How Many Queens to BEAT Stockfish 10? (NOT Komodo)

[@iwantcheckmate]

This game was played with Stockfish 10 at depth 25. I am currently working on adding Stockfish 17 and Leela and will play them at a greater depth in an upcoming video. Comment any other engines I should play!

[@Matrackobra]

If you can play Torch

[@fireanteoth]

You can play against stockfish 17, 16 and 11 for free on lichess if you know how to set it up correctly.

[@LostKin69]

Play Deep Blue 😂

[@ckingpro]

I can help with optimizing. With Leela you can choose networks (and it is best to use with GPU). Also what processor does your computer have?

*Makes first move.* Stockfish: I've got you right where I wanted.

[@iwantcheckmate]

It’s the unfortunate case hahaha

[@victorfinberg8595]

the first time you tried this, you blundered your extra queen early. but here, just by playing simple chess, you show that any decent player should be able to crush any engine, when up a queen.

[@iwantcheckmate]

Playing bots up a queen is a skill in itself!

[@keineangabe8993]

I think engines are actually worse than humans in defending this because they expect best play from the opponent. Hikaru has a playlist on his channel, where he tries to climb sacrificing his queen for a pawn in the first few moves. I think he made it to about 2400.

[@aharrypotterfan5951]

@@keineangabe8993as a player that’s literally what you should do though?? (assume your opponent will play the best moves)

[@keineangabe8993]

@@aharrypotterfan5951 not if you are defending a position down a queen. You cannot win unless your oponent blunders. So you have to play in a way that provokes that. Engines do not do that because they dont expect you to blunder.

Something is fishy here

Stinks of some stockfish

And then quietly mutter with an extra queen 😅

[@a.j.leclair5426]

Ya know I didn't wanna call you out last time lol but I noticed right away that you weren't technically playing Stockfish. The difference being that Stockfish's rating is about like 3700-4000 and Komodo is about about 3200. Either way man I love your videos! 😊

[@iwantcheckmate]

Haha thanks! And no worries if you notice anything off lmk so I can make better videos 😅 Thanks for watching!

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thanks man!

[@mikejameson7678]

Interesting stuff. I'm actually shocked you only needed one extra queen. Did you allow pondering for the engine?

[@iwantcheckmate]

I did, I always edit out the waiting part so it’s not just 10 seconds of silence

[@mikejameson7678]

​@@iwantcheckmate Then may I suggest a game without (or a close to no) depth constraint? I mean, maybe I'm delusional or can't recall, but I've seen it beat GMs with these odds. Maybe it was the length of the game?

[@iwantcheckmate]

@mikejameson7678 You're right, I'll have to do that for an upcoming video

[@redminote-zv7dh]

Give Martin 30 knights and try to win

[@wildstar-yq2jh]

more great content, crushing it

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you 🙏

[@guimotron]

Hi, have you considered, on the second game, swapping one of your rooks for a queen, instead of a pawn?

[@iwantcheckmate]

I have received this feedback! Will attempt in a future game

[@NonStopPear]

Love it, keep up the good content

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thanks! Will do

[@stevencammerino5494]

13:15 shouldn’t castling queenside not be possible here bc the queen on h2?

[@iwantcheckmate]

How’s that?

[@stevencammerino5494]

@@iwantcheckmateI thought the king couldn’t castle out of check or into check. So your queen on h2 which covers the b8 square that’s in between black’s king and queenside rook should prevent him from castling, no?

[@iwantcheckmate]

@@stevencammerino5494 Hey! Not quite, but I see where you're coming from. The king itself cannot put itself in check, but the only squares the king covers on the way to its castling square is e8 (the starting square), d8 (the square it crosses), and c8 (the square it lands on). Since the queen does not cover any of those squares, black can legally castle (regardless of the rook passing through b8). Hope this helps! And good question :)

[@OmegaF.]

Can you share your tips for us, In a month you reached 2k rating, 🙋 here trynna learn, I love how you explain every move

[@iwantcheckmate]

Haha thank you, one of the first videos I posted to this channel was what to do if you’re rated under 1000 if you’d like to check it out. Also I was already rated 2000+ but the chess.com account was new and going to be used for a rating climb that never happened :)

[@SocialSophia]

*Lichess uses stockfish which is an easy way others could play stockfish*

[@iwantcheckmate]

Excellent point!! It’s not the strongest version but absolutely a great way to get a taste of the fish

[@michaellautermilch9185]

Instead of adding 8 points of material, could you beat Stockfish starting with only a 3 point advantage?

