When Leela got checkmated, i felt very upset. Very very upset.

[@TheKrazyGoob]

This guy explains his reason as he goes... it is invaluable..I want more of this fellow please.

[@JamesCantyIII]

Thanks bro! 💯🔥😎

[@jeremythomas4744]

@@JamesCantyIII you and levy rozman are the best teachers :)

[@Fire-ci4se]

I was proud for a moment that I came up with with 0-0-0 and you ruined it by saying it was a blunder

[@muscles5714]

stockfish is my fav player, he's humble also... whenever I wanna play with him, he plays with me.. Nakamura neve does it to me

[@DarkWizardGG]

I never thought Stockfish is a person! Hes so humble. LMFAO lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣😆👍

[@sumanthpaul7724]

Who does think Nakamura think he is to refuse to play with you when even this genius stockfish guy plays with you??🤣

"Great game from Stockfish , You never let me down" GM Tigran L. Petrosian.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ivansonavavich2]

I like this guy he’s good at teaching. He should do a series if he doesn’t already

[@JamesCantyIII]

Thanks Ivan 🔥🔥🔥

[@drakonpunch2553]

yeah he's pretty funny

[@BohemianKitsch]

i'm no expert, but that seemed uncharacteristic of leela.

[@mikemartin9840]

I think they force the engines to play a specific opening 8-10 moves. I think in Leela's database the opening end position might be lost already, so that she decided to just end it up. Traditional engines always go for a straight wins, however we have seen some weird behavior with Leela toying around when winning. May be this is something similar. This is just a speculation.

[@RodelIturalde]

@Utsav Joshi engine are not perfect, neither are neural network AI's. There are reports of Neural net works for getting stuff they have learned earlier for example.

[@bariseker4193]

There is no way this is true. Maybe hyperbullet time controls lol.

[@Gamimaru1]

Neural net evaluations are not perfect they are full of weaknesses, for this is better for these games having a mix between brute force and nn i suppose.

[@AbhishekKumar-uu4uj]

Your profile picture is awesome... Where did you find it ?

[@charliec8804]

I’m so proud of myself for finding that checkmate before it was showed, I really appreciate these videos they really help me learn and strategize. Thank you!

[@AbhishekKumar-uu4uj]

How did Leela chess run into this ? It is supposed to be one of the best engines ever

[@jagadeeshkumar7724]

It overlooks the positions sometimes. But it is a powerful AI out there It blundered a queen with a human player... Just happens sometimes

[@newton296]

probably blitz time control . even leela misses moves at the faster time controls.

[@AdipatiNormandy]

Leela isn't engine

[@joaomdb]

this leela playing here is probably playing with low nodes...

[@DavidMoscoeUni]

@@jagadeeshkumar7724 A much much older version of Leela blundered a queen in a hyperbullet game against a superGM, the fact that this happened here in this context is stunning

[@scheimong]

LC0 makes a huge blunder that loses both tactically and strategically. Well that's bizarre.

[@joaomdb]

i tested J92-100, 115, 130, 145, 160 and 703810, every net deviates from bxc6 with less than 1000 nodes for J92 and 20k for 703810, this game is basically leela low nodes vs SF...

[@Paul_Franz]

More James Canty! He's great in every single video.

[@JamesCantyIII]

Thanks Paul! 🔥💯😎

[@fedess3647]

How did leela miss that, I am an average 1600 and I found it instantly, thats really wierd

[@xStrayfex]

This guy makes me happy

4:42 I like moments of eye opening.

[@ItachiUchiha-ge6em]

Great analysis, very nice to follow through the game. Props to James for making these engine games very interesting to watch

[@robba5480]

Thanks. Good comments I always learn something from u..

[@JamesCantyIII]

Glad I could help Rob!

