      "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."

  • @Alg3br4
    @Alg3br4 Год назад +34

    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?

      @0Mr.Geek0 Год назад

      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.
