See, when Stockfish gambits two pawns, it proceeds to get an absolutely savage position. When I gambit two pawns, it’s because I forgot they had a bishop on the other side of the board.
Stockfish vs Leela probably results in better chess despite the fact that Leela is worse than stockfish, simply because they have different ideas of how the game should be played so they "get suprised" by each others moves in some sense.
You can’t surprise the bot because the bot isn’t making moves based on what it THINKS you’re going to do. It makes plays based off of what the objectively best move is despite what the other person plays. The bot accounts for EVERY play. Even when it’s not optimal
@@PtylerBeats True, it literally accounts for even the 8th variation of triple committed bongcloud botez gambits and everything on top of the board. Each bot just played certain hundreds of gazillions of games, tried certain lines and found different things to lead to better resolutions overall (though stockfish and alphazero tend to be way more receptive than most other bots due to their (I believe) greater experience (?)
@@PtylerBeats Stockfish hasn't solved chess though, so it seems possible for an engine that has a different way of thinking about the game to find a line stockfish didn't, even if it happens super rarely. They would have to be pretty close in strength though and I don't know how much better stockfish is.
@@PtylerBeats yes you can surprise a bot like Leela, the discrepancy in outcome of what the network predicted vs what actually happened is exactly how a neural net learns, lol.
@@MIDO44444 Or Rosarch's line in Watchmen. I don't remember the exact wording, but it was something about making the inmates understand "I'm not locked in with you. You're locked in with me."
All openings? If we account for all 1-move openings, we get 400 openings already. Assuming 4 openings per video, that is 100 videos, which is pretty tough. With 2 move openings, the number increases very drastically. So, this is rather unrealistic.
I'd love to see you play against Stockfish 15 with various handicaps, to see what it takes for you to beat it. 1) Start with queen odds, and increase the handicap until you win a game. 2) Then do a round where time control is the handicap - fight S15 with one one *milli*second per move, and see how that goes, maybe cut it further from there. (No time limits on your side, of course.) 3) Have a round with no handicap, but where you can switch sides with it once, and try to win from its side of the table. (No throwing pieces pre-switch, and no waiting until forced mate - try honestly, and then switch when you think it has a big enough advantage for you to win.) 4) And of course, for the control group, play against it without any handicaps at all.
If you have a positional advantage against Stockfish 15, the engine will at least draw every game unless there is a forced checkmate, and it doesn't seem like a human could ever pull a forced checkmate situation out of a drawable position that Stockfish wouldn't see coming. If you start giving Stockfish time limits, you are just making it a worse engine, so you might as well play against the earlier versions.
If you let it run a few seconds longer, it will evaluate it as +0.6, and the stronger Stockfish version as about +0.4, so it's actually not a bad opening. Even Stockfish needs some time to think, at least on an average laptop.

The opening which is TOTALLY refuted in engine level i think is the French defense. Literally when an engine plays the French, is suffering from lack of space.
The french and caro are esssensially the same in the end so i wouldn't say so. If Stockfish's new neural network can get as creative as Alphazero's was, you can probably see it drawing itself even in the bongcloud
@@besto5486 well not the same exactly. In caro kann you get rid of the problematic bishop on c8. But you lose a tempo moving twice the c-pawn. In French you advance the c pawn once but you play without a bishop and you have a more cramped position. The engine (as white) takes advantage more of the French than the Caro i think.
@@billagap3213 i said in the end because even though you have the French bishop, that doesn't end up being all that decisive and space really doesn't matter as much as it was belived to be, that's why i mentioned the creativeness of alphazero as it could work really well in the most crammed positions, the french just gives you a bad bishop not less space and you waste 2 tempos actually in the caro the other for moving the bishop so all in all, it should be relatively equal as well as resulting in very similar looking positions except the ultra aggressive lines in the French like the Winawer and Tarreacsh
@@besto5486 But the caro is not yet refuted in engine level. Anyway this is all engine level. For us humans especially the lower rated ones everything is playable
@@besto5486 very unlikely that highly dubious openings like bong do not have a loss ratio of 80%+ the stronger the engine. If even a completely solid opening, which is the French, has already started to have relatively high percentages of defeat to be considered refuted. And stockfish has been using neural networks for quite some time, it's not just pure calculation.
