The match makes alpha0 look a lot better than it actually was. At a high enough depth stockfish10 was able to calculate most of the moves made by alpha0 and defend appropriately. Now we have stockfish13 that also uses a neural network, so alpha0 would stand close to zero chance.

I think Alpha Zero likes King mobility so much because it's own tactic heavily relies on taking it's opponents pieces mobility, meaning that it can come to the conclusion "I win trough suffocation, so I will not loose to it.

One of the things I love about chess is it is one of the first areas where we started augmenting our intelligence. Using computers and AI to develop our understanding is fascinating and incredibly exciting.

[@Schrammletts]

With "I don't know why AlphaZero likes king mobility so much" -- Remember that AlphaZero is trained exclusively by playing against itself. It expects everybody to play the way it does, so there's a good chance that it wants to counter the same style of aggressive pawn push that it uses to attack.

[@KimiiiRaikkonen]

That's very true. I feel we've been shown multiple times now how much it attacks the short castle. It knows from playing against itself that's not good, so it likes mobility. Humans don't attack the same way, so we don't get punished for the auto-castling we do. If I play with that much mobility, I'm constantly hanging pieces, getting forked, pinned, forced blocks.. Lot's of consequences. But maybe that's good practise, to be able to navigate the games with open king without hanging pieces, just to have the mobility, and put this type of pressure on the enemy king and try to put pieces out of play. I love to try and learn from computers

The nice thing about something like AlphaZero or Leela as opposed to something like Stockfish is that their evaluation functions are computationally expensive and are essentially compressed versions of game tree search using similar evaluation functions and ultimately based on winning. This iterated distillation and amplification approach means that a human can't learn to copy what stockfish does. you can't think about millions of moves. What you can do is learn to think more like how Leela or AlphaZero do, because humans are good at storing highly complex intuitive evaluation functions and doing a little bit of lookahead.

By FAR the most fascinating video about chess I have ever seen. I am now even more interested in the championship match coming Magnus versus Ian. You know Ian must be studying games of Magnus right now. The video also exposes the weakness. Sure, you can get lessons from AlphaZero. Good. But now you have to implement it and use the advantage. As a human, and sometimes in time pressure. Okay, so we can see what Alpha is doing conceptually. How well does Magnus use this new understanding that Alpha has given us? How and what will Ian do? The match just became more interesting to me after seeing this video and will be fascinating to see the games.

Really like the glasses. Very flattering. I subbed today -- but only cuz of the spectacles.

[@AmirOrdabayev]

Not only did I subscribe. I did so using my 3 KZbin accounts ;-) Great work Levy!

[@alanli2605]

That might actually bring down his engagement if you don’t use the other accounts

[@maniakfanclub7676]

Get a life bud.

[@FlagerMiszcz]

I just unsubbed because of the intro. xD screw all of these sub/like beggars

[@alanli2605]

@@maniakfanclub7676 ofc sub to levy but I remember some KZbinr said smth abt subbing with inactive accounts and how that brings down engagement, which makes sense if u think abt it

10K views in 15 minutes! Absolutely insane support and it's totally deserved for how hard you work!

Levy be slaying with those glasses 🔥🔥

[@noahpersich1436]

This man levy is going above and beyond for the chess community.. this man has too much respect for the game of chess for you to NOT take one second out of your day and hit that subscribe button!! I promise you won’t regret it. Great content levy!! We appreciate what you do, don’t stop being you!

[@epdic]

I love how every other KZbinr has like only 30% of people subscribed and then there comes Levi with over 60%. Amazing!

[@ansertv2873]

thank you so much for being relatable and explaining things so efficiently. I started my chess immersion watching Hikaru and your goofy thumbnails deterred me for some reason at first, but then I realized I had no idea what Hikaru was saying, haven't missed a video since!

