the developers should make alpha play from losing positions so he can make crazy combacks

[@trikmandularlgaming2026]

Stockfish cant lose a winning position

[@iwfusion2154]

Jerko Majetić That’s not true at all, because alpha sees positions completely different. What may be objectively losing may actually be winning for alpha because it is so much stronger than stock fish, so even though stock fish may think it’s winning like it does in many games, it slowly realizes it’s actually losing because alpha makes moves far above the level of stock fish.

[@trikmandularlgaming2026]

@@iwfusion2154 engines analyse positions and play the best possible move, and while i agree that alpha could come back from maybe a piece or few pawn odds, there is no coming back from a rook or queen odds, stock would force trades and in an endgame with a few pawns advantage, all computing power in the world cant win a losing endgame position to a system that doesnt make mistakes

[@iwfusion2154]

Jerko Majetić You are assuming that stock fish makes no mistakes, which is not true. It’s run itself into zugzwangs, had multiple pieces not able to develop, and many other things that we don’t see as mistakes but actually are. Stock fish plays the best move it can make, but alphas skill is so much higher that moves that may be perfect to stock fish may actually be blunders or even not seeing a win that alpha has been calculating for many moves. So while it won’t technically many any mistakes to a human, alpha may see such moves as mistakes.

[@Jadinandrews]

Yeah but how do we know a position is losing? By analyzing it with an engine? We've seen many examples now where A0 does things no one expected that we would have thought were mistakes, like sacking multiple pawns, moving the queen multiple times in the opening etc. What I would like to see is what would happen if we flipped SF and A0 at maybe move 10 in a few games. Then if SF is able to win in that position, we'd be able to conclude that A0 had an objective advantage early on. If SF is unable still to beat A0, then we'll know that A0 is ludicrously more powerful than SF.

A large theme running through Alpha's games is how it continuously prevents it's opponents from making any meaningful moves. amazing to watch

[@mikeisapro]

Yes, and I've noticed a pattern to many of its games. It tends to make a checkers-like pattern. In a way it's more beautiful to watch these games than to watch the old games of the romantic era. Alpha slowly but surely secures and dominates the board. It really is magnificent to witness.

[@christan6192]

such a simple and learnable concept from A0. 1) stick a fawn (thorn) Pawn. 2) preserve the Bishop of the color of the square of the blockading Pawn. 3) exchange the other pieces to keep the fawn Pawn safe. 4) attack the blockading Pawn with the Bishop to keep the enemy King tied down to the defense. 5) unleash your King on the other side of the board. 6) PROFIT!

[@choknater]

alpha is insane. it just completely debilitates black mid-game in every game it wins

[@choknater]

@Jay Paul yeah for sure. i mean, i'm used to seeing forced late game zugzwangs, but to achieve this level of pressure in the midgame is mind-boggling. black had lots of pieces and no options.

[@ziadkhayat7299]

@Jay Paul That's why I would like to see the last of the A0-A0 training games. What it looks like to me, is that A0 has a fantastic understanding of development and initiative, that stockfish clearly lacks, Which is why every decisive game I've seen thus far involved stockfish getting tied up into knots. I would suspect thats also why A0 fares so much better with white than appears to be usual.

The only thing @agadmator did not mention is at 7:37 if black plays Qxd6. The queen seems undefended, but then white simply checkmates with Bf6, making this not possible. It confused me for a bit why Stockfish did not simply play this, but then I figured that out.

[@niklas3595]

I have an idea about how alpha zero might "think". Maybe this is common for better chess players but I just realized because it is very different from how I view the chess pieces on the board. I found the white pawn on the h file very peculiar. It created a lot of pressure on the black king, because it covers the g7 spot, ready to be exploited by white. I think alpha zero doesn't look at the pieces themselves, but more on the fields they cover with their attacks. I feel that I personally look more at my own pieces and whether they are vulnerable instead. Imagine you'd blend out your pieces and instead only saw which fields they are covering at any given moment, maybe you would see what alpha zero "sees".

[@jimsmith3502]

Niklas... Hello...Very good analysis... I am 60 now, but when I played chess in my twenties, I would look at the board and pieces in the exact same way you describe in your post. The calculations and analysis is intense for humans. However, for a machine (naturally) no emotion enters the calculations and moves!!! I always played fine chess, but, now at an advaced age one's concentration and stamina decreases immensely. Keep watching and, I do hope you ejoy all of the games presented on this channel.

[@siddhantjhaveri]

The thing is when we play chess we cannot just focus on creating something beautiful. Like you mentioned, we have to check which of our pieces is vulnerable and whether we are blundering something. However, sometimes playing beautiful, creative, attacking chess is the way to go. You don't give a thought about weaknesses in the position, king safety, etc while you go straight for the enemy king. One example is Kasparov's legendary game vs Karpov in the world championship. Kasparov later explained that all he needed was 4 pieces in the game to checkmate his opponent's king. He used all his other pieces to break open the position and make his way in. He also played these sacrifices without thinking for long, based more on his "intuition", similar to the way Alpha Zero played. The only advantage AZ has is that it is a computer and it knows all its vulnerabilities along with seeing the plan and it plays without any emotions of fear.

[@brunomarllon7]

We love Alpha Zero's games

[@fullMontyist]

It is interesting to note that A0 indirectly plays the English Opening but avoids the King's English lines. This is because Black has aggressive counter-play in the center with 1. c4 e5. A0 first prevents Black from pushing e5 with Nf3 then returns to the English with 2. c4. By pitting Stockfish 10 against itself, Stockfish 10 evaluates King's English lines as around 0.0 or -0.1 a few moves in. This means that with 1. c4 e5, Black can equalize in the English. A0 deftly sidesteps the issue by playing Nf3 first. If Black plays 1. Nf3 d5, A0 can simply reply with 2. d4. Then the game will often transpose into Queen's Gambit Declined, which A0 also favors.
