You rock, you are a beautiful diamond !! Keep up shining on. Love you.
@14:53 instead of white Q c2, why not g4 immediately for white to fork B & R? Is there something I missed in that variation? Anyone has a good explanation? And also, was there no time control on this game between engines? 100 + moves, that's a lot of patience to which most of us humans don't have the patient for end games.
Not only your Alpha Zero videos deserve kind words, the only other chess streamer and player I follow is Hikaru Nakamura. Whit this I told everything. Really Great Job! Love you
Looking sooo tired!
I play like AlphaZero too, crazy and innovative ideas no one has ever played before, except I lose all the games lol
Well AlphaZero lost all its games...until it didn't.
@@givemexrice thats some serious motivation right there.
Same
@@givemexrice wow , motivational speaker!! 👏
Same here! -except for innovation. plus I never make good moves
I love how Anna makes a thriller out of this game. "Three pawns down, what is going to happen?!?!?" I used to watch sports, now it's Anna :-)
Think positive like Alpha zero. The king with a broken pawn structure is safe and the bishop has a future.
easier said than done if I can only see up to only 6 future moves in mind not even sure if it's effective
Yeah, Like me before i dropped out...

Holy shit, I had no idea 41 minutes passed. 🤯
wtf same
This lady is really good at explaining this. Or I just like her accent.
Glenn Dunn I was just about to type the same thing. I watch tons of these types of chess videos and she’s definitely better than most at explaining.
It's helps that her voice is soft, it has elements of asmr. She doesn't rush either. At the same time, she does not lack enthusiasm. Overall it's more enjoyable to listen to compared to many others. She also understands that not all of her audience are master level chess players.
Idk if you guys know. But she is a chess grand master after all.
@@johnvictorcogal8278 She's a women's GM, and a FIDE IM. Great accent, great explainer, and being so pretty doesn't hurt, either. :-) I have her Endgame course, and I give it the highest recommendation possible. Very enjoyable and absolutely terrific.
Or both
AlphaZero is the playing variations of the Botez gambit.
😝😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@BLAIR M Schirmer The rook wasn't hanging in the earlier variation
Such an angel, AlphaZero I mean. Anna's ok too I guess.
Anna's gorgeous
"It's an amazing move. I still don't know why, but it's an amazing move."
This video is as hilarious as it is interesting, great work:D
Anna, I am mesmerized by your explanations. These are some great stuff here and it gets me all excited about chess.
I really love watching Alpha Zero playing. It's much more enjoyable than Stockfish playing. Like not minding at material at all and still everything works is just cool
I always end up doubling my pawns I guess that makes me the best player of all time.
I promote my pawns when they reach the back row... to pawns!

What a terrific team the two of you would make together !

