today hikaru was able to casually draw with mittens while chatting with chat, sipping a coffee and blitzing out moves ... It was shocking to me given How well it fared against even stockfish
Now I have this mental image of Stockfish pressing its opponent's head between two chessboards and demanding that they call themselves an idiot sandwich
People consider Mittens borderline sadistic. Or actually sadistic. Stockfish: *makes a rook instead of a queen cause there's no variation of the position that requires a queen, and proceeds to make Mittens walk onto the gallows on g6 to be executed*
@@DoubleGstudio But that's the thing they're saying in their comment. Stockfish calculated that it didn't even need its' queen, as powerful as the piece is, to beat Mittens. Then it used a longer and more humiliating path to victory, giving Mittens a queen via promotion almost as an insult (I don't need mine, and you can't win even with yours), which also forced Mittens to move its' king into a mate position as its' only legal, desperate, and futile move. It's not that Stockfish "missed" a quicker victory, it's that it was coded in a way which allowed for it to not only calculate its' victory, but calculate the exact amount of force it needed to obtain said victory, without going overkill with a queen. Keep in mind that it achieved this absolute domination of a win against a bot that even our current Grandmasters struggle to beat. Whoever coded Stockfish should be very proud of themselves, they've coded a masterpiece.
@@sorin_markov that comment template was actually pretty common like a decade ago, with stuff like Justin Bieber instead of Mittens and Hendrix instead of Stockfish in the example above.
Welp, it's more like this kitten's mojo, you know. Stockfish is actually exactly like a guy, who wants to win at all cost, but doesn't miss opportunity to do it in style, if such presents :)
Levy's narration is absolutely lovely. Not only he's passionate about chess, he make you REALLY care about what he's presenting to you. You just can not not love it.
His commentary not only made me understand the stakes of each move, It made me emotionally invested enough to feel an uncomfortable amount of anxiety. Never thought chess could get such an emotion outta me.
Good ol' AI strategy of "nah, I don't really need a queen. That's overkill. I don't need overkill, I'll just do what suffices to achieve my ultimate plan which I have already forseen"
Stockfish promotes to the weakest piece possible for it to still win. So basically if stockfish promotes to a queen that means you still have a chance. but if it promotes to anything else it’s probably mate in 10 or something like that.
Snake fun fact some random minecraft player found a mistake Hikaru made apparently Hikaru could have beat mitten , there was a missed win , where Hikaru could fork mittens allowing him to get mittens queen, but Hikaru didn't notice this because he was too busy building a fortress
@@chubbymario3096 idk man, I was just looking at discord and then someone put a screenshot of a position and was like hey chess nerds explain why Hikaru didn't fork the queen, and then after looking at the position for a minute, I realised oh wait he could have done that.
Stockfish: I am not in danger, Mittens. I am the danger. A king opens his backrank and gets checked and you think that of me? No. I am the one who mates.
Stockfish isn’t sadistic. Stockfish systematically dismantles you limb-by-limb, but it does it so as to efficiently execute you as quickly and easily as possible. Stockfish has no interest in your pain, or in your surrender, or in having a moral victory. It just wants you to stop breathing as quickly as possible. Mittens is nothing like that. Mittens will take your soul. Mittens will suffocate you slowly, not to win, but just to enjoy watching you thrashing. Mittens will traumatize you until you forget your mother’s voice. Mittens’ weakness, of course, is that Stockfish does not have a soul. It doesn’t need to breathe, and even if it did, it wouldn’t panic when it was choking. It has no mother, and if it did, it would sacrifice her to win a pawn. Mittens is a menace, but a menace can’t beat a killer.
I cannot get over how Stockfish made a rook instead of a queen. It had no reason to do that other than to clown Mittens. This is a robot made to play _perfect chess_ and it _intentionally thought_ “I can do this winning sequence with a queen, but I think it’d be funnier to do it with rook.”
@@midn8588 Yeah, that's correct. The modern engines want to use the least force to get the best results, so if they calculate that with a rook is fine, then they take a rook. As well, all we know the queen is so powerful that, in some positions, there are possible stalemates.
The best part is, if Stockfish made a queen it would’ve been M4 But instead it made a rook and made it M6 It deliberately chose the longer sequence to clown Mittens in the best way possible
Engines try to minimize the loss of material (usually measured as centipawns) so stockfish promotes a piece that guarantees victory with the smallest loss of material. Or, he has conscience and is a big troll.

