Stockfish Repeats Nezhmetdinov's IMMORTAL Queen Sacrifice!

[@jire9831]

Antonio, you named your kid Tal!? Congratulations. If that isn't love for the magician from Riga I don't know what is.

[@agadmator]

Yes! it wasn't my suggestion, though

[@Modern_Nietzsche]

​@@agadmator Yes I am sure it wasn't your suggestion good sir. We all know it was the boy's suggestion.

[@rhsatrhs]

@@agadmator Was your suggestion b4?! ;-)

[@d4slaimless]

In USSR Tal was written (and called) as "Таль". 4th letter means a soft sign. It is not spelled, but makes L "soft". Adds ambiguity to how exactly Agad spells the name of his kid. This is not a name though. Tal's name was Mikhail. It's rather common to give a name of some special person to your kid. Giving a surname (family name) instead of a name looks kind of strange. At least in a country of origin it would be strange for sure. Same as calling a kid Kasparov instead of Garry, for example. That said, who cares, as long as kid grows happy.

[@jeremywilliams5107]

T-Gad ? Tal-ent?

[@arkzbh]

True story, Agad's choice of his babies name was "B4". then his family showed why its not winning at that moment and Tal was agreed upon 😂

[@arkzbh]

Also there was a family fight between Agadmator because he wanted Ivanchuk if not b4, somehow his family convinced him with Tal , but he is still not really happy as you can see 😂

[@doctord2897]

No, agad suggested b4 but Tal was a much stronger recommendation by his good friend Engine so Agad had to listen to it

[@davidoconnor1773]

And it is here, as of child #3, that we have a completely new name!

[@constantinemacris9047]

@@arkzbh but to go against the family's wishes would threaten some really nasty discoveries, so Agadmator decided to agree to a draw here

[@TedHarrison-be9jq]

I think “ castles castles “ was also an option that didn’t make the cut either! 😂

The queen sac and that e3 move was incredible.

[@joehowa2810]

[@waccle8335]

It's kind of poetic how the pieces that were exchanged for the queen sacrifice-- a pawn, a knight, and a bishop-- were all accompanying the king march at the end of this game. :))

[@UdayadityaSankarDas]

You have a unique way to view the world.

[@atanasatanasov7300]

10:30 - "It's not just to capture a pawn, it's to force resignation" Agad being iconic as always

Yeah, I mean engines don't resign but...still

[@MsSlice09]

That Ivanchuk was on spot! :D

[@robelengida6211]

I remember you describing the child running to chernikov while he was taking a stroll and telling him, 'master he sacrificed his queen'.

[@zanti209]

Antonio, congrats on the birth of your son! Great to see you are very successful in your chess channel and in your growing family. Best wishes to your wife. CHEERS!

[@syjwg]

AlphaZero vs. Stockfish was a game changer in 2016. The self training 'neural network' was the way to go. Stockfish 16 is currently learning from around one million games per day. AlphaZero was trained in just nine hours back then.

[@Bosshog-WealthHealthBetterment]

I really hope "game changer" was a subtle reference to the book that analysed some of the games of that series, by Sadler and Regan, as well as other contributors. I recommend it to anybody interested. Full title, "Game Changer: AlphaZero's Groundbreaking Chess Strategies and the Promise of AI"

[@syjwg]

@Bosshog-WealthHealthBetterment I've not heard about that book, but it surely looks interesting. Published in 2019.

[@Bosshog-WealthHealthBetterment]

@@syjwg Yep, that's the one. It has a really good overview of the approaches of the 2 engines, several (7, from memory) especially notable games with annotations and explanations, and it's all done in a very accessible way. Happy coincidence that you mentioned Game Changer then :)

[@luciangv3252]

The old Stockfish was only 3400

[@kaashmonee]

hi i really want to emphasize that i absolutely love seeing these engines fight it out, please do more of these engine games they're so absolutely incredible

Never have i been more proud to solve a critical moment in the game than right now. I feel like that uncle that has his moment once in a year^^

[@vecter]

How in heaven's name did you find e3?

