Stockfish 16 Destroys the Ragozin Defense with a SHARP Theoretical Novelty!

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

That was incredible, so very unusual plans. Thanks Josip.

10:39 On my computer Stockfish 16 evaluates 26. BxN as 0.00 depth 45 so Stockfish is actually calling it a draw. Black Marlin doesn't show as losing until about move 36 where the score is -3.00. ( on the Stockfish evaluation)

_A beautiful beautiful checkmate by Stockfish 16!_ Loved your deep analysis, Josip. As you say often, what can we say? Love the novel Pawn H4 move, and also the Queen retreating move as well. I particularly liked the Bishop B6 move too, as you say perhaps the winning move? This game demonstrates why we love engine games and when the best of the best is playing it "makes" intriguing play theory to be amazed by.

h4 was a very interesting choice.... also, I was surprised with Qd1 and B x b6... Very nice and it is a brutal strategy to weaken black's king side.... Thank you and amazing explanation.

At 10:40 Why Fish did not play g5 I instead of capturing Knight?(Bxb6)

[@kingStribor]

maybe to restrict future activity of black's light square bishop

[@blijebij]

Brilliant! :)

[@Grzegorz54321]

I don't think any player in the world would get rid of the bishop on move 26.

[@asprinama]

any other engine…

[@Swagtorian]

I would tbh cuz if I do not my king gets weak and also I hate knights so

[@realmheart3751]

​@@SwagtorianThen you're probably below 1000? I think the only people that will take the knight are players below 1000 and players above 3000

Can human beings play like this? What happens to the chess intuition we have built up based on good chess principles?