It looks like Mittens plays really aggressive, trappy chess, which makes it devastating to human players, but suboptimal against another machine that doesn't make tactical blunders.
@@twopregnantwomenfightingis2317 I have seen stockfish draw with greater than 1.1 advantage in TCEC... I would say 2.5+ is probably overwhelming. Even then there are fortress like endgames.

"Babe, come over!" Stockfish: I don't want to "But my parents aren't home!" Stockfish: I don't care "And there's this kitten who thinks it is the best chess AI" Stockfish: *Forces Mittens to checkmate itself with the white pieces*
“Devotion inspires bravery…” Rook to H7 “Bravery inspires sacrifice…” Rook to H8 “Sacrifice leads to death…” Rook to B8 “So... feel free to go kill yourself.” Rook to G8 -Stockfish to Mitten, circa. 2023
Stockfish threw his sword on the ground in front of the miserable, defeated cat and said: "There. Do it yourself. I wouldn't like to get my fins dirty."
The fact that Mitten actually managed to temporarily get out of stockfishs advantage is scary to me. I thought it impossible for stockfish to lose its advantage
Chess engines actually don't always play the best moves, whose is probably why storing lost advantage. But it sure is scary, 0.7 to 0 I have never seen that from stockfish
it probably didn't. The eval bar is from the browser stockfish which is a less stronger version than the cloud one. In a lot of occasions it doesn'realise the position as it needs a lot of time to evaluate it more correctly. So probably the stockfish that playe Mittens never lost the advantage
Yeah...and the fact that hikaru was able to casually draw with mittens while chatting with chat, sipping a coffee and blitzing out moves was shocking to me given How well it fared against even stockfish
23:15 Absolutely mind blowing. Stockfish promotes to a rook, not because it needs the rook but because it knows it DOESN'T need a queen. Savage. And then it allows Mittens to sacrifice its rook with check and make a queen. And then with checks, it forces Mittens to sacrifice its queen and pawn. And finally, with only one legal move left to make, Mittens is forced to checkmate itself. Levy's commentary made it all the better, I'm new to chess but what an amazing sequence.
Why would Stockfish even do this? Wouldn't it still be more logical to take a queen and only take say knight for rare cases? It's like Stockfish has personality and wanted to show disrespect
@@danielsurvivor1372 Due to the way stockfish works, it has to also consider the moves its opponent will play. Maybe it calculated the best outcome for itself would be when Mittens doesn't take the promoted piece. However, if the piece was a queen Mittens would absolutely take it.
the fact that hikaru was able to casually draw with mittens while chatting with chat, sipping a coffee and blitzing out moves was shocking to me given How well it fared against even stockfish
@LuhNisø Hikaru actually explained himself that mittens should have won that match but it did not, that's why he was so unimpressed. It was just a fluke that he won the game. Edit: I meant that he draw the game.. sorry
@@Ira-rx5ho there's no fluke when playing engines ... I can understand, you are upset that your preferred strong player either lost or didn't dare to play on stream without preparation like Hikaru... But a draw is a draw ... And against an engine that held its own against stockfish 15.1 till the very end , well that's insane and worth appreciating for the least...
I like how people yell that Mittens is a some kind of a devil in kitten fur and how it's impossible to stay on against it, while Stockfish is like: "yeah, thank you for the gift man, it was a nice breakfast"
I have purposefully not watched any other stockfish vs mittens videos just to be able to watch Gotham's with the most raw experience as possible. He's very entertaining
@@nolajoe580 out of every chess youtuber, i find him the most entertaining and while I don't usually watch every video to the end, every gotham video I've watched to the end.
Spoilers: when Stockfish promoted to a rook instead of a queen, it was badass. When it allowed Mittens to make a queen, just so that it could capture it and then force checkmate, it was simply asserting dominance
"Mittens has been slain" laughed so hard at that. Levy talks about Mittens like he is talking about a fire breathing dragon that descended from the moon
I love how passionate Levy is about chess, dude i don't understand half depth of each move, just see some checks and attacks, but i really love how he narrates as if his life where on the line. As if each move were a piece of art. Dude i love it
This felt good to watch. Mittens not only beat me yesterday, it teased and humiliated me. It kept playing one move away from a backrank mate. Any human would've made a pawn move for safety, but Mittens just knew I wasn't ever gonna get the move done. It was sadism.
What makes someone "that guy"? It's unacceptable to go into pretty much any community and say "Don't use your local terms, you MUST use the terms I approve of in my country!" But because Americans (as well as countries like England) use the word "soccer", it's totally fine to be a dick about it?
as someone very bad at chess, I love seeing his reactions and descriptions to what I would usually just say "alright this horsie is gonna go for a square shaped walk" or "I wanna trade rooks.... or do I?" it's so fun to see people who actually understand this stuff react to crazy moves while I have no clue what's going on.

