Its crazy that it happened in a high level tournament just a bit after it was played by the engine, shows how quickly the top guys pick up on these computer ideas
The craziest opening idea I saw was played by Leela Zero against Komodo(or maybe Stoofvless), where Leela (with white) played g3 and gave up the rook for nothing! Leela proceeded to win that game.
yeah that's the thing about those ai's. sometimes they do really ridiculous shit not even the engines would do. like moving the same piece over and over or putting the knight on an a or h square or just sacrificing stuff for nothing and then somehow 200 moves later they gain advantage from that. it's weird af.
15:48 "The queen is hanging, the rook is hanging, the knight is an idiot, and the bishop is trapped." Oh my god that was absolutely hilarious! White just doomed all of black's pieces and told the knight to know it's place, trash!
Chess is such a crazy game. I have the impression sometimes that I “get” what is going on. I mean I know the pieces and how they move.

@@Teritus911 Well. We can't *fully* understand every nuance, but super GMs watching the analysis do get the gist of most of the things it does. It's just not something they'd ever play because the engine sees way better than them and can correctly analyze a position 25 moves deep as winning due to a deep positional understanding. It's like an 1800 analyzing GM games. It's not like the concepts are incomprehensible to them. It's just waaaaaay above their level and they wouldn't come up with a lot of the moves on their own, or might even see the moves but not find an advantage the better player would (i.e. missed tactics, positional binds etc.)

I’d like to see you play engines with piece(es) odds…. I think it could be instructive to see what you think is going to happen vs. reality, plus it’d be funny
Idea for another video in this series: get the position at 4:25 with white against Stockfish, play the Queen move and castle, and let's see how black replies!
Yeah but then he would still have to play the rest of the game, And he’d lose, Unless you’d like to plug another engine in again as white but that wouldn’t be the same as the computers actually playing against eachother
I knew long ago about Short-Timman, a great king walk, but just recently I looked at Spassky-Larsen which seemed very placid and then a king walk up the board and Spassky won. These things happen.
I often wonder if the real engine metagame is to avoid the other engine playing it into a draw, and consequently, give a little room to push it into aggression, so that the stronger engine can take advantage and get a victory instead of a draw. I'm no where near good enough to know at all... But if that is what's going on, this is getting into the territory where the engines are playing something more akin to poker with each other where bluffing is starting to matter a bit in a sense.
@@psymar Right, but I think because the computers operate on a higher level than GM's their tactical efforts to bluff others into aggression play as just tactical errors to the level of play the engines are at. In other words, they are doing the "same strategy" but at a different level which in a sense is a meta progression of what GM's have already done, but still different because of the level of play... Maybe... Maybe not, again I'm not qualified lol. I can't tell if this is a critique of what I proposed or not, and it could be a justified critique for all I know XD.
My 300 elo ass has personally thought about a "Battle King"opening that gets the king active early and makes it somewhat threatening. The idea being that you get the utility of an active endgame king gobbling pieces early

You are aware the engines are not smart? They just try every single possible moveorder and evaluate the outcome. They don't know why a move is good eighter.
@@Casa-de-hongos I’m not terribly sure and I’m not terribly knowledgeable on AI learning, but I think stockfish doesn’t test every possible outcome it instead uses alpha beta pruning. Especially in chess where there are so many variables, alpha beta pruning saves the AI time by not going through every single possible move and opponent response but instead testing only moves and outcomes that could be beneficial for it, though not too sure on how it determines beneficial outcomes

I've been watching most of your videos for quite some time, and for some reason this one was the most enjoyable ever. I'm glad you know the Dutch-speaking Belgians are Flemish. Stoofvlees is a word for a really delicous dish around here. It comes from stoof (=like a stove) and vlees (=meat). I'm sure it looks disgusting if you don't know it buts it's really good.
Hey levi I just realised, stockfish saved 2or3 moves by playing Rc1 and then walking king to b1... by removing queen and long castling in traditional way and then playing Kb1 and Rc1 is 2moves slower.. engines are insane
I'm grateful that you release content on a daily basis Levy. Seriously I cannot imagine the amount of work you put in but damn, it feels good when I see a new video with a crazy thumbnail popping in my recommandations. Your iroquois and your mustache are the alpha and omega of the chess world.
The name Stoofvlees always cracks me up (beef stew). Btw stoof is pronounced like boat and vlees like hail. So Stoafvlais kind of phonetically... Good luck :)
To me it always reminds me of the time Craig Ferguson was told about the word around ten years ago and it became a running gag for a full episode. It's at the start of the "Some bits of Craig Ferguson cracking up!" compilation.
I fell off of chess for like almost a year and this is the first Gothamchess video I’m watching since mid-2021… I’m so glad Levy’s freak-outs at insane things done on chessboards are still as funny as ever 😂
Love the exposure you're giving engines and their incredible ideas that GMs are putting into practice these days! Totally get that it's niche audience content to some extent, but every now and then (as you do) it's appreciated. I don't see this from Antonio (except once or twice years ago) and Kingcrusher loved Leela content only because he hates Stockfish and thought she'd de-throne it, and when SF incorporated NN tech from some clever shogi programmers (ironically, not from Alpha Zero papers like Leela's modeled after) - that's when SF took off like a rocket ship in elo and crushed Leela. So glad to see the inspiration behind so many GM games gets the light of day from a big content creator - couldn't ask for a better one too!
I actually wonder how different chess would be if computer prep wasn't as good as it is today. I sort of wish I could peek into a different universe to see how openings would look like if people got to refute new ideas by themselves.
@@AlexDingsYea, but he would've wanted to see how modern chess would've changed "naturally" by humans in the 21st century, if there weren't computers more powerful than humans.
I didn't like that the other Chess AI battles used established openings then saw who was strongest. I want to see a completely novel opening that supercomputers come up with that changes chess forever
If you don't feed it some opening moves they will play the same openings they deem best all the time and you wouldn't see these new ideas. I don't remember but I think engines tend to play berlin as the first variation
Love this topic for a video, as a Benoni player that last game was fascinating, I love seeing engines play openings I care about, it makes me feel like the theory is really alive. great stuff.

