[@Alsadius]

I'd love to see you play against Stockfish 15 with various handicaps, to see what it takes for you to beat it. 1) Start with queen odds, and increase the handicap until you win a game. 2) Then do a round where time control is the handicap - fight S15 with one one *milli*second per move, and see how that goes, maybe cut it further from there. (No time limits on your side, of course.) 3) Have a round with no handicap, but where you can switch sides with it once, and try to win from its side of the table. (No throwing pieces pre-switch, and no waiting until forced mate - try honestly, and then switch when you think it has a big enough advantage for you to win.) 4) And of course, for the control group, play against it without any handicaps at all.

[@etholux4668]

If you have a positional advantage against Stockfish 15, the engine will at least draw every game unless there is a forced checkmate, and it doesn't seem like a human could ever pull a forced checkmate situation out of a drawable position that Stockfish wouldn't see coming. If you start giving Stockfish time limits, you are just making it a worse engine, so you might as well play against the earlier versions.

If I am going to be honest with you, in my own humble opinion without being sentimental of course, without offending anyone who thinks differently from my own point of view, but also by looking into this matter in distinctive perspective, I would like to say I have nothing to say.

[@fishdogmax6253]

Well said

I cant believe you actually just fucking said that

Levy: This game was absolutely nuts, so if you had the *patience* to wait 16 minutes for this... Me: *Skips to **16:20*

As someone who has only ever played chess casually with friends and knows basically nothing about Chess theory, it makes me feel good that we have the same favourite opening. :D

[@kalipiana3880]

stockfish also knows nothing about chess theory yet is the best chess player in the world !

[@rbcdelta6561]

"Bwuahahaha!!" Super fascinating episode! The streamers are happy - both Levy's Caro and Rosen's London held up!! Thanks for the great content!

[@johnzhou4877]

I love this type of content. Engines games have some kind of unspeakable aesthetic. Watching these games with Levy's top tier commentary is pure joy. I want more of these 🥰🥰🥰

[@matijabanjan3960]

Was expecting all the games to be drawn honestly, was nice to see a win actually 😁 Would also be cool to see a delayed c5 Caro variation 😁

[@vxughn151]

One thing I like the most about Levys videos is that its not just to spark my interest, the video ends and I’ve learned something

[@Naturalwhite46]

Just wanted to say, just played my first offical league otb match tonight and won and wanted to thank you for all of your content as its been my main learning tool with tactics and openings. Thanks Levy! Keep up the amazing content :)

[@ImOneOfThem23]

Calling Stockfish a GM is insulting to Stockfish lol

[@cuy8541]

Why was I always hoping one of the sides would win over the other

[@timwirshing9923]

I never expected to sit through a 30 min chess video. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.

[@Toshinben]

This reminds me of the game Darklight Conflict for the PS1. In the background, computers are stalemating against computers in an interstellar war.

[@atzuras]

Stockfish: I'm winning Stockfish: not yet, take my rook Stockfish: oh I miss that move.

[@doggyw00f18]

Stockfish is happy to play the nastiest, scariest, sharpest lines and keep track of all it's crazy pieces. I can't even play five aggressive moves without hanging my queen...

[@johngleich1379]

This was really fun! I found some great follow-ups to my absolutely absurd (but apparently stockfish-like?!) moves!

[@memoryfound9208]

Like the hair! The descriptiveness is top notch, and interesting. This is why I enjoy your content; your way of explaining is both intriguing and entertaining!

When you feel like it give us a bunch of moves out the najdorf, I'm keen to see if they fall into similar patterns or if they do crazy defenses every time

[@fahadalmaani3534]

I started to play chess when I was 10 in 2012 and now when I started to take it to the next level your video's really change the way I think when I play, it is rely helpful

12:30 me: "I have a feeling King E2 is good here" 12:33: nice!

[@adityadeshmukh4972]

Me: Stockfish you are playing the Theory Stockfish: I am the THEORY !!

[@logansumner]

This is awesome, I would love to see this with more openings! Perhaps some gambits?

[@mitchellwenzel9608]

Would love to see Stockfish play the budapest gambit sometime! Great video as always Levy!

[@pokaface564]

It would be interesting to see an older stockfish game (like stockfish 8) with analysis by stockfish 15

[@addledanorak8297]

some ideas for gambits you could try: 1. fried liver 2. blackmar-diemar 3. danish 4. king's gambit 5. evan's gambit 6. englund gambit and obviously, THE DOUBLE BONGCLOUD!!!

[@benshums]

YES!

[@Grason20]

My prediction: 1. draw 2.black wins 3. draw 4. Black wins 5. Draw 6. White wins Double bongcloud: draw

[@addledanorak8297]

@@Grason20 I think that white will win in the fried liver....

[@Grason20]

@@addledanorak8297 i see... Different engines got different opinion about the game, and stockfish 14 gives the bar at ~+0.5

This was awesome chess Levy Thanks !! nice glasses. Retro Futurism is always very sophisticated ! Love it !

This chess really speaks for itself. Great game by Hans

Everytime I stop playing for a little bit a video of yours pops up and I feel like I need to pick it back up

[@fabiandargiewiczchess]

Stockfish took "fight your inner demons"too seriously

[@JSLigon]

The Caro Kann is definitely good enough to hold the draw in engine games. Either response to the advance variation is fine. I've spent a lot of time looking at engine analysis of various openings, and you have to get pretty crazy in the opening to reach a lost position. For example, if you play the Portuguese variation of the Scandinavian defense (1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. d4 Bg4) that's close to losing for black, but I think it still holds. The key there is that black needs to avoid 4. f3 Bf5 which is the main line and appears to be outright losing, and play 4... Bd7 instead. Another example I've analyzed with Stockfish: In the King's Gambit Accepted white can hold the draw, either with 3. Nf3 or 3. Bc4 and even 3. Qf3 might be good enough to survive. I'm not saying Stockfish wouldn't lose some games in normal time controls, I'm speaking more from a correspondence (with engine assistance) perspective.

There needs to be an annual GCEC: Gotham Chess Engine Championship.

[@anaseshmela8512]

U really did it !!! I was waiting for this video thx a lot!!!!

[@NightwindArcher]

I love these engine videos. So incredible to see how chess is played at a level FAAARRRR beyond human ability. And as always your commentary is what really makes the video entertaining and enjoyable.