@@francescolofaro8258 that rook move eventually led to checkmate btw
23:45 would be mate in 1 with a queen instead of the rook. But that wouldn't be savage enough for Stockfish.
Stockfish compares its options:
- Guaranteed win
- Guaranteed win
It's only regret is that it cannot do both.
Yah, that was an absolute power move. There is never any reason to choose a rook over a queen besides to assert dominance.
A queen can make all the moves a rook can. Stock fish choosing to make a damn rook instead of queening at the end was pure, pure sadistic humour

-Stockfish to Mitten, circa. 2023
Speaker with the best roast in gaming history
This is the last place I expected to find a destiny reference but it fits perfectly, bravo
lmao
Stockfish is the final shape
I'm the 5th reply🎉
Stockfish threw his sword on the ground in front of the miserable, defeated cat and said: "There. Do it yourself. I wouldn't like to get my fins dirty."
absolutely savage
COLD 🥶🥶🥶
Levy:Ight imma fight this cat
Levy 10s later:Damn cat got hands

@@EEEEEEEE Damn… really makes you think
@Correct is that animal is Mittens ? H E D E S E R V E D I T
Can't believe we came to this from 200 years ago
The amount of happiness levy felt when stock fish beat mittens is just too much lmao
I am so glad that mittens has been stopped
REVENGE HAHAHAHAHA
Thx for the spoiler
@@xMa2k sorry bro

The fact that Mitten actually managed to temporarily get out of stockfishs advantage is scary to me. I thought it impossible for stockfish to lose its advantage
Chess engines actually don't always play the best moves, whose is probably why storing lost advantage. But it sure is scary, 0.7 to 0 I have never seen that from stockfish
my autotranslate 💀
it probably didn't. The eval bar is from the browser stockfish which is a less stronger version than the cloud one. In a lot of occasions it doesn'realise the position as it needs a lot of time to evaluate it more correctly. So probably the stockfish that playe Mittens never lost the advantage
I doubt that happened. The engine analyising the game is worse than stockfish 15.
Yeah...and the fact that hikaru was able to casually draw with mittens while chatting with chat, sipping a coffee and blitzing out moves was shocking to me given How well it fared against even stockfish
Mittens: *plays the move I’d usually play*
Me: omg yay
Levy: now normally that’s an absolutely insane move
Me: 🙁
So relatable, he is just hyping it up so chess boobs think they need to get it back together.
Every time😂
My stomach hurts from laughing xD
Congratulations, you are officially insane
@@divyarajnakum4593chess boobs? 🤨
gotham: The queen goes to the Apposite side of the board.
Stockfish: yes I only moved it one square. Its not on the "Apposite" side.
23:15 Absolutely mind blowing. Stockfish promotes to a rook, not because it needs the rook but because it knows it DOESN'T need a queen. Savage. And then it allows Mittens to sacrifice its rook with check and make a queen. And then with checks, it forces Mittens to sacrifice its queen and pawn. And finally, with only one legal move left to make, Mittens is forced to checkmate itself. Levy's commentary made it all the better, I'm new to chess but what an amazing sequence.
the disrespect
Why would Stockfish even do this? Wouldn't it still be more logical to take a queen and only take say knight for rare cases? It's like Stockfish has personality and wanted to show disrespect
@@danielsurvivor1372 it probably just randomly chose it over a queen because promoting to either was the best move
@@danielsurvivor1372 Due to the way stockfish works, it has to also consider the moves its opponent will play. Maybe it calculated the best outcome for itself would be when Mittens doesn't take the promoted piece. However, if the piece was a queen Mittens would absolutely take it.
@@danielsurvivor1372 The checkmating in end games rarely require diagonal moving capabilities, even with a queen he would take the same path.
The irony of Stockfish evaluating the game. Like "Oh I really like the move that Stockfish made, it's 100 points for Stockfish".
does stockfish evaluate all the games, is it like the system itself?
@@fumpy_ Yep

