It's a brilliant move because stockfish has become so advanced that it knows about your winning condition

[@Cripplified]

If my chess coaching has taught me anything, it's that it's better to look for the best move or even an excellent/good move. Even master level players don't understand how brilliancy works with stockfish

[@U20E0]

⁠@@CripplifiedThat's because brilliant moves aren't decided by stockfish. It's some very arbitrary-seeming conditions stacked on top of a best move.

[@CheckmateSurvivor]

Stockfish can get very confused when you play different setup variants, such as Gaugamela Chess.

[@Archiv1st]

Nd6: drops evaluation from +0.1 to -0.28. Stockfish: a brilliant move, by the way

[@AndrewBrownK]

I need to understand

[@lerarosalene]

@@AndrewBrownK Stockfish provides evaluation as a number. Positive number means white is winning, negative - black is winning. If after your move evaluation becomes less in your favor, it means that you probably did something wrong. It's not like this drop is significant, tho, but still, Nd6 isn't even in top three moves that Stockfish suggests. That's why I am puzzled about how this is brilliant move.

[@TheAkunoKage]

​@lerarosalene Brilliant moves, as I understand it, are moves where stockfish's evaluation is game-losingly negative on low depth, but fine or better on higher depth.

[@RanetaCroak]

@@TheAkunoKage They also only count as brilliant if you're sacrificing a piece. It's also derived from your rating IRC, so the same brilliant 100 elo move may not count as brilliant for a high elo player.

[@mince-raftalt165]

Idc he got bishop pair

[@Poyntlesss]

Brilliant moves are now awarded for brilliant content posted day after day. Nobody thanks you for your work, but thanks Simp, your blend of funny and clever videos bring a nice spark of joy.

[@Modie]

They changed brilliant moves at some point. Now, whenever you sacrifice a piece and it's keeping the advantage (or it keeps the balance) then it will be considered a brilliant move. Even if it's not an actual sacrifice like here. It's easier to understand why it's brilliant, but it also made it that you get more !! than ! at low levels.

[@RealGamemistory]

No it's because at lower ratings these moves are harder to find s9 stockfish considers them as brilliant

[@Modie]

@@RealGamemistory Just watch the Candidates tournament and you'll see how often Brilliant moves are given. Doubt they think they are hard to find for players at this rating level. The rating level was what they did before. Back then, brilliant was the highest form of only moves. Basically if you only had one good move and the computer considered it to be hard to find at your rating level, it was giving out a brilliancy. That often was a sacrifice, because at lower levels up to maybe 2000 these might be hard to spot, but as mentioned, they changed, probably because people like to see brilliant moves.

[@stevemc01]

To be fair, I think the brilliancy comes from the fact you’re threatening an open bishop and delaying castling. …or something. You trade your knight for a generally stronger position on the board.

[@Lettuce-fl4wt]

random is a library, dictionary is another concept. love your videos man

[@aliceroberts5928]

I put the position into an engine to try understand why it thinks this is a brilliant move. It thinks if queen takes it's +0.01 But it thinks that black should play, Bishop takes knight, +1.34 I'm not sure why the engine thinks the best move is to play something that puts it as a 1.34 disadvantage, but that's the reason.

[@ylnysanchez3859]

This wouldn't be close to the first time I see low depth Stockfish completely contradict it's own ratings from one move to the next.

[@anthonylloydii96]

This makes me think of a new idea: 100-rated chess, but it's battleship. you choose a square every turn to keep your opponent from placing pieces on... and a square is chosen at random on your opponents turn to make that square unusable for you. if a piece is already on a square designated as unusable, that piece cannot move. you cannot pick a square on your turn that the random generator has chosen on your opponent's turn. If the game lasts more than 32 combined turns (you run out of squares), the video ends.

[@husklyman]

Imagine if the opponent wanted to play b5, but the internet crashed just before it happened

[@faxhandle9715]

The square should have just been unavailable for Chess Simp. No reason to also handicap the opponent!

[@TheMMMification]

The idea is that Chess Simp not only can't move through that square, he also has to prevent his opponent from moving through the square.

[@Gabriel_Melgem]

I hate that the oponent also needs to follow the rules, it would be better if the only loss condition is being checkmated or lose the challenge, and not "my oponent dont follow the rules, i lose" (Unless the challeng says so)

[@JJ_R]

I wonder how many times you’d have to redo that, if the randomizer selected the 1, 2, 7 & 8 ranks.

[@eagleclaws1781]

Well IT only means the square is untraversable, so every pawn/piece on rank 1,2,7 and 8 would be Frozen and couldnt be captured

[@laurentverweijen9195]

It's a geometric distribution with p=0.5. So the expected number of times you would need to (re)do the experiment is 2 or you can simply exclude these ranks if you don't want them.

[@flyingsteaks]

I think it's because although the same amount of material, bishops are better than knights and you swap one for the other whilst having a power positioned bishop if you follow it up with a supporting queen

challenge idea: chess, but you cant move onto the yellow squares (where your opponent last moved from and to)

[@rkanava7245]

That's basically no taking + a small extra restriction about not moving to enemy piece's previous position. This challenge can go very qrong very quickly.

[@ConfusionUwU]

@@rkanava7245 no taking would only apply for one turn, so it's a bit easier than that

[@asterism343]

that means no recapturing which has previously been established as making a challenge way too hard

[@anthonychrane560]

It's brilliant because the account is 100 rated. They take rating into account and since bishops are concidered a little better than knights, it's concidered a "win," and that's a very hard move to find at 100 rating

[@JessicaThorst]

Cat colour randomisation would be cool, but I'm already subscribed

[@Confusion372]

good move, checkmate technically

[@AhoyMapping13]

Probably brilliant because it’s a quadruple fork on the king (the knight move)

TENNISON GAMBIT! I play that all the time, it's quite fun. even if I'm not very good with it lol

[@someaccount5200]

In 2:33 I believe taking the knight with the dark bishop is forced, which then lets you take the white bishop with the white bishop with tempo

[@makotohanazawa6560]

this is nothing compared to the hard one on drawback chess that randomises half the squares unavailable on every move. i checkmated my opponents king and guess what. on the next move he took my mating piece and i couldnt take back what a terribly imbalanced game

[@RoundShades]

Definitely a "that's rough buddy" moment

[@squintzrules7326]

I'm not sure if any other comment mentioned already but it is actually much worse than a 1/64 before the challenge even starts, there is a 50/50 chance the challenge will be impossible and you will lose automatically because of the starting location of the pieces Additionally, the center 2 squares on the opposing side are almost certainly auto losses, since a majority of players even at lower elo will inevitably enter those squares at some point during the early point in the match. I don't count the center on the play side (your side) since anyone with this challenge would not intentionally throw and enter these squares. We could also include some other extremely common moves to illustrate how bad the odds are to even play this challenge, but that is a little contrived and one could make an argument for any square on the board being a "common move" With all that said, it's essentially a 17/32 to *lose* even before you begin. You only truly have a 15/32 chance to even play the game. Excellent work as always.

[@db7541]

Did you… did you read the challenge?

[@squintzrules7326]

​@@db7541 yeah, this is a lack of reading comprehension on my part. I took "cannot be traveled through" to mean "if either player enters the square with any piece for any reason, the challenge is forfeit" which is an insane thing to interpret but yeah that's my bad
