Actually engines can look at 100+ depth sometimes.

It’s very true when Levy says you’re not too different from 3600 engines. The only difference in our rating is that they have a 3 in front.
So 3 of me can beat a computer? It all makes sense now.

First thesis just means: humans don't play like computers. You can't calculate the whole tree of variations and computer can. A human plays chess by using conceptions, ideas, strategies when a computer can just calculate deep enough(I'm talking about classical engines). I think Levy refers to this by saying it. Because certain computer moves is hard to explain in terms of ideas and it'd be really stupid to show a 30 moves computer line which justifies that move.
Also a classical engine "knows" smth about chess - it needs it to correctly evaluate position, because in reality the whole tree is simply too big and you still need to cut off branches(almost as a human being).
And it's just a joke. Do you really believe Levy thinks that computers are stupid?
Not letting them to play from starting position is severe hadicapping of their capabilities, therefore making their competition biased and kinda pointless
@@5poolcatrush It is always a Berlin or Kan Sicilian leading to a draw
I mostly use Stockfish to analyze positions. Recently, I added Leela as an additional engine for analysis. I figured that both of these very strong chess engines would mostly agree when calculating the best move and the position evaluation. I was surprised! They frequently disagree on both fronts. In fact, the best move of one engine often doesn't even rank in the top three of the other engine's calculations. I also noticed that Stockfish evaluations are usually more extreme than Leela's. For instance, even when they agree on the best move, Stockfish might say that white has a +1.50 advantage whereas Leela might evaluate white's advantage at +0.40. Also, Stockfish seems to evaluate much deeper and faster than Leela. Stockfish gets to a depth of 25 within seconds where it might take Leela 10 minutes to get to that depth - at least, on my computer. Finally, I noticed that in complex positions, Stockfish will often find some esoteric (non-human) move that only works in a "computer line" whereas Leela usually finds a strong, human-like move that makes the position easier to play.
Depths on the two engines don't mean the same. It's only really useful when comparing it to the engine itself.
Stockfish 14 is a much stronger engine than Leela. So, there is nothing surprising about the fact that they disagree very frequently on the best move and position evaluation. The gap between Leela and Stockfish is actually bigger than the gap between the evaluation of a GM and a Super GM of a position and the best move.
@@angelmendez-rivera351 Stockfish 14 was built with the help of Leela's engineers. They frequently trade methods and expertise, esp back when Leela was stronger. Leela's strength will likely soon change again.
@@zeronothinghere9334 How tho? Depth means how many moves deep you calculate into the future, so wouldn't that mean that, as stated above, (concurrent) move evaluation is just different between engines rather than depth being different?
@@RuneKillerz109 No, depth should refer to what layer in the neural network you are on. You used to be able to see at low depth (8) that they make silly moves that don't even fit the next 8 moves. Because every neural network is different, different depths can mean different complexicity.
Trying to explain what one layer means: One layer has basically a bunch of numbers, that it multiplies the previous bunch of numbers by. The result can then be added together to compute an output, or, apparently in this very specific case, you can multiply it with another layer.
I thought that Stockfish was not using a Neural Network though, so I'm slightly confused at the current status.
"Leave it to two intermediates and they'll find ways to lose it somehow."
I've never felt more attacked in my life
I thought it was hilarious. But I see your point.
I haven't seen commentaries on how both LC0 and Stockfish teams help each other out.
The most notable example is that when stockfish was on version 12, LC0 had an edge on strength because of the revolutionary neural network it was using.
For Stockfish 13, the LC0 helped the Stockfish team to port/create a neural network position evaluator for the core of Stockfish (the famous NNUE).
That's when Stockfish regained the lead on strength.
This only shows the value of these developers and teams. They really want to create the most powerful chess engine, even if that includes porting some of the newer technology developed for one engine into the other.
NNUE comes from shogi engines not from Leela's team. Different concept.
@@chopin4525 It's still neural net tech.
I kind of envy the fact that you're good enough at this game to understand how great these engines play and how far beyond human play these moves are. I wish I had the ability to study and understand lines like these deeply enough to be as surprised as you are. This is art that only other artists can understand.

