Mephisto is so powerful that he realized he was playing against a better AI and then tried to play the only moves that allowed him to find a bug in his opponent, maximizing the result considering his computing power. An engineering and economic masterpiece in terms of resources/performance.
Software engineer here: I obviously don't have access to the software being used by the chess website, and I also haven't looked at any of the Stockfish source code, but here's my hypothesis based on 20 years of experience in the industry: This appears to be a discrepancy between the "rules engine" software, which is responsible for enforcing the rules of the game when a player attempts to make a move, and the "game engine" software, which is responsible for calculating the best moves for a given position. The discrepancy is regarding whether or not the game is in a drawn state. As you can see, the rules engine (correctly) believes the game to be drawn: it is preventing any additional moves in the game and awarding each player 1/2 point, effectively ending gameplay. However, if you look at the Stockfish calculation in the final position, the game engine clearly does not believe this game to be drawn: if it did, it would display an equal positional evaluation of 0.00, indicating a drawn position. Instead, the game engine is reporting a 6.23 point advantage for black. This seemingly indicates that, according to the game engine, a draw has not been reached. Now, I went back through the video and counted the number of times the final position was reached: I did count 3. This tells me that there's either a bug in the Stockfish algorithm with respect to recognizing threefold repetition, or a bug in the way the website is utilizing the results of the Stockfish calculations. Given that you have tested this on two separate and independent platforms, I would conclude the former. Exactly what the root cause of the bug is, I can't say... but the developers contributing to the Stockfish project can figure it out. You should submit a bug report to them via their GitHub page containing the pgn of this game and a link to your video. In my _professional_ opinion, this game is peculiar enough to warrant some investigation on their part. As always, great content from this channel. Thanks for all you do for us.
Legit speechless by this. Can’t be explained as anything other than a bug in Stockfish, and one that I’ve never encountered before. I’ve seen Stockfish unable to determine the strength of a move before it’s played, but missing a one move draw is inexplicable. This is such a cool video because of that. You’ll probably never be able to replicate this in a different setting. I’d love to hear some follow up explanation if you find someone who can look under the hood and tell us more. Also, great job Mephisto! Lol
Okay, so chess AI like Stockfish use a minimax algorithm with AB pruning and lots of optimizations. One of which is a lookup table. Board states are hashed (for instance by zobrist hashing), which makes them easy to find in a database. There is a very small chance that 2 different board states lead to the same hash. It could be, that with Stockfish, hash collisions are ignored, because of the extremely small chance? Otherwise it has to do with some optimization that they used to check for, or store, repetitions.
I want to feel smart so I'll pretend like I understand what you said there. Yep, I 100% agree with you, that is clearly the issue my friend! Took the words right out of my mouth!
@@thecook238 Essentially, the board state would be converted to a string of characters like 'aabbccddeeffgg', except a lot more "random" and longer. Because of it's low chance to be repeated the OP is assuming stockfish doesn't have a check to fix this problem. So there would be 2 different board states with the exact same hash, so during the lookup there would be confusion.
The problem is that there is no easy fix for hash collisions. Stockfish hashes board positions into a 64 bit number, which yields a total of 2^64 possible hashes. However, there are way more chess positions, so rarely, two of them turn into the same hash and collisions happen and there is not really anything, we can do about that
12:52 I play the vienna exclusively so a little bit of insight here: If black continues developing naturally with a move like Bc5, white has a couple options but f4 systems can often transpose into KGD positions where on a high depth stockfish recognizes white is actually better! There's even a really cool line where white can sack a rook! e4 e5 Nc3 Nc6 Bc4 Nf6 d3 Bc5 f4 d6 Nf3 Bg4 h3 Bxf3 Qxf3 Nd4 Qg3!! 4...Na5 is boring and breaks all oppening priniples, but concretely it ruins white's pawn chain and gets rid of the pride of the position in the light squared bishop. Sure black gives up any and all winning chances, but stockfish hates fun anyway so it's happy to try and force the game to as drawish a position as early as possible
fell asleep to this video last night and went back to rewatch it this morning, expecting to have my hopes from the title be dashed, but what an absolutely exciting result!
What is very interesting to me is that on the chess website, you can see that even after the game is drawn, stockfish appears to still be calculating lines and moves, even though the game is over and there are no more moves that can be made. I sincerely can not see how this could be anything other than a bug.
@@ASMRChess would that mean it's a bug specifically with stockfish then? Both your chessup board and the chess website agree that it's a draw, but it seems somehow the ai just doesn't understand this.
If you have good garbage collection protocols, and your program is simple enough, you don't need much working RAM. No video memory, no multitasking, nothing that you'd see in your normal devices. That's how the older chess computer gets away with only having 256 bytes of working memory; it just doesn't need any more.
@@michaelbauers8800 sorry to nerd out, but RAM is only used for running the program out of, and variables. so the program transfers from storage to ram and gets executed from ram
There's no way stockfish didn't see the repetition because there were different moves in between the repeated states, right? It's the only thing I can think of but it's far too basic for stockfish, it makes no sense
Thank you :) my first videos didn’t go so well either. Maybe just try again? I had this channel for 6 years before it really “clicked” for me how I should make my videos.
if I had to guess what stockfish was *thinking*, there was probably the repetition of moves as 1 posible response to its checks, but every other move was probably evaluated as loosing. So it probably was supposed to repeate moves only once, giving the opponent a chance to blunder before playing into a different line(cause I can't imagine any other explanation personally)
Great. I already own a Chessup board and now they are way cheaper. Well at least I can use mine now... You should send this game to the developers of both stockfish versions. Shouldn't the program be aware of draws by repetition?
I am talking to the founder of ChessUp (Jeff) about ideas to upgrade the product and provide him with my own feedback and feedback from my viewers who have bought the ChessUp board. We are currently trying to figure out how the bug happened - the fascinating thing is that chess.com has the EXACT same bug even though they are completely unrelated to ChessUp. I will probably make a video about it when I find the answer.
I analyzed this game with an installed copy of Stockfish 14.1 and it seems something went terribly wrong with the ChessUp in this game: 29:09 12.Qd2 loses a piece after Qxg2, Bd2 is the best move 45:20 23.Re3 gives up an exchange for nothing, Kd2 is the best move 57:35 25.Rh3 is actually the best move 1:11:00 39...Rf4+ doesn't even show up unless I set the program to analyze 26 different lines (and it recognizes it as a draw), otherwise d5 is the best move Edit: The repetition bug might be caused by only looking at the Forsyth-Edwards Notation for the position (as it doesn't record the number of times a position was repeated) instead of considering the whole game. If I analyze the problematic position that way, Rf4+ does get suggested.
Everything up to Rf4+ is fine according to my analysis. It plays strong moves consistently until Rf+ which is a HUGE blunder. I like your idea about FEN being used - in that case both ChessUp and Chess.com will have made the same mistake in integrating Stockfish.
Sooo, I was looking through your backlog of videos and found your wonderful Inuit friend Arnaq.

