Stockfish 16 Sacrifices EVERYTHING!!!

Amazing attack by Stockfish 16 in the closed Sicilian as black.
Stockfish continues to demonstrate its ability to discover superior moves with remarkable speed. In self-play against Stockfish 15, this new release gains up to 50 Elo and wins up to 12 times more game pairs than it loses. In major chess engine tournaments, Stockfish reliably tops the rankings winning the TCEC season 24 Superfinal, Swiss, Fischer Random, and Double Random Chess tournaments and the CCC 19 Bullet, 20 Blitz, and 20 Rapid competitions. Leela Chess Zero was the challenger in most finals, putting top-engine chess now firmly in the hands of teams embracing free and open-source software.This updated version of Stockfish introduces several enhancements, including an upgraded neural net architecture (SFNNv6), improved implementation, and refined parameterization. The ongoing utilization of Leela’s data combined with a novel inference approach exploiting sparsity, and network compression ensure a speedy evaluation and modest binary sizes while allowing for more weights and higher accuracy. The search has undergone more optimization, leading to improved performance, particularly in longer analyses. Additionally, the Fishtest framework has been improved and is now able to run the tests needed to validate new ideas with 10000s of CPU cores.Stockfish now comes with documentation, found in the wiki folder when downloading it or on GitHub. Additionally, Stockfish now includes a clear and consistent forced tablebase win score, displaying a value of 200 minus the number of plies required to reach a tablebase win. Furthermore, the UCI_Elo option, to reduce its strength, has been calibrated. It is worth noting that the evaluation system remains consistent with Stockfish 15.1, maintaining the choice that 100cp means a 50% chance of winning the game against an equal opponent. Finally, binaries of our latest development version are now provided continuously as pre-releases on GitHub making it easier for enthusiasts to download the latest and strongest version of the program, we thank Roman Korba for having provided a similar service for a long time.

So attacking with the black pieces. That was truly amazing. Thanks Josip.

Fishy is GOD.....my HERO!!!!

[@ryans8122]

Amazing game, might be my second favorite computer game ive ever seen

[@Jozarovschesschannel]

What's Your favourite ?

[@ryans8122]

​@Jozarovschesschannel I don't remember exactly, but it was an alpha zero game where alpha pushed pawns in front of its king and they ended up in front of stockfish and stockfishs activity was completely denied

[@RD-uk6wt]

"after move 0, Stockfish was in a completly winning position..."

[@FloydMaxwell]

White's queen never moved. Mind blowing.

[@tanjirokamado2420]

Bro imagine someday Someone Defeat stockfish In classical matches Then I wonder how do you feel ?

[@Jozarovschesschannel]

Then we follow that engine.

[@trumplostlol3007]

These engines are not getting smarter. They are getting faster. Instead of doing searches, perhaps there is a better way to approach chess.

[@uthoshantm]

Are there clean traps? 😂

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

Thanks Jozarov - Stockfish crushed its opponent.

[@gheffz]

At least the AI in other engines are improving, too... they know when to resign quicker!!! You are right, Josip, I was an absolutely stunning performance by Stockfish. Stockfish only sacrifices for the advantage... easy to say, harder to do but the best of the best do that, including human players.

[@TheInfinity2012]

Sure, bring more stockfish content

[@adampolcz3692]

18. f4 would solve the issues for white. White played not the best moves in the game.

[@justarandomanimegirlpassin5341]

Please note in your videos when the engines start playing on their own or if they do that from move 1 also mention it if you said it and i missed it my bad but if not it would be a nice addition

[@hectormokhutshwane1196]

Whatever happened to Alphazero?

[@andreasmatthies5517]

It became a meme.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

Alpha zero forgot how to play chess, the last I knew it was working on problems in protein folding as a part of cancer research.

[@electricmaster23]

@@joseraulcapablanca8564just imagine if it did something useful like beating Stockfish 16!

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

@@electricmaster23 I honestly do not think it could beat Stockfish, and to be fair the match where it beat the old version was fixed for it to win, with the time control. However it did show how a neural network could outperform an expert system with incredible calculating ability. Stockfish is now a combination of expert system and neural network, and still has incredible ability to calculate.

[@MrJsintic]

I believe the Google team only used the chess exhibition to test the engines "thinking" capabilities before using it to solve actual problems.