The point you make about engines being unable to ruin the game of Chess regardless of how good they are is pretty apt. If anything it makes it more interesting to see how high the skill ceiling goes, and learn about positions humans would just never consider. After all, it's not like you can memorize these lines - you can't even write them down, because there is _literally not enough space in the Universe to store the solution to Chess._ Truly, a beautiful game.
the keyword trick is "store" there
Actually, the universe is pretty big so on a literal note yes you could store all possible variations for every move ever on every turn but it would probably be so big that'd it would create a super massive black hole based on the mass of the ink used to write it alone
@@ggaming8999 You know you can use more than one sheet of paper to write, right?
@@ggaming8999 The argument is more that there are more possible states in chess than atoms in the universe. However, this argument breaks apart for this case, since we don't need to let one atom correspond to one chess position. We can arrange the atoms in a specific way, and have one atom existing stand for 1, and an atom not existing for 0. Suddenly, we can store a lot of information. That way we could probably store all moves (I didn't math it out, but current compression algorithms are pretty good).
a 1 terabyte microSD card stores 8 times 10 to the 12th power bits of information. You would need roughly 10 to the power of 108 micro SD cards to store all possible chess games, even when assuming each game takes 1 bit of information to store.@@zeronothinghere9334
In Game 2, went through it in the Lichess Openings, and through Move 12, there's a Lichess game that was played in 2020 between a couple of 2380s. They diverge at move 13 with 13. Re1 instead of 13. b4. The game was a win for Black.
Hey Levy, I think you've made a video like this before, but it would be interesting to see how the top players are learning from the engines and incorporating some of these concepts into their own games. Would be cool to see an engine game followed by a real game that illustrates an obscure winning idea.
h4 and h5!
He already made that
It is already illustrated from the magnus endgames video which he won most of the with a flank advanced pawn. h4 and h5!!!!!
Alpha Zero video and how magnus carlsen learned from alpha zero video. Those 2 videos just do that.
If you're interested in this kind of thing, there's a good book about the influence on AlphaZero on chess called 'Game Changer' by GM Matthew Saddler and WGM Natasha Regan. Saddler frequently analyses TCEC matches as well, and has a book coming out soon on using engines to improve your play which will be called 'The Silicon Road'.

This are my favorite games. The Alpha Zero revelation back in 2018 was what brought me back to chess after decades. This games are mind blowing.
Almost all modern engine games are mind-blowing. Leela Chess Zero and Stockfish are leading the pack, but other engines are keeping up enough to create their own masterpieces or last long enough to bring the games to interesting results.
Check out Jozarov's Chess Channel if you want to see some more engine games uploaded frequently.
It's cool, that they are playing till mate. Often in computer tournaments they resign at +-5 or so. Engines play such nice endgames, so it's nice to see everything.
They had positional long term advantage
I love that you did this- it's rare to see a chess TH-camr this charismatic or a chess player this skilled cover the TCEC. Having both is a bonus.

TCEC is awesome! I'm very glad you are covering them, please hype up the next SuFi - Superfinal, which will be played between the top 2 engines in the premier league, which is usually SF and Leela.
With Stockfishs positional evaluation now also being NN based, it's been clawing back against Leela. It's search algorithm is still much better tactically than Leela's Monte Carlo approach. I suspect Leela still is positionally superior. But in an unbalanced position Leela can be let down by its incomplete search tree.
It's interesting that a hybrid of NN engines and traditional engines turns out to be far better than either approach on its own. Reminds me of how "centaur" players (humans using engines) are still significantly better than engines alone.

