      dude amazing video. not to poke holes in your videotoo much but i am not sure 16:08 is a disambiguation. only one bishop could achieve checkmate there, so Bg2# would be sufficient information. perhaps the notation on the sites showed differently in your data, but i would argue that is an error on their part if so. what's interesting then is whether a doubly-disambiguated bishop NO-capture checkmate is possible to occur. it would seem that you could not have a discovered mate for that to be possible, since you would need some other bishop that could achieve the checkmate if moved. maybe there is a square formation or all directly next to each other or some other creative configuration. if so then i would argue THAT would be the "rarest" move in chess, even if it has never happened it would prove less likely to be able to happen imo than the other options. maybe i am wrong though, again great vid and well thought out!

      You'd be surprised how well it would work. Depends on how the rhubarb is prepared though. Raw just thrown on wouldn't be cooked and bitter. But a sweet, habenero pickled rhubarb would be delicious on a pizza. You get the 3 s's. Sweet, salty spicey. The sweet will overpower the bitter, the spice balances the sweet, and the salt makes it more savory and flavorful of course. It's not a bad idea. The rhubarb preparation is the biggest factor. But I would think it would need to be a bit spicy to be done right

      According to Lichess at least, it’s disambiguated move. It doesn’t matter which one of the 3 moves leads to checkmate, it’s about notating a move. If you notate a move as Bg2#, you gotta choose the correct bishop according to a situation instead of brainlessly moving a piece that’s given in the notation

    • @B16Dominoes
      @B16Dominoes หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Checkmate happens after the fact. The point is that any of the bishops could move to g2, which doubly disambiguates it. You are correct that bg2# would be enough information, but I think that because the # sign is at the end of the notation, it needs to be specified by the computer which bishop first, before the checkmate.

    • @shadowyzephyr

      You can't have a doubly disambiguated promotion unfortunately, as pawns can only promote from the 7th rank. In fact, pawns can never get a rank disambiguation, since 2 pawns that are on the same file and different ranks can never move to the same square, so they cannot be ambiguous.

  • @AI-xi4jk

    I was expecting the original video to mention double checkmates. Even though there is no notation AFAIK to say that both pieces give a check and a checkmate it still makes it more unique than a single checkmate. Combining this with double disambiguation move would make it even rarer?! @GMHikaru you have a new challenge! Also we should petition for double checkmate notation because it’s cool and rare.

      @@jamieevans5979 haha I didn’t really think it through 🤭. The best I have is a pawn taking something and promoting to a queen at the same time discovering a double mate. Although there can be 3 queens going to pawn promotion square we don’t have to disambiguate the pawn move. I think I’ve convinced myself that it’s not exactly possible if we stick to this notation. The problem is with notation. It’s meant to disambiguate moves. If we see from the engine evaluation point of view of how many squares are attacked, etc then the answer might be different but that makes the question different as well: what’s the rarest position rather than rarest notation. I guess I digress.

      It likely has to do with how the code works. It likely determines whether it is check/checkmate after checking all of the regular notation, and just appends a “+” or “#” character to the end of the string.

    If you have 64 squares, 2 capture states (capture or not), 3 check states (none, check mate), 4 pieces (QRBN) and 20 origin squares (an over-estimate for all but queens) you get 30,720 moves

      28 promotion squares/origin files with capture (axb1=Q,cxb1=Q, bxa8=Q, etc) * 4 promotion options * 3 checking states = 336
      8 files to advance per rank * 6 non-promoting ranks (2 through 7) * 3 checking states = 144
      14 captures per rank * 6 non-promoting ranks * 3 checking states = 252
      Total: 924
      Castling: 2 directions + 3 checking states = 6
      Piece moves (without disambiguation): 64 squares * 5 pieces (KQRBN) * 2 capture states * 3 checking states = 1,920
      Total without disambiguation: 2850
      I'm not going to do the exact math for disambiguation (I did it elsewhere and got a total around 36,000 but I think I was missing some moves) but this number plus my double disambiguation estimate above should give you a rough guideline
      Disambiguation is very complex to calculate precisely because some moves (eg a knight into the corner) never require double disambiguation and some moves (eg a bishop into the corner) never require disambiguation at all. Some destination squares can have more or fewer origin squares (eg a bishop into the center has more origin squares to possibly disambiguate than a bishop to the side of the board).

      Going the other way, we can ignore captures and checks because the game state tells us whether something was a capture or a check
      If we ignore disambiguation of pieces (but not pawns) as a notation requirement and not a real difference in the move, we can calculate the smallest set of moves that could be said to be complete:
      Pawns:
      16 promotion squares without capture * 4 promotion options = 64
      28 promotions with capture * 4 promotion options = 112
      8 files * 6 non-promoting ranks to advance = 48
      14 captures per rank * 6 non-promoting ranks = 84
      Castling: 2
      Piece moves: 64 squares * 5 pieces (KQRBN) = 320
      Total: 630
      If we ignore the pawn origin for the same reasons as ignoring the piece origin, we effectively shave off all the pawn captures and get a total of 434

    Important note: these moves are only rare due to the arbitrary way in which ppl record chess moves. If they had decided to write Nd4f6 no matter how many knights were on the board, this video would never have been made. Honestly, if the ppl had simply been logical, the notation would look like this: d4d5 (this would simply mean that whatever was on d4 is now on d5 whether that thing was a rook or pawn or queen - this is a much better means of notation as it doesn't require you to make certain that no other piece could move to that location). There would be no need to disambiguate b/c nothing would be ambiguous. There's no need for any checks or mates to have special annotations either, no matter how the moves are recorded. In that more logical world, this video would have been something else - maybe an attempt at a checkmate using 9 queens.
    I don't believe that Hikaru doesn't know this, but for lots of ppl in here: It isn't the knights/bishops themselves that are "disambiguated." The fact that the notation, "Nf6" would NOT tell you which knight you moved to f6 if there were multiple knights that could move to f6 makes the notation "Nf6" inherently ambiguous. So, if instead of writing "Nf6" you wrote "Nd4f6," it would no longer be ambiguous as to which knight you moved. Therefore, the notation "Nd4f6" disambiguates. Doubly so, as the notation implies that there's at least 1 other knight on the f file and at least 1 other knight on the 4th rank.

    In the rare move 4 i think he is mistaken because not every knight move keads to checkmate. So Ndxe6# or Nfxe6# are checkmates so no need for Nd4

  • @waldoman7
    @waldoman7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The existence of the 3 knights opening guarantees the knight one is not rarest. In fact that one has probably happened, more than once, while the triple disambiguated bishop revealed checkmate probably has not happened once outside of people goofing off and chess puzzles.

    A double disambiguation rook capture checkmate is also possible, and must be rare.
    How often do you under promote to a rook when you already have two rooks on the board?
    But even more rare than a double-dis capture with mate, must be the double-dis stalemate.
    Stalemates are rarer than checkmates.

    However, Hikaru cannot say he has performed THE rarest chess move, as he has TIED whoever performed the Doubly-Disambiguated Bishop Non-Capture Checkmate, as the rarest. Hikaru will now need to also win with a Doubly-Disambiguated Bishop Non-Capture Checkmate, thereby ruining that move's chance to be the rarest, and then win with a Doubly-Disambiguated Knight Capture Checkmate, whereupon only then can he say that he has performed the rarest chess move, albeit with two different moves. Go for it, Hikaru! It's one thing to be unique, but it's quite another to be unique, twice.
