Makes sense why he never loses to his kids
@Correct thourghly enjoyed it, I hope he does it again
never have i ever thought a cat fighting a cat would be this damn interesting because of levy
Come on dude they are bots Lmao
Cats fighting cats have always been the peak of the internet.
I would definitely rather watch a real cat fight w some money on the line than this tbh
I BEATED mittens easily
@blazefusion op uh huh for sure
Funny that Mittens has the patience of mountains when playing against humans, but becomes ADHD brained when fighting against itself
Different opponents require different strategies. :-B
even against humans at some points he plays fishy.
the main thing that i noiced is that it tries to humiliate it

Stockfish is like a wise master while mittens is a reckless student
Mittens is the pupil who was kicked out for being too extreme and became a arrogant, contemptuous villain as a result.
@psychoticmortacarn reminds me of someone…
I'd vote for Mittens as the Chancellor of Germany tbqh
Where does Martin come into this?
@@usedforks someone who can mate in 1 is gonna be the one who'll stop him.
Their match will be out of this world.
I can feel the hatred and evil intentions that lay behind every move Mittens makes. It is not to create, but to destroy.
For real 😂
The name they gave it makes perfect sense now
Levy’s casual interpretations of “watch till the end, it’ll be insane” are sadly accurate

I can't believe Mittens won, this was so unexpected.

I was on the edge of my seat. I was rooting for the Mittens one from the start don't know about that other Mittens...
I can't believe it either. I thought of all outcomes except this. Mind blowing
Moew
Stop spoiling
I personally think mittens' move there was quite amazing, but not as good as mittens' move.
hilarious
Mittens clearly lost. Idk why you say that move that mittens made was a good move. Mitten's move was sooo much better

The word "Mittens" was said 37 times
If you replace every time Levy said "black" or "white" with Mitten's name, the word "Mittens" would've been said 74 times which is almost 4 times per minute
one time per 4 minutes, you mean
@@Sir_Isaac_Newton_ quick maths
@@ricicici3349 no once per 4 minutes with 74 times mittens being said would make the video about 5 hours long. It's almost 4 times a minute. (This is when he was talking about replacing white and black with the word mittens math)

@RoBxyan I’m a full time content creator that’s twitch partner and partnered with Riot games… course I don’t work out
I'm getting more and more confident that Mittens is just stockfish but with an in built preference towards aggressive play at the expense of a slight accuracy decrease.
Catfish
I believe it also favors moves that don’t give it material advantage right away but rather positional advantage and piece quality
@@takoyakiiii this is so funny
@@fork_of_destiny9133 and the name adds onto it too lmao
I 100% agree. The only way to punish aggressive play it to be better and know it's overextending but with Stockfish at the helm you can let it do stuff a little crazy and it will still destroy every human even more scarily than the vanilla Stockfish
Plot twist: Mittens is Martin's pet and that's where Mittens learned to play. The easy job of beating Martin is a complete facade because Martin hates conflict and likes to make other people feel good.
Legend says that if one is good enough to abuse Martin's beloved pet without engine assistance, he will show his true form.
Name: Martin?
Elo: ?
Descriprion: Martin never had to learn chess, he was good at it since the beginning of time and space. And now he is ready to put you back in your place...
Is Martin like mittens? Low epo but godly?
@Muffin Guy elo
@@rockinblues7491 Martin? You were the best at chess all along?
Martin?: always have been *checkmates*
Martin created the universe just so he could humour humans and eventually destroy them through their hubris by beating his cat
The most difficult part of this video was to figure out which move was Mitten's and which move you were telling us about and playing yourself to show us XD
I love how Levy talks about these games like he's calling a horse race. Makes it even more fun.
Watch it in 2x speed and its more like an auction
He's the ideal commentator for this kind of game.
The Waffle House has found its new host.
He narrates it just like a fukimg battle. It amazes me to learn to play chess
Mittens: I have to sacrifice my bishop so that i can checkmate you
Other Mittens: Heh, I know that. So I wont TAKE it.
Mittens: I already know you won't take it. So with my bishop.. i'll take the FREE PAWN.

