Where Leela fails Stockfish prevails! - Stockfish 16 vs Lc0 - TCEC Season 26 Superfinal

[@torstencuber9114]

I think, the most important fact concerning Stockfish's play is, that the fish improved his (its) positional play enormously by using the NNUE technology that was invented by Leela and the Company behind it, Google. The play of Stockfish improved with every new version, because it "learned" so much from Leela. We could compare this with the epic battle between Garry Kasparov and Anatoli Karpov. At the beginning of his fantastic career, Kasparov was a fantastic attacking player, but lacked some stubbornness and inventiveness when it came to positional play where there was no tactics. But in his match against Karpov he learned so much about strategy and positional play that he became an even stronger player, an universal player both supreme in attacking and positional play, and even in the endgame, where Karpov used to be the best player in the world. Today this reminds me of the clash between Stockfish and Leela. Stockfish improved enormously from its matches against Leela and the implementation of Leela's new technological approach of playing chess with the use of neural networks. This made Stockfish supreme in attacking, positional play and even in the endgame. So, i think, Stockfish's success owes very much to Leela and its creators!

Great comment. The comparison is that you made is on spot. Really a Kasparov - Karpov similarity

Fantasticly tactical played by Stockfish wow, genious tactical level! Normally I find end games a bit boring but here it was thrilled till the end :)

_That's why SF stops that!_ Love that statement on your game recap! And also _Where Leela fails, Stockfish prevails!_ I did get the B4 move but thought that was too easy a move, ha! Great game, great coverage, great victor in the Final... well, there's still 56 games to play but I agree with you, it's unlikely that Leela finds 5 or more wins... it's more likely that SF will find 5 more wins and extend it's overall lead to 10.

[@Jozarovschesschannel]

I also think that the difference will be around + 10 for the fish

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

Great tactics and beautiful endgame. Thanks Josip.

[@yanceyward3689]

Just wow on that b4 move.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

b4 Agadmator’s favorite move a lot of Brilliant !! Pawn pushes from the fish leading right into the attack

[@swordwaker7749]

There is a kind of piece shuffling at the middle of the game. If I understand correctly, chess engines are extremely good at this position thanks to something called transposition table. Basically, the chess engines remember the positions that have been evaluated with gigabytes of memory allowing a very large number of position to be stored inside the transposition table. Since there are only a few pieces that can move (pawn moves/etc would be losing), the chess engine could've evaluated the possible arrangements of piece and know if there is a way to manuever pieces to "exit" the position (via pawn move, capture, allowing capture, etc...) in an advantageous way. Just telling. We know that chess engines have fast compute, but it has lots of memory too.

Wow powerful pawn moves !! from Stockfish great moves Great attack good effort from Leela but the fish outstanding Enjoy your Day 😊♟️

[@finnpikulla9391]

Love ur Videos❤

[@Life-Sky]

26:38 I would love for you to show in what moves the engines deviate and what move was better (like you did in a Queen Sac videos were Leela doesn't block the pawn and Stockfish crushes her with black). I really like your commentary, keep it up!

[@raylopez99]

I gave the 64th like to this video, the same as the number of squares on a chessboard. Funny how often you see this number!

[@IdeyaNibradtv]

Why are less viewers? You are better in analysis and you are so much better of chess youtuber out there.

[@okcjoesos]

So far Fish has won game 5 and I believe game 22 on Black. Lela has zero wins on Black so far.

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

7:46 brilliant exchange sac by Leela that would have won against any human.

[@okcjoesos]

37 was interesting as well though I believe it was a draw.

[@Jozarovschesschannel]

I’ll check it out, thanks

[@lukechess]