The whole video I was thinking “wait, was every game just 1 - 0 or 1/2 - 1/2?” Glad you called out that yes, there was a game that black won, but it was only one game.
The TCEC openings are heavily biased toward white. They do this intentionally. They try to find openings where white can win but black can also defend. There's no point doing this for both colors. For Leela to lose with white at TCEC, it has to be a whacked out opening that her training wasn't suited for.
There were some other openings good for Black, including some strange KGA (as it always happens in TCEC), it seemed maybe one engine could do it but they couldn't win.
@@alienrenders There are also a couple biased towards black, but given the inherent advantage for white it is very difficult for black to convert. It took Stockfish 14 to convert even one of them, and that was really remarkable.
The marvel of how engines use pieces is so far removed from how humans think to move them, that chess will be good enough to entertain mere mortals for a long while yet. Super GMs don't play the King's Gambit at the World Championship Match, but to us, that opening can ruin you both as white and as black. Computers toss out the French (I knew it!) but given enough skill at the non professional level, the French is still playable. AlphaZero destroyed Lee Sedol at Go that is a much harder AI problem than chess... still Go is unfathomable to the majority of the population. Let's not be sad that computers are "solving" our favourite games - let's celebrate that they are showing us wonderful new possibilities in new ways to play and enjoy them. Chess can't be boring if played like this. Love the video.
the most exciting thing about the complexity of this game is that, computers constantly prove themselves wrong and we are watching them learn (although like you said we have no idea about what we even have no idea about).
so what you said about computers tossing out the french: we have no idea if computers at 4000+ elo will later on PLAY EXCLUSIVELY THE FRENCH because of how good it actually is. and then we can see a reversing trend at 4500+ elo. we literally have no frickin clue. it is so incredibly mind boggling and exciting.

Nice to check in on the engine world. I used to donate computer time for Leela with the goal of understanding Neural Nets, and came away with the commandment "learn linear algebra, young man."
Leela had two big weaknesses that cost it wins against Stockfish when Stockfish was hand tuned, and now make it lose more now that Stockfish is also an NN:
Leela is self-trained, and the more recent games leave the biggest impression, and Leela's search is highly selective - most positions it doesn't bother exploring. So that makes it sort of a specialist instead of the general approach that Stockfish has. A few seasons back when the two were roughly equal, Joroem, who does the opening books for the SuFi, got tired of 90% draws, and was running low on "positions that are theoretically drawn but still have enough play in them for a decisive result", so he threw in a lot of dubious lines, because why not? Let's watch them defend lost positions, or see if they can bring home an attack just because best play says it's possible. The problem was the two engines did not react the same way.
Stockfish: This is just another position. Let's do this.
Leela: WTF? I never have, nor would I ever, EVER put myself in any position that even slightly resembled this. Is this Shogi?
Result, huge win margin by Stockfish, which again, in other contexts was basically equal in strength to Leela.
The second weakness is much easier to explain - Leela's net is HUGE, and yes, it usually does understand the position in front of it better than Stockfish does. BUT.... Stockfish' NN understands positions quite well enough, and since it's not self trained but trained from positions from any source you like, it retains its universal accuracy. And it's still blindingly fast. So it seems like an a/b minmax search with a NNUE net is the optimal setup at the moment. I don't see Leela catching Stockfish with its current architecture. But I like watching them face off.
What I like about MCTS as opposed to Alpha-Beta minimax is that MCTS heads for positions with the highest number of descendant wins.. So it knows that there are draws and then there are draws - like Magnus Carlsen grinding away at a theoretically drawn endgame where he's the only one who can possibly win because his opponent needs to defend perfectly. MCTS can make that distinction. Otoh Minimax just asks "what is the ultimate evaluation here?" and so all draws are equal. Of course in an engine match the difference doesn't really matter, since you're going to get perfect defense virtually every time, but there have been swindles here and there that resulted from Leela searching out the most aggressive drawn position possible while Stockfish was ambivalent so long as it was 0.00.
The downside of MCTS, even when Leela was at the top of the engine world, is that its search is based on moves that *it* would make. When instead it gets a bad move, it often doesn't see the refutation, because nothing like that really occurred in its training games. In tournaments when facing much weaker engines, Leela misses wins, resulting in the nickname "Drawla". Stockfish pounces on errors, so it doesn't have the same problem.
btw, they're both equally NN -- there's nothing "hybrid" about Stockfish. Its evaluation used to be hand tuned, now it's a trained neural net. The searches they use don't enter into it. You could theoretically get an NN to train its own search algorithm - and its own time management for that matter, but nobody has done that yet: mostly because it would either take too long or because it's hard to give the net a target to train it towards. So...
Stockfish: Neural Net evaluation, hand written search function, hand written time management.
Leela: Neural Net evaluation, hand written search function, hand written time management.
tl;dr: I used to help train Leela, here's some thoughts.
I watch these videos and then I think I’m capable of playing chess which is dangerous.
I repeat Levy’s phrases in my head: “I’m gluing the position shut”, “I lose a pawn by white has no activity”, “Black is getting suffocated here”. And they’re usually followed by another phrase:
“Wait. Fuck.”