[@khangis]

would love to hear your analysis and thought process against real opponents, do u have another channel or stream?

[@iwantcheckmate]

I have a Patreon where I play against viewers, and I plan to do something against real players sometime in the near future :)

[@Jamalsm45]

It may be more interesting with an evaluation bar

[@YTGreenlightX]

Wow you beat stockfish with only 1 extra queen that’s really impressive

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thanks! I’ll try a newer model and with deeper search depth next :)

[@Frey-y5c]

Another banger let’s go this video while bro

[@Wessel_gtagVr]

When I said oh stockfish this time my cat jumped on me

[@marcelomessias3816]

try adding 1 by 1 points: 1st match you get an extra pond 2nd: 2 ponds 3rd: Extra Knight 4th: Extra Knigh + 1 pond And so on =D

[@iwantcheckmate]

Excellent variation! Thank you

[@Mr.Axolotl312]

I have nothing else to watch and eat my snack then I saw a miracle :)

[@iwantcheckmate]

Hahaha happy to be here!

[@datoapriashvili5806]

We need the stockfish 16 version

[@yaroslavl1133]

Why didn't you use arena chess UI? It's really simple, and you can upload every engine you want...

[@iwantcheckmate]

I’ll have to check it out again, I can’t remember why but I downloaded it and decided to find a different UI

[@yaroslavl1133]

Because if I understood correctly, you had troubles with uploading your (stockfish 17) engine. And i had no trouble uploading custom engines so i can assume that it probably would be easier with the chess arena...

[@jasonchiu272]

An extra queen is very powerful if you know how to use her, even against top rated chess bots. What happens if you do this same challenge but with other pieces like the rook?

[@iwantcheckmate]

Excellent question that I would like to explore in a future video

[@Matrackobra]

it was losing after Qf3 but you were up +0.14 but you waited 1 move longer with Ne5 which was 0

[@Matrackobra]

At least that's what my stockfish 16 says

[@Matrackobra]

g4 first big mistake and it was -1.32 to black

[@iwantcheckmate]

Interesting, I might need to play at a much higher depth than 25 then

[@Matrackobra]

​@@iwantcheckmate Lowkey you did amazing playing the top moves but it was just too passive (first game)

[@iwantcheckmate]

@@Matrackobra Haha thank you. Also your comment made me look into what version I was playing, and it was only Stockfish 10 which came with the program. So I am changing the title and adding Stockfish 17 and Leela right now. Thanks :)

[@johnbennett1430]

Stockfish but add a pawn until you win

[@FloydMaxwell]

20:13 - could have taken the b pawn instead of retreating the bishop

[@ckingpro]

What software did you use for stockfish? I use en-croissant and nibbler (which is really good with Leela but I can use stockfish too)

[@iwantcheckmate]

Hi! I used ChessX. Also en croissant is a hilarious name I love that

[@ckingpro]

agreed! I use en-croissant for game review analysis and leela for interesting opening ideas with nibbler

[@danylomusic4624]

Probably I suggested previously, and only one KZbinr played with stockfish without pawns. I mean you should remove all eight pawns from Stockfish, it will give stockfish more space but less material. And you would have plus five advantage

[@iwantcheckmate]

Interesting idea! And yes I believe you have, I’ll write it down as a future video idea

[@Francisco-m1k9t]

5:50, you can do Rxh5

[@nazismomsrhos]

At 9:11 you should have forced check by capping pawn.

[@xyaf.]

I like your videos

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thanks!

[@CrumbCrusader1]

first and i also have a idea, how much knights does martin need to beat you?

[@iwantcheckmate]

Good idea!

[@be_cool901]

Why do you give yourself the biggest advantage first? Shouldn't you replace something like a rook before you replace the weakest pawns

[@iwantcheckmate]

This is a fair point. This is the hardest engine I’ve played against yet so I believed I would need more queens. As I get more experience playing engines I’ll adjust accordingly :)

[@be_cool901]

​@iwantcheckmate It probably would have taken more queens, but that's kind of the point. It lets you find the balance point instead of just going to +8 material advantage

[@Chad_Brewski]

Stockfish 17 when?

[@iwantcheckmate]

Next two engines are Leela and Stockfish 17 (at depth 30)

[@SRP_PROGAMER]
