Evil Martin Just Got WORSE

[@Senril_Trevelyan]

would kinda be funny if evil martin goes to sleep again once he gained a lead again :D

[@iwantcheckmate]

Hahaha like he tires out after a dozen moves? That's a good idea

[@pouyanchakameh8594]

if its losing or drawing (0.0): grandmaster if its winning: martin

[@BaptistPiano]

Make a distribution function where eval is converted to ELO. The more advantage you have the better it will do and the more advantage it has the worse it will do.

[@kelvin4067]

Narcoleptic Martin?

[@studgerbil9081]

Yeah, I am confused about that. With the xB, Martin was down 5, but with the xN he was below that and should've gone back to regular Martin.

[@dadoribaudo6460]

it would be cool to have the eval bar on the side for these types of games so we can see not only when Evil Martin wakes up but also how close he is to waking up and how capable he is to "fight back" the advantage once he starts playing seriously

I think even without knowing if hes evil or not you can detect it by looking at the movement speed the evil martin moves way faster than the sleepy martin. Still an really nice Video!

[@OvejaGD]

I also noticed that

[@MuhsinIbraheem]

I only just noticed...

[@zivronen9539]

I think that this game is very educational on why so many games end in a draw at the highest level. If you didn't "start" with an additional piece, imagine going "yes, I am going to sacrifice a bishop for a pawn to open the position" without obvious positional advantage or a foreseen tactic.

[@iwantcheckmate]

That's a good point.

[@SacredCowStockyards]

So FYI, in the last game I looked up the eval, and Martin had put HIMSELF at -6 by hanging his bishop. So you were gonna see Evil Martin independently of whether you took the free piece. That'll probably keep happening.

[@yastreb.]

I'm not sure if the bot is actually programmed to turn evil due to its own blunders. At least it'd make more sense for it to only check for the -6 condition at the beginning of its own turns.

[@iwantcheckmate]

That's a great point! I believe it only checks after my turn but we can check with wintrcat

[@WesselB]

It should check the eval only at the start of blacks turn because otherwise yeah, due to min-max it will be -6 before white takes the turn.

[@eragon78]

@@iwantcheckmate That would be the better way to do it yea. Only have him wake up after YOUR turn rather than at any point. This way you have more agency to try and influence when he switches.

[@hrlpyt3584]

imagine a Russian roulette chess, where every move you have a 1/6 chance to loose a random piece.

[@Skivv5]

good idea

[@DaBestOhYeah]

I really like how you have taken onboard feedback regarding your videos. For example, live attempts instead of play by play and not letting on the results until the end. Enjoying the content, keep it up!

[@yastreb.]

Challenge idea: Play against Martin, but every turn one random square explodes. If your piece was on it, it's gone now. If your king explodes, you lose instantly. Martin's pieces are invulnerable to the explosions.

[@TomARowly]

I don't think it should be random cos that's just luck based. Maybe every white piece which is touching a square that Martin's pawns are on gets blown up every move?

[@415Sterling]

Poor Martin, dude gets bulliedd. I was actually expecting Martinfish 80% to beat you in the last video but you are too goodd

[@iwantcheckmate]

To be totally fair, if I didn't know how the bot worked and played normally I'd probably lose haha

[@warspyking]

another thought is you could make evil martin wake up whenever sleepy martin blunders. So if sleepy martin makes a move which throws away X amount of advantage he hyperfocuses and plays like a god for the next 5 or so moves

[@Prankmaster187]

How many queens for martin to beat magnus, itll be legendary.

[@INeedMoreElo]

Next time Evil Martin is going to get angry and change as soon as he is -0.0000000000000000001 on the eval bar

[@iwantcheckmate]

Evil Martin getting angry because I moved a piece coming soon hahaha

[@SWISS-1337]

Honestly, your chess playing is amazing, really enjoy your live analysis and tactics.

[@iwantcheckmate]

I appreciate that!

[@ccash3290]

The optimal strategy would be to sacrifice your pieces and play with a disadvantage until the endgame. The computer cannot win if the board is simplified enough

[@KroganCharr]

Yeah I was thinking along these lines too. Basically mirror his strategy of playing intentionally poorly at first, and keep an even but simplifying board. Only capture pieces when you're down material to not accidentally trip the evil. Then when the board is simplified enough, do a big blow, ideally a free queen or a pawn promotion, and then ride the advantage to victory.

