Holy shit this Casablanca chess is fucking AMAZING. Like, we can now see how modern players would play against each other from positions of past world championship matches and see how the strategies have developed over the years. This is also like skipping directly to before the climax is supposed to be.

[@Q420-m9c]

Casablanca chess on computers would even be more interesting and awesome, imagine the plays that the computers can do in certain positions in that particular game, it will either be a bloody battle or just a simple draw but we know that is never the case most of the time and computers will always find a way to win in the most insane ways possible

[@SharatS]

​@@Q420-m9cThat's how chess engines are ranked when the play against each other, they play a bunch of games against each other in various openings. The openings are predetermined.

[@jirkaobzor]

Gotham, I am kind of new to the world of chess. Even though I have been watching you for years, I never really started playing until my precious wife gave me your book for Christmas. I finally started reading it and studying this beautiful game, and I want to say thanks. I am not young enough to have goals in PC games like Dota that I played before; I know I will suck soon-you can't stop aging. But chess is different. I can see myself in 50 years playing with my grandchildren. That's just magnificent. And when the day comes, I will be telling them about GM Levy, the reason why I started to play. Good luck on your journey!

I think this new format is absolutely amazing. When computers play each other now this is what happens. Extending this to the top players is great because it becomes more about who’s the better player not who memorized the most lines. It could be really cool if they let the community vote on different positions to make the game more engaging to an audience

[@michaelmassaro4375]

They let the Chat decide which position the players should start with in a poll at one point in another game they had the players vote amongst themselves

24:44 Magnus didn't rush anything, according to the tournament situation a draw was simply enough for him so he decided to go for an easy draw instead of pushing for the win. He said in the interview that he actually saw that Bf1 line where you sac the a2 pawn and rely on the attack, but he didn't want to go for it since there is always a risk of messing up.

[@loadstone5149]

See, I think the issue with Casablanca chess is yes, it will always be an equal position but that doesn’t mean it’s a humanly equal position. Some moves will just come naturally to one side than the other, so there’s going to be a big RNG element wether u get a easy to play position or hard to play position. But that actually makes it a lot more fun, still less deterministic though.

[@r4dhg5z]

Fun fact: The name of the tactic “x-ray attack” could not have even existed during the Chigoran vs Steinitz game because it was in 1889 and x-rays were discovered in November of 1895.

[@dovhochsztein3845]

I love the concept of this format. Can you share how the positions were chosen and how/when they were revealed to the players?

[@markrobertson3054]

2 from commentators 2 from viewers 2 from players Fide gives 3 random options, they choose 1 Total 6 games Players know the game only 2 minutes before match start

[@AllTop507]

I like the idea of random positions with 10+ pawns and/or pieces and there are at least 3 moves that keep the eval bar at 0.5 or lower. Basically, you just don't want a position where if they miss the only move they are completely lost.

[@tuhin1264]

This is like playing from a puzzle till the end.

[@Smaels]

i love the new format, and also love (as always) your analysis of it. As mentioned, the weakness of the new format comes if one person knows the analysis of the historical position while the other does not. Could this be avoided by having the engine randomly generate a mathematically equal position? Also though the hidden beauty of this format is that it will encourage deeper studying of historical matches rather than memorizing opening lines down to the nth level. That's a good thing.

[@lezty]

This has been the most entertaining chess video. This Casablanca format is really nice

[@dndvirus]

I love this format, it’s very similar to an idea I had which is where you start about 15 moves into a random variation of an opening.

[@psymar]

TCEC (the top computer chess competition) already does this although it's not always 15 moves and the positions are chosen to be slightly imbalanced, and the computers play both sides of the same opening against each other in a pair of games. the reason the openings are chosen to be slightly imbalanced is to raise the chances that the result of the two games isn't tied, i.e. one of the computers wins one game and draws the other

[@dndvirus]

@@psymar yeah that's where I got the idea from. I forgot to mention that they would play both sides to make it balanced as well.

[@at3649]

My idea for a new form of chess would be to have the option to pass instead of moving a piece. For each pass you are gaining a "point". You then can use those points to get new pieces, 1 point for a pawn, 3 points for a knight or bishop, 5 for a rook and 9 for a queen. Those would be set on a standard starting potition of the piece. Whats you thought on it?

World championships used to frequently take place in two cities -- and more. Before WW2 you had as many as 12 cities, but even two of the Karpov Kasparov matches were split, 1986 between Moscow and London and 1990 between NYC and Lyon. It's only since the title split (and later reunification) that all WC matches have been in a single city, although some of the FIDE WC tournaments during the split era were in multiple cities.

Conceptually, it's interesting because in a way it removes opening theory and preparation that these players would normally make for a serious game.

I found g4 in the Magnus game so he probably found it as opposed to memory, I may have prepared g4 first in the event I didn’t want to gambit the pawn, but it’s clear in the position that g4 needs to be played before you’re smothered on the QS, which is probably why the gambit is necessary.
