The STRONGEST FINALS In Chess History! - Stockfish 16 vs Leela C Zero - TCEC Season 25 Superfinal

[@gheffz]

Yes, loved this game!! Incredible incredible, as you say! Yes, you were right about that traditionally "weak" light square Bishop, as you stated "as I said at the beginning... This Bishop is suppose to be the worse piece on the board will become simply the best minor piece on the board." Beside that pivotal Bishop to E4, I personally loved the setup move to protect that bishop with Rook to A6... I felt that was an incredible move among so many incredible moves. First Pause: I did take my time... I did consider Queen take Pawn on H7... I didn't see the smoother checkmate potential. Second Pause: Rook sacrifice to E5. No, it was the dark square Bishop sacrifice to E5.

Crazy that stockfish drew the reverse even tho it was winning at one point

[@さぼせんぱい]

Yup. +7 Eval Bar to a forced draw was just ridiculous.

[@unfixablegop]

The end of the predetermined opening should be mentioned in the commentary.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

A wonderful game ful, of strategical cunning and tactical sparkle. The anti promotion tactic was breathtakingly beautiful. Thanks Josip.

[@brianteskey2425]

I really hope they play at least one pair of matches from move #1. An actual game of chess.

[@itsmeac101]

you do realise they will play the same exact drawn line everytime?

[@brianteskey2425]

@@itsmeac101 you don’t know that these are new versions. I said one match not 50 games.

[@brianteskey2425]

@@itsmeac101 funny you say that 90% of games are drawn with book moves also 🐟

[@Grzegorz54321]

Interestingly, during the analysis Stockfish "thinks" that the move 35.Bb1 is a mistake, only after a few seconds it turns out that it is... the best move.

[@Jozarovschesschannel]

Yes. I noticed it too

[@alexCh-ln2gw]

according to armageddon rules, black is the strongest color if machines play to draw every time.

[@1bz2002]

Lol..@16.39 where are you going man!! Hahha. When that pawn got to the last square I would have probbably resigned. Game 20, phildors defence next pls?

[@Swagtorian]

This kind of reminding the Karpov game where he trapped rook i believe by surrounding it with pieces but in this one of course engine game differentiates the events

I'm Ray Lopez and I approve this video.

[@simonkotchou9644]

wow this is such an amazing game, thank you

[@KawaseEmmanuel-kj4wb]

Can you please make a series on Ruy Lopez opening?

[@tangoda9934]

Hi I love your videos, how do you analyse these top engine games wouldn’t you need the absolute latest engine versions (are they even public?) and a supercomputer?

[@torstencuber9114]

Dear Josip, i analyzed this game with several engines, and to me it seems that 27.- Kh8? was the crucial positional mistake, after which the white attack on the kingside got stronger and stronger. Crystal 5 for example showed a variation which would give black much better chances for a resilient defense: 27.- Ra3!, e.g. 28.Rc2 Qa8! and black could create counterplay, for example 29.Nh4 Ra1 30.Qh5 Rf7 31.Ng6 Re1!, or 29.h4 Ra1 30.Rc1! Rxc1 32.Qxc1 Rf7 32.Nh2 Rd7 33.Qd2 Qa1 34.g4, and White is better, but Black still can fight.

[@Jozarovschesschannel]

Great line. Thanks for your active work on my channel

[@torstencuber9114]

And the decisive tactical blunder was 34.-Ra2??, after this mistake the game is lost for Black (Crystal 5 already evaluates 35.Bb1 with +5 !) Much stronger defense was possible with 34.- Qa2!, and there's no forced win for White, but White still has the better chances, for example 35.Be1! Qa3 36.Bf3 Qc1 37.Nf4!! Qb1 38.Ne6!! (This knight manoeuvring was my idea!) Nxc6 39.dxc6 g6 40.Qh6! Qxf5 41.Bd5 , and White is clearly much better.

[@bongcloud]

beautiful

[@didierdrouet1546]

Magnifique partie. Tres bien commentee les 2 pauses video sont tres bien placees. Je ne suis pas d'accord avec certains l'intro n'est pas rrop longue elle met l'eau a la bouche et on nest pas decu après.. Great strategy great tactics & great finish for the fish !!

[@balazsio]

Stockfish best engine for a decade! And it's open source, mind blowing

[@Gachette00]

And Lc0 the second best engine for 5 years, the only one that have finished 1st of TCEC other than stockfish since 2017 is also open source (and also under a free licence, like stockfish, which means that anyone is allowed to reuse their code in their own creations), this is so cool

[@Gachette00]

Also, there is a third engine that made it to TCEC superfinals other than stockfish and Lc0 since 2018, it was AllieStein in 2019 (at that moment, Lc0 was beating Stockfish and AllieStein in 1v1 but won less points against weaker engines so it didn't qualifiy to superfinals). It has also been the 3rd engine for a long time. And AllieStein was also open source and under a free licence (in fact, it was even reusing a big part of the code of Lc0, and Lc0 devs were happy about this)

[@Swagtorian]

Hi, Yozo, was there a final of engines with lower strenght compared to previous final or every single one happened as strongest final of their time?

[@hustler3of4culture3]

You should make clear when the book ends and the engines begin👍

[@milosstefanovic6603]

Jazarov, what do you think, where would Alpha Zero be in this tournaments?

[@timmy1729]

Good question

[@emjhaybondoc2477]

brutal stockfish so deef.

[@prussianblue14]

[@jaybingham3711]

Glad no gtm on that endgame. As a result, I was able to post a blemish free gtm score. Now the question is...do I really have to tell C.c about my 4000 level of play? 🤭 And should I now start a Road To 5000 channel. 🤪

[@Stockfish1511]

Leela has got new BT3 nets which are stronger than previous ones. It got stronger, but stockfish is still to strong.

[@さぼせんぱい]

Stockfish won by 28 pairs ahead of Leela. And just won 46 pairs against Torch. STOCKFISH IS STILL THE KING!

[@inemanja]

It's interesting that Jozarov have

[@JohnJohnson-fn2we]

Leela is left handed. She asserts dominance in most games on Queen side, while alphazero was right handed winning on King side. Its just the way they are.

[@Stockfish1511]

this is just complete nonsense from chess engine development side of things.

[@JohnJohnson-fn2we]

If you know basic of how ai is programmed you would expect it to be left or right.@@Stockfish1511

[@timmy1729]

😮 interesting

[@andreasflesch6327]

Noope... What is a real move, what ist analyse ? You jump forward, then back. I am confuse. This ist not for me, sorry 🤷‍♂️

[@DeeDee-fi4kq]

No offense Jozarov, but if you want to go from 28k subs to 2.8Msubs which you deserve, then simply axe the 2 minutes of jibber jabber and techno fluff intro in the beginning of every vid! Do you realize pretty much every KZbinr that has subscribed to you (and also appreciates very much your excellent content), just skips ahead 1-2 minutes from the beginning of every one of your vids. KZbin sees this, and this skiping ahead is making your vids look to be incapable of monetizing by ads and you therefore cannot be promoted as useful revenue content for KZbin. Get to the interesting chess content in 15 sec. or less, and keep your viewers watching and riveted (not skipping ahead) all the way to the very end. You deserve 100x the subs and views you have been getting for some time now. FTW

[@asprinama]

agree. Jozarov deserves more he’s the man
