especially Leela and Stockfish (currently version 11+). To give you an idea of the progress, the Stockfish 8 that A0 played 3 years ago was ranked #1 at the time. Today, Stockfish 8 does not even make it to the top 10 strongest chess engines. Remember the 100-game match where AlphaZero scored 64 points against SF8? Well, the top 3 engines of today (Stockfish 11, Leela, and Leelen/AllieStein) would easily achieve an excess of 70 points. A0 has done its job and there's little reason to care about it anymore.
Could someone explain how “leela chess zero“ works and what‘s the difference to alpha zero? I would be very thankful because I have no clue of all this technical stuff
Leela Zero was created by a Stockfish developer to mimic the success of Alpha Zero, as the exact coding for Alpha Zero had been kept secret. Both are neural networks, meaning they learn over time by adjusting the 'weights' of branches by playing a large number of games
Self learning algorithm (improved by playing against itself or learning from human games) vs brute force as many positions as possible and decide if the position is good based on human style analysis (castling is good....king safety is good...etc). Neural network engines tend not to come with any human analysis baggage and look at chess from scratch for themselves. We teach traditional engines how to play chess, neural networks teach us how to play chess.
It wasn't a draw. King goes to h1. And of course I am not analyzing this by myself, just using what stockfish says. I remembered that neither stockfish nor leela ever thought it was close to a draw, and I just checked it.
Isn't Qxd4+ (the line Leela didn't play, because "she wants to win") just loosing for her? You say it appears to be a draw, but after Kh1 instead of Kh2 Stockfish is completely winning. I usually don't correct your mistakes, but this time the whole video is about it, so I kind of had to xD
5:44 Is here Nf5 a good move? It seems like it does everything, attacking the rook and the bishop, and if black simply defends the bishop with the queen, white can still play Rxd5 and if queen recaptures, then knight eats the rook Nxh6.
Leela’s objective is to play moves that give it the highest win probability. It probably only saw draws in the line mentioned so went with a line with higher variance. Leela does NOT count a draw as a good thing even from a worse position as a human would.

Usually in a drawish position my opponent asks me for draw and I decline playing for win, but in the end I lose..

About time to lead.... Eh stocky... Would love to see the final match
What is the both engines rating ?
Leela’s objective is to play moves that give it the highest win probability. It probably only saw draws in the line mentioned so went with a line with higher variance. Leela does NOT count a draw as a good thing even from a worse position as a human would.
Sorry, I don't see how 42...Qxd4+, would have forced a draw.
In that case White plays 43.Kh1 (not Kh2) and is still winning.....