The Bishop being defended through the fourth dimension was pretty funny.
Fourth dimension of time 😂
I felt like the smartest person alive while watching this because I generally understood most of it
Lol
I love watching Mittens play. So chaotic. It's how I wish I could play chess without just losing in like 10 moves lol
The reason black mittens did that rushing around the board sequence of catching two pawns in different places and rushing off with the bishop at 6:45 instead of just defending is because he had the zoomies
It's been 6 days and this is the first joke I've seen like this. Nicely done!

That move by Mittens was trully spectacular.

Discovered you a few weeks ago and I keep being drawn back to watch, also made me end up watching Queens Gambit which made me feel silly being 2 years late cause I absolutely loved it. I'm not a chess player and I'm absolutely awful at it, but you really make every move so entertaining! Thanks for great content!

No one start good at chess not even a genius every one was awfull at certain moment if u learn the principles you will gradually get better.
When I saw mittens play that first pawn I already knew mittens was going to win
These games were literally the ending of Death Note.
“I will sacrifice my bishop!”
“I already predicted you would do that, so I will take the PAWN!”

it’s always worth it to watch the entire video. been with levy since he started and it’s just worth every second of your life.
24:10 Mittens may have lost, and Mittens may have won, but I think we, the spectators, were the real winners today.
I came into your videos knowing absolutely nothing about chess with your first video on the Mittens bot. The way you narrate the matches is so incredibly dramatic and funny, and just through watching I without any proper lessons on anything I feel like I have a better grasp and understand of the game than before, keep this sort of stuff up!
Levy is the only guy that can make chess more entertaining than watching a movie! Love your channel!
Was inspired to do the same thing and Mittens with black sacced 3 pawns and the queen for a stalemate. It was incredible
Stockfish beat Mittens with depth 9 only. It was a crazy game.
I like his way of explaining and taking the viewer step by step along the game
Ever since Jennifer Lawrence first played the game of chess I have been fascinated by all the different variations of the opening.
I still love this meme
When does she play chess?
Mittens seems like the Mikael Tal of chess computers. It likes to play aggressive moves that lead to tactical jungles even if they aren't strictly the best moves. This works very well vs humans, not so well against other computers.
Man you are literally breaking records. 986k views in just 18 hours on a chess video by you is awesome 🔥🔥. Keep it up Levy ❤❤.
I really appreciate the effort you put into explaining everything. Thanks, Emma!

Btw Did chess had became too popular for any reason or its just me seeing this??
Mittens literally carrying chess content rn
Levy makes me love chess even more
At 18:14 white had checkmate. Queen to h6, forces the king to the only safe square f7, then bishop c4, puts check mate as f6 f8 g7 and g8 are guarded by the queen, e6-8 by the rook, and bishop has f7
Edit: Just realize Knight takes bishop on c4, but this still puts white in the better position. White takes black bishop with queen c3, and now black has to either sac the knight then trade their queen for white's rook, leaving black with just pawns and white with a queen. Or move the knight to a5 and trade queens which still leaves white in the better position as it's now a pawn game and the rook can take out pawns much easier then the knight can
eh, stockfish says draw tho
Levi accepting his inferiority against the absolute power of mittens
From the start, I knew mittens was going to win.
man i thought mitten was going to win he had such good position
I was expecting mittens to be able to force a draw. I mean mittens is pretty good, but mittens is an eldritch horror.
... And then they drawed!;)
Can not believe Levy cut out the bit at the start where he stares into my soul and analyzes my history and familial lineage
As well as your and your family's previous chess games, the accuracy of each individual moves made in each individual games, as well as the reasoning behind each and every single moves, including blunders. Oh, not to mention your chess rating and how much you've improved since the first time you played chess.
And if you haven't played chess before...don't worry. He can create a perfect simulation of how your first game would go, down to the timestamps and thoughts behind each and every single moves, as well as your opponents every moves down to the timestamps and thoughts behind it.

Mittens played good, It didn’t even seem that she will lose against Mitten
Mittens feels like an engine trying to play like a human
I never thought i would get so excited about a game of chess
He is the only guy who can make a chess game as entertaning as a sports match.

Also levy: in the first game they played a london
