Ah yes, Rf4 by stockfish is a brilliant move according to stockfish

[@theodoremurdock9984]

Not sure if the bar was the same here or not, but in a previous game, they picked the move that caused Leela to realize it was losing as brilliant, since that was presumably the move that Leela hadn’t given enough consideration. That seemed like a really good way to do it. Whether Leela missed it or not, that room move is definitely tricky to find.

[@dazey856]

@@theodoremurdock9984 that would make since if it a brilliant move was determined by a misevaluation by the other engine, it looks at all moves but I guess not at a deep enough depth there to have realized it was losing

[@bohanwithb1546]

its like he wants to shout but remembers its 3 in the night and people r sleeping outside

[@bobing1752]

From 14:50 I was like "Why on Earth didn't it play Rf4??" Then I saw that bringing the other rook, even if it was hanging, protected the pawn on d7, which makes the move Rhd1 an absolutely great move

[@chandugadichannel1568]

Exact thought, what makes the series of moves the best is that the Rhd1 and Rf4. If not Rhd1, Rf4 shouldn't be the best

[@watandabs5314]

Me after seeing the brilliant move one move before the engines: "maybe I am an engine?"

[@bell7388]

*starts speaking in 1s and 0s*

[@phase0400]

Saw the kniht sacrifice which was pretty much it. Although as you know its an engine move you start to work outside the box for the most random moves an engine would take.

It is so fun to see how my favorite chess commentator shows Lc0 getting hunted down by SF

[@jekyllstein]

Really love these recaps. Never seen someone make computer chess recaps this entertaining and understandable. Keep them coming James

[@andrewschultz6608]

As a French Defense player I enjoy seeing these sorts of squeezes. They remind me of the need for activity and not to coast and maneuver too slowly. I also like the foreshadowing of how the pawn might be useful in the attack.

[@warrendsmith6832]

Good lecture, I liked this one. Had everything.

[@arunsathyamurthy8332]

Move 5, ng8 is predetermined by CCC, its not what Lc0 played by itself, it was an opening book move

[@dannygjk]

Between top engines white gets a significant advantage in the French, (if you let the engines choose which line to play). Also the engine must have been forced to play 5...Ng8. After that anti-genius move SF's opinion is a clear advantage for white which not surprisingly led to a win for white.

[@Alphabets1235]

I’m just a trash 1500 but I was thinking about Rf4 from 2 moves ago

[@dickurkel6910]

ok

Stock fish is kinda cracked

[@bryceendecott3050]

Canty carrying the analysis

[@crazypomp927]

After Nxh5 gxh5 Qxh5+ Kg8, I don't understand why white wouldn't continue with Qe8+ Kh7 and Qxe6. I feel like grabbing that 4th pawn is worth it even though you still haven't brought the rooks into the attack, and I don't see any concrete reason as to why this would have been a be idea. Can anyone explain why this would have been bad? Or is it the case that my idea isn't bad but just isn't as good as activating a rook immediately?

[@Joss0051]

Thanks for the commentary

[@thomasaskew1985]

The Winawer Variation is sharper and has even caused Bobby Fischer to lose.

[@wolffang21burgers]

The first few moves are starting book moves giving to the engines. I believe the engines took over after Ng8, (correct me if I'm wrong)

Wrong thumbnail used for stockfish

[@Scriabin_fan]

At 12:12 when he asked what would you do, I actually said knight takes h5. Of course I didn’t calculate all the lines, but I just felt like it was the best move.

Fantastic game. I couldn't have played like that

It's always a genius move. I think stockfish always makes a genius move but this is one little less genius so that we mere mortals can understand.

It's easy to understand once you see it but in an actual game? You're down a piece and you're about to lose a rook most of us would just make a perpetual

Can we get some videos of other engines brilliancies? Seems to always be stockfish beating leela

[@briangallardo3246]

True true but that’s because both sf and lc0 have real fighting spirit

[@ThereAreTwoGenders]

Ok I’m a 1350 player only and I paused the video and found the brilliant move in less than a minute, I’m just super aggressive also tho and that’s a super aggressive move so that can explain

[@iainmckechnie2588]

Visible happiness when you play the video and james canty is on the screen 🙃

[@Ilovemommy389]

Stockfish could just move the R to f4 without moving the other R to d1. Maybe it was trying to tease Leela.

[@Vishvakarma1980]

Insane game nd explanation.

[@nikospitr]

nice game !!

Wow. a4 a5 h4 h5 after just 9 moves... Computers are crazy

[@le_gus001]

12:12 you're welcome

[@mal2ksc]

Is this a tournament with forced openings? Because if so, it doesn't so much demonstrate the brilliance of Stockfish as it demonstrates the hopelessness of the French Defense.

[@FForFurther]

That's so insane

[@vli5797]

If leela went Qc5 instead of c2, is there a clear continuation? thanks in advance if anyone has an engine.

[@kostasmarkou1348]

I swear i found that brilliant move in under 5 secs and i plan the rook sac QE8#. (I am 1300 rating)

[@kelemenaron2]

The index picture is a little bit terrifying 😬

[@DAVIDDAMIENR]

GREAT VIDEO

[@hussaingamer4163]

Why wasnt Queen to C5 not an option when for black when rook went to f4

[@silasgramer6153]

I think its also just prolonging, but even shorter than Qxf2+ because you move the rook in between (Rd6) and if Qxd6 just exd6 and you are in the same position.

Why didn't he just go rf4? Why did he go rhd1, is there a difference I srsly don't see it

Rhd1 is necessary to protect the pawn on d7 .

Take with what? You're missing Qe8+

i don't get it- these mate was a shrot longed, and LC didn't saw it? interesting. also i guess knights much better in closed position. and i prefer stockfish to win also xD

tbh I saw rf4 a couple moves ago, I just wonder why it didnt play it earlier well anyway bcuz queen takes the pon :/

[@JB_inks]

I love how both computer engines are male

[@cinegraphics]

The variations in tempo you use are hard to follow. You spend 20 seconds on one move, and then while still talking about that move, make 2 quick moves in a sequence, unexpectedly, so that move in the middle isn't even visible. I can see movie 1 and move 3, but move 2 gets lost in translation. For example, at 6:25 you're talking about the rook and slow maneuvering game, then at 6:35 you move the knight, while still closing the talk about the rook, and then you move the king. I have to rewind to see that middle move. Your finger is fast on the trigger :)
