Right? Recently gotten back into chess and him explaining the strategies in real-time has helped me shake off some of my rust lol. Even becomes a fun game for me to pause and evaluate to see if I can find the same ideas, if not better.
@@iwantcheckmate This is a huge factor. For starters, given the circumstances it would actually be better for it to try to avoid trades at all costs and make the position as complicated as possible... But it would have to know that he's playing a human.
@@iwantcheckmate This is where some engines have contempt factor to be used against weaker engines or humans. There it will make moves knowing it will out-calculate you and make the game much sharper to make you blunder. Higher contempt modes may make some engines play even losing moves that are hard to counter for much weaker engines or humans
@@ckingpro Wonder if this factor could be calculated and adjusted by assessing the previous move accuracy and adjusting the opponent move calculations to match.
Even against a 3800+ ELO engine, if you start with only two extra heavy pieces you can just force enough trades so that it has no material left to apply its positional prescience to annihilate you. A fun thought experiment, but not as wildly impossible as one might hope, i.e. that you still couldn't beat it with six extra rooks.
@@veedrac to be fair, that network is trained against grandmasters playing against engines playing odds. That said, it is exciting and I can't wait for the network to be made available. I want to see how it fairs with the Halloween gambit against me
Damn you explain your moves nicely (even it loses to stockfish) but still you create videos like these every move and ideas explanations and some stuff
@@iwantcheckmateAlso your performance last video is insane. Idk if you got lucky or smth but that's like Magnus+ level, I'm not sure even Magnus would be able to hold off stockfish for that long
22:11 instead of playing rook takes a7 (I think that’s what that is) couldn’t you have played rook to g8, if king moves you take the rook, if rook takes you fork
Another impressive peformance once again. Its like your used to facing stockfish now lol also 5:31 aaaaaaaaa i could feel the pain through the screen when i saw this move
Hey can you play against bots in bullet because I think that they're much stronger in bullet I'm 1500 in rapid and the 1200 in bullet and I can't even beat 800 in bullet so am I just going crazy or are they much stronger?
New viewer. Love these videos. Can you consider adding the eval bar for the viewers? For that second game, it would be very interesting to see how the eval bar changes each move. Of course, play without it but if its easy to add it in after the match for the viewers benefit, it would be cool
18:00 is bishop to H3 cursed here? Defended by the knight and pinned to the king so it should be a free piece? I always miss these things during games, I guess it would be a trade with the queen eventually?
How about how many X does stockfish need to beat the magnus bot? not as in additional figures but similarly to what you did with pawns against martin, 1 pawn, 2 pawns, 3 pawns...
At 20:15 Qg5 would have traded his Queen, Bishop, and Rook for your Queen, 2 Rooks, and Knight leaving you up a full Rook with Stockfish only having pawns remaining, an easy win.
One thing that I’m wondering is that whether computer or super GM would be harder to play against in this type of challenge. Computers are obviously stronger by a lot but at least on shorter time formats GM might be able to trick you easier. Computers don’t know such thing as trick or cheesing
Very true, I’d be willing to bet a grandmaster would give me a harder time since they would be playing conceptually just like me, but much stronger than me
Another idea you could try: how many bonus moves do you need to beat Stockfish. Rather than starting with extra material, you start with extra development (1 bonus move would mean you start with your pawn already on d4 instead of d2)
Magnus Carlsen beat other grandmasters whilst spending the first 5 or so moves swapping his king and queen into each others squares. I think Stockfisch would still crush
Did anyone else think about sacrificing the rook to get a fork between the king and the rook at 22:00 ? It would have been 5 pawns against 6 pawns, a rook and a knight
I've always suspected Stockfish's openings get thrown off when the player has a non-standard board. It of course has never seen a rook move as the first move in the game..
Hear me out, you play against stockfish but you have a spinner. The spinner can have stuff like extra moves, lost moves, hints from stockfish (for interchangeable amounts of moves) and most importantly.. for Martin to make a move for you
21:21 he had to trade queens otherwise after Qf7 you had an amazing queen sacrifice Qxd8+ and after he recaptures you take the bishop forking the king and the queen so at the end you would have won a bishop. Also at 22:00 you could have played Rg8+ forcing him to take the rook and then after Ne7+ you would have basically forced the rook trade. I'm kinda surprised I saw these two lines since I'm a miserable 1500-1600 lol
Turns, so if you make a move that forces a specific response then you kept the tempo because you made a move that forced another move, so it’s back to you

I'm surprised at how possible it becomes with just two extra rooks.
