i know some people really hate engine games but i ABSOLUTELY love them, this game was FIRE dude

[@ilijavxx]

Engines play hundreds of games. It's statistically probable that a banger of a game will eventually happen, but most games actually end in a draw, and you can't even analyse engine games, because human understanding of chess compared to the engine is nowhere. There's nothing interesting about it, which is why human chess is still popular and the best chess players make millions of dollars a year just from sponsors, even though any engine can crush Magnus in 20 moves.

[@reun1clus]

@@ilijavxx not really... the top chess players know chess theory in the most common lines over 20+ moves. I'm only around 2000 and i know some lines in the spanish and italian up to around 14 moves. in a chess 960 game, yes, but unless engines play completely crazy openings, they aren't crushing Magnus in 20 moves

[@ilijavxx]

@@reun1clus But the number of moves isn't my point. It's just a reference. If not in 20, than in 30 moves. The point is that human chess is still interesting even though any engine can crush the best human in any time format easily. If this wasn't the case, chess on a professional level would have died.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

@@ilijavxxEngines are Quite spectacular Cold blooded thinking machines I agree with you human chess is more interesting creativity wise of course engines are super efficient I think it’s just easier to identify with the best human chess players making spectacular moves more so than a computer

[@Corteum]

Nah, man. Only have love for the engines!

[@deftrascal1626]

It's genuinely insane to me how even in the thumbnail position Koivisto is still managing to find defensive ideas in the position, if I got that position in a chess game I think I'd just curl up into a ball and start crying

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

And very winning defensive ideas...if only its opponent wasn't playing the top engine reply every single time, lol.

[@bhgtree]

"And you will win it easily.....You might not win it easily, but Stockfish definitely will."

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

Both bishops, both rooks, and the queeen...ALL pointing at the black King! The ultimate in piling on. Even the "Alekhine's Gun" formation was too weak for Stockfish's liking, preferring a more sophisticated crossfire in his orchestration of pieces. And notice how despite the absolute crushing position Koivisto was having to defend against, it had no problem finding defensive resources that would be immediately winning for it, were it going up against a mortal opponent. Amazing moves.

[@anilbista7445]

We cannot comprehend the power of these engines. As agad mentioned in his previous videos, those engine rating is obtained by playing other super strong engines. If engines were to play humans their ratings would be a lot more than 3500 😅

[@preparedsurvivalist2245]

@@anilbista7445 Antonio once said that strong engine moves only look like the optimal move when its playing a weaker opponent. But a stronger engine can find better moves, obviously. So Stockfish will be the best player in history up till now, however, compared to all future engines it will never win and could have the lowest ELO rating possible, in that future competitive environment.

[@anilbista7445]

@@preparedsurvivalist2245 yea of course Lela 0 was the strongest engine at some point. I was just saying the rating stockfish has gained just from playing very strong engines hundreds of thousands of times. If it was stockfish vs humans , the rating would be much higher.

[@chriswright3179]

Nice to see the super computers at work but also to see you in your element talking about the Evans. In my opinion, choice of opening is all about what gives you the type of game you like and, no less important, the type of game which doesn't attract your opponent. All the best.

[@goonerboy93]

1:00 I can certainly back this statement. Exactly a year ago I searched "best chess games ever" on KZbin and specifically your video of the evergreen game came up and ever since then I became obsessed with chess, so I just wanted to express my gratitude to you and your channel. Thanks Antonio ❤

Dear Agadmator, I think it's interesting to know that this game had already been played by two humans up to move 20!! In the game Plachetka-Rolletschek, Austrian Team Championship 1994/95, there followed 20.Qc3 Qf6= with complete equal game.

[@AkumaAPN]

This video is putting a question into my mind: If Stockfish is given the ability to be aware of the limitations of its opponent (for instance in this game, knowing that Koivisto is a program with 3432 rating, some details of how it operates, and what hardware is running it), could Stockfish take these details into consideration when making a move -- in other words, leaving room for the possibility of making a slightly inferior move, and calculating that such a hypothetical move could "complicate" the position for the opponent, leading to extra processing time or the consumption of more resources, and thus, more time, which may hurt the opponent's performance later in the game? Or have all modern engines moved past the point where time and processing constraints have any major impact, and at this point the only relevant factor is how good the engine is?