hikaru beat mittens once or twice though
@@lemonz5177 Hikaru didn't beat it though. He lost twice with a draw.
@@shomu_og2841 Stockfish is better now, but you have to love Alpha’s play style.
You know it’s bad when StockFish themselves had to step in.
As a fellow animal I have to favor Mittens in this battle. Stockfish is usually my lunch, you see.
Hjonk
Thats racist in animal kingdom?
Wow, i usually have mittens for dinner
As a fellow human, I have to favor no one in this battle. You, Stockfish and even mittens are usually my lunch, you see.
Mittens is what I use in the Kitchen tho
the fact that hikaru was able to casually draw with mittens while chatting with chat, sipping a coffee and blitzing out moves was shocking to me given How well it fared against even stockfish
"casually" did we watch different games? he had to sweat a lot
@LuhNisø Hikaru actually explained himself that mittens should have won that match but it did not, that's why he was so unimpressed. It was just a fluke that he won the game.
Edit: I meant that he draw the game.. sorry
@@Ira-rx5ho he draws the game to be exact
@LuhNisø how many matches did Magnus or any others win against mittens, even by fluke? Lol... Keep crying
@@Ira-rx5ho there's no fluke when playing engines ... I can understand, you are upset that your preferred strong player either lost or didn't dare to play on stream without preparation like Hikaru... But a draw is a draw ... And against an engine that held its own against stockfish 15.1 till the very end , well that's insane and worth appreciating for the least...
Mittens- This town deserves a better class of criminals.
Stockfish- It's not about winning, It's about sending a message.
Those quotes were from the same character?
I think so
@@butterfly-fy3wz rhetorical question
2:04 "you don't wanna overcomit your pizzas"
Lol
I like how people yell that Mittens is a some kind of a devil in kitten fur and how it's impossible to stay on against it, while Stockfish is like: "yeah, thank you for the gift man, it was a nice breakfast"
My cat is named mittens
2nd game stockfish was like "instead of a beating, just go ahead and checkmate yourself while I sit back and watch"
Mitten really feels like an adaptive bot which was made for the purpose of making us feel good but then shattering our whole mind
That and/or it just makes you suffer because it pins all your pieces and you can't do anything about it (which is also psychologically defeating)
Grandmaster adaptive.
I never want these 2 words pop up ever again.
Levy: What is this!? What are they playing!?
Stockfish: My man, we're playing chess.
I loved the part where Stockfish said "It's stockfishing time" and then chessed all over the place
this comment would have deserved likes if it wasn't a 2022 thing
Funniest shirou pfp
you're a poet
you talk like a book 😍
Shut up, this isn't funny anymore.
If all AI becomes as sadistic as Stockfish is, then we may have quite the problem on our hands in the future lol
Exactly.
you mean mittens? stockfish is just there to win, mittens teases you the entire game and beats anyone but stockfish
@@eugenekrabs141 hikaru drew with mittens
@@watchingyoutube5093 the comment i made was before i saw that video, but even then it was a really close game and it still was a draw
I have purposefully not watched any other stockfish vs mittens videos just to be able to watch Gotham's with the most raw experience as possible. He's very entertaining
Same
agreed, he lives these games so much, it gives them life. love his commentary
E
@@nolajoe580 out of every chess youtuber, i find him the most entertaining and while I don't usually watch every video to the end, every gotham video I've watched to the end.
Yo dude either that's a lot of shadowing or your eyes got punched in by mittens
Spoilers: when Stockfish promoted to a rook instead of a queen, it was badass. When it allowed Mittens to make a queen, just so that it could capture it and then force checkmate, it was simply asserting dominance
why he promotoed to a rook instead of a queen, just to show off?
@@yoellamar9794 why not
@@yoellamar9794 honestly, yes, I think so
It only needed the movement of a rook to secure the mate, so a queen was unnecessary
You know a chess commentary is good when comments have to put a spoiler warning 😂
Mittens: Prepare to die stock fish