Stockfish is also assuming I’m going to play the absolute best moves (which I don’t) so it plays more reserved than a human might

He sacrifices.... THE ROOKS! ive been binging your content man, i love this channel
THE ROOOOOK and thank you! I appreciate that!

Try playing two rooks up against LeelaPieceOdds before declaring what you ‘can just’ do ;).
@veedrac I'll wait for this guy to do it, since he's making good content of this sort of thing.
@@veedrac to be fair, that network is trained against grandmasters playing against engines playing odds. That said, it is exciting and I can't wait for the network to be made available. I want to see how it fairs with the Halloween gambit against me
@@ckingpro you’re cooked
@@ckingpro Engines can win absolutely anything except, possibly, the duras gambit against a human. You would still need heavy odds.
"It's not risky if I think it works" are definitely words to live by
Only 2 extra rooks to beat stockfish is crazy! If it were me all my pawns would have to be rooks for me to win lol
LOL
Yeah I'd need to start with two rooks on each square to have a chance of even drawing.
I actually tried it with 2 extra queens + 1 pawn yesterday and I lost multiple times in a row before I won T.T
Damn you explain your moves nicely (even it loses to stockfish) but still you create videos like these every move and ideas explanations and some stuff
I appreciate that! :)
earlier today I was playing against stockfish. I was in a winning endgame & I was so proud of myself but then I relized I selected stockfish level 6
That’s still good! But not maybe as revolutionary as beating the best bot ever haha
@@iwantcheckmateStockfish 6 is 1900😅
@@iwantcheckmateAlso your performance last video is insane. Idk if you got lucky or smth but that's like Magnus+ level, I'm not sure even Magnus would be able to hold off stockfish for that long
Love your videos. Could you put an evaluation bar next time?
This has been requested before, so I’ll consider it for a future video for sure. Thank you for the feedback :)
Easily my favorite chess chanel, love your videos man youre going places with this
I appreciate the kind comment! More to come!
At 22:13 you had a nice tactic Rg8, after Stockfish plays Rxg8, you have Ne7 forking the King and Rook which leaves you a Rook, Knight, and Pawn up.
How many pawns to beat stockfish next
that one's gonna be an hour long
22:11 instead of playing rook takes a7 (I think that’s what that is) couldn’t you have played rook to g8, if king moves you take the rook, if rook takes you fork
Another impressive peformance once again. Its like your used to facing stockfish now lol also 5:31 aaaaaaaaa i could feel the pain through the screen when i saw this move
Hahaha I don’t think I’m getting stronger but I’m more used to how to play against the engines. And yes holy moly that was such a bad move
After getting you recommended for a few videos i had to ask why the hell i wasn't subscribed. Love this channel
Edit: Christ i sound like a bot lmao
😭 Thanks for subbing and hahahaha
At 11:03 why did you not play queen d2?
because that hangs the queen to the knight.
I'd love to watch extra bishops, but doing extra knights against stockfish would be even more hype
Probably super confusing as well but I’m ready 😎
Hey can you play against bots in bullet because I think that they're much stronger in bullet I'm 1500 in rapid and the 1200 in bullet and I can't even beat 800 in bullet so am I just going crazy or are they much stronger?
That’s a great idea! Esp since I think of myself as a bullet player… future video!!!
New viewer. Love these videos. Can you consider adding the eval bar for the viewers? For that second game, it would be very interesting to see how the eval bar changes each move. Of course, play without it but if its easy to add it in after the match for the viewers benefit, it would be cool
Yes! That’s something that’s been requested so I’ll have to start incorporating it
you should play with king odds
I wish I could! But it tells me illegal position :(
at 20:17 you said “up the exchange” but you would be up the exchange and up a rook
It's nice to see that at some point we all get hit with the queen and king fork.
Hahahaha very true
18:00 is bishop to H3 cursed here? Defended by the knight and pinned to the king so it should be a free piece? I always miss these things during games, I guess it would be a trade with the queen eventually?
Bh3 would’ve been good here I think!
How many extra pawns to beat Stockfish? Might be an idea for a video too
Love your vids :)
Great idea! And thank you :)
@@iwantcheckmate 72 pawn :))
I real the tile as "How many rocks to beat stockfish" for a second
A good question no less…
A good video would be "how many extra pawns to beat stockfish?" I imagine two entire rows of pawns c:
That’s definetly not enough
If you have only pawns probably 6 rows
Hahaha yes this and also Magnus
@@iwantcheckmate u need to do a Vedieo of you beating mittens without London not white as black
If it makes you feel any better it took a lot more than two extra rooks for me to beat stockfish
How to you make these type of videos?seems fun 😅😅
How about how many X does stockfish need to beat the magnus bot? not as in additional figures but similarly to what you did with pawns against martin, 1 pawn, 2 pawns, 3 pawns...
