for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified [a]freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, romans 3:23-24 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. romans 6:23 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” john 14:6-7 amen to the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?” 34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. john 8:31-36 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven-the Son of Man And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should [a]not perish but have eternal life For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in The Name of God’s One and only Son And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God john 3:13-21 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life john 8:12 amen Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”27 She said to Him, “Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” john 11:25-27 Jesus’ Message of love and salvation for all. Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the third day and by the shedding of His blood our sins are forgiven. God is holy God is love. all sin and fall short of God’s glory and the wages of sin is death. all who serve sin are slaves to sin leading to death but while we were still sinners Christ Jesus died for us so that we may be saved from sin, death and hell and have life everlasting with God and Jesus forevermore. The gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior now and forevermore. believe in Jesus and be saved, declare with mouth Jesus is Lord, believe in heart that God raised Him from dead you are saved, walk in the newness of light and life as Jesus is The Light and Life and Resurrection of the world. ask The Holy Spirit to guide you now in Jesus Name we pray amen, read God’s Word in The Bible His everlasting perfect whole flawless Word as Jesus is The Living Word, pick it up and see how it changes your life, john 1,3,14 romans 3,5,6,8,10 psalms revelation luke galatians philippians ephesians are all good places to start. if you have any questions let me know and i will help as best as i can with God’s guidance in The Holy Spirit.

Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [d]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 corinthians 5

One of you promotes a piece 3. They will say a win/lose quote all situations only have one line. also a funny thing about the bots: they actually trashtalk their own openings.

The "That check doesn't scare me" should only be played when they are currently winning, so it would make more sense. They could at least do that much. Also might make more sense if they didn't say those lines when the check is literally just a trade of pieces, but that might be more difficult to program idk.

[@marcusverna4328]

I enjoyed your lessons/tutorials previously about fried liver attack and traxler counter attack, I even copied the notations ( moves ) cause I'm not good at chess but now I'm learning something. How come you are so generous in sharing your knowledge. Many thanks!

[@marvelguy8101]

Dude, you are freaking amazing. Also, love the subtle New York humor. My wife looks at me curiously when I laugh out loud watching your videos, since I usually have my headphones on. She doesn't see how a chess video could be funny. Anyway, I have been stuck at about 1000 rating. Been playing about six months. I realized that I had no plan for my pawn endgame. I always groaned when it got to the endgame. Was too lazy to learn strategy. Who wants to learn boring pawn endgames, right? Like . . . why would the fourth quarter of a football game matter, right? Duh. I finally realized I needed to learn this crap. I pulled my chessboard out, and meticulously went over this video (I also went over Queen and Pawn Endgame). I felt like I was back in college playing the Mike Tyson Punchout video game (long before your time). My buddies and I could never knock Tyson out, until my brother bought a book that gave the secrets to beating Tyson (By the way, "books" are pages of writing bound in cardboard, in case you're not sure what a book is! Hey, how's that for New York humor, right?). Your endgames videos are like that to me. Wow. Oh, I'm not sure if you read all of your comments, but, if you do, give a shout out to my daughter's song about Chess, called "Chessboard." Yeah, this is a cheap plug, but it's not why I watched your videos. Her name is Amanda Fagan. Who writes songs about chess, right? On that issue alone, she should get a metal. Besides, the song is actually freaking awesome. It's on KZbin and Spotify. Keep up the great work. I'm going to keep watching your endgame videos. Can't wait to torture other people with my newfound knowledge. (I posted this message on a few of your videos because I don't know if you read all of the comments on all of your videos, since you have so many comments).

[@analogblues]

Agreed! Though maybe it was a terrible high school team? Lol.

[@TheDingobat]

Not necessarily, I was rated around 1650 when I won my highschool chess tournament. Maybe it depends where you live. Chess isn't very popular in my area.

[@leithteebi5128]

@Brandon Tyler chess was a lot more popular back the.

[@kreia187]

I think the reason she could do that was not only her rating. That only really reflects how accurate your moves in any given game will be. Now, obviously, that doesn't mean anyone who plays 10 games at the same time will be as good in all of them, as when they are playing and focusing on one game only, because most people can't concentrate and remember that many boards and will miss things, that their opponent doesn't, because they only have to focus on that one game. Beth Harmon however, had a very special gift in that she was exceptional at imagining the game and playing in her head, so she was able to bring the same attention to every single game. Her rating is just relatively low, because her knowledge and understanding of the game itself, at this point, weren't fully developed. Basically, her gift allowed her to play as many games simultaneously as she wanted, but her ability to play chess in general, wasn't that great in that scene. Fortunately, none of the club members were over 1600.

Watching your confusion over the hung piece gave me a thought: it's arguably harder to program a chess bot to be lower rated than to play perfectly. How does it know which blunders to make? Are they randomly generated, or do they play a role in further development?

[@LinusAkaPano]

I'd think there's a list of 99 possible choices and they are ranked from best to worth. And then a weighted calculation decided in which range the bot plays, which can at random strike very high up for some godlike picks and more often very far down for some super poor choices. In reality a machine doesn't just know the top 3 choices, it'll know the whole range but how pinpoint its aim is is solely based on how much time it has to calculate.
