How Many Rooks to BEAT Martin?

In this video I find out how many rooks I need to beat the Martin bot. Like and subscribe for more chess content!

[@Hilter420]

Martin certainly made some Rookie mistakes in this

[@masterfennon1663]

GET OU-

[@Stephcurry-e7v]

That was pretty corny

[@Frey-y5c]

That is pretty good

[@skeletonwarlock5741]

Rooky

[@3-E16SOYatNok]

Yeah yeah veryfunny

[@LostKin69]

Another idea. Can I beat Martin with guesses? Normal setup, but when it's your turn, you decide your next two moves (rather than 1, of course). If the second move becomes illegal, you just plan two moves starting there

[@iwantcheckmate]

That’s a great idea!

[@LostKin69]

@iwantcheckmate thanks! 🤙

[@InhaereBisecare]

I'd suggest the Zukertort for this challenge, since you can premove nf3 c4 or nf3 d4@@iwantcheckmate

[@Dallanimation]

​@@iwantcheckmatecall it 2 steps ahead

[@Laezar1]

Tried and did it first try! I'm only 1300 so he'd probably need to plan 3 moves Wasn't too hard but a bit sketch, lost my queen to an unexpected pawn move and failed my mate with 2 rooks so I had to march pawns to make two queens to make it easier =p (was definitely totally doable with two rooks just got a bit reckless lol) It's interesting how early on the scary thing is how many attacks there are so you need to make attacking moves with a safe waiting move first so you can play around the possible answer, but later one the freedom of movement becomes a problem cause if you plan to attack on move 2 the piece is much more likely to have moved (especially since there are fewer pieces so each individual piece is more likely to move)

How many bishops you need to beat martin. You start with 2 bishops, one light and one dark, and a king. The rules are the same as in the current video.

[@Indra_the_goblin]

My guess for the programming is that he basically gets a selection of valid moves and how good each is, then essentially rolls a die that's heavily weighted towards worse moves, that way he's constantly doing bad moves but can still do good moves

Prediction here, How many knights to beat martin? 🙋

[@iwantcheckmate]

Good prediction! 😅

2!

I will guess 3

[@ramazi75]

4

[@julle4017]

1 queen, 9 points. 2 rooks 10 points, so maybe 3 knights 9 points?

Video idea: Beat Stockfish 10 without your pawns

[@ohasis-i7b]

Try beating a low elo bot, but you only get 4 opening moves and those are the only pieces you can use for the remainder of the game

[@ohasis-i7b]

Or maybe start at 4, and increase from there. The concept should be pretty straightforward though

[@iwantcheckmate]

Cool idea!!!

[@swampsoup20]

[@iwantcheckmate]

Appreciate you, glad you like the content! 🙏

[@LevatekGaming]

So glad this vid was in my recommended and hope to see these vids continued with bishops and knights next. I also think you should revisit this challenge but stay on 1 rook until you beat Martin, it’s definitely possible!

[@iwantcheckmate]

Good idea! And thanks for the kind comment!

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you! I'm happy to hear it :)

[@ckingpro]

Martin can only see mate in 1 which is guaranteed. Mate > 1 depends.

[@iwantcheckmate]

That sounds right :)

[@Galakyllz]

I'm sure someone else has already pointed it out, but you could have gotten the bishop sooner near the end, but you instead went kingside.

[@s.o.k.1393]

I love how rook and king against a FULL set of pieces is only -14 apparently

Next HAS to be Bishops. Keep up the amazing work, love the eval bar.

[@Viximy]

A great sequel after the queen video!

[@ikeresparza9196]

12:44 why didn’t you take the bishop?

[@KrisTheLid-d8w]

If he take Black rook goes to C6 and he loses his rook

[@KrisTheLid-d8w]

Nvm

[@Azariy0]

He missed it because that bishop was defended for a while, so it wasn't an intuitive move, compared to taking the pawn, which was his plan, which distracted him.

[@edgarhilbert4797]

Because if Rxc8 then Rc6+, have to move the King and Rxc8.

[@iwantcheckmate]

@Azariy0 said it best. I quickly calculated that if I took the bishop I would lose the last rook to Martin playing Rc6, but this was wrong because I take the bishop with check! Thanks to all who pointed this out

[@Luxebus]

Great stuff, maybe you could make some tutorials of openings or so, your way of speaking is really informative

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you! That’s a good idea

[@terankehler575]

Hey I wanted to take this opportunity to share some thoughts. Firstly im obsessed with your teaching style. Keep up the good work, you’re very talented and entertaining. Anyway, I like the long videos. I want you when I’m eating a meal or getting ready for work in the morning so the longer the better. That 1h+ pawns vs Magnus video was so well done, sorry to hear you were getting sick of it by the end :( I also want to say that I like when you add the analysis, it makes it longer and I find I can get more out of a gave if I watch you explain why you did or didn’t do a move in comparison to the engines suggestions. Keep up the hard work.

[@iwantcheckmate]

[@kisslas]

At 7:23, I would have tried Rb3. Rxb3 is an instant draw by stalemate and while there is a chance Martin takes that anyway, perhaps it is programmed to realize that it has winning chances. In either case, better than walking into checkmate.

[@GrumpyIan]

You've done Martin and Stockfish. Now we need Gothem and worst fish.

[@Andrewstown]

All Martin had to do was push up the pawns in front of his rooks. can’t take with king, take with your own rook is a fried rook

[@William.Steadman]

Just found your channel yesterday, love your content dude

[@iwantcheckmate]

[@lukas_ls]

Idea for a video: Do it the other way around with stockfish. Give stockfish one queen (or maybe two, one might be not enough) and play against it until it gets checkmate

I have a really good idea for some videos 1) can i beat checkmate martin with two knights 2) Can i beat martin if i only hace a rook and he has a queen 3) Can i best Magnus or Gotham if i ha e a queen and they have a rook 4) can I beat gotham chess if he has only rooks

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thanks! These are cool!

[@toni7744]

Another idea:play magnus on two games simultaniously(idk if thats how to spell it but you get what i mean) but the move on the first game needs to be the same on the second game and if you cant play the same move on both games then see what position is better and try to beat that one.

Hey! Don't know if my comment went through. But I'll rewright it anyway. Video idea: try beat Hikaru with only premoves, or Martin if it makes it easier. (It makes more sense if its Hikaru since he's known for premoves, but he's hard to beat, so if you want to do either Martin or Hikaru, that's fine) Name it: I beat Hikaru or Martin depending on who you picked if you do, do this idea. But anyways I beat Hikaru with only premoves/I beat Martin with only premoves Thanks if you see this comment anyway!
