Manuel Bot Is Terrifying

[@joshuathrasher4562]

my guy didnt bully martin today he found his new opponent

[@iwantcheckmate]

Haha he’s a little bit stronger…. :)

[@joshuathrasher4562]

@@iwantcheckmate also congrats on 5k

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thanks!

[@IsaacGoundar]

@iwantcheckmate can you please try and checkmate Martin with a bishop promotion?

[@Shonji_Ikori]

Game review on this one was hilarious, great content as always!

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you! I was certainly surprised 😅

[@Aaa93281]

Hey! Dude congrats in 5k subs! Although you deserve more than 5k, hope you blow up again! Also i love your content, keep going, you also have taught me some tactics, thank you!

[@iwantcheckmate]

I’m glad to hear it! And thank you very much, this is all quite exciting :)

[@anabellepowell1234]

You are a big heart

[@BlueberBluebbery]

:O

[@mikipoon]

Bro remembered almost all the move they played last time. And learn from his mistakes. Impressive!!

[@iwantcheckmate]

Hahaha came back with a plan!! :D

[@LovelyYellowSoul]

Thanks for including the pgn in the description. I’m definitely seeing a bit more analysis in the comments on this one.

[@iwantcheckmate]

Of course! :)

[@feroshinakonami]

I always love watching like an podcast, paying attention on moves while practicing board view, congrats on 5k!

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you! And glad you enjoy :D

[@Noah_eotlr]

I would enjoy a video on the london system, common responses. I know that's kind of a basic video concept, so if you have a recommended resource, that works too. Loving your content so far!

[@iwantcheckmate]

I’ll add it to my video ideas list! Thank you!!!

[@aishahthecat6732]

I always pay attention to which words people like using, and yours is 'zapto-second' for any unit of time ranging from a year to 4 seconds

[@DvdBShow]

Another great video, thanks for uploading homie

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thanks for watching!

[@DonttCryyyyyy]

Congrats on 5 k brother , you have a long way to go for sure

[@DonttCryyyyyy]

I’m narcos btw if you remember , i subscribed from this id too

[@iwantcheckmate]

I appreciate that, thank you :)

[@lyranem]

I enjoy you analyzing your games (both in real time and afterwards) so much, it genuinely helps my 800 elo brain. Engine just doesn’t explain things like people do. Maybe after you finish toying with the bots you could try recording live games with similar analysis (as a semi-regular series)? No nonsense, just genuine games - they could even be not that interesting, but you sure know a lot of theory I never read before

[@belchgod]

maybe like subscirber games or smth?

[@lyranem]

@@belchgod Nice idea! Would lack a bit of thinking aloud through the situation, but much easier to do

[@iwantcheckmate]

Yes! I’ve had this request before, I’m planning on doing something like it for next week’s videos. It would be really fun with subscribers maybe as a livestream, but I’ll do it first with just human players. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@Warmwarmy]

I've been here since you had about 100 subs! Congrats on hitting 5k

[@iwantcheckmate]

Hahaha woohoo!! Glad you’re here :D

[@OkDio_Roblox]

W congratulations on 5k subscribers

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you very much

[@Switzerland_489]

Congrats on the win!

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you!

[@RainSingsRock]

You're surprisingly underrated. When I saw your channel, I thought you would've at least had over 100k subs.

[@iwantcheckmate]

I appreciate that! Hopefully we’re on the way :)

[@snow5576]

just found your channel, love the videos already🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you very much :)

[@apieceofcakewithinternetac6842]

i love you iwantcheckmate!

[@iwantcheckmate]

That’s so sweet :(

[@MOEMEN2020]

Best chess channel to be honest

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you!! More to come :D

[@Frey-y5c]

How are you already at 5k love to see you blowing up great job you should be 100m if I chose based on your vids❤❤

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you!! Your support is the best :)

[@nfskull9900]

i don’t even play chess but i love your videos keep it up bro

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you! Will do

[@Jyonderchild]

Great vid again bro

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you

[@Leo64YT]

congrats on reaching 5000 subscribers!!❤🎉

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you!!

[@YGuy588]

I knew something was off in yesterday's video, you recapped the game instead of playing it

[@Noah_eotlr]

This game review is a good reminder that the accuracy grades are based on imaginery games, and not always situationally the best moves imo. Really great game!

[@zivronen9539]

The accuracy assumes that you are an engine that can see dozens of steps deep. Under this assumption it is quite good I guess, but it is probably doesn't meaningful unless you are stockfish. This also causes the reason the review gives to be, in many cases, completely esoteric. It often explains the end of a chain reaction which is basically impossible for a person to foresee, especially when the result is slightly worse positioning... On the other end, it is quite good at stating "this move loses the queen" when I miss a bishop...

