Can Martin Beat Stockfish with FORTYSEVEN Queens?

Hope everyone’s having a swell week so far :D Today, we are going to be giving the Martin Bot 47 (?!) queens to work with against Stockfish NNUE. Will Stockfish, the world’s strongest chess engine, be able to survive this?
Enjoy and let me know if you have any feedback or video ideas! Cheers to everyone!!

1. HOW TO SET UP THE MATCH
Go to www.chess.com/... and set up whatever crazy position you want to face Martin against. Then you just need to click on the bullseye button in bottom right corner. And from this screen, click on the computer icon in bottom right corner to select the bot you wish to play!
2. WHY STOCKFISH IS DRAGGING PIECES
This is just me playing the moves out from Stockfish, which I had running on another screen. I cut out time between moves when Stockfish is thinking. This process is beginning to be more automated - check out recent video (Stockfish 15.1 playing 1. f3) if interested to see this :D
3. WHY STOCKFISH IS 1600
This is just the ELO the account I created started at. I now just use inspect element to change the ELO to be 3700+ XD

You can argue that Martin is a very strong engine since random moves would give you a better result than what he does. So he is delibaretly plays bad moves which shows his understanding of the game is pretty good.

@@gfghdgfghd6391 There is, amusingly a bot even worse than Martin out there, I believe called "Worstfish" which is essentially "anti-stockfish" designed to always choose the worst moves possible. Amazingly, a grandmaster managed to gain the maximum possible material advantage (promoting all their pawns to queens and capturing all of the bot's pieces save the king and one pawn) and then deliberately lost to it by basically forcing it into a bunch of situations where the only legal move was for it to move into more advantageous positions.

In other words: Yes, Martin knows "all" the best moves and very deliberately doesn't play them.

[@Oridemic]

My first thought was that you could win by just trading every piece on the board, even trading queens for pawns. Where Martin falls short is that not only does he play chess in a confusingly pacifist way, refusing to take free pieces, but he also values his queens too much to ever sacrifice or trade them.

And it's possible to take pieces that will allow that Queen to take another piece instead of immediately being captured.

[@itisALWAYSR.A.]

The thing with the 47 Queen setup is it pretty much forces checkmate. Martin *could* eke a draw, but that would require optimal moves with perfect cooperation [eg 1. Nxa3, anyQxa3, 2. Rb1, both sides shuffle that rook and Queen back and forth to draw by repetition]. The issue comes is that Martin didn't get the memo, and isn't so organised either. His options are very limited with such a full board. He's practically obliged to capture pawns, and on such an open board, having dozens of queens makes mate near enough a mathematical certainty with so few degrees of freedom.

And it all depends on luck in that case.

Queen's biggest sacrifice

[@AliRadicali]

Was Martin designed to simulate a severely handicapped player? Or to lose on purpose?

[@sr_lol5793]

to lose on purpose, like, no one plays like Martin (except a 3y old kid whos learning how the pieces moves)

[@banana9494]

It makes me question how people have 250 level rating. It seems like martin was almost losing on purpose. Even a new player, if they are a real human, should win this position I believe, unless they are losing on purpose.

[@h.h.h.9307]

@@banana9494 humans dont lose this position simply because black just has way more than pieces than white.

[@se6369]

@@banana9494 Maybe it's suppose to make games even before he win or lose (most likely lose). To make games more exciting. So he's intentionally playing bad here, and if he had a bad starting position he plays great in the early game before always losing (to not reveal he's actually capable of playing great). Just a theory

[@mauer1]

Thing is the bot still uses stockfish but on a really low depth and it will essentially never do the top move. (except for certain exception like the checkmate in 2 in this video)

[@Pengochan]

Stockfish just optimizing to give Martin the most oportunities for a blunder. 3:25 converting to a knight, because conversion to a queen would force Martin to take.

[@JoeKempsey]

Yupp :D

[@adityapathak5908]

I don't need sleep. I need answers.

[@hardhitter009]

that eval bar just summoned by the gods

[@VGEmblem]

"It's impossible to lose this. Any move leads to victory" ..... Actually impressive.

[@zenaxia8063]

me before the match: 47 queens?? its not possible to lose" Martin:"is that a challenge?"

[@zselimegmen8714]

fact that you are right he did win

[@nguyentheson2767]

i feel pain when martin don't take a piece

[@Hordil]

Martin Bot 47? Guess the 47 stands for his ELO! Should have used this as basis for playing with my kids xD

[@JoeKempsey]

Hah

[@nathanielgreer2764]

Martin is the Glass Joe of Chess engines.

[@charc0al_tv]

Martin would absolutely destroy at the giveaway chess variant

[@cbandit7715]

why am i so proud of martin lol

[@stoneheademojie9210]

No doubts that Martin would make one of the smartest human beings to ever be known on this planet

[@memaglia8288]

Martin is like a relationship, unpredictable

[@spacevspitch4028]

Came for the title, stayed for the music.

[@JoeKempsey]

Thank you for watching !!!

[@henrijs1733]

Bro the music adds to the psychological torture. It's like a slow ballet that descends into hell.

[@JoeKempsey]

:O

[@definitelynotmeowzie5079]

Martin is insane, hes just better

[@sonicwaveinfinitymiddwelle8555]

martin is -100 elo lol

[@lanceareadbhar]

I kept pleading for Martin to trade 18 of his queens for 18 of White's pieces, but he said he had a better method to win. :)

[@hariman7727]

A human player can probably do it with a few less than eighteen Queen sacrifices, because there's a few spots where you can take a white piece without having your queen immediately captured.

[@rhuajjuu7726]

The second game is like a depressing apocalyptic horror movie where you need complete luck to survive

[@hariman7727]

No no... It's modern horror where the protagonists keep making the worst choices possible, so they all get eaten.

[@SuperZardo]

This Martin thingy plays like an amoeba. Must have been trained using the rules of checkers, lol.

[@abrahamhawkins1754]

Hans is taking notes for the next tournament.

[@marekhrabovsky5890]

I beat Martin 10:3 in 1 minute games. His quick random moves can be problem when you do not have time to think.

[@marekhrabovsky5890]

10:0 against Wayne...probably i found out how to play againt them...

[@JoeKempsey]

@@marekhrabovsky5890 :D nice! Yeah shorter time controls can be tricky for sure, especially since bots play so fast and Martin’s moves are simply unpredictable

[@renarddubois940]

wait Martin actually went for good moves!? I really thought Martin would find a way to loose this

[@restorasenrisei9991]

Dang, Stockfish out here re-enacting the French Revolution

[@JoeKempsey]

Hunting down the king at all costs!

[@brunoborma]

That's pure pain and agony. Thanks.

[@JoeKempsey]

SORRY

[@marcusrefsland7731]

0:47 As it turns out, the Martin bot can find a mate in two though, the bot struggles to find anything else. (Martin) wha tha- that’s me- mean (Martin crying)

[@JoeKempsey]

😅

[@IntrepidKhalid_213]

what was martin thinking when he didn't take the pawn bruv? 3:20

[@JoeKempsey]

He malfunctioned a bit 😅😅

[@andrasxi]

this is so painful to watch

[@flipwonderland]

the classic underdog story

[@100percentrekkie]

My eyes are bleeding now, thank you very much for this horrifying content.

[@akultechz2342]

5:04 the time when the legendary battle begins

[@JoeKempsey]

When the tables turn :)

[@INKDOGGYRBLX]

stockfish player 💀💀

[@justvoahxhdy]

Bro clearly doesn't understand 💀

[@azueri9187]

Stockfish is clearly cheating, Martin is too good to be beaten
