Your way of commentating chess is revolutionary I think, you describe positions so passionately and with such good understanding Levy, just wow, it would be wonderful if you did more videos about best chess games in both from humans(current and historical) and from engines. I wish you good luck in your GM journey too and soon we will call you GM Levy!)

[@HopefulOrange]

but hes too fast, like for me im a beginner and just started like a month ago and idk what hes saying in like the few seconds where he explains i gotta repeat the clip like several times to see what pieces are moving where and why they are moving there.

[@paiadidaisada9133]

​@@HopefulOrange I guess it depends on the video, the videos that analyze low rated games are much slower because the mistakes are more human and the ideas have less intrinsic thoughts behind them, these are so hard if you explain every single move you could stay for days, because every move -not- made is a blunder anywhere from 1 to 30 moves away.

Levy, I love all your retrospectives on the drama, the battle of the chess engine. It is fascinating. Sometimes the idea behind the move is counterintuitive and so obvious once we understand the move. I like all your videos. That is all.

[@smrivals4881]

9:48 bless you

[@flo4998]

Hey, I mean right now they're playing another sick variation of the Caro. But with TCEC stuff, a way to maybe make people understand how engines mess up, show how if say Stockfish wins a pair of games, how did Leela play that let Stockfish equalize? I'd really find that interesting. And Leela has also won a couple of game pairs, would love to see a couple of those featured as well!

[@Naratveerman]

Love this vid! Really interesting and great enthusiasm for the complex chess.

[@sjsangimino]

Hey Levy. I've been watching your video's for quite some time now. Love the content. Keep up the good work. Just wanted to say I absolutely love it when you post these Chess Engine games. It's really fascinating to me so I really enjoy when you post these. Thanks!

[@grimwest1222]

Deeply fascinating - honestly seeing this high level play really brings out those underlying concepts of chess of long set ups and space to the forefront. I don't know a lot about chess but this was incredible to watch. Great review and explanation very well done!

[@xanschneider]

You need to get the TCEC eval for these games. Your eval is all over the place. If Stockfish is +1, it doesn't go to 0 on one move, that would be a blunder for the fish, and the fish doesn't do that. Either it was bullet time format and your computer had a lot more time to evaluate or your computer just doesn't see it.

[@Ashpro5678]

If Magnus or Hikaru were not there levy would for sure only use Stockfish games🤣🤣

[@jampert3656]

I really enjoy these videos! In the first game why couldn't black castle instead of the king move? Not suggesting the engines didn't have a good reason haha but I'm interested

[@flavored_1]

If engines could pick their own moves, what opening would they play? Would it change depending on the depth?

[@lethallohn]

They usually play into the Berlin Defense, but if you have different time controls, settings, or depth you could get some other results. For example, the default for most engines is to focus on one move in the position. However, you can set the Principal Variation (PV) to 2, 3 or any number you like. Meaning you could even have the engine consider all legal moves in a given position the whole time. This would greatly decrease depth, but you'd get more dynamic play and sometimes prevent engines from missing moves.

[@TheCardinalMoose]

Hi Levy, would you consider making a video explaining some of the chess jargon? I'm still a bit unclear about the difference between a mistake, a blunder, and an inaccuracy. I don't fully quite grasp what a Desperado is and there's a few non-English phrases I've heard you use that I'd like to understand better.

[@lethallohn]

The difference between inaccuracy, mistake, and blunder are just words we use to describe how bad the move was. Inaccuracy is level 1, mistake is level 2, and blunder is level 3. Desperado is when a piece sacrifices itself by capturing one of the opponents pieces because it was going to be taken the next move anyway. It usually happens when a piece is trapped, so it takes a piece before it gets captured.

[@shreyjain3197]

At 27:58, it looks like black has a fortress with every pawn and rook defended, but theres a setup in which the white king is on g7, and the queen forces the king to the backrank so that it gets skewered and you can trade the two rooks for the queen and then promote a new queen all to say, its still winning for white, and thats why black chose to give up the pawn on f7 in the next move, because regardless of whether black gave up the pawn or not, it was still losing for black

How do engines lose to other engines? I can’t even comprehend 2800 Elo chess in the candidates tournament. I can’t even comprehend my 700 elo games

[@lethallohn]

The Alekhine's defense is an unsound opening that gives white a clear advantage, but there's no refutation to it. Stockfish 16.1 can defend with it as black barely against other engines, but Stockfish will usually win against other engines with white. Stockfish is just on another level at consistency and accuracy. TL;DR: The preselected openings are usually why engines beat one another.

[@reaper7910]

The opening. If my understanding is correct, the pre programmed openings force the engines into lines that would be imbalanced or asymmetrical which allows for tactics or weaknesses. If the engines are forced to play to their programming's content from the start, they end up being conservative and play lines that maintain the equilibrium
