In 2002, the annual Dortmund Sparkassen Chess Meeting had an added significance: it also functioned as a Candidates Tournament, for the winner would earn the right to play Vladimir Kramnik for the title. Seven of the top ten players competed in Germany, and emerging as winner was the Hungarian chess prodigy, Peter Leko.
The financial backing for the match (a prize fund of $1.2 million) was contributed by the the cigar manufacturer Dannemann, the latest in a line of corporate sponsors (Intel, Braingames, and Einstein) for the non-FIDE World Championship title. The match was only 14 games, one of the shortest in World Chess Championship history. Kramnik was to retain the title in the event of a tie match, a detail which was to prove very important.
The very first game illustrated Kramnik's incredible defensive techniques. Leko, by most accounts, had the advantage by move 23; but Kramnik's masterful handling of the ending, combined with an error by Leko, enabled the Russian to take the full point. Not until the fifth game was Leko able to accomplish what Garry Kasparov could not: beat Kramnik in a World Championship match. Then in the eighth game, Leko was able to take the lead, when he achieved victory with the Black pieces by alertly finding over the board a serious flaw in Kramnik's immense opening preparation. Games 9 through 13 were all draws, leaving Leko ahead in the match with only one game left.
Come game 14, Leko needed only one more draw to secure the title of World Chess Champion. Kramnik was faced with the task of winning, at all costs, in order to save his title.

[@maxkho00]

Well, if you analyze the game on chess.com (Stockfish 10 is the analyzer there), that move is still classified as a major blunder, and the engine is totally oblivious to the situation for about 4-5 moves, at which point it realises that it's in deep trouble and practically resigns.

[@ironcode]

Stockfish 11 (in-browser) on lichess.org saw this coming a mile away. Eval: 22.axb5 (0) Bd3 (0) 23.Qf2 (-1.7) Re2 (-3.4) 24.Qxe2 (-4.4) Bxe2 (-4.5) 25.bxa6 (-6.1) Qd3 (-6.3)

[@ConsciousExpression]

In case anyone is wondering how an engine can miss a move like this but see how powerful it is afterwards, I'm something of an expert in chess engines. It's due to something called pruning, which is difficult to describe succinctly, but I'll try. (Edit: due to a lot of feedback I'm editing this slightly to remove some terminology that is triggering to people who are rightly pointing out that there's a technical error in this analysis. I don't think it's a very consequential error, but I want to head-off further objections that are technically correct, but IMO miss the point.) A chess engine searches for moves using something called a move tree. Basically if you pick a move, then try all the moves that result, then try all the moves that result from those moves, etc, you end up with something that looks like a tree, this is called the search tree. With each move that is tried, the search tree grows exponentially. This means no matter how fast the computer, as the search tree gets large, it becomes impossible to check every move. So to search to a greater depth (deeper into the tree) it is necessary to "prune" the tree, meaning we cut off branches that are "obviously" bad, and don't search them at all! How can a move be so obviously bad that we decide to ignore its entire branch in the tree? This is where pruning comes in. Let's say it's blacks turn, and we check a branch and it leads to a plus 3 evaluation for white (i.e. white would get a piece up). If we already found a branch that leads to an even score for black, we cut off the branch a soon as we find the moves that lead to plus three for white, and we no longer have to check anything in that branch. This technique would be fine in theory if it weren't for the fact that engines have a dirty little secret. Engines ABSOLUTELY SUCK at evaluating a board position. If this is true how can they beat the best player in the world? The answer is by looking so far ahead that the crappy board evaluation routine becomes less relevant. If we find a branch that leads to utter domination 20 moves later, it doesn't really matter that our evaluation is off by a point or two. In practice this means engines can miss great moves for a variety of reasons, but it almost certainly comes down to a bad pruning at some point, leading to the engine not even checking the move or even the branch the move is on. As I said this is difficult to explain for non programmers but hopefully this gives you the big idea. Feel free to ask questions for anything that was unclear! I love this stuff and I'd be happy to explain further.

[@jadreaidy2969]

Actually that was very well explained, well done! You are an excellent explainer of chess engine magic

[@edoson01]

That's a great explanation, thank you :)

[@ConsciousExpression]

You're both quite welcome. Here are a couple more interesting observations. Imagine if the computer could perfectly evaluate a board position (determine who is winning and by how much). Then there would be no need for a search! You could just try each move and pick the one with the best score for the current player. Every other move would lead to an "alpha beta" cutoff (a type of pruning)! So the better you order the moves, trying the best moves first, the smaller (narrower) the tree. This is why alpha zero searches far fewer moves than stockfish but still crushes stockfish. It uses a traditional search, but the neural network is much much better at evaluating a board position than stockfish, because it learned through experience rather than by simply being told that a queen is worth 9 points, rook 5, etc. In fact, alpha zero doesn't even know the point value of pieces! Or at least it never was explicitly programmed to know them. It's simply better at evaluating a given board position. Reverse engineering how alpha zero valuates a position is sadly not possible, any more than we could look at your neurons firing and figure out how you value things. We can gain some insights by looking at the neural network but it's a bit like trying to read music by looking at the grooves on a vinyl record. To really hear the music you have to play the album. This is why alpha zero makes brilliant sacrifices and plays like Tal or Morphy. Nobody ever told it about the value of material. Everything it knows about chess it learned by experience rather than preprogrammed values.

