[@asharpbflat7179]

Guess the elo original content over cheater content any day. Yeah computers have been good at chess for three decades and insane for at least one decade. Is it fascinating to watch computer supported games vs humans? For a game or two, sure. But the reactions to and human analysis for guess the elo games, for me, is where the fun is at. Everybody can relate. I mean, I don't learn from a five moves deep stockfish strategy vs Levy and from why Levy's H5 turned out to be bad ten moves after it's played. Sure there's some excitement in watching the brutality of a machine crushing some human player. But it's a short excitement, you quickly remember that really nobody's been crushed there. I'll rather watch a pure computer's matchup like the first alpha zero vs stockfish series. That's the far more enjoyable experience of watching computer's at full strength ;)

19:00 Cheater content is fun and all but it is instructional as well... Looking at 19:00 I would have slightly considered the move h6 but I am pretty much sure I would have played h5 and that h5, may not be the sole reason of the loss, but was a mistake. It along with further moves down the line justified the move Nf3 by the opponent. If it was me analysing my game, I would have been like "eh, just a small mistake" but an International Master explaining it gives you an idea of why the computer selected the idea and such explanation is necessary for your games as well because even if you may not have the same position as in the game in the video, you would probably be in similar situation, if as black you will have idea how to deal with it and if as white, you will have idea of punishing it.

Honestly stockfish cheater games are amazing. Stockfish just slowly shoves itself into your position and there's nothing you're allowed to do about it.

[@MrEsMysteriesMagicks]

I'm hardly a chess whiz, but I have learned a thing or two. One tip I've come up with (and I'm sure it's been around for hundreds of years) is that on every move, look to see where the opponent's knights can go and where they can go from there. Naturally, I learned this the hard way. For some reason, this seems to be a more important consideration for Knights than for any other pieces. Another tactic that I read about often is the use of two bishops to cut off the opponent's King. Of course, when I play, I always forget that. Stockfish does not. My point is not that I believe that White didn't cheat (clearly he did), but rather that even from cheaters' games, patzers like me can learn something or at least be reminded of solid tactics.