Crypto currency and NFTs will outsmart the banking system in the nearest future serving as a global fiat. $28,000 just in two weeks, Angela Cole Carr you are so amazing
I am a ICCF Grand Master, so to understand engines, you must do the following method You must analyse (What are the 4 best moves ?) Then you think what are the 4 best responses of the other side to each move ? Then you self analysis which position will give your oponent less activity, less playable options, then you understand the engine plays. If you use this technique, no kidding, you can find all engine strong moves of the opening and (simple) middlegames On game 1 those king moves were also complete logical, because any pawn break to try to explore the white king would result in material gain for white
That’s actually very true when we think about it. If there is no specific way of breaking through for black and as white you gotta consolidate a little bit more to get a nicer position, the king moves make more sense now. Cuz I imagine playing a slightly different way like castling or moving the queen w.e. would alternate the position too much and it could give black some attacking chances. Moving the king was perfectly reasonable because there was no direct way for both sides tbh.
That second variation I actually play myself, was so cool to see you feature it! Very fun line, especially in classical because you have much more time to think on cool tactics for mate
3:39 *"I'm out here trying to teach beginners not to make multiple piece moves in the opening, castle early and then stockfish here is like 'I'm the best thing that ever existed...' "* 😆😅🤣😂🤣😁😆😂😅😆😂😆😁😅😁😂
Who knows how deep the engines understands the positions? Those king movements probably serve some purpose, preventing something we don't see play out.
The first four ideas were very specific ideas supported by tactics in the background. The last one was more positional. It brings a lot of doubt into black’s position if white can just absorb black’s queenside counterplay.
I love how everybody gives these robots human ai bodies when in reality stockfish would just be a trash talking bass fish
Tbh, It wouldn't be a talking bass fish, but would be undefinable and will sound like soome weird code, would also look a bit weird.

