Have ro admit, these Stockfish endgames are insane. You'd think humans would get jelly, but it's a true delight seeing these meta ideas Stockfish comes up with that make you think "Yes, and that is why he deserves to be 4,000." Stockfish -- when chess no longer speaks for itself.

[@jout738]

Yes humans follow typical principles, like castling early, protect the king, do not give pawns for free and develop knights and bishop before queen and rock, but Stockfish see’s his own crazy ideas and so is like I will not follow thoese principles.

[@gladosadoree]

@@jout738 Humans cannot calculate as far ahead. That seems obvious, but it means a typical Grandmaster will be more prudent. Humans calculate a bit, in their mind see that pawn being pushed all the way to f7, and think "Hmm, that could be dangerous. Best not give my opponent that much counter-play." Stockfish, however, isn't bothered by such notions. Stockfish doesn't guess, he simply knows he's not in any real danger. There's also the meta level Levy mentions, where it seems Stockfish is literally baiting his opponent (Kf7), so he will play Rf3, eventually. I'm not sure this baiting is a real thing or nor, but if it is -- and that is quite possible -- we're looking at an entire different level of understanding of chess here (actually one that is quite more human). Stockfish appears to understand what his opponent 'thinks' will be a dangerous attack, but one he has already refuted, in his own 'head' (in fact, one he uses as a bait tatic to win the game). Fascinating stuff, really.

[@icycloud6823]

@@gladosadoree I'd guess that if the opponent didn't take the bait and attacked on the other side of the board, then stockfish's king on F7 would be good as well. So doomed if you take the bait, doomed if you don't.

​@@icycloud6823 I'm a pretty low-level player. I have a solid 2200 ELO, still way, way below Levy, and astrometrically far away from Stockfish. I would have played Kd7 too, and not have thought much of it either. And still don't get the whole Kf7 idea, I must admit. Maybe it's like a Magnus thing, where he kinda does nothing for a while, waiting for his opponent to take a wrong turn? At my level, losing tempi tends to be deadly. At Stockfish level -- and to a degree where Magnus lives -- the rules of the game apear to change, kinda like how standard physics changes at quantum level.😄In those upper echelons, all these puny rules I'm bound by, no longer apply. Stockfish can simply afford to toy with his opponent, and it doesn't matter, because he's better anyway.

Fat Fritz in SF means that Stockfish in this game basically played against a previous version of Stockfish. You may have noticed the lawsuit of Stockfish v Chessbase, which is exactly about that. Chessbase just blatantly used Stockfish in their Fat Fritz engine as the overwhelmingly major part of that engine. Conclusion of the lawsuit was that Chessbase has to say that Fat Fritz 2 is based on Stockfish everywhere Fat Fritz is mentioned

Sometimes even if the hunter succeded in capturing a chess engine they have a defence mechanism called 'danger levels', sometimes it helps the engine to gain advantage and escape. When two engines encouter eachother in a fight they prefer loosing almost all of their limbs instead of completely dying.

There is going to be a new era of piece mobility

who needs magnus when you have stockfish

[@nyanbrox5418]

stockfish has been studying Levi's e4 course on Chessly, that's how it's improving so much

Amazing, only Hans Moke Niemann can play this well

[@n0xure]

In the last game; when it made that king walk it wasn't because it tried to "bait" the opponent into committing their rook; computers don't think like that. It genuinely evaluated every possible continuation and concluded that making a few pointless king moves was the best. Engines seemingly create traps out of nowhere; but what actually happens is that it creates those patterns by accident and we human players try to make sense of it by projecting our way of playing chess on the engine - doing so we both tend to underestimate the raw calculating power of an engine while simultaneously overestimating its strategic ability.

With an elo of probably 0 (I don't even really know what elo means), watching this is like Shakespear. I don't necessarily understand everything that's happening, but I get it enough, and it's beautiful enough that you can just let it wash over you

[@Brent-jj6qi]

It’s a measure of skill based on your match history, the higher your elo, the better you are, and you gain and lose more or less elo depending on your opponents elo. If you’re 1000 elo and win against someone 500, you get fuck all. If you’re 500 and win against a 1000, you get a fuck ton

at least he had balls of bird at the start

Entertaining analysis! It's great to see these engine games broken down.

23:28 The rook is sacrificed again!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@shotx333]

Love stockfish content, please do it once a week.

[@21SamG]

I can confirm I can not checkmate with knight and bishop

[@LMangia]

this was one of my favorites videos you've posted on this channel

"This computer is a machine" Very nice insight Mr. Levy Sherlock Rozman

[@ceheyfr1456]

I love the fact that stockfish is litteraly the nostradamus of chess

[@Anonymous-bo4he]

at 23:22 the reason why stockfish didnt take the rook with knight is not because he had sense of 'humour' lmao. it is because stockfish doesnt want to allow white knight go e5 then c4 to avoid mate (hence require less sacrifice for white which just lose one rook). Stockfish calculated it perfectly so it would take white to sacrifice maximum amount of materials to avoid mate (lose both rooks). The main idea of dragon komodo was to kick black knight from c6
