U.S.M.C. and chess! ... My father was a U.S.M.C. WWII vet. 1945-51. He bought a chess set to play while in the marines. The thought of Marine buddies playing chess.... I would sure like to see the moves. Later he married and had 3 boys. He taught my brothers and me to play chess with that set in the 1960's. He didn't like playing us kids once we got better then him! But he still had fun playing until he passed away in 2012. Now at age 65 I still enjoy chess for fun too, but my oldest brother was a star player in a jr. high school chess team. That team won the MN state title in the 1970's.

[@thuroria7631]

what I love about stockfish's play style is that almost every game is like "me attack king" no matter what. Oftentimes it even just leaves its own king in the middle and starts an attack on the enemy king on like move 8 or something. in general, it doesn't value maintaining a pristine castled position for its own king very much at all. for it, "king safety" is "opponent too busy trying to keep their own king safe to have the time to attack mine."

[@dialecticsjunkie7653]

@@thuroria7631 Yeah it's beautiful to witness, but basically impossible for a human to pull off because you're basically having to rely on calculating every potential attack on your king, ruling every variation out, and you have to do it with perfect accuracy or your position falls apart

[@Jartran72]

That is so oversimplified. It does not just attack the king. It takes spacce, entombs enemy pieces. Builds up light/dark square control. Pushes on whatever side is advantageous. It just finds the best approach to a position. To say it just attacks kings.. Is such a misunderstanding. Because that is only very small part of what it does. First there needs to be some sort of advantage. Like fixing the opponents bishop behind their own pawns, stopping a rook from joining the game, sacrificing a pawn to create total control over important files with a bishop.. There is unending complexity to stockfish ideas. Some resolve around material, counter attacks, creating past pawns. Sometimes to win material, sometimes to force promotions.

Its nn evaluation favors tactical opportunities more, and it calculates better. It's known to have a more tactical style compared to other engines

When creating these engine movies, it would be great to locate an intriguing pair of games and highlight the varied approaches of the engines in that position. For example, the majority of engine wins result from opening "blunders" before they play. So, instead of just presenting a spectacular win, it would be interesting to see why the other engine was unable to convert the similar position. I think this might be a very great video.

If I don't watch I feel like trash, terrible openings, I don't know how to respond. When I watch, I feel like an absolute beast seeing every move, every trick. Thank you Levy, I don't know how, but you helped and continue to help In my head sometimes some random moves and positions take place and there is a voice saying random square coordinates, that have nothing to do with actual piece placements, but this too somehow helps, just hearing pawn to e5, even though I have no clue where e5 is until I count Edit, 900 even!
