I play the modern every game, it leads to such dynamic games. Would recommend to anyone who doesn’t like theory and prefers crazy positions to boring classical ones which have been played a million times before

[@KRYPTOS_K5]

Only when openning with bkacks

[@beri4138]

Never thought I'd see an engine just spontaneously decide to play the hippo. Great game indeed.

[@Jartran72]

it did not. They choose the opening 4-10 moves for the engines and both sides play this position from white and black

[@academiaxadrezdanielromao]

What i like in Leela is the style. Leela plays like Tigran Petrosian, close the position, sac the exchange, play with paws, squeezing, no counter-play. The player that impressed me most, is Petrosian.

[@johndugdale]

Go Leela! Leela fan club. Thanks again - very much enjoying the TCEC coverage.

[@leslassiter6378]

Usually white delays the d5 move until the bishop goes to b7. That gives white a slight advantage in space. Leela fooled the engine with the a6 move instead of Bb7. Black ended up with a very favorable King's Indian set up which can't be had any other way.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

As you say fabulous attacking chess. Keep up the good work KC, thanks.

[@Ebobster]

Beautiful game shows well the kingside attacking potential of the Hippo vs the classical 2 Nts set up. More please.. preferably vs a 3 pawn set up.

[@1203jjt]

Best video in a while... Excellent!

[@gluonpa6878]

Absolute pawnography.

[@nickdurdn]

Amazing game! Thanks KC, awesome.

[@palfers1]

What a way to wake up! Thanks for the super commentary.

[@AnacondaHL]

This game was a blast to watch live. Just an absolute clinic. Pedone really dropped the ball by not applying enough Queenside counter pressure!

[@modolief]

As I start to watch this video I'm also looking at TCEC live and seeing DeusX vs Pedone. I noticed on move 34 that DeusX played g4 and all of a sudden it's eval jumped from 3.x to like 6.x -- about double. How could a pawn break in a late middle game position be so important? It didn't look like a tactical sequence. It took Pedone quite a while to find out it was lost. It's nice to see the graph of the evals, especially of the NN vs AB games.

[@mrbdzz]

Wow, Leela playing anti-engine chess!

[@leonardopires9648]

Impressive video

[@tomyman]

bishop on c8 was a key piece and still didn't move! hilarious

[@jamesmicheal3944]

This moves is like Anthony Brown Chess engine ARB Chess System Hippo moves . But Lila chess did learn it also . This is amazing . Lila is one great chess program I think Lila is learning g more everyday. I think Lila needs more games like GM games I gurantee that Lila cannot be beat in about two years from now

[@ChrisVaust]

Someone should really try further training Leela with play against Stockfish. Imagine if every game was steered into this sort of position.

[@kingscrusher]

[@longball756]

kingscrusher thank you for the additional lines!

[@jimn.weison3683]

Highly entertaining.

[@YesPlease1]

Could someone link to the TCEC session 13 division 4, 3 etc. results (not individual games, I mean standings table)? I can't figure out how to find it but want to see how our girl Leela did

[@maxpheby7287]

Leela can still promote as they are going to replay that game the network dropped so fingers crossed. But even if leela does It's in serious need of TB or to stop taking huge risks in the endgame chasing drawn games.

[@A8nton]

I don't think Leela should get a TB, I want to see if Leela can grasp the concept of endgames without help.It's part of the beauty of NNs that they are completly self taught.I rather like Leela without brute force components.

[@CASINEROCHILENO]

Wooooow the romantic age of chess has returned by neuronal intelligence, wooow greetings from Chile

[@GiacomoCalabrese]

Nice

[@rotcod2886]

Question: Does Leela know who her opponent is going to be? Can she "prepare" for playing an engine?

[@brianteskey2425]

Rotcod no

[@bhgtree]

With the way NN's are developing, maybe thats next.

[@Jartran72]

thats not how engines work. They just calculate the best moves, they don't take their opponents into account.

[@justinmeek81]

Where can I find the pgn for this game

[@gregainsborough9866]

Another nice win for Leela! Go Leela!

[@PeterSotosEPT]

What's the score at?

[@PeterSotosEPT]

KC can you do a vid on the current score? I am also a fan of Leela!

[@Mikeontube]

3:59 !!

[@hutja727]

Holy cow Leela!

[@Mikey-gs1dx]

I'm not sure the TCEC people know what they're doing: Hannibal disconnected with Pedone in game 71 in the schedule but this disconnect isn't reflected in the crosstables. They had no low-end engines disconnect last division yet, with these higher-end engines, they've managed to have five disconnects(one was allowed to be replayed) by four separate engines(one of which not reflected in the crosstables but still seen in the schedule). I know as an admin, I would be fired for this sort of performance.

[@grolich]

Except the admin has no control over it - some of the servers are off site, so internet issues will be there (and games that were adjudicated because of that are replayed. one already has been, one will be shortly). As for the several (all the other cases) engine crashing - that is the engines' executable, out of any sort of control of the admin. The mistake is often because the report is "* disconnected*, but it only means disconnected from the interface running the engine. The extensive logs are used to determine what caused the disconnection from the interface. So far, none of the cases seem to have been caused by an issue that the admin/s had any ability to control. And while it's too bad that the GPU issues are off site and rented, adding more issues, I'm sure it would be a lot more expensive to get it to work otherwise... and it would probably take more donations to TCEC.

[@Mikey-gs1dx]

The server being rented doesn't make them less responsible. Only one disconnection is alleged to happen on those servers. The rest happened in their own backyard. Also, those executables crashing is what I'm calling into question. I want to stress responsibility here because a lot of people think as you do, that's it's okay to point the finger at everyone else. If I hold a competition and put someone else in control of any aspect of it and they fuck up, that's ultimately my fault. It was my competition. You take responsibility.

[@pastorofmuppets4552]

"This knight trapped in Siberia." LOL

[@renesterk]

Ra6. Wow. Stuff that you really want to do but you never have the balls to do.

[@GautomChutia-sc8qq]

Why top gms don't play KID.Strong engines are crushed by kid

[@freshyeska9875]

What is "KID"?

[@vargas2022]

Hippopotamus? Rat Defence? Hedgehog? Anyways, I was utterly unimpressed with Pedone's play here. A sitting duck, clueless about what was coming to it. Really insipid. An educational game. How to squish an engine that has no idea about opening the position on favorable or at least equal terms.

[@sausage4mash]

I would of played rook takes a6 too, no one can accuse leela of being materialistic