These matches feel like two people with sharingans playing chess
Itachi vs Sasuke again lol?
More of engine fight content please, awesome fights
gotham im happy you commentate on these games i never understand these but then i see the idea when you point it out
I love your coverage of engine matches!
Final Score :
Stockfish 19 wins - Leela 7 wins
He literally says this in the video mate
@@human7491 If no book then all games will be drawn, especially with TCEC computers
@@human7491 It would be more repetitive with no opening books, especially with Leela, since she uses PUCT and it makes her moves more deterministic
@@human7491 you wouldn't see interesting draws. All you will see is sf drawing as white in Rxe5 berlin and leela drawing as white in catalan without any engine eval ever crossing 0.3 line and most of the games sharing first 15+ moves.
@@human7491 That's Viz, an SF Dev. He knows what he's talking
Really like the breakdown and explanation of the engines games. If id be just watching them Id have no clue whats happening and be bored. Thanks man!
Leela is watching the video and taking notes
I absolutely love you man amazing energy and enthusiasm, you put a bunch of time in these videos . Favorite chess channel
The Stockfish vs AlphaZero video was actually the first GothamChess video i've ever watched!
Good choice
@@ladan7740 i know, been a subscriber ever since.
@@ladan7740 nah it was old
Not really a good video to watch. Those are 2017 matches.
@@-zelda- even before 2017
every video featuring engines you should also add a disclaimer :”don’t do this at home !”
as human we have a great talent to transform brillant moves into catastrophic blunders
Please do more of these
Please do more covers of tsec!! This was so great
Levy : Shut up computer! You don't know anything about chess.
Also Levy , when engine makes any move : Genius ! A human could never have thought of that move.
The number one thing I've learned from watching the highest rated chess engines face off against each other in these insane matches:
BM actually stands for Best Move
I swear yesterday I was thinking about this match and really wanted Levy to record a video like this😂😂
MOAR of this type of content please!
Could you tie in a video like this with your GM quest videos, please? Would love to see how you use engines to analyze your past and future games.
14:50 Stockfish also won with white which shows the oppening is trash
These videos are so entertaining, thank you Levy
Your game narration is epic. I am seriously amazed.
22:25 you can win this position against stock fish.
Me: you’ve underestimated me for the last time
Hey Levy, I had an idea for a video. How about attempting to predict a full game from the upcoming world championship. It would give an insight into how the players (and their seconds) go about preparing for the other player, now with you preparing for both players! You could synthesize the game with an engine, using your knowledge of their styles and their general openings. Of course, the greatest thing would be if they actually play a very similar game and you become a prophet :)
With players like Nepo and Magnus with completely different styles, who havent played a lot of classical games against each other the result is virtually unpredictable. If theres no intel to analyse the prediction is gonna be inevitably biased therefore bad. Also, Levy doesnt know a lot about their prep since they both are preparing some novelties. So the idea is simply bad.
Wow this is a fantastic idea I just want to see this
@@nikita5917 Too bad that you feel like this, but I think Levy can definitely give this an interesting spin and make it educational at the same time!
@@nikita5917 Its a good idea for a video non-the-less.
Great idea
I love how these engines do something that makes sense in every tactical thing. You sacrifice a pawn or something to gain a better position. Amazing 🤩. Next level stuff
Wonderful commentary! Loved it! Didn't know computer chess could be so exciting.
You know, I actually want to see just how powerful these engines are in correspondence/daily chess, running on computers 24/7. If they are this ludicrously powerful in classical, imagine their skills in correspondence.
The guy who makes these thumbnails needs a raise!
7:54
"Oh engines love this stuff"
Really? I love that stuff too. As a 800 rated noob, as soon as I realized that the bishop and pawn could protect each other practically forever in a heavy piece endgame, it was like a glorious moment for me and now I play it in every game
more of this pls thx
Give whoever is making your thumbnails a raise.
I wish levy said "Hey computer! you don't know anything about chess"
This is my favorite type of chess content. Thanks for the awesome videos