Not trying to be contradictory and pedantic, but IMO doesn't seem at all ironic, because the actual electronics are not large even for the first Chessmaster. A CPU, some ROM, some RAM, a bit more circuitry. There have been electronic chess sets with a wide range of board sizes, or in some cases no board at all. There were even calculator sized chess computers, one even had a tiny little pull out board.
I think Stockfish AI is just refusing to take less optimal moves even if it results in a draw. We can prove this is if the same thing happens over and over again.
Yes I agree that Stockfish must somehow be unaware that the move results in a draw which makes it a bad move. If the move did not result in a draw it would be a good move and therefore it is very probable that Stockfish simply thinks it is the best.
I’ve seen the similar board but the pieces moved on their own it was super cool. Would be cool if it hooked up online or somethin so you could play a friend or people in your skill range.
Moving boards have historically had issues, even the latest Square Off boards have some reported issues. It's expensive to make a truly durable movement system, so you can't expect that. It's just a question of how durable. We had self moving boards back in the 1980s, and I would see them in stores, and stand there in amazement watching them do their thing. I was a kid, not a rich kid, so they were out of question to buy. I did consider the Square Off, but I bought a Millenium Chess Classics Exclusive, with wooden board, and full piece recognition. Very easy to play a game of chess against it. It does get online, but requires a separate bluetooth gizmo. And figuring out exactly what it supports is not simple. There's also Chess Nut Air, Millenium e-one, DGT Pegasus, etc. Lots of products with various pros and cons.
@@Toxikyle1 There are some videos, showing some mechanisms for moving the pieces. Imagine a metal rod, connected to some sort of rails on both sides, and it can move across board. Then another gizmo, that moves along the rod. I presume the gizmo has a magnet that can be turned on or off. Then you just need clever software, that can move pieces in the way, for example, for knight moves.
I'm my own granddaughter? (Born in 1989) Hahahaha Also the perfect move here 34:38 would've been to castle the White King with the unmoved rook but oh well
Maybe the weird behavior could have something to do with the depth that it reaches before the move is shown on the board? I’ve used stockfish 15.1 and it usually finds a move in a few hundred milliseconds but you wait around 5-10 seconds it comes up with a new better move because it had more time to reach a higher depth. Im not sure if its related though
The game would be more comprehensive if all the chess pieces were in the same place if u can say like that , the fact than the old boy is upside down of thenew one make me a little confused at first
Good question :) there are small lights that show the moves. You can watch my video about Mephisto to see how it works. th-cam.com/video/aeLhLecgPbM/w-d-xo.html
I have a question: I’ve always been brought up on the fact that the king is always placed upon his own colour yet I hardly ever see it set up like that. Have I been told wrong all my life or what I’m a bit confused
Instead of funding these projects, you could just go vegan. That's the best thing you as an invididual can do for climate and environment. It's also morally the better thing to do for most people located in industrial nations.
Chess engines don't typically check if a move results in a draw due to repetition or 50 move rule or even insufficient material. If you put white and black against each other with just a king they will move around endlessly if nothing stops them. The chess engine simply sees if a move is legal and evaluates the resulting position. The reason I believe they don't do this check is because I am fairly certain it would exponentially increase the amount of calculation to check if a what would be winning position turns out to be a draw due to the special rules and have to start over.