[@yiyangdeng9626]

hey man totally love your videos, but can you play more types of openings for us? sometimes it's better to vary a little, THX

[@iwantcheckmate]

Yes! Thanks for the feedback :)

[@amyzappa1436]

I wonder if they will ever make a learning bot version of the basic bots, that would be interesting to mess around with

[@iwantcheckmate]

It would be! I’m sure it’s possible, I hope someone is working on it

[@kingdaximus6423]

Bullying Martin phase over? New era! The Manuel era. 😂

[@kingdaximus6423]

Also you said “king here” when you were talking about the bishop 6:30

[@iwantcheckmate]

Haha we never stop with Martin! And thank you for pointing that out I do that sometimes for some reason

[@stickysz]

woah you’re growing so fast

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you

[@thomas6490]

i love your vidios, thank you

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you! :D

[@ckingpro]

Yup! You are right on Adolf Anderssen being the biggest rival of Paul Morphy. An interesting game to watch and you get your revenge

[@iwantcheckmate]

Hahaha I thought so! And thank you!

[@Kimooooooo01o]

Hi iwantcheckmate im back for another video and i cant wait to watch it :)

[@iwantcheckmate]

Hi! Thanks for being here :)

[@OmegaF.]

Bro wants revenge, he made a full vid out of manuel 😭🤭 Congrats on 5k subs brother🎉🎉🎉

[@iwantcheckmate]

I want checkmate! And thank you very much :)

[@pheonixgaming3505]

The first time i watched you u had 700 around subs

[@Murdog_YT]

3:58 I really iike pawn to E5 in this position

[@ryanlind5239]

Great video as always. CDC's "game review" is honestly so bad. I find it's easier to just use the analysis tab instead of starting the game review

[@iwantcheckmate]

I agree, although I will say it makes for good content 😅

[@tucpacedits]

hey could you make a video where you dont play the london lol. just for a bit more variety in videos

[@iwantcheckmate]

Hahaha yes, I’ll change it up

[@balthazarbeutelwolf9097]

The reason the game review was so harsh was because both you and Manuel played this too slow and had several win-to-loss blunders. The last of those was 21..Bd2. Instead, 21..Qa1 wins for black: 22. Bb1 Nb4 23.gf Na2 24.Kc2 Ba4 etc. This motive of the bishop saying hello on a4 also occured in an earlier position. 19..Qa1 was winning for black: 20.Nb1 [if Bb1 then Nb4] Bg5 21.Kd1 Nd4 22.cd Ba4 and white is toast. As a 1900, I did not see any of that, but the one time I was howling at the screen was when you took on h6 with the pawn rather than the rook. And my Stockfish was howling too - it changed the eval from +5 to -2. Basically, the black king can hide behind the pawn, slowing down your attack to the point that black's is now faster.

[@iwantcheckmate]

This is a super good analysis. I completely agree, I had a small wave of regret after I blitzed out the pawn move. Thank you for this feedback, this is gold :)

[@THAC0MANIC]

just could tell the AI to show moves to see its line of thought. Note im not that highly Skilled I like to call myself a 1500 player but thats my Ego, I see 1500 players I beat them 1 out of like 5 games, Thus to me im a 1500 player dammit! But tech im not sue me anyways But if we discuss STRAIGHTLY the Best moves "aparently" for both sides at the 13:43 Marker? Black Follows with 1) Pawn to G6 2) Qe3 3) Knight B4 4) your Knight to B1 5) Ba4 6) Bxa4 7) Kd3 Check : Note his is forking your King and Rook, with only your Queen to Take the Knight, but the Knight is guarded by a Pawn, Losing a Queen for a Knight to save your Rook seems bad, Note a few varients was explored reguardless he tends to use your pawn on H7 as a Holdout for his King (H8) kinda stoping your attack on said side, Note with some Varients you may be down a Rook but you have both Knights vs just him having 1 of his Bisups Note one of the Varients I explored had you down both Rooks but you still had your Queen while he didnt have his Queen, and you had both Knights vs him just having a Dark / Black Bisup I personaly Kinda like this posistion but it can be tricky to play.

[@Hawks-experiments]

15:11 This would make a w puzzle

[@CaptainDogFood]

He didn't castle during the last game. He moved the king to f8 after you put him in check with the bishop on a4, ruining his ability to castle.

[@iwantcheckmate]

Ah I couldn’t remember

[@iwantcheckmate]

Haha thank you

[@THAC0MANIC]

b4 i start i swear if your white again ... and your white again. Be black, show off your skills as black its harder more challenging and more exciting!

[@kalensallas9239]

No longer bullying Martin? You’re uploading so much so fast dude

[@iwantcheckmate]

Thank you! 😅
