This bot succeeded in trolling me. I thought I was going to win on time, but what happened was it found a complex mate in 7 and then intentionally drained its clock before playing it out. It basically slow rolled me.
This is fascinating as a relative newbie. I just used this opening and some of the ideas after watching - it utterly destroyed one of the bots I usually use for learning. Wow. Thanks for sharing!
The only improvement that I can think of for the bot is the function to BM your opponent. For example, if the bot has mate on its next move, it should hold for 10 seconds to give the opponent an opportunity to resign.
There are plenty of possible improvements. To name a few, it could always sacrifice material as long as doing so wouldn't drop more than a set percentage of the evaluation; it could choose the most aggressive (easy to train a neural network to recognise aggressive moves) option available if no sacrifice is possible; it could try to play "in the spirit" of the openings in the database, etc.
I always thought this was the way to go after engines got so strong they beat super GMs with piece odds. it's so pointless to watch people analyse 0.1 pawn differences in engine lines when the engine can beat anyone a piece down. the tiny differences are irrelevant to human play because engine strength masks anything subtler than piece odds. so it's much more useful to see how this bot proves us that dubious gambits are completely playable.
You just pointed out that odds that would be significant for a human don't really matter for the engine and then right after you said that it proves that Dubious gambit are "completely playable". No man. You were right with your first take. Dubious gambits are very bad and will usually lose humans the game because we don't usually outmatch our opponent by enough that odds don't matter. You just argued that Dubious gambits aren't that bad because the 3000 rated(?) engine can beat humans with it. After that logic blundering two clean pawns in the opening would be "completely playable" as well.
@@eliasvonbrille if an engine can find moves to win those games, the same moves exist in the position for all of us. therefore those gambits are winnable against any human. that's the truth of the position.
@@babstra55 the engine can also find moves to beat other bots, so it's possible for humans to win against a 9999999 rated bot just because the moves are there???
@@Gian_sas yes. of course it's possible, if the moves exist in the position. that's what the truth of the position means. it's not a subjective concept.
@@babstra55 it's not possible for any human and it will never be. It's practically impossible, not theorically. The only reason why it would be possible is because of the million monkeys paradox.
I think that this is one of the most interesting segments you've ever shown us. A vast resource has opened, not unlike a Venus Flytrap. We KNOW that we are the flies. And yet...
This is a great opening. This being the only tutorial I have ever seen! I won 7 out of 8 games. And I remember just the first 4 moves and the main ideas. (Bullfrog gambit)
I've played bots on lichess, and in my experience, they are 300-400 elo underrated, because they almost exclusively play each other, almost never play humans in rated games. Johnathan never stood a chance. It wasn't even close. He should try a 2000 elo bot instead.
I just played a 50 move game against the bot and tried some shenanigans in the opening with a3 h4 trying to confuse it. I'm 2550 so actually higher rated than the bot and it completely outplayed me. I made 3 inaccuracies in the whole game 2 of them in the opening and it only made 1... I don't care that it beat me but at least give it a proper rating. No 2500 plays a perfect game for over 50 loves lmao.

How do I get the bot on lichess
@@ThomasEmmanuel-xs4ku You can add it as a friend but sadly the bot hasn't been active in a year.
Bot reminds me of GM Hambleton: “When you see mate in 1, look for better!”
Disrespectful 😂

when the bot wins it tells you in the chat "GG and i mean get good"

This bot shows you that if you are strong enough you can make any dubious gambit not look dubious?
Wow. The band Rage Against the Machine now makes absolute sense.
7:50 the castle killed me

Jonathan shranz: "it might not be so easy to find a mate".
Me who has been single for over 5 years can relate to that.
This guy is educational and fun.
You should totally try to get the Nakhmanson against this thing. Or the Wagon!
How the fuck is Alice?
No need to try, just challenge "from position" and you can play this bot in any gambit you want.
Is there a way to play this bot locally?
8:30 schrantz has had the position 1000000 times
8:35 this position has occured 7000 times on lichess
..this math ain't addin up
I need a Gmhikaru video against this bot.
Fun, thx! (You have a problem for sound at least in beginning of the video after h4)
It's superinteresting because gambits are meant to trick and use the human way of thinking and exploiting emotions like greed.
How do you play the bot?
The bot was thinking "silly human"
It's probably using Stockfish with the values tweaked to undervalue material, like it says in the name
This bot is hilarious,
It says "gg ,i mean get good" after winning the game
How do you access this bot on Lichess?
link is in the video description
What is the bot called please?
It's called MaterialIsOverrated and you can check it out here: lichess.org/@/MaterialIsOverrated
@@JonathanSchrantz thanks Jonathan, btw ❤️ your vids, haven't tried the wagon gambit yet but it's on the to do list
Bullfrog?!? That's the Kilkenny gambit!
Speaks to the limitations of humanity, even though man is the one that created it.
And then he sacrifices THE ROOOOOOOOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is called the Kill Kenny, by Simon Williams.
Nah, Humphrey Bogart Gambit
Lol This was great. Thanks Jonathan!
I miss your chess content. Come back! ❤
The bot likes to play it it's food
I misclicked that knight to a6
Funny human
Or call it the "Tal bot'
You're funny mate. 😁
yo.
Lol
Day 2 of asking for a video about the Latvian Gambit.
Day 52 of asking for a video on my funny English lines
Day 1 of asking you to stop mentioning your funny English lines
You are dedicated, he should be showing your funny English lines
@@tedpaul8391imagine getting mad at me giving Jonathon 52 days of free engagement lol
I like its style , sacrifice for aggressive attack with purpose (win)❤️♟️
