To play at 99% against a cheater is still incredibly impressive. GMs are really something else.

[@lucasmatsuoca]

He did play a great game, and almost perfect, but that rook vs rook 50 moves endgame increases the final accuracy by 3% or 4%.

[@j.r.8176]

He had memorized all the engine best moves. He knew exactly what his opponent was going to play and the response.

​@@Algorhythm027 Stockfish 1.01 release 2008 , Rating: 2743 (compare to chessmaster software where they have 2700-2900 bots that play a bit under their rating at the time, like most 2300 elo humans can beat them, I've personally beat the first couple versions of Stockfish even if it took me hundreds or thousands of games, since I've been playing engines most my life (and I'm just 2100)) I think somewhere around Stockfish 6 or 7 it gets impossible to beat for me (3200-3300 if I remember correctly, I also cannot beat Chesscoms Max computer which is around the same strength, got several draws though against them), and Stockfish 8 or 9 by then is impossible for any human to beat and been 'superhuman' since then (and as you might know another 7 versions released since then lol) But there's a lot of versions that are doable for advanced/expert/master players if you go way back.

This was not SF, the cheater constanly played different moves than what SF wanted. It was probably Leela or something.

[@Jartran72]

@@Algorhythm027 No Sf1 was still very materialistic and could be beaten just by strategy by Super gms. That is shown by for example SF 9 beating SF1 with rook odds! A whole rook is removed from SF9 and it still wins effortlessly. That shows that humans still have a chance. However any current engine sure is without human reach.

basically they both played engine moves, it wasnt Aman being smart and finding moves, it was him being prepared beforehand. If you engine Before the game and remember it, its allowed, but essentially this game was just engine vs engine until the endgame

Because of the drawn rook game. He had 50 moves that were always the top engine move because it just did not lose the game and remains completely drawn at 0.00, that plus the long drawn period before that. If you just don't make bad movs in drawn endgames you can farm tons of accuracy. Even sub 1000s get 99+ games when they play out drawn endgames for a 100 moves.

[@larryberger8830]

What is the song that’s being played to start this video?

[@gavinotoole2864]

Aman, Is there ever any games you or Eric play were your opponent is not cheating, but genuinely under-rated and really good? I know you guys must face alot of cheaters. But what percentage would you say of the players who you suspect of cheating, do you think are just genuinely good at chess and know theory? Or is the reason you guys don't make videos title "Cheater is actually undercover GM!" Because you would recognise who it is? I've been wondering about this for a while.

[@cluelessmango768]

I think there are key moments in games where a play is made that is just so inhuman, that it ought to be an engine. Additionally, time spent per move is often telling. An “undercover GM” will do some moves basically instantly because they know it’s the only move. A cheater needs to wait on the engine to tell them that. There was a moment at 8:26 where white just moves the Queen one square for 2 turns in a row. These are not moves any 1700 would know, so you’re either cheating or a secret GM. There is no way a 1700 studied that line. Why would a GM spent these weirdly long amounts of time (2 or so minutes) for multiple moves in a row? It’s very weird and not always for a difficult move either (though I wouldn’t know that, I base that on Aman’s commentary). It reeks of cheating

[@riccardozanoni2531]

a 1700 player actually winning against a gm is just as likely as a 400 winning against a 1700... no way it's just a matter of being under rated with such a disparity. Also, the time usage is usually a great tell

[@secretshinobi6240]

the cheater was as accurate as walter white's meth was pure

[@ejflor1313]

How did the system recognize that the cheater was cheating but also recognize that Aman was not? Was it because of the long time between moves? Is game history a factor? Presumably the system didn’t know Aman was a GM because it was a different account?

[@lucasdeoliveira5316]

They take some out-of-the-board factors into consideration and the way they interact with the moves themselves, like the time between moves and the difficulty to find them. For example, if you consistently take 10-20 seconds to play insanely complicated moves and also forced moves, the algorithm gets really suspicious. They also take into account the number of times the user changed tabs during the game. I think the age of the account also plays a role, but I might be mistaken. If you come across the infamous report of Hans Niemann's games, they explain many of the factors in great detail.

[@unlimaki9491]

Probably the game history. You do know that there is a team who looks at the history of a player especially the accuracy

[@abominationdesolation8322]

41:22 when you pushed your pawn forward I'm pretty sure white had the opportunity to promote by offering a rook trade on b7. Whether you move your rook to check the king or the pawn doesn't matter because the king defends with b6. If you don't check again then they just promote in a few turns and if you do check again then they can just run under/around their rook and also promote. However I'm glad the cheater lost; they wouldn't have deserved that win.

[@thetransferaccount4586]

more like cheater ate your time out

[@KNNY61]

It was all theory until it wasn't; and then the real choices were so few that the accuracy remained. Kudos that Chessbrah kept him from winning.

[@ajsorensen2585]

There are ALOT of these kids out there, the best is when they're rated 700 and play 90+ accuracy, and I get destroyed playing with human accuracy, the incredible theory exists at much lower elo levels, check out every public tournament, a 400 elo is winning constantly, makes perfect sense, just fantastic

[@plresurectzbrokena4997]

Actually I am around 1800 and I made some accounts just for fun that are 400-1k to play tournaments , I did not need to cheat at all because the players were actually bad but I gotta tell that there are many that does this because I recognized some players that have around 400 and played like 2k , it's normal . For tournaments it's actually winning fast , as fast as possible , playing with an engine just slows you , you can win way faster without looking at engine moves if you now basic errors that low elo players do