[@duckmysick4555]

The end came slightly unexpected. Very cool. I am speechless and excited

[@banditodwardo4028]

this game would have gone much differently had leelas engine been able to see thru that one. I put all of these moves thru leela and i opted to move the rook to defend the b7 pawn, that ended up with white still winning with pretty good odds. then i ran it again with the knight to E8 to defend b7 and got a much more balanced result, with a rook and knight vs rook and bishop end game. this is all on solely leelas engine, but still very interesting. so it would seem that for black, its best chance was to defend with the knight according to leelas own engine. it wasn't the top choice for that move, but it was one of the top choices. its top choice was the one they just displayed here with the queenside castle. leela seems slightly short on lines and tactics, but makes up for it with positional advantages.....nice vid!!

[@remussayed1007]

I can say as a subscriber to his channel tha this person's charisma never fails to empress me

[@JamesCantyIII]

Let’s gooooooo 💯🔥😎

[@mygmailaccount5068]

Stockfish, Komodo, Leela (& all the rest of mechanical chess players ) WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE ABLE TO DO THE FOLLOWING THAT HUMAN PLAYERS CAN :: 1) BLUNDERS 2) UNNECESSARY CAPTURES 3) sudden STALEMATE just 1 move prior to CHECKMATE 4) allowing MULTIPLE FORKS TO happen 5) forgetting OPENING move-order 6) no piece coordination 7) worst piece activity in the middle game & What not....😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

NM James Canty and Ginger GM are really the two best presenters on this channel. But NM Canty has the best explanations

[@JamesCantyIII]

😎😎😎🎉🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊

[@dconfused9919]

NO. pH3 or what you said. But the engine never lets you get that far. Night blocks bishop , pawn chases bishop. No time to castle. You fit your narrative. Actually your explanation helped ALOT ! TY.

[@philkalus5720]

very clear explanation of tactics by commentator ! a good chess teacher !!

[@towkirshuvo97]

How did Leela allow such a simple checkmate?

[@dada191]

How do you find all the chess teachings from this guy? He's the best out there.

😎 All over KZbin buddy and many on this channel!

[@arneshpal7702]

2:10 castle

[@sumanthpaul7724]

I can't believe Leela fell for it. It should have never taken the knight

[@ChessJourneyman]

Only two types of people would name their child the third - and only one of them has blue blood.

[@52flyingbicycles]

I saw moving the rook at the end, I even said out loud “rook all the way”, but in my mind I only wanted it to go up to the black pawns, not check the king. I was a fool!

[@afifkhaja]

Terrific commentary but how in the world is leela chess zero so weak? Even I could find the checkmate from Stockfish

[@wildroot2762]

I must admit, I am learning, study tactics daily, and got most of the moves correct when he asked. John Bartholomew teaches always finish development when possible. I like John most of all. I feel good.

[@shotx333]

I love the way you are commenting on game waiting for more videos.

[@jacobmurray7016]

There is no way a chess engine made that kind of blunder

[@bustarogers9990]

So good to see someone showing some Stockfish wins, all you seem to see are Leela wins on every other channel when they're basically even now with Leela still being slightly stronger.

[@iliillillilli2991]

Stockfish is stronger right now though.

[@stonks2622]

That can't be lc0 even I saw that knight trick runs into mate.

[@stonks2622]

And I am only 1400

[@anupbarua6151]

i like this dudes analysis. but isn't chess.com's gpu server down? and they postponed ccc15 ?!

[@PasseScience]

Where did you find that? is it leela one playout ? with a 2018 net? Was it running on your granma laptop ? It's 1st oct not 1st apr

[@PasseScience]

After checking with last nibler and last lc0net (last on release page) it' s actually true that Lc0 does not see well the Nc6 attack. But, after Nc6 it sees well the problem with less than 1second thinking and will avoid the checkmate (not avoid to lose the losing game, it's too late, but avoid losing it on the spot). So clearly if the checkmate was played in the game it's with Time control under 1second move.