[@Gaspa79]

@@vecter His brother has a kid and he sucks at chess I guess

[@ChristophHall-i1v]

@@vecter I couldnt get the king mated. But i liked my pieces and their position. Except for the knight. Only better place for knight was the position were the pawn is. So i checked if my opponent can counter a pawn push. I didnt find an easy way for black so i decided: that has to be the engine move. But without the help "think like an engine" i never would play such a move in a game. But when i do, i feel like that legendary uncle

[@KennethSamuel]

Good game. Both the Black and White sides played with engine like precision!

[@timegoesby421]

Love you agad , you are the reason i started playing chess , u changed my perspective about the beautiful game

"I don't want to create addicts on this channel" lol you are too late sir, i get my daily dose of chess from this channel!

[@karanshah8712]

I go to a library to study, my friends at the library are going to learn about this game soon, good sir! 🥂

[@zacharybrady2271]

A good way to think about chess computer ratings, and just ratings in general is in a log scale. This makes sense since it is a bell curve system. Going up 200 points when you are 2500 is much harder than going up 200 points when u r 1000. It's the same with chess engines, they may only be 1000 points above the top chess players, but this indicates many many times their strength

[@hosseinmohammadi8776]

#SUGGESTION Hello Agad. congrats on your son's born. Hope doing well. Before candidates i suggested a game but you had no time to show i think, so I'll be happy if you show that. If it's possible, cover last game ever a GM in a real game could beat computer. I mean Ruslan Ponomariov vs Fritz ( Man vs Machine in Bilbao 2005 ). I don't talk more but blunder by Fritz was strange. 😅 #SUGGESTION

[@afasbender]

20:30 - "I don't want to create addicts on this channel" 😂 Nice one, Agat, but too late!

[@roarprawn]

I first saw on Jasarov's channel, and I love his analysis. Worth checking out. I subscribe to both of your channels. Amazing game.

[@jessejordache1869]

In CCRL, the opening moves are predetermined, although not necessarily that elaborate. In knockout tournaments, the deeper you go, the longer the predetermination. In the "season games" it depends on the ratings -- the "premier" engines usually get about 8 half-moves that they must play, while the div 4 engines usually only have two. The championship matches are RIDICULOUS. This used to give Leela fits against Stockfish, because Stockfish is opening ambivalent, while Leela trained by playing against herself. Even something as prosaic as the King's Gambit would knock Leela off her game, because it's not an opening she'd ever play, because she just regarded it as bad, so she'd be dumped off in a totally unfamiliar position. In theory, the evaluation is the evaluation and a ResNet is supposed to be able to figure out the compensation and form a likely plan, yadda yadda yadda, but in practice it doesn't work like that. Anyway, for this game, if it's not the Super Final, it's probably a couple of moves a piece and then they're free to fight it out.

[@katalysis]

[@mridulnarang5571]

I found that!!! You know why? Because i can't seem to forget that ding's game against nepo. I knew it was time to start checking the king and had to block that only square for the king where all the attack would've fizzled. I imagined the king moving up the board and had to decide between e3 and e4. Tbf, even ding plays this in this position.

[@vaidyanathanvs6719]

The pawn push reminds me of Ding s pawn push in the world championship with the queen sac mate

[@joenorsworthy]

Enjoyed the content!

[@Bosshog-WealthHealthBetterment]

I remember the early days of engines thinking that they would be the death of chess, but for me at least, since AZ came along and embarrassed Stockfish, including with several immortal style games, I've been pretty amazed and regularly make time to check out engine games. Once the queen sac is played it does look somewhat thematic, with blacks responses almost forced to avoid windmills and nasty exchanges, and then precision wins out. That said, I really don't think even many super GMs would play that. Nez's sack on f6 was similarly beautiful and unexpected, so perhaps such things aren't totally beyond humans, but yeah, this game is beautiful, and you have to say if a human did play that, it would literally be discussed a century later.

[@t1910j]

That was a ham and three quarters! Amazing and addictive

[@danielkanewske8473]

Congratulations Antonio!!!

[@alexpotts6520]

That e3 move is very reminiscent of Ding's magical d5 from the last World Championship - a move that looks like it does nothing but actually closes a big-brained mating net.
