FIDE CM Kingscrusher goes over an Outrageous Attacking System vs Sicilian Defence! || Leela vs Houdini || TCEC Season 16
♚ Play turn style chess at bit.ly/chessworld
FIDE CM Kingscrusher goes over amazing games of Chess every day, with a focus recently on chess champions such as Magnus Carlsen or even games of Neural Networks which are opening up new concepts for how chess could be played more effectively.
The Game qualities that kingscrusher looks for are generally amazing games with some awesome or astonishing features to them. Many brilliant games are being played every year in Chess and this channel helps to find and explain them in a clear way. There are classic games, crushing and dynamic games. There are exceptionally elegant games. Or games which are excellent in other respects which make them exciting to check out. There are also flashy, important, impressive games. Sometimes games can also be exceptionally instructive and interesting at the same time.
Info about Leela Zero:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leela_Zero
...
Leela Chess Zero (lc0) is a free, open-source, and neural network-based chess engine and distributed computing project.
Leela Zero's algorithm is based on DeepMind's 2017 paper about AlphaGo Zero.[3][6] Unlike the original Leela, which has a lot of human knowledge and heuristics programmed into it, Leela Zero only knows the basic rules and nothing more.[7]
Leela Zero is trained by a distributed effort, which is coordinated at the Leela Zero website. Members of the community provide computing resources by running the client, which generates self-play games and submits them to the server. The self-play games are used to train newer networks. Generally, over 500 clients have connected to the server to contribute resources.[7] The community has provided high quality code contributions as well.[7]
Leela Zero finished third at the BerryGenomics Cup World AI Go Tournament in Fuzhou, Fujian, China on 28 April 2018.[8]
Info about Alphazero:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaZero
AlphaZero is a computer program developed by the Alphabet-owned AI research company DeepMind, which uses an approach similar to AlphaGo Zero's to master not just Go, but also chess and shogi. On December 5, 2017 the DeepMind team released a preprint introducing AlphaZero, which, within 24 hours, achieved a superhuman level of play in these three games by defeating world-champion programs, Stockfish, elmo, and the 3-day version of AlphaGo Zero, in each case making use of custom tensor processing units (TPUs) that the Google programs were optimized to make use of.[1] AlphaZero was trained solely via "self-play" using 5,000 first-generation TPUs to generate the games and 64 second-generation TPUs to train the neural networks, all in parallel, with no access to opening books or endgame tables. After just four hours of training, DeepMind estimated AlphaZero was playing at a higher Elo rating than Stockfish; after 9 hours of training, the algorithm decisively defeated Stockfish 8 in a time-controlled 100-game tournament (28 wins, 0 losses, and 72 draws).[1][2][3] The trained algorithm played on a single machine with four TPUs.

Relation to AlphaGo Zero
Further information: AlphaGo Zero
AlphaZero (AZ) is a more generalized variant of the AlphaGo Zero (AGZ) algorithm, and is able to play shogi and chess as well as Go. Differences between AZ and AGZ include:[1]
AZ has hard-coded rules for setting search hyperparameters.
The neural network is now updated continually.
Go (unlike Chess) is symmetric under certain reflections and rotations; AlphaGo Zero was programmed to take advantage of these symmetries. AlphaZero is not.
Chess can end in a draw unlike Go; therefore AlphaZero can take into account the possibility of a drawn game.

Incredible. White's most valuable piece was black's e4 pawn.

[@SimonFoxGuitar]

Thanks KC, fascinating as always. Love how you show all the side-variations.

[@robharwood3538]

KC, you might want to review SF's latest game against Stoofvlees at TCEC. Really super-deep endgame foresight. Everyone was like, "Why is its eval so high?" Stoof defended admirably, but succumbed to the fish.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

A truly fantastic blend of hyper aggression and patience. Thanks for an illuminating analysis. Keep up the good work KC

[@kingscrusher]

Cheers, K

Fun comment - Cheers, K

WOO MORE LEELA CONTENT KEEP IT UP!

[@-_Nuke_-]

Engines like to make quiet simple one or two square moves, so I think the lesson is, when you can't just make a big long move, you have to make one of those moves that you move a piece 1 or 2 squares Max :p

[@dmitryyanovsky2426]

WHAT IS THE EXPRESSION USED BY kingscrusher @ 11:55 about "Queen in Siberia" something... Please tell me. I cannot quite hear what is said there. Some slang? Thanx!

[@-_Nuke_-]

Leela danced around that e4 pawn so dramatically until she finally won it, engines love taking central pawns as much as Humans like taking Queens, amazing game!

[@-_Nuke_-]

What would be Leela's best Network right now?

[@phantom7crossrose528]

should have used dragon variation with castle and fianchetto bishop

[@dannygjk]

Sicilian is inferior anyway. Morphy and AlphaZero said so.

[@piyushsharma5938]

Why did the knight go to H1, 😂

Funny game

[@Brandon-a-writer]

when you go so far into unrelated games and down the variation rabbit hole, interesting as it can sometimes be, it really breaks the flow of the game and becomes frustrating. i enjoy your channel and your vids, but i doubt i'm the only one who could do without the 15 move variations that never happen every few minutes. it fragments the game. i'm not trying to be a dick. cheers, really enjoy your work.

[@lamp5055]

So I kind of agree with this but he likes showing “potential moves” that might seem good on the outside and fall apart. It helps to show how accurate the computers need to be

[@Brandon-a-writer]

@@lamp5055 showing a few critical variations for the purpose of interested parties is fine, enjoyable even ... but when you run a variation for 5-6 minutes, especially when someone is watching on a lunchbreak or what have you, it just becomes frustrating. it's a matter of taste, i suppose. but at some point, "get on with it" comes to mind. i like his vids, and i like looking at variations - but come on, there are "potential moves" and then there are "here's 10 moves that never happened" - it moves from interesting to getting in the way of someone trying to enjoy the game being presented. again, i'm not trying to be a dick to anyone. cheers

[@kingscrusher]

Brandon, I put in the variations to highlight in particular why certain moves were not that great. E.g. why b6 instead of b5 was played. Why g6 wasn't played, etc. By getting some examples of why moves were not played, it increases sometimes the appreciation of what essentially becomes the 'main line' which is the way the game went. Part of the reason I made them go deeper is to reach a clearer conclusion because sometimes people are not convinced by an evaluation and have asked for more evidence sometimes. Of course there is a balancing act, and I could perhaps evaluate the position after just a few moves, but the extended variation also points to key resources for both sides sometimes as well. If you just want to play through games you can use a site like chessgames.com. Cheers, K

[@Brandon-a-writer]

@@kingscrusher I understand and I apologize for being overly critical. I just think sometimes it is a bit much, and muddles the enjoyment of the game being presented. As I said, I enjoy your vids; I just don't always have the time to enjoy them. If i am the only one who thinks this way, I am the odd one out and of course you know what is better for your channel than I do. cheers.

"Breaks the flow" it means you have to train your memory to be able keep in mind mainstream.

e6? Come on...the real test is e5!
