This year's TCEC was super interesting watching the Stockfish team come back and defeat everyone by incorporating the Neural Network positional analysis of AlphaZero/Leela into their classic Monte Carlo depth search... In a way, it's like AlphaZero and Stockfish 11 had a baby.
14:40 crazy how similar this endgame is to Fabi vs MVL in the candidates; shows that they're definitely studying alpha zero's games for their preparation
Usually endgames are theoretical solved by tablebase, us common men can access it in lichess too And no they usually don't refer alphazero for endgames. Endgames are referred from the tablebase. It has some crazy position However I had a video where Daniel said that the top players use multiple seconds who use multiple engines (maybe only three engines)
Idea for the video. There are historical records of Stalin, Napoleon and other known figures chess games. Would be unique content to overview these games. Cheers!
AlphaZero happened at almost the perfect time, and that is impressive on its own. Computer chess sunk into a rut, because the best software only had other similar software to compare against. All chess engines have the "Horizon effect" where they are blind beyond their search, even AlphaZero. This could easily have gone the other way, with Stockfish or another engine beating ALphaZero. You can see similar lopsided competitions if you run an engine against a previous version of itself. There are only a few weaknesses left in computer chess play, and AlphaZero took advantage and got a lot of attention. White can very likely force a draw, and that may be the next domino to fall soon.
These don't count as real games in my book. You said it yourself, Alpha Zero would never play that Najdorf, and the lines were forced. I understand this is all theory but there is a reason why AZ would not play this. AZ should play another 1000 games against the latest version of Stockfish without lines being forced.
Both are forced to use openings to see how robust they are in a variety of different states. It can show how well they can do in suboptimal situations and how adaptive they are, otherwise it would literally just be one identical game where nobody learns anything
I think that Levy is grinding so hard trying to make his money while the Queen's Gambit surge is still here, but in doing so he's actually picked up the baton from the Queen's Gambit and is keeping chess momentum alive (mostly) by himself. There are the other major channels like Eric and Hikaru and Daniel but I won't take anything away from them either.

that match was basically a rigged publicity stunt. stockfish cpu was way underpowered compared to alphazero's gpu, and sf only had 8 mb of ram, so much like a human with bad memory it had to keep recalculating its lines. Fritz engine would have won against sf under similar conditions.

19:48 kd2 actually makes a lot of sense because it defends the pawn on d5. the previous move, qc7 threatened bxd5 by pinning the c4 pawn. the only other moves to defend the d4 pawn would be kb2, which runs into future problems with rab8, or one of three knight moves (nf6, nc2, nb3) all of which move the knight to a much less active square than d5. An interesting move to look at could be nc6, which still loses the d5 pawn after nxc6, dxc6, and either qxc6 or bxc6, but gives stockfish an open d file, however stockfish probably didn't consider that adequate compensation for sacrificing an incredibly important pawn and trading off a very well placed knight. tl;dr: kd2 is the only move that protects d5 without compromising the d4 knight or lining up the king and queen on the b file
Alphazero: *Majorly moves pawns, sacks pawns and doesn't care, plays absurd moves that no human could possibly understand without thinking for a long time* 600 rated me: *Maybe I am a chess engine*
Interesting to see that by programming to look for win probability at all times, AZ never really looks for drawing positions. The same thing happened with AlphaGo when it finally lost, it was starting to make a bunch of chaotic moves rather than staying solid. It always wants to create winning chances and will do whatever it takes to get them.
So Stockfish and Alphazero played two games with each opening, one where Stockfish was black and one where Stockfish was white. My question is, are there any games where Stockfish defeated Alphazero with an opening but did not lose with the other colour in the same opening? If one colour loses in both the games of a particular opening, it just means that the opening is bad. Like if Alphazero lost to Stockfish playing the Traxler (slightly unsound opening) and Stockfish also lost with colours reversed, it just means that the opening was bad, not that one engine played better than the other. Edit: grammar
Man Levy mentions the word bully so many times that one feels tempted to sing the old "Full Metal Jacket"-song where the refrain is bulle bulle....bulle bulle, but to change the words to bully bully.....bully bully instead. :)
No no, he has a point. The fact that AlphaZero beat Stockfish beat Stockfish 155 times doesn't change the fact that Stockfish beat AlphaZero six times.

Edit: grammar
Levy that thumbnail and title is godlike
Man Levy mentions the word bully so many times that one feels tempted to sing the old "Full Metal Jacket"-song where the refrain is bulle bulle....bulle bulle, but to change the words to bully bully.....bully bully instead. :)
Tfw a computer fucking resigns
No no, he has a point. The fact that AlphaZero beat Stockfish beat Stockfish 155 times doesn't change the fact that Stockfish beat AlphaZero six times.
But you gotta admit that putting an "!" at the end is kind of clickbaitish for 6 out of 1000 wins. No hate to Levy though.
+Levent but speedrunning also doesn't change the fact that Stockfish needed 30 to 1 time odds to start winning
How to beat AlphaZero: Lock the position and brace for impact, and hope you survive.
human: oh no its a fork
computer: please fork me
Sparta:NEVER SURENDER!!!
Alphaero: WRITE THAT DOWN WRITE THAT DOWN!