I didn't see the thumbnail that well before I clicked the video, it was just in my peripheral vision.. Idk how its genius Im a 500 in blitz, 800 in classical on chess.com and I found it in 10 seconds. This just shows that genius moves aren't just for grandmasters to find, but gms need to keep making them whilst we make bad moves in between our good moves at my level. Im clearly not flexing im terrible at chess.

wow i threw both my hands in excitement when you revealed the move as it was my choice in move before you even said that taking the pawn was bad move even after i thought he still has 2 steps to get there. having said that i would not have even got my pieces to that formation this is amazing quality skill and so is yours on how you break it down. ive only played a handful of games on and off in my life as no one i know like chess but my nephew has got into chess and i love i can play with him. you have definitely improved my midset with just this video .. once agian thank you heaps made my night with getting the move right.. do you have other videos were i could analyse and guess the next move? p.s funny dog too

I just tried this out with the original "The Chessmaster" for the SNES from 1991 and when it's set to a higher level of play, it actually finds the move rather quickly... Seems like this old engine is really good for it's time!

[@konroh2]

Probably these games were programmed into it. Or at least certain lines of games.

[@xeofreestyler]

@@konroh2 You think a specific line from a game that was played in 2004 was programmed into a Nintendo game from 1991....? Give me some of that timetravel-kush you're smoking.

@@xeofreestyler I didn't realize the timeframe here. I thought it was an older game. I've found old chess engines to know a lot of specific lines and be stronger than people think.

[@adityaprasad465]

Or perhaps CM simply did the same thing as this commenter below (without being clever enough for the follow-up "oh wait, it can't be this", let alone the even cleverer follow-up "oh wait, it is"): "I found the move and was instantly like: wait, it can't be this because it doesn't achieve anything and the passed pawn will become a queen. Oh boy was I wrong."

[@enzorocha2977]

Not to start anything, agadmator, but I got curious and interested when you said we try if our engines might guess this invisible move, so I fired up my years-dormant Scidformac with Stockfish 9.64, setup the board similar to the pause point and let it solve for the next move. Yes, the first suggestions were Bxa6 but after a few seconds, Qd3 started popping up all through to the end of the list, with the final Qd3 having a score of +72.0! So, going with that, I was sure glad to see the engine's suggestion proven the right one once going forward with the video :)

[@Always_a_Duelist]

Only just started showing an interest in chess (thanks to your channel). Your analysis has helped me improve just after a week, so thanks 👍. Very enjoyable channel.

[@sdemosi]

Delighted to say I spotted the queen maneuvere. Although I suspect I've solved this before as a puzzle as it seemed familiar. I totally get what you say about engines not spotting some moves they subsequently recognise as very strong. In this case I'd be curious to know why the engine rejects it as weaker than the pawn capture. I wonder is it how the engine weights an imminent pawn promotion by the opposing player, likely to queen? The engines suggest the safer move.

[@gbeepee9995]

Omg I figured this one out before he said anything! That feels really good!

[@ltsgobrando]

FINALLY!!!! I've watched sooooo many of your videos and I always pause to do an analysis when you prompt us to. Usually I spend a solid half hour and find at least one line I'd feel confident in playing. Then I get my hopes and dreams crushed. NOT TODAY!!!! I FINALLY SOLVED ONE, AND FOR THE RIGHT REASON! Wow that's a lot of excitement!

[@stateofdecay2210]

I really enjoyed this game because I would never ever be able to find the move a year ago but after watching your channel like every day,I did find the move in just less than a minute and it was in this moment I realized watching your channel not only was about the enjoying the chess but it actually made me stronger, I know it doesn't even matter for you and probably for anyone but by watching your videos I don't really remember what was the last time I did blunder a Queen which was happening for me a lot, I also remember exactly when I was watching your channel for the first time my brother told me it is boring and it will never improve your chess,but here I am. I just played against my brother 7 times in 2 months and 7 victories so Thanks

[@mikehaisell4301]

Yes I saw the queen giving check in two moves starting with Qd3 then Qe3 (a week square), thanks for your teaching and opportunity to improve my chess!

[@anybody314]

I saw this game on-line and Knaack - a former GDR chess champion, who was commentating it - could not understand Qd3 either on the spot, he held it for a blunder -, but later he said it is a move that marches in into chess history! Kramnik congratulated Leko as well after the match but he said, Peter shouldn't think he has already won, he (=Kramnik) can play chess as well... (Unfortunately he showed his abilities in the last game, really) I was so proud as a Hungarian that I was laughing for a week. I had tried to make engines search for the move many years ago - when the engines were much weaker than today - of course nothing was found they did not have the slightest idea about it If an Oscar prize could be given in chess for anything, I would vote for Qd3.... By the way, the Arabic subtitle is very disturbing, the last row of the board is covered.