I love engine play. Tactics galore and there is always something to learn. Your commentary and discussion of the lines is also a huge part of this process so thank you.
Stockfish is happy to play the nastiest, scariest, sharpest lines and keep track of all it's crazy pieces. I can't even play five aggressive moves without hanging my queen...
Imagine how strong AlphaZero would be today if the team decided they wanted it to remain the best engine in the world instead of using the technology to revolutionise medicine
And even forgetting the logical aspect to how it contributes to society, AI will have reached a plateau. Technologies like Stockfish nowadays are way more succesfull at Chess, NNUE and neural network reaches better results overall. Now Alpha zero could have copied Stockfish the same way that the fish got Inspired by AZ, but it’ll be just what’s the better engine every new release, by a small margin and literally another stockfish with a different name.
it wouldn't be so great, Leela zero, essentially the same had to keep changing stuff and retraining, and its just a little weaker than stockfish, NN engines plateau
I love this type of content. Engines games have some kind of unspeakable aesthetic. Watching these games with Levy's top tier commentary is pure joy. I want more of these 🥰🥰🥰
As someone who has only ever played chess casually with friends and knows basically nothing about Chess theory, it makes me feel good that we have the same favourite opening. :D
Saying that it can is an absolutely huge understatement. I am pretty sure you can have Stockfish 15 play handicapped (like, a Knight down from the opening) and still defeat Stockfish 8.
Next time play stockfish 15 against stockfish 15 but you play the opening for one of them and the other by itself to see if openings are that important
Opening are important at the human level. If you don't give stockfish an opening, it'll follow the mainline ruylopez or some main opening a million times and it won't be entertaining to us as nearly all of these matches would end in a draw.
I would love to see some more of this especially with more sharp openings like the King's Indian, the grünfeld, sicilian dragon, the benoni, the two knights italian with Ng5 etc and gambits
some ideas for gambits you could try: 1. fried liver 2. blackmar-diemar 3. danish 4. king's gambit 5. evan's gambit 6. englund gambit and obviously, THE DOUBLE BONGCLOUD!!!
If I am going to be honest with you, in my own humble opinion without being sentimental of course, without offending anyone who thinks differently from my own point of view, but also by looking into this matter in distinctive perspective, I would like to say I have nothing to say.
Hype! The videos where Hikaru played against the engine were super fun (some of his best) and fascinating! Hikaru was able to hold a draw after multiple attempts being a pawn down (if I remember correctly) I wonder how many attempts it would take Levy being two pawns down :D

@@billagap3213 i said in the end because even though you have the French bishop, that doesn't end up being all that decisive and space really doesn't matter as much as it was belived to be, that's why i mentioned the creativeness of alphazero as it could work really well in the most crammed positions, the french just gives you a bad bishop not less space and you waste 2 tempos actually in the caro the other for moving the bishop so all in all, it should be relatively equal as well as resulting in very similar looking positions except the ultra aggressive lines in the French like the Winawer and Tarreacsh
@@besto5486 But the caro is not yet refuted in engine level. Anyway this is all engine level. For us humans especially the lower rated ones everything is playable
@@besto5486 very unlikely that highly dubious openings like bong do not have a loss ratio of 80%+ the stronger the engine. If even a completely solid opening, which is the French, has already started to have relatively high percentages of defeat to be considered refuted. And stockfish has been using neural networks for quite some time, it's not just pure calculation.
I love engine play. Tactics galore and there is always something to learn. Your commentary and discussion of the lines is also a huge part of this process so thank you.
Why was I always hoping one of the sides would win over the other
Stockfish is happy to play the nastiest, scariest, sharpest lines and keep track of all it's crazy pieces. I can't even play five aggressive moves without hanging my queen...
Imagine how strong AlphaZero would be today if the team decided they wanted it to remain the best engine in the world instead of using the technology to revolutionise medicine
i'd rather get a cure on cancer than better elo engine, just my 2 cents
@@harnageaa For you? Ok.
And even forgetting the logical aspect to how it contributes to society, AI will have reached a plateau. Technologies like Stockfish nowadays are way more succesfull at Chess, NNUE and neural network reaches better results overall.
