When I am 1300, I typically win more.

[@sparkoceanic]

@@fujiapple9675 How does that work? You win more again better players than weaker players?

[@OSDisco]

@@sparkoceanic it's weird but I think it's true, at least for me. I think it is that players at that lower level have improved gradually in a way that makes every game challenging. But because everyone living down here has gotten better, lots of decent players find it hard to climb up. Not to mention, people start practicing openings and get lots of experience in bullet etc.

[@harmony8278]

[@torrubirubi]

I somehow understand why some people are cheaters. They are basically losers, so cheating make them perhaps feel like not being losers, but they only make things worse. I have more problems with people who defend cheaters. I remember once a video where a GM was explaining why he was convinced that a guy was a cheater, winning against GMs and winning tournaments, Boris something. Basically all strong players knew the guy was cheating. A lot of people (from the same country ) were nevertheless defending him, saying that it is well possible that he was lucky, finding moves that only a strong engine would play. This is so pathetic.

[@bensolo-chess3851]

Man.... The stalemate at the end was hilarious lmao... + i can't believe he missed mate in 1. Even a 400 would've seen it or just randomly check the king and hope for a mate 🤣 lmaooo

how he identifies chess cheaters is how i know the cards aren't random on poker sites

[@413PDS]

I quit playing poker online years ago after I flopped a set against a guy who only had ace high. And he check raised me on the flop, needing runner runner to hit a straight. And he hit running cards to hit Broadway. Sure, I guess that happens. But he literally checked raised and snapped called my all in and it all seemed really strange.

[@bubbleboybenni]

As someone from New Zealand (his opponent is NZ) I'm not angry, just disappointed.

[@spartanthe300ththermopylae4]

Don't be. It doesn't necessarily mean that he realy is from NZ, anyone can choose any flag. And even if he is, that has no bearing on you. Cheating (and not just in chess) has no nationality.

[@ulpiankolaj1587]

I mean you not telling people who you are is the best option. Studies show that when you know you are under a study, you act differently. So people knowing they are playing against you would hurt this whole thing as they would not play like they regularly play. Also people who cheat in chess or any game, I feel like they enjoy more someone else losing than them winning. If they cared about winning they would try to improve. Whatever the guy was so bad he missed like 3 or 4 mates in one once he started playing lol. Thank you for making the series(and available for free while at it) thanks to it I have gone from knowing how to move the pieces to knowing how to move them with purpose.

[@sayantopics77]

Maybe qe8 because a4 would be weak after b4 but the bishop was hitting the pawn only which can only be protected by knight b2 but attacking the pawn twice guarantees the paw after b4 pawn push since, there is no other piece which can protect that pawn.

[@nickjambro7660]

1:20 accidentally the funniest clip ive ever watched

[@bunkenator]

Qe8 was actually the move i looked at and might have played exactly because it was a blitz game. If given more time i probably would have found a move that looked better to me (-: Bc8 and many of the other moves for sure i would never have found though, no matter the time control.

[@adamgorz9679]

It was probably franks is heres and then the last couple of moves he played without the engine.

[@SammyStoneify]

Possibly the funniest stalemate in the history of chess

[@brianbrown9324]

I watched the whole 1st speedrun series, and this whole series as well, multiple times. I thought these games were taken from twitch streams like a day ago. I also thought the majority of them made it to youtube. Now I'm wondering if there's a playlist of the twitch streams where each and every speedrun game was played?

[@ericm1839]

The absurd thing isnt the one move that is beyond comprehension, like maybe the guy came up with the top engine move for an unrelated reason, but to play 3 or 4 in a row just absolutely insane moves is beyond human ability or chance. Ive had a couple moves here or there that, on computer analysis, probably look insane, but it happens like once in a while and never multiple times in the same game. I could see the queen move making sense in a game, but that bishop move and the following pawn push are just beyond comprehension

[@fujiapple9675]

17:05 and now a very complex decision folks. 🤣

qe8 also prepares bxa4 cause when you capture the bishop, you will have a double attack on the knight and bishop and you cant defent both

Why would a cheater not simply vary his response times, and play mostly #2 and #3 engine moves, with a timely #1 now and then? Someone like Naroditsky might still intuit shenanigans (for one thing, a 1400 doesn't outplay him without help), but perhaps this tactic beats the anti-cheat algos?

I’m no engine but a lowly 1600… Maybe I got lucky but I looked at Qe8, I thought it looked natural. It opens the DSB, Gets the Queen off the X-ray, Doubles up on the a-pawn(making it hard to defend after the b4 break), Did not see the potential Queen infiltration on the light squares to f3… but it seems like something a strong player might notice if they spent a little time.

[@xordid]

Yeah the increasing number of cheaters is the reason he stopped his his 5min blitz speedrun to 3000 rating at 2500. Must be super frustrating :(

[@groverclinton1081]

@@joostvanrens It is less educational in the sense that we don't get to see how the typical mistakes that players of a certain rating range make, and how to capitalize on those. A 1400 ranked player would want to know what mistakes s/he or her typical opponents make, not how to play against a super GM (stockfish). That's the whole point of speedruns - explaining gameplay at every level. The cheaters ruin that - if all the players he encounters in this series are cheaters, then it is not a speedrun, but a series on how to play stockfish. Of course, it's not Danya's fault, but that of the bloody cheaters.

It does, it was funny, but I'd rather I got educated than entertained. The way I see it, this was a waste of time and a missed opportunity to learn something. GM Danya is such a good teacher, every moment when he shares his knowledge with us is so precious. I've learnt so much from the Speedrun. A GM's time we can't find for free (and especially of this quality), while entertainment we can find anywhere.

That checkmate attempt was actually embarassing. As soon as he stopped cheating & started playing it was painfully obvious, his real rating was probably mid-range 3 digits

9:40 would bishop a3 work ok there? Edit: Stockfish says yes! Always a good confidence boost to guess good moves.

That stalemate just proves everything. It was getting obvious because of the super committal but perfectlt\y restrictive pawn moves. Played in 3 seconds each…
