Your King is on the middle of the board: Panik You promoted the pawn and got 2 Queens on the board: Kalm Realizing you're fighting Stockfish: PANIK

What the HECK was that game?!?!? That was absolute bonkers, and James Canty III was definitely the man to show us this game. His commentary is always spot on and thoroughly enjoyable!

[@JamesCantyIII]

BONKERS bro! Thanks my guy 💯💯💯

[@finnhackapell6560]

Leela couldn't concentrate well that match because stockfish smells like stockfish.

[@1212_Bir]

Hey , don't say that 😂😂 Tord Romstad , Joona Kiiiski , Gray Linscott , Marco Costalba & TEAM will be hurt & upset.

I would expect Leela to have that smell too.

You will be hard pressed to find another human-vs-human game as exciting as this. The game had me on the edge of my seat until the second Queen has picked up by White with dividends. Thank you James for introducing this out-of-this-world engine thriller.

[@halfaheartbongobongo]

This truly is a game only an engine could play. Calculating an attack when your opponent has two queens on the board without winning one of them instantly? The number of attacks, counter attacks, and hanging pieces that are "safe" is mind-boggling.

[@funny-video-YouTube-channel]

Best commentary in chess ! Well explained and fun.

[@markn3935]

This guy is so unbelievable entertaining. This guy makes chess so fun to listen to!

[@JamesCantyIII]

Thanks Mark! 💯💯💯

[@WorldOfDeepThought]

I'm sure some people consider engine chess less interesting and maybe I agree for the majority of games. However, sometimes they get into positions most grandmasters would avoid because they require absolute fearless deep calculations. I think this game is a good example of this and I love this kind of chess.

[@FNproject]

no, human chess is boring

[@halfaheartbongobongo]

I think a human, even a GM is simply not able to calculate this much. In the age of adjournments and correspondence chess maybe (although even games like Kasparov vs the World where they had a full day for every single move were not this exciting).

[@jlushefski]

For me computer chess has actually sort of ruined high level human chess. Why do I want to watch Magnus and Fabiano play for 4 hours when I can watch a higher quality game in a few minutes? Maybe humans will move to faster time controls, and the excitement comes the intrinsic competition as opposed to the pinnacle of accuracy.

This guy is fantastic! These engines are absolutely insane btw. The moves always makes sense somehow when you see them but I wouldnt find them in million years

[@1212_Bir]

Yes , especially Stockfish.13.nnue_3700+ ( ccrl ) The Modern 2700-3600 rated chess engines outplay world's best GM's And Stockfish outplays these engines That's why Stockfish is our one & only Mechanical Chess Coach. No fear The FISH is here. Use him & improve your game !

[@fahimp3]

@@1212_Bir A lot of coaches recommend not using SF too much if you are not an advanced player.

[@speeddemon2901]

I lost track after the 11 min mark so I then checked with my friend and droidfish turns out every move we make the engine is ping ponging around trying to get a read of the position... Crazy game

[@lololololol1342]

what is droidfish? lc0+stockfish?

[@omarbassam821]

When they added NNUE to Stockfish it became Very OP

[@adamwu4565]

Stockfish NNUE is sort of like the inevitable ultimately culmination of the chess engine revolution started by AlphaZero. It became pretty clear early on that the neural nets played a different style with different strengths and weaknesses from the older engines, and that the two could synergize very well if only someone could figure out a way of effectively combining both into a single engine using the same computing resources.

[@hchitluri]

Engines are so clever. Yet not clever enough to resign

If you pick the stupidest looking move, you're either a 200 elo or stockfish

[@MrAdamMcFarlan]

17:53 , I really went for the rook man. I'm below average chess player,why you think that most people would take the queen? Because of the heat of the moment?

[@sakhinakhatun6074]

Playing a game is very different from watching one.

[@blahblah9707]

If you’re a below average chess player, you probably made the right move for the wrong reason, don’t deceive yourself

[@MrAdamMcFarlan]

@@blahblah9707 That's what I thought. But many times in weird spots I happen to make the best move. Is this also statistical luck or I may have seen the best move even if it's beyond my level in chess?

[@DunklerZebralord]

@@MrAdamMcFarlan Sometimes it’s also just your brain recognizing a pattern without fully understanding why. I often see the best move but then suddenly don’t know the continuation even though I feel like (and later after engine check know) that the previous move was good. But that’s just your chess repertoire being built in real time. Over time all the luck based best moves and statistical oddities make way for conscious knowledge. Another huge factor is that especially in weird positions there often aren’t many good moves. If you have one move and everything else is a very obvious blunder or leads nowhere it’s just way more likely you happen to pick the best one. I think that’s probably a big part too.