Now Alpha zero could have copied Stockfish the same way that the fish got Inspired by AZ, but it’ll be just what’s the better engine every new release, by a small margin and literally another stockfish with a different name.
it wouldn't be so great, Leela zero, essentially the same had to keep changing stuff and retraining, and its just a little weaker than stockfish, NN engines plateau
Stockfish owns it
I love this type of content. Engines games have some kind of unspeakable aesthetic. Watching these games with Levy's top tier commentary is pure joy. I want more of these 🥰🥰🥰
It brings me so much joy that stockfish actually pulled a bongcloud move in a game against itself
6:00 seems that computers are programed to see draws as a more viable option than humans
Stockfish: I'm winning
Stockfish: not yet, take my rook
Stockfish: oh I miss that move.
Hans "Chess speaks for itself" Niemann vs. Tigran "Pipi" Petrosian. Let's go!
Yes please
Seeing that first game with the relative value of pieces actually taught me quite alot
9:28 levy roasting 80% of his audience in one sentence 🤣
Me: Stockfish you are playing the Theory
Stockfish: I am the THEORY !!
12:30 me: "I have a feeling King E2 is good here" 12:33: nice!
As someone who has only ever played chess casually with friends and knows basically nothing about Chess theory, it makes me feel good that we have the same favourite opening. :D
stockfish also knows nothing about chess theory yet is the best chess player in the world !
Stockfish is like when two kids are trying to figure out what to do with their day “I don’t know what do you wanna do”
doesn't seem like it at all
Was expecting all the games to be drawn honestly, was nice to see a win actually 😁
Would also be cool to see a delayed c5 Caro variation 😁
I unironically want to see if Stockfish 15 can beat Stockfish 8 with the bongcloud
It can
Saying that it can is an absolutely huge understatement. I am pretty sure you can have Stockfish 15 play handicapped (like, a Knight down from the opening) and still defeat Stockfish 8.
Stockfish took "fight your inner demons"too seriously
6:10 black sacrificed THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOK!!!!
Next time play stockfish 15 against stockfish 15 but you play the opening for one of them and the other by itself to see if openings are that important
Opening are important at the human level. If you don't give stockfish an opening, it'll follow the mainline ruylopez or some main opening a million times and it won't be entertaining to us as nearly all of these matches would end in a draw.
I would love to see some more of this especially with more sharp openings like the King's Indian, the grünfeld, sicilian dragon, the benoni, the two knights italian with Ng5 etc and gambits
The sheer emotion you put into this is amazing.
I loved this.
This chess really speaks for itself. Great game by Hans
4:03 "...and if you take-" illegal move
What? How?
You're perfect Levi at making chess content :)
Palpatine during the clone wars:
"stockfish does not know theory, It is the theory" had me rolling 😂
some ideas for gambits you could try:
1. fried liver
2. blackmar-diemar
3. danish
4. king's gambit
5. evan's gambit
6. englund gambit
and obviously,
THE DOUBLE BONGCLOUD!!!
YES!
My prediction:
1. draw
2.black wins
3. draw
4. Black wins
5. Draw
6. White wins
Double bongcloud: draw
@@Grason20 I think that white will win in the fried liver....
@@addledanorak8297 i see... Different engines got different opinion about the game, and stockfish 14 gives the bar at ~+0.5
If I am going to be honest with you, in my own humble opinion without being sentimental of course, without offending anyone who thinks differently from my own point of view, but also by looking into this matter in distinctive perspective, I would like to say I have nothing to say.
Well said
I cant believe you actually just fucking said that
Pin of pin
26:36 "it is like a splinter in your mind driving you insane"
Chess board for black suddenly looking like a martingale E.
Nightmares. It gave me nightmares. I need to get my blanket out again
There needs to be an annual GCEC: Gotham Chess Engine Championship.
Approximately what depth were the servers running at? How powerful were they?
4:03 After Black takes the pawn, the Queen is checked by the Rook.
Congratulations, you played yourselves
Wouldn’t be a Gotham video without London and Caro
I want to watch Levy playing against stockfish
Hype! The videos where Hikaru played against the engine were super fun (some of his best) and fascinating!
Hikaru was able to hold a draw after multiple attempts being a pawn down (if I remember correctly)
I wonder how many attempts it would take Levy being two pawns down :D
Hikaru played 7 games against Dragon. The engine was 2 pawns down, and Naka managed to draw 3 games, the rest were losses.
This is amusing and so much fun, I'm looking forward to see kind of this content more
