“A popular move amongst human grandmasters” That’s... surprisingly disturbing if you think about it.

[@eriklarsen9118]

Put into Stockfish on Lichess right before queen sac, Stockfish recommends Qxb4 with an evaluation of 0.0. Obviously this is not the same stockfish as in the game so perhaps improved or stockfish in the game actually was anticipating the queen sac but not worried about it. Second move by Stockfish today is Qxd4 with essentially same evaluation of -0.1. Next best move is Nf6+ but considered losing with eval of -1.5. Continuing stockfish evaluation: After bishop capture, axb4 recommended as in the game The interesting things happen when the dance of the engines stops using white's pawn push to f4; Stockfish does not recommend this move at all in that position and has the game evaluated at 0.0. AFTER the f4 pawn push Stockfish churns for a while and then decides it is +2.1 so now totally winning for white. That was the move Stockfish did not see coming! After that it is a clear win for white according to the engine.

[@gregorymorse8423]

Dance of the engines is just seeing lots of winning lines if the opponent makes a mistake. But the 3 move repetition limits the mistake offerings. Obviously engine vs. engine makes mistakes extremely unlikely. Finally it procedes down a line slightly less winning. Remember engines dont assume best play by the opponent, they consider all opponent moves. So in certain circumstances this can happen. Someone mentioned it could buy time using these occassions but AFAIK this is not done yet anywhere. It's a narrow special case really where it's possible. Redundant moves are mostly common in some parts of engine vs. engine games because of near perfect play leading to positions where waiting and hoping for a mistake by the opponent is the best idea until it's not because it stops leading to a win but to a draw

(6:24) aaa, yes my favourite part of the song of black and white saga: a dance of the engines.

[@amuzak9063]

at 3:08, the knight on b7 doesn't have to go back to c5, it can also go to d6 right? Which will then fork the two rooks, and the queen can't capture it because the pawn is protecting it? And there is no other piece which can trade off the knight safely... what am I missing here? Since two engines and Agad himself can't have missed something this obvious edit: for those of you who might not be as good at the game such as myself, I went ahead and loaded it on an engine, to see what exactly the computer would play as black to this. It is the brilliant knight captures pawn on e5, and when I captured one of the rooks (it didn't really matter), the computer plays knight captures knight on f3 with check. You either capture back and completely mess up the defense for the king, or you move your king and lose your own rook. And capturing back is horrible enough for the engine to give it a score (idk what you call that bar which gauges which side is winning) of -2.5 or something. Pretty interesting (I am like 800 elo btw, sorry if any higher rated player gets a stroke reading this lol :p)

@@hanszlh6522 yes, but traditionally that's regarded as dynamic advantage, and computers usually struggle with that.

[@Paticula1135]

This demonstrates why I absolutely love the engine matches of Stockfish and Leela. When a human player plays a brilliant move like a queen sacrifice in what seems like a normal position, you can pull out the engine and go "the more precise refutation of this idea was to go X to Y followed by this and that" but when even the engine can't find the idea, what do you do then? You can only stare in sheer disbelief and awe as Leela converts a seemingly terrible move into a stunning victory without either player making a mistake the whole way.

I was just thinking that I love watching Leela bend Stockfish over the kitchen counter and thrust into it repeatedly, metaphorically.

The dance of the engines is easy to understand. It is just one engine putting the other in Zugswang. However, instead of only 2 positions of the 3 repetitions, one engine might be waiting for 3 repetitions of 3 or 4 positions.

You can really see the similarities between leela and alpha zero, both love sacrificing pieces if it means paralysing your opponent movement. And while i am a big fan of A0's play style, i have to give the 'flare' award to leela in this game. A0 loves to sacrifice pawns but leela took it to the next level with a queen sacrifice with no *immediate* return on investment which is something i haven't quite seen A0 do against stockfish (correct me if i'm wrong), Also while i've seen A0 restrict the enemy movement a lot, i've never quite seen stockfish have to repeat so many moves due to the sheer lack of choice. I'd love to see a match between A0 and Leela, i think leela's designed was based off of A0 so could you argue that this would be a match between the Student and the Master? Or maybe even between a father and his daughter xd

The engines have the "feeling" that they have an advantage but they cannot see the winning path yet. In some positions, you need to give up some of your advantage to progress, and the engines don't have any reasons to play it ASAP and they don't want to maximize their advantage, so they don't mind to "shuffle", like "as if" they are waiting for a blunder. Of course, when the 3-fold repetitions or the 50 moves rule kicks in, the engines play something different, and progress can be made. Lc0's dev created a new patch "MLH", but without going into full details, it reduces the "dance of the engines". For SF, this is a lot more difficult to patch, and there isn't any reason to do so (they want the strongest engine, this kind of behavior doesn't reduce SF's strength).

SF engages in "high-level shuffling" as well but it is mitigated by human code that punishes shuffling.

Was really hoping to see the slow motion replay capture at the end

If you are wondering how Leela can castle (since Bxh4) in this line white drops 3 pawns but grabs them back 17 moves later. 10.O-O Bxh4 11.Nxh4 Qxh4 12.Nf3 Qg4 13.cxd5 exd5 14.b4 cxd4 15.Be2 Qe6 16.Re1 Nxe5 17.Nxe5 Qxe5 18.Bb2 Qf6 19.Qd2 Be6 20.Bxd4 Qh4 21.Bb2 Nd7 22.Rac1 Rfc8 23.Rxc8+ Rxc8 24.Bf3 Nf8 25.Bxd5 Bxd5 26.Qxd5 Qd8 27.Qxb7

I gave up my queen for two minor pieces just 30 minutes ago and it led to checkmate! Thanks agadmator!

[@carribeanocean2496]

Why at the end stockfish didn't start pushing his a pawn instead of repeating moves?

Hey man, love your vids and have been watching for a while. I would love to see a Nakhmanson Gambit accepted game, if you can find one.

How do I get better at chess, I have been playing for 2 years, but am rated 1200 blitz. I have done tons of tactics training, and consistently get 18-22 puzzles on puzzle rush, but I don't seem to be improving. I know basic endgames and openings. Is this normal or am I just intellectually disabled

[@NoNAME-qi9tq]

Jesus what a game this was!!! Queen sacrifice for mate in 114 moves force mate 😂😂

[@robologo]

It's cool that they can sacrifice because they know exactly what will happen after. I imagine stockfish's eval bar going from -7 to -3 to -1

[@spryx8507]

Hello, quite new to chess, why doesn’t the knight capture the f pawn en passant at 4:50? Does it have to be captured with another pawn for it to be en passant?

[@yaasdpalala4492]

Yes

does agadmator have a twitch stream?

[@user-ct2hj4dg6z]

What happens if the starting mooves are not predetermined ? Was there ever such an occasion ? #suggestion
