[@DylanKJW]

Tips Levy has given to all cheaters so far: - Don't spend the same amount of time per move - Actually be somewhat decent at chess without the engine - Don't take 4 seconds to recapture a free piece - Alternate between your own move and engine moves (That's why you have to be decent at chess outside of the engine) - Make sound, common sense moves that you would make without the engine - Intentionally make mistakes/blunders/misses that don't make you outright lose but make you lose your advantage/let your opponent counterplay

I just recently made a cheater get banned. When I was playing with that person, I didn't realize that until yesterday, after I check my games, then I saw someone I played against having 1550+ when I was simply 1000 elo, So i checked his profile, guess what? He only made that account on the same time, climbed from 400 to the late 1500, then ofc I reported him (on his account for his elo is skyrocketing too much), then a few hours laters, I saw my ingame mail with +5 elo for compensation of playing against someone because someone I played against apparently banned from fair play, so checked his account which was already banned.

Love your content, Levy. I think it would be interesting to do a bot battle between two bots made to play the worst more/lose the game like worstfish.

[@yitengtey4870]

14:37 i think the knight development was to prevent the forced mate in 2 when pawn takes the knight when king moves to either side queen checkmate on e7 so the knight prevents that from happening

[@isavenewspapers8890]

1) After exf6 by White, there's no reason Black has to move the king. 2) A queen on d1 cannot move to e7. 3) Even if it could, Black can just play Bxe7. 4) Even if that bishop didn't exist, if the Black king is on f8, Black can just play Kg8. Now White has Qd8# and Qe8#, so it's actually mate in 3, not mate in 2.

To explain why picking the 2nd best move is sometimes stupid: Imagine there is one move that is completely winning or saving you. And then there is a 2nd move that is sloppy damage control. The AI evaluates the value of each move, and then orders them based on the evaluation value. This can be something like 2.1, 1.8, 1.7, etc. Here multiple moves are roughly equally good. Sometimes it's 3.6, 0.4, 0.3, etc. Here everything except that one move is bad. The AI they used to cheat with probably didn't show them the evaluation, only the moves in the list. One way to program difficulty for AI is to make the AI randomly pick the n'th item in the list. What I did once is to weigh every item in the list based on their evaluation, and then randomly pick based on that - giving the highest chance for better moves, and having lower chance for bad moves.