[@kappablanca5192]

lc0 isn’t that much better than sf12

[@PasseScience]

@@kappablanca5192 Not sure you get the point, there is nothing special about Lc0 losing against SF12. what is anormal is Lc0 (or any 3500 + engine) missing a mate in 3... We actually never see mate like that in computer games. Seeing it only means ultra rapid time control for the match. Maybe something like 1/10s by move on a standard hardware. Even with my office laptop with a shitty graphic card Lc0 avoids this mating sequence faster than I can click it's suggestion... (

[@kappablanca5192]

Passe-Science yeah I see

[@amaarquadri]

Seems like that tactic was only a few moves deep. I'm surprised stockfish didn't see it coming!

[@davidhumphrey608]

Um I'm no better than 1500 and I saw that so did Leela have a 'moment'?

[@himiihyouko8175]

It's imaginable....maybe it is low version of both engines, bcoz my expectation is higher in this mind blowing match

[@chrisoleary9876]

Great job! Very explanatory.

[@bariseker4193]

When and in which time controls was this played? I am not believing that LC0 would fall into this.

[@sorenzollamas]

I don't understand why the engine didn't resign after Nc6+. It should have been able to see the forced mate after that.

[@abinashmandal6202]

Now Leela gets an update.. either she wins or gets improved..Engine's story

[@gokusgames]

I like how you explain

[@JamesCantyIII]

Thanks BaraK! 💯🔥😎

[@Philson]

Are humans still necessary at this point

[@twinkler6578]

is this really Leela of +3800 elo? Or is it some other version?

[@christiandocchio5218]

Wow. I am proud of myself right now. I am a beginner in chess play but i actually found the decisive move: rock to B8 in a moment! Just in a moment, It looks so obvious to me. Now, it's because it's actually a easy move & Lela engine had already lost, or can i still be proud of myself?

[@icyboy771z]

Why does stockfish sacrifice it's knight by moving to c6?

[@blackmirrorhenity3669]

it's a good game but i felt like it wasn't theoretical game changer black walked into this queen side attack with his queen side minor pieces that he manvoired 6 times.

[@Nilz4FR]

How can an engine miss such an obvious trap? That was just 3 moves !!! Leela ain't deep today huh?

[@Vlad-wl3fw]

Even I saw the checkmate coming there at the end. My ratings on chesscom is like 1400. lol

[@rizkyfajarfarhansyah3847]

I was expecting this game was longer than usual

[@matthewsmith8876]

Exciting game! Stockfish: You are really going to castle Queen side? Leela: What's my name? Stockfish: Checkmate! Leela: Wait, what?

[@quill444]

We thought Leela had finally learned how to properly 'throw a game' for the content, to get more views; but as it turns out, it was maybe not Leela after all, but Ludwig. - j q t -

[@danielmurphy639]

I'm new to chess at the end why is it checkmate after the queen moves? Why can't the king just capture the queen like it did with the rook?

[@vdshukla2908]

Well many people were saying he is a really good teacher and should do more of these stuffs. I think he has a yt channel

[@hrishikesh3886]

I love james canty man ... Hes funny

[@axecapital1]

What the hell ,those engines are strong , I can learn so much ... unfortunately alpha zero is not open :-/

[@chessbro4263]

Give white pieces to Leela Then see the🔥 on the board

[@archiestriker7251]

Stockfish 12 is still stronger tho

[@roberthainitz8504]

I find this odd. Even I saw that you cannot take the Knight and the following mate. For an engine, this is a total blunder. I am not sure that I would have seen the KF6 move in the first place but once played, it was clear that you cannot take the Knight. I am about 2000 ELO and do not have a chance against a strong engine.

[@TheMortalKomic]

I WAS SO CLOSE, I GUESSED B7 AT THE END!!!!!

[@george3737]

I don't believe Leela could play so bad.

[@adamsmeltzer2664]

[@sharonjoseph959]

This is not the Leela I know

[@henrik4417]

Leela should have taken the pawn c6-b5, and then b6 right? Anyway, didnt see it come either, what a nice attack:-)