Hey levi I just realised, stockfish saved 2or3 moves by playing Rc1 and then walking king to b1... by removing queen and long castling in traditional way and then playing Kb1 and Rc1 is 2moves slower.. engines are insane
I'm grateful that you release content on a daily basis Levy. Seriously I cannot imagine the amount of work you put in but damn, it feels good when I see a new video with a crazy thumbnail popping in my recommandations. Your iroquois and your mustache are the alpha and omega of the chess world.
The name Stoofvlees always cracks me up (beef stew). Btw stoof is pronounced like boat and vlees like hail. So Stoafvlais kind of phonetically... Good luck :)
To me it always reminds me of the time Craig Ferguson was told about the word around ten years ago and it became a running gag for a full episode. It's at the start of the "Some bits of Craig Ferguson cracking up!" compilation.
I fell off of chess for like almost a year and this is the first Gothamchess video I’m watching since mid-2021… I’m so glad Levy’s freak-outs at insane things done on chessboards are still as funny as ever 😂
Love the exposure you're giving engines and their incredible ideas that GMs are putting into practice these days! Totally get that it's niche audience content to some extent, but every now and then (as you do) it's appreciated. I don't see this from Antonio (except once or twice years ago) and Kingcrusher loved Leela content only because he hates Stockfish and thought she'd de-throne it, and when SF incorporated NN tech from some clever shogi programmers (ironically, not from Alpha Zero papers like Leela's modeled after) - that's when SF took off like a rocket ship in elo and crushed Leela. So glad to see the inspiration behind so many GM games gets the light of day from a big content creator - couldn't ask for a better one too!
I like how I immediately recognized the Jorden van Foreest game as soon as Kd2 was played.
In the third game: 12:35
In the fourth game: 20:18
6:24
Van Foreest took it personally
I actually wonder how different chess would be if computer prep wasn't as good as it is today. I sort of wish I could peek into a different universe to see how openings would look like if people got to refute new ideas by themselves.
Well, you only need to peek into the entire 20th century 🙂
Chess has been played without computers forever.
@@AlexDingsYea, but he would've wanted to see how modern chess would've changed "naturally" by humans in the 21st century, if there weren't computers more powerful than humans.
25:07 somewhere out there Eric Rosen squeals in delight
I didn't like that the other Chess AI battles used established openings then saw who was strongest. I want to see a completely novel opening that supercomputers come up with that changes chess forever
Do you still get hate?
But then you would just get one game out of every pair of engines. Also not sure if it would result in something to novel.
@@barackobamafanclub9954 yes. The Pokemon community only gets more and more toxic
If you don't feed it some opening moves they will play the same openings they deem best all the time and you wouldn't see these new ideas.
I don't remember but I think engines tend to play berlin as the first variation
Probably Ruy López is everything we would ever see
What openings do engines choose to use when they aren't pre-programmed to use specific ones?
I’ve heard Berlin but not sure
Berlin, Najdorf, and Catalan are the most common engine openings.
honestly, at this point Stockfish is just meming on us.
Sure as God does look like it
24:05 Bro wtf is that rook shuffle what? I'm suprised Levy missed that
Levy: no human in history will play Kc2 Kb1
Meanwhile Jorden:
I think Stockfish had the perfect setup and the kingmoves were placeholder.
Magnus: I am 2860 Elo, and perhaps the best in chess!
Stockfish: Hold my Fish.
Love this topic for a video, as a Benoni player that last game was fascinating, I love seeing engines play openings I care about, it makes me feel like the theory is really alive. great stuff.
chess is the perfect game. no updates in like 2000 years and it still has more players than the population of the us
The rules of chess have changed a lot within the last 2000 years. Try more like 200 years.
@@JezreM i meant to type 200 years but my keyboard is kinda messed up cause i spilled juice on it so it added the extraa zero and i was just too lazy to go back and change it afterwards
Stoofvlees is indeed Flemish/Dutch, I don't know for sure it's also called like that in the Netherlands, but in Flanders that's what we call beef stew
First
you were the first
Computer: *Knows enough to know that that's a great move.*
Levy: *Knows enough to Wonder why that's a great move.*
Me: *Knows nothing. Wonders nothing. Nods along as if I understand what Levy is talking about.*

Respect to the chad who called their engine ‘stoofvlees’
12:19 This is one of the time when Levy legit sounds like an unconscious rapper 🤘
26:13 I thought he was going to say "Leela and Stitch" 😂

The Bishops be like hey... wanna join our corner?
I am a ICCF Grand Master, so to understand engines, you must do the following method
You must analyse (What are the 4 best moves ?)
Then you think what are the 4 best responses of the other side to each move ?
Then you self analysis which position will give your oponent less activity, less playable options, then you understand the engine plays.
If you use this technique, no kidding, you can find all engine strong moves of the opening and (simple) middlegames
On game 1 those king moves were also complete logical, because any pawn break to try to explore the white king would result in material gain for white
That’s actually very true when we think about it. If there is no specific way of breaking through for black and as white you gotta consolidate a little bit more to get a nicer position, the king moves make more sense now.
Cuz I imagine playing a slightly different way like castling or moving the queen w.e. would alternate the position too much and it could give black some attacking chances.
Moving the king was perfectly reasonable because there was no direct way for both sides tbh.
When it’s Stockfish: GENIUS PIECE SACRIFICE
When it’s me: BLUNDERED A FULL PIECE
been playing 4 months. Level 500 rapid. Love your work Levy. keep it up dude. I really enjoy these
That second variation I actually play myself, was so cool to see you feature it! Very fun line, especially in classical because you have much more time to think on cool tactics for mate
Bobby played those multiple king moves at the beginning once or twice
Only twice have I managed to break 3000, so I am very envious of both of these engines.
3:39 *"I'm out here trying to teach beginners not to make multiple piece moves in the opening, castle early and then stockfish here is like 'I'm the best thing that ever existed...' "*
😆😅🤣😂🤣😁😆😂😅😆😂😆😁😅😁😂

I remember in this position white played Kd2 in yesterday's video.
Who knows how deep the engines understands the positions? Those king movements probably serve some purpose, preventing something we don't see play out.
its interesting how engines dislike castling, like they want to throw everything they can
The first four ideas were very specific ideas supported by tactics in the background. The last one was more positional. It brings a lot of doubt into black’s position if white can just absorb black’s queenside counterplay.
3:24 I was thinking that Stockfish would short castle as the insane move.
19:08 Was thought to be legitimately impossible*
