I'm planning to study this checkmate too. This video should be a good head start. At move 7, first you played Rd5 then when the same position recurred, Rd4. Both checkmate equally fast apparently.

i think a lot of his success comes from players undermining this opening due to it being very openly criticized. he has a solid attacking fundamental, but also relies heavily on the crutch of playing what is familiar to him. faced against a truly principled opponent, this opening will work 1 out of 10 times. it leaves too many pieces with little to no purpose, and weakens key squares that a sharp opponent would quickly capitalize off of. i will say i'm surprised he could reach 1900 playing like this, but the opening is extremely gimmicky and relies on opponents making mistakes. this opponent took on b2, opening a file for tyler's rooks, which i would already question doing in a position where you've castled queenside. however, if he were to retreat immediately after, the position would be more than defendable. taking c2 was greed, and e4 was pure gluttony. with 16 points worth of pieces sitting in the back 3 rows, taking pawn after pawn is only going to give your opponent consolidation time. the game is not won by he who takes more pieces, but he who coordinates his pieces best. neither player did the latter well, but black's greed allowed white ample compensation for such a dubious opening.

I feel like Qb6 wasn't a good move, even though it ended up being productive. The queen should've stayed near the middle to help in a catastrophe, but also because Tyler's opening is easier to tackle with slower methodical positional moves like throwing pawns at his kingside potentially. The opponent played very messy chess, and greedy aswell. Aggressive chess is fun, but piece activity is something that people NEED to focus on. I've screwed it up a lot, but when it's going well, it can easily end up going great.

I mean, just look at the engine output , 5 moves in he's -1 , go further it's even worse...I think tyler1 is just a good player playing with a handicap.

Hehe I love how Tyler plays dogs hit openings, its always mentioned in videos about his play (I know nothing about chess, come from league to watch the grinder).

@zenchess Ай бұрын

In the case of this game, it was mostly because his opponent got a bit careless, but before that tyler was much worse off. I haven't seen many tyler1 games, but it's very possible that he's just decently strong but basically plays with a handicap. In this game he was -1 according to the chess engine after like 5 moves, imagine what he could do if he started out his games equal or better because he had some opening knowledge! I have heard that tyler grinds a lot of tactics and that is a really good way to improve. That's probably what's carrying him.

@@zenchess But how many players have prepared against the cow opening? There must be an advantage to playing a un-studied opening that an objective evaluation bar can't see. A -1 in charted lines is a lot bigger deal then a -1 in uncharted lines.

@joddle23 Ай бұрын

@@devinfleenor3188 there is merit to this line of thinking, but the cow opening specifically is just too much of a handicap. i would say an opening that's offbeat and objectively dubious but has surprise value and concrete lines that you can prepare with an engine is a much better try. for example, consider dubov's 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.d4 exd4 6.b4!? which is not great for white if black is prepared, but if black isn't prepared they can get into trouble (dubov-karjakin). the cow is more comprable to 1.g4 where you'll occasionally catch people off guard if they're careless or if they go for too much, but if black just plays sensibly they can achieve a risk free advantage. also keep in mind that in blitz, there's so many blunders anyway that players can recover from bad openings. i'm rated around 2550-2600 on lichess, and if i open every blitz game with 1.g4 I can probably keep my blitz rating to within -200 of where it is now, and maybe even win against some good players, but it won't be because of the opening!

@zenchess Жыл бұрын

You get quicker visual feedback of moves in nibbler than you do in any normal gui. You can even use it with stockfish, but it will only show the top 3 moves I believe. Leela is also a very strong engine, even though it is weaker than stockfish in some positions it is actually stronger.

@IN-pr3lw Жыл бұрын

@@zenchess If it's stronger in some positions then why is stockfish always rated higher? And does that mean Leela has the potential to be an overall better engine than Stockfish?

@zenchess Жыл бұрын

I think serious chess professionals will use both leela and stockfish to evaluate a position. Stockfish is in general stronger but leela can be stronger in certain positions. However when analyzing a game or exploring chess like I showed it really doesn't matter all that much which engine you're using if they're high -rated engines like stockfish and leela. The main benefit of the nibbler gui is you get very quick feedback on the actual board of what the best moves are so you can very quickly learn the positions. You could do the same with stockfish loaded in nibbler you would just see the top 3 moves instead of all the extra moves with leela. I have no idea what the future will hold for leela vs stockfish, I think stockfish is ahead in the race but you never know what will happen. There were times when I think leela was actually stronger but it might have been a few years. The reason an engine can be stronger in a specific position than a higher rated engine is because it may have a better understanding of certain positions, but in general calculate worse. In the early days of neural network engines they might play very strong but miss a mate in 4 because they didn't calculate so well.

By the way you can use stockfish in nibbler, you will just be limited in the number of move suggestions you get (I think somewhere around 3 arrows drawn and not all the features of nibbler but still easier to use than raw variations in chessbase).

@Zenchess I've just downloaded Nibbler today. So far it seems like a wonderful piece of software. It just works and it's easy to use. Yes, Stockfish on CPU would probably be quite strong on my machine. I downloaded and built Leela because of the more human-like, "creative" move suggestions, as opposed to traditional chess engines. That's quite interesting and I want to explore that. Stockfish with neural networks (NNUE) was introduced in 2018, and has surpassed the previous versions by a large margin. I seems to be using a kind of hybrid approach.