its acctually funny xddddd
It's incredibly impressive how good he makes these videos with just one take.

"Mittens has been slain" laughed so hard at that. Levy talks about Mittens like he is talking about a fire breathing dragon that descended from the moon
I mean that cat took his soul
Try playing against it
It literally destroyed hikaru
mittens the dragon
"The Ring has been destroyed."
Watching stockfish play is like watching a single player game of chess. Every move the opponent makes plays into its hand.
@Correct I mean, _technically_ he is abusing Mittens.
But at the same time, gtfo
I swear Stockfish has the ability to understand human emotions and understands how to humiliate opponents
Stockfish: And I promote the pawn to a rook.
Mittens: Why? Isn't a queen better?
Stockfish: I'm going to win anyway.
@@eruantien9932 And with the same amount of moves.
@@ChraanApparently it's M4 for queening, and M6 for Rook.
That fish avenged his brothers
I love how passionate Levy is about chess, dude i don't understand half depth of each move, just see some checks and attacks, but i really love how he narrates as if his life where on the line. As if each move were a piece of art. Dude i love it
Watching nerds spazz out about nerd things is funny
Completely agree and he makes it so entertaining
Fr, halfway I forgot I was watching a board with pieces on it
That last checkmate was just straight up nasty.... Mittens was slain! 💀
Spayed at least. No Mittens kittens.
*slain.
@@Thelaretus Thanks.... Totally missed that. 👍
This felt good to watch. Mittens not only beat me yesterday, it teased and humiliated me. It kept playing one move away from a backrank mate. Any human would've made a pawn move for safety, but Mittens just knew I wasn't ever gonna get the move done. It was sadism.
🙃
We aint getting outta mittens wrath 💀

What makes someone "that guy"?
It's unacceptable to go into pretty much any community and say "Don't use your local terms, you MUST use the terms I approve of in my country!" But because Americans (as well as countries like England) use the word "soccer", it's totally fine to be a dick about it?

When I watched this my brain cells left and entered with friend's
I love This horsie is gonna go for a square shaped walk I'm using that forever
Right there is where it all begins... keep watching more chess videos and you will fall down the inevitable, toxic trap of Chess! Welcome to the Cult.

is it a cat if it comes in draw with some of the best chess players (hikaru)
Cats are aliens after all
Wow! Unbelievable.
when stockfish heard mittens was taking over
OH NO YOU DONT
Imagine Mittens comes back with a second form
She's still a kitty after all
Imagine mittens with >1 elo 😳
Has 2 elo
Phase 2
0 elo
Stockfish really saw all the attention mittens was getting and said "lol that's cute"
thats cute, now imma step in and stop it
The stockfish eval bar for the stockfish game was hilarious
There the thing I noticed tooo! What meaning is there is stockfish is evaluating the position when both algorithms have different outlook to a better position. That just made no sense
It does make sense to use the better engine, which Stockfish has convincingly proven to be.
@@divyarajnakum4593 you dare question stockfish's self evaluation
WASM Stockfish running in browser is significantly weaker then AVX2 Stockfish running natively.
@@zeus000.00 Wouldn't that just make it significantly slower?