Stockfish sadistically dodging the threefold repetition draw a thousand times, then drawing without realizing feels kinda good
Imagine this from the computers POV. They could literally play this game in milliseconds, and the human took over an hour just to move the pieces...
Well since computers have no concept of time and only “think” while computing it still feels like milliseconds for them

Good question :) there are small lights that show the moves. You can watch my video about Mephisto to see how it works. th-cam.com/video/aeLhLecgPbM/w-d-xo.html

I have a question: I’ve always been brought up on the fact that the king is always placed upon his own colour yet I hardly ever see it set up like that. Have I been told wrong all my life or what I’m a bit confused
yes you have been told wrong. The queen starts on her own color.
Strangely I was too.
Mandela effect? Me too
Usually whoever goes first wins or ends in stalemate right?

Bro chess finally got an update💀💀☠️
Can you talk a little bit not loud 🙏
How do know what Mefisto wants to move??
It has little LEDs at the 1-8/A-G
Can you edit your sound to be crispy? It’s too much bass which I don’t like in asmr and also go ear to ear sometimes
Agree. Lower the bass!
very clever really low voice yawn

Instead of funding these projects, you could just go vegan. That's the best thing you as an invididual can do for climate and environment. It's also morally the better thing to do for most people located in industrial nations.
Lolwut
Chess engines don't typically check if a move results in a draw due to repetition or 50 move rule or even insufficient material. If you put white and black against each other with just a king they will move around endlessly if nothing stops them. The chess engine simply sees if a move is legal and evaluates the resulting position.
The reason I believe they don't do this check is because I am fairly certain it would exponentially increase the amount of calculation to check if a what would be winning position turns out to be a draw due to the special rules and have to start over.
I’ve gotten better by watching your videos thanks. 🤘🏼♟