[@CaptChilly]

I don’t usually comment but I’m continuously impressed by the sheer quality and quantity of the videos gothamchess pumps out. by far my favorite chess creator

[@psybranet]

Very impressive. His enthusiasm is infectious. Plus he's a really good instructor

[@jeffreytam7684]

What I find fascinating about chess is that there always seems to be a way to break mathematical or tactical deadlock... Many systems similar to chess tend to become solved (or bogged down in quagmire there is no way out of) and despite the truly mind boggling amount of computing power poured into this game, there still seems to be ways forward.

[@ronylee11]

I just love how energetic Levy always is xD

[@domf.5219]

You really do work hard Levy, the upload schedule alone is something to be proud of.

[@tiberiocamargo]

awesome video - reminds me of warcraft 3 ladder, harassing your enemy base with heroes and early push to disrupt development

[@Joebike1]

You are totally crazy buddy, I just started watching your videos, congrats pall, you are amazing!

[@santiagofabregat4472]

Love how Levy tells us to get outta here!

[@QuinntakillLOL]

i wish i could subscribe twice, you have immensely helped me in my chess journey. Thank you for constantly putting out free content, and thank you for the D4 Dynamite course. Just hit 1000 elo and am excited to keep going!

[@brass4235]

Great video! I wanted to say thanks for all of your content. I am a subscriber to your KZbin channel and I watch you on twitch. I don't have the xtra $ to pay for a twitch subscription rn due to some big-time medical bills, but I wish I could because I dig your live streams a lot! I've made a habit of NOT playing any games until I go thru a few of your videos, or watch your stream. I feel like I get much more focused, more prepared, and most importantly imo, your positive energy gets me ready for the next step in my chess game. I've gone from 1030 to 1377 by implementating your advice into my game! I just wanted to say thanks for putting up so much great content!

[@arkantosan]

28:04 I come from the future to tell you that AlphaZero vs Stockfish has been recorded, great job as always Levi! :)

[@mr_bubble_2697]

I got drawn to this because of KZbin recommended algorithm. I have now binge watched so many videos. Thanks yt

[@ilkinmustafayev]

It is 1:30 a.m in Azerbaijan now and i was searching for my usual bed-time video when i got a notification. I really appreciate your frequent uploads. Спасибо Леви!

[@LeoKillsIt]

Slav azerbaijani?

[@yHdra]

Привет с России

[@ilkinmustafayev]

@@LeoKillsIt no, i am fluent russian speaker and as i know Lewy also knows russian i wrote "Thanks Lewy" to him in russian

[@ilkinmustafayev]

@@yHdra Привет:)

[@ilkinmustafayev]

@@LeoKillsIt btw i forgot to mention that we learn russian in school. 95% of schools have so "russian class" where education is in russian instead of Azerbaijani. Also russian is thought in "azerbaijani class" as a second/third language, english being third/second language. In "russian class" russian and azerbaijani switch places.

[@RajasPoorna]

WE LOVE YOU LEVY!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ YOU'RE THE BEST!!! I'm just glad I know of the existence of one person as good as you (at least as far as I can tell from YT)

[@TwoBucksShy]

yeah we gotta talk about levy spotting the patterns in magnus and alpha0 games. my guy has a gift at developing and delivering suh-*preme* content and he works like a rented mule to share it. you’re the man levy, thanks a lot

[@dialecticsjunkie7653]

Magnus used to be a super attacking and sacrificial player when he was young. Then when he matured he shifted to a technical, grindy style. It's really cool that he's kind of returning to his youth and playing riskier and crazy chess sometimes.

[@speeddemon2901]

Nah he is always very technical and grinding machine. Like even in this alpha zero style play he is just grinding out the position and in between some spicy sacrifices. His main advantage against every other top player is his image and aura of being a engine in endgames, the so called Magnus effect

[@13N13MAND13]

Your glasses are like D4 or E4... I can't decide which I like more

[@lorenzboerger3955]

Been waiting for a video on alpha zero!