You should do a vid with the creators bot maybe 🤔
Good idea!
At 20:15 Qg5 would have traded his Queen, Bishop, and Rook for your Queen, 2 Rooks, and Knight leaving you up a full Rook with Stockfish only having pawns remaining, an easy win.
Maybe not the "strongest chess player ever" but you definitely got some skills in this game IWC!
Thanks! Road to WCC series soon? 🫣
did you get a new mic? you sound great
I appreciate that! It’s the same mic but I watched a very long tutorial on how to optimize the settings 😅
Thank you for blessing me with a video today Mr checkmate! Keep it up, I love these videos so much

Another good video I have never seen a bad video from u thank you for making content
And thank you for the consistent support 🙏
Another idea you could try: how many bonus moves do you need to beat Stockfish.
Rather than starting with extra material, you start with extra development (1 bonus move would mean you start with your pawn already on d4 instead of d2)
Well, this idea would have to happen in less than 3 moves. If he plays as white, getting the Italian setup = mate in 1
Magnus Carlsen beat other grandmasters whilst spending the first 5 or so moves swapping his king and queen into each others squares. I think Stockfisch would still crush
This is a great idea
Now, should Stockfish turn sentient and go after you for making it play with Martin against you, keep 2 extra rooks in your pocket.
Please do a video and play vs martinfish and replace a pown to a qween until you lose
Did anyone else think about sacrificing the rook to get a fork between the king and the rook at 22:00 ? It would have been 5 pawns against 6 pawns, a rook and a knight
That’s super creative! Nice find :)
21:22 after Qg6 from white Qf7 doesn't work because of Qxd8+ and after Kxd8 Rxf8 wins the queen back. This makes the queen trade forced
Woah I hadn’t seen that line. Great find!
THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK
THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOK
You better pray Stockfish doesn’t become sentient, none of us are ready for that *endgame*😂
That’s my nightmare… I’ll need the queens to become sentient too to back me up…
I see no issue. Other than fighting an unbeatable engine, but ynkow…
Hahaha yes, a very minor issue 😌
I've always suspected Stockfish's openings get thrown off when the player has a non-standard board. It of course has never seen a rook move as the first move in the game..
Hahaha that would make perfect sense
Do how many rooks for Martin to beat Stockfish
all queens isn't enough
Can’t wait for all move types speedrun 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Yes!! Good idea
Play vs a subscriber and play only London opening or Indian opening until you win
6.25k subs yoooo that's fast
Hahaha thank you!
I love you playing chess as I suck at it and I like people who are better than me
Thank you for watching :)
@@iwantcheckmateI always blunder my pieces
Hear me out, you play against stockfish but you have a spinner. The spinner can have stuff like extra moves, lost moves, hints from stockfish (for interchangeable amounts of moves) and most importantly.. for Martin to make a move for you
I was liking this idea until I saw I had to side with Martin… now I’m loving this idea. Martin team-up channel arc hahaha
21:21 he had to trade queens otherwise after Qf7 you had an amazing queen sacrifice Qxd8+ and after he recaptures you take the bishop forking the king and the queen so at the end you would have won a bishop.
Also at 22:00 you could have played Rg8+ forcing him to take the rook and then after Ne7+ you would have basically forced the rook trade.
I'm kinda surprised I saw these two lines since I'm a miserable 1500-1600 lol
Really good insight! Thanks for the analysis :)
I am a subscriber from the 1000 I am so luky
Thanks for being here! :D
You should try again with one if you failed
Seems like you win when you're up 8 points of material
You always play best move in this game and vs stokfish and martinfish
I played vs stokfish and replace all pawns and an extra layer to win you so crazy how did you did that I am 2034
What's tempo
Turns, so if you make a move that forces a specific response then you kept the tempo because you made a move that forced another move, so it’s back to you
@@iwantcheckmateThat's what I thought it was, but in a different video, you made a waiting move and still said tempo
i dare you to play a game with the white pieces and dont play the london.
a4 it is then :D
The arrows go away if you press alt+f4
Hahaha troll
Ladders mate 🎉
The best kind of mate
Should hv let fish play first tbh
8:51 famous last words
Sigh, I jinxed it
Apology not accepted. I saw it before it moved the knight lol
LOL I knew I was blind
Every move is a bad move 😂😂
Nice Video (didnt Even watch it)im watching it Right now First Like then watch
