Ive been thinking about making a new comparison bar that takes into account how many moves are playable in each position. If you only have one move that wins, your score should be lower than if you have loads of moves that win. That way, finding your way out of a tough position will be more rewarded. The evaluation bar as it is now is basically made for robots.

How do you account for how "obvious" the move is though? Most of the time your opponent captures a queen that's protected by other pieces, recapturing is the only viable move, but it's a move that any 500 ELO is going to make.

[@bot6349]

The thing about Magnus in these types of games is that he has the knack and composure to play "simple" chess. When Levy went through the whole game in quick succession towards the end of the video, I felt like any half-decent 2000 FIDE-rated player could've played a game like that but in reality, only Magnus can play "simple" chess for 50, 60, even 70+ moves and remain composed. When you think about the game, there is no traditional "brilliancy", just improvement of the pieces, attention to pawn structure, piece activity, good fundamental moves like the rook to the 2nd rank and an active king, infiltrations, etc. He's just applying the basics, even the pawn sacrifice to double Vishy's pawn and f-pawn push at 8:00 in hindsight looks super simple and logical, but how many people would actually do it? Not to mention the completely logical, reasonable, and obvious (in hindsight of course) retreat from the centre with the bishop when offered back the pawn (which was super cold). The one amazing thing for me in this game is his confidence and calmness to sacrifice material for the "simple" chess. Who else is confident and cold-blooded enough to chuck 3 or 4 pawns away against Vishy and realize "Yeah, I'm boxing in his king and his pieces can do nothing", "Yeah I'm sacrificing a pawn but I have the bishop pair, open lines, and his pawn structure looks ugly as hell"... Magnus has such a grasp on the fundamentals of chess that as long as the position isn't completely lost, he will "just" play sound moves and slowly out last you (like in this game). Pair that with the ability to play superhuman normal brilliant games as well... One of a kind.

[@TravelingMooseMedia]

I feel like 9:11 is obviously better. Black has double iso pawns, bad bishop, mixed minor pieces with a restricted knight, no rook activity yet. Magnus has bishop pair, good bishops, good opposite bishop, open file rook, and his only weakness is 3 iso pawns. I'd have said .5 to .7. Since if the rooks are traded its just better with bishop pair and all those restrictions mentioned with opposite side pawns, AND if the rooks aren't traded but it's R + B vs R + N and pawns are spread its winning. I don't see how anyone could mistake this positional evaluation. EDIT: I didn't watch anything passed 9:11 when typing this and now see you explained the same thing I did
