@@stevejohn7459great job man that's crazy.. best I could get was a draw with 97 percent, infact mittens was better with -1 in that but I somehow held off. He literally got three brilliants..
you should try to play a classical chess match against mittens, where she plays a normal blitz match and you have 1hour and 30 minutes + 30 sec per move + additional time after move 40 just like FIDE rules
if only. how many games do you think i can resign in a minute? 30? × 60 min = 1800/ hour × 10 hour shift = 18000 × 100 employees = 1,800,000/ day × 100 days = 1.8 billion "To date, statistics indicate that there are over 220 million pet cats around the globe. On the other hand, there are at least 480 million street cats worldwide. So, there should be over *600 million* cats in the world in total." so yeah if what you said were true 100 people working 10 hour shifts a day could basically genocide the entire cat race in about a month. ah well, its a nice thought
also its funnier when you know my cat is right here laying on me as i typed that. dumb little bastard doesnt even know. wouldnt have clawed my damn leg begging for treats earlier if he knew what was good for him
this Mittens might be worse than the last one, not a crazy theory given they constantly fudge her rating. also depends on the opening. if Hikaru played a Ruy Lopez against Mittens he’d be completely lost at move 26, but he played a solid opening and drew. my guess is it’s around 3000, but it’s also a bot and won’t take many risks to win since it doesn’t understand it’s opponent is weaker.
I did the same thing but he lasted until move 83 where he had 1 queen, 2 rooks, and 4 pawns vs stockfish 16 with 1 queen, 2 bishops, a past pawn and 3 other pawns. This happened when stockfish played the Halloween Gambit mainlines!
Based off of the rating of your opponent I find their performance…. Interesting. Now I’m not saying anything but statistically the chances of this ELO performing with such high play would be found interesting by anyone.
I have looked at the first game on the analysis board, as Mittens' play during 3:27-3:31 felt wrong to me. Lo and behold, she had actually blundered! Mittens should've played 16. ...bxc6 immediately. Though down a pawn, she would've had some compensation, with pressure against the weak e3-pawn as well as attacking chances against your king. Instead, she played Qxe3+ first, and after Kh1 bxc6, she managed to win the pawn back. However, my first thought here was that her queen was somehow getting stuck in the middle of the board. Indeed, the engine has confirmed my suspicion: On move 18, it found the incredible moves Bd4 and Nd4, both of which trap the black queen! 18. Bd4 is the simpler and more forcing option, since it attacks the queen directly. Here are a few sample lines after 18. ...exd4 19. Rf3 Ng4 20. Rxe3: - 20. ...Nxe3 21. Qc1 Nxg2 22. Kxg2. The pawns on c6 and d4 are hanging, and both will fall shortly. Then, white can push P on the queenside to win. :^) - 20. ...dxe3 21. Qc1. Here, c6 is hanging, and e3 is under attack (white threatens to remove the defender with h3 next turn). Either pawn will fall, and black's position will collapse as a result. - 20. ...Nf2+ 21. Kg1 Nxd1 22. Rxe6. This endgame is completely winning for white. Material is even, but the black pawns on c6, d6 and d4, as well as the knight on d1 are all hanging at the same time. All those pawns will fall in quick succession, and white can then push P once again. Instead of justifying her in-between check with 17. ...bxc6, Mittens should've corrected her mistake by either retreating her queen or playing Ng4. Regardless, after 18. cxb7, she would've ended up 1-2 pawns down in a worse position, with all your queenside passed pawns marching up the board. It seems like Mittens went in blindly to equalize material and _then_ start an attack, not realizing the tactical dangers around her queen. Would this analysis change your verdict about her current strength?
@@timber_hearthian8499 but Hikaru draws the second game with black, showing that Mittens is not super strong and can easily win all games to humans. I don't think Hikaru can draw 3200 classic elo bot (just like a 2400 IM can't draw 2780 Hikaru in classic), even with the drawing technique shown in the video. I think 2900-3000 elo is a fair guess.
I start playing chess about a week, and just imagine, i really think Mittens is 1 mmr bot, i just want to try some opening and got just destroyed. thanks kitty
Yeah, Stockfish 15 to be exact! Stockfish 16 nearly drew with Mittens but found a series of checks and sacrifices that lead to a hard but a win for white with 1 queen, 2 bishops, 4 pawns and one of those pawns is a past pawn vs Mittens with 1 queen, 2 rooks, 4 pawns.
I beat it and it said mittens played like a 900 elo bot despite having an 95% accuracy compared to to my 97.6% accuracy and the bot played brilliant in the beginning, middle and end games compared to my Brilliant move in the middle game, unfortunately he didn’t take the “free” bishop and I beat it with 1 queen, 2 bishops vs Mitten’s army of 1 queen and 2 rooks!