[@Laezar1]

the issue is that you might not notice a massive advantage in endgame and end up thinking you're still playing vs martin when actually the position was at a massive advantage because of a reason you didn't notice. Like say you have a complex forced pawn promotion it's going to be a massive advantage but the position will look equal, and then you make one slow move against evil martin and suddenly you lose all the advantage.

[@KroganCharr]

@ Good point. Evaluation is hard.

[@kristopherrobinson1167]

i thought evil martin was gonna be able to hold out there for a second😅

[@iwantcheckmate]

I thought so too 😅

[@Shonji_Ikori]

This may be your best video yet :)

[@iwantcheckmate]

I appreciate that! :)

[@hazeljoy1]

I once saw a "pokemon chess" which included several new mechanics into the game, but one of them was that when you go to capture a piece there is a chance you "critically miss" and you lose your turn instead, but also there is a chance you "critically hit" and gain a bonus turn after capturing. I wonder if there is some interesting strategy that could be used to mitigate that randomness and defeat a powerful bot

[@iwantcheckmate]

That sounds like a fun chess variant! I'll have to look into it, surely there's some amusing strategies...

[@OmegaF.]

Let's goo, I'm starting to love martin

[@rahulbansal2]

Sleepy martin doesnt want checkmate

[@Kingston4665]

Strategy, especially as he turns to evil with less disadvantage, you should make not great moves and kind of set up in a bad position so if he hangs a free piece, you can take it with a chance of not going over the eval to trigger evil Martin. Also, you should do what you did with Martin Fish, but the eval to turn him to evil changes either every few moves or on every capture. You could also add in negatives so if he is Evil and winning past the eval, he would switch back to normal Martin. Or something like that. Just some ideas to think on.

[@Seraphim733]

Nah it’s all fun and games until Martin had enough and brings his kids play against you

[@iwantcheckmate]

Next up, Martin's kid bot

[@amewsing]

That was a great game. Super informative with your thought process around avoiding the draw too.

[@rodeogrill5467]

I always get amazed seeing very strong bots because they manage to create the trickiest positions from at first normal moves

[@iwantcheckmate]

The worst part is understanding how it's tricky after the trick already happened hahaha

[@abattlescar]

I think it would be fun if stockfish will play until the position has improved past the threshold, and then Martin jumps back in. Or maybe that would be better in the opposite configuration, have stockfish start, and get Martin to jump in when the position is good.

[@iwantcheckmate]

That’s a fun idea, I like it!

[@ckingpro]

Closed positions are difficult for me too even when I am up material.

[@theonlyjg__]

I'm sorry, I can't keep up with the daily helloes... we have to break up.

[@iwantcheckmate]

LOL Hello anyway!!!

[@HoneyBadgerLikesYou]

9:31 how does bxa4 look in this position? I think it forces black taking back with bxa4 which gives you a free knight with Rxb6. Then after black goes Rb8, you get Ra-b1 which doubles your rooks on the b file. Or am I missing something big? Also sorry for the bad algebraic notation I hope you get what I mean

[@HoneyBadgerLikesYou]

Oh maybe the pawn take just loses to Rxa4 and then you’re in a worse position? I think I overlooked that

[@iwantcheckmate]

No worries, I understand. And I think your reply is correct, he would recapture with the rook and I am left to defend the a2 pawn. Good comment!

[@Hollands2511]

I'm pretty sure that Evil Martin plays moves quicker than Sleeping Martin. Maybe wintrcat could add a time delay for stockfish?

[@iwantcheckmate]

Interesting point! I hadn't noticed

[@MuhsinIbraheem]

Yes a time delay would be nice.

[@adamj-xj1sr]

You should play a grandmaster bot that's goal is to draw and your goal is to either win or lose

Can you explain the g3 move to me? Given the plans you laid out it seems like a wasted move. If you plan, in case he doesnt accept the trade, to advance anyways, why not just go two squares? He can still accept the trade via en passant and if he doesnt you saved a move.