"What we have learned?" I have learned, that you are the most illustrative chess commenter on the web! Thank you!
Most fun
Alpha Zero: ''I have the advantage with 2 h-pawns. You only have one. Come at me.''
Awesome response!
Alphazero is Alpha as fuark come at me
Thank you for video and especially I want to thank you for the normal speed of speaking and explaining everything on the board.
The way Anna interacts reminds me of Dora the Explorer. Being a total beginner, I appreciate it very much haha
'It looks bad, it feels bad, but sometimes it can be ok' now that's a lesson for life itself :) 38:10
By far this is the best and most useful analysis of this important Alpha Z game. Anna you’re definitive. Fun to listen to and watch as well. Terrific sense of humor.
The Danish Chess Federation sends our love to the one, the only Ms. Anna Rudolf!
one detail I really like about this video is you clearly thought out how it would appear on youtube. When the play icon and red line appear, together with the video title, it doesn't block the view of the board.
You are the best Anna. Most interesting chess analysis ever encountered.
Dear Anna - I just love your analyses . Thank you so much ! (And if, it doesn't sound in any way patronizing, thank you for your beautiful, PERFECT english - much easier to understand than the "english" most English and Americans speak, but yet with your lovely lilting accent ... :-) )
Learn from the best. Play like that Ai and win every time.
super hard I tried for a month haha the more I try act like AI the lower my accuracy become:((
Love learning with you and Alpha Zero Ana
Anna: "I'm a fan of free stuff."
AlphaZero: "Nothing is more expensive than a free pawn."
Anna i love you, I was looking for this specific alpha zero game because of the ringside attack and now you found it. Thanks a lot and once again good and interesting analysis:)
Fascinating and very informative. This is a new era in chess ☺
AlphaZero playing chess like Mikhail Tal on steroids
lol
7:23 thanks for teaching me the concept of prophylactic moves. I'm a total nub so this is gold!
This content is pure gold. You have the best analysis videos, and I can't wait for the endgame series. Thank you!
I just love the way she explains,
Wonderful commentary... better personality! When you speak about chess as it relates to alpha zero, there is an element of excitement, discovery, and innocence as if im watching a child play a game with brilliancy for the first time. Quite refreshing and enjoyable.
Square color choice so soothing I forgot both sides are trying to kill each other...
I came to Anna after looking for AlphaZero, and I really like her mix of irony, clean explanations and smiles!
That said, there were some comments asking why after 18…Rf8xf5 (14:50), SF didn’t respond immediately forking the bishop and the knight with …g4, and a good explanation was given by Anna at 39:48 («sometimes even a piece down is ok if you can manage to weaken opponent’s King to such an extent»). I think we shall all agree with her, and infact even SF doesn’t care about this fork: after Rf5 g4 [FEN "1r1q3k/b1p4p/B2p3p/4pr1b/P2P1nP1/2P2N1P/1P1N1P2/R2Q1R1K b - g3 0 1"], the best continuation would not be Rf8 gxh5 but (similarly to what her explained a minute before) Rxb2! (notice Qd1 hasn’t moved to c2 yet), Ne4! Qa8, Rb1 Nxh3, Rxb2 Bxg4, Bb7 Qf8, Ng3 Rxf3, Qb1 h5, Bxf3 Qxf3+, Kh2 h4, game still open but white King is in a cage (I let SF12 and Lc0 play this for 4 hours and Black wins).
Nonetheless I think there is something more going on here that Anna didn’t explain: why did AZ move 18…Rf8xf5 (14:35) in the first place? AZ can not trick the opponent so that’s not the case. And AZ thinks in terms of positions, it never cared about pieces, so to take the free f5 pawn losing two tempos seems a poor explanation. Yes it’s a passed pawn but very weak, I don’t really think AZ would mind it.
15:34 Anna says «sometimes you gotta go for the retreating moves», that’s a good advice for a human, but not a justification to why AZ took the pawn on f5 just to retreat the Rook back on the next move. I would be really scared if the reason was to have the White Queen on the c2 square to menace Kb4 forking White’s Queen and Bishop and eventually trap the the Queen as Anna illustrates in the variation (17:44)! And to avoid this variation (19:00) SF not only has to give up its Rook on e3 (like it did), but also has to retreat its Queen back to c1, proving that eventually was SF which lost tempo with Qc1c2-Qc2c1, not AZ with Rf8xf5-Rf5f8!
THIS IS REALLY SCARING.
"Feel free to pause the video and find the winning move for AlphaZero while I give you a couple of seconds."
As is explained in the first video, most Chess AI make decisions loosely based on the point value of the pieces, where as AlphaZero built up an understanding simply based on the rules. However, in that video there was a move it used that StockFish hadn't considered at all. That makes me believe the more advantageous benefit to the way AlphaZero learned the game is not only that it has developed a complete ground-up understanding of the game and it's patterns, but it also uses that completely unique understanding when deciding how it's opponent is going to move.
I could watch you analyze games all day long. Your explanations are soooooo good. I feel like I learned a lot.
"what the fudge, chocolate fudge" Very fun and instructive video Anna
I really like your simplistic (for us) but same time very accurate summary of the position.
WTfudge moments are exactly the WTF moments?! - Thanks for this.
Love your AlphaZero videos. Informative, entertaining, and utterly charming. More please.
I'd like to think that the king on h8 and bishop on a8 were just sitting back talking to one another while everyone else was frantically moving around
I had watched this on other channels, but you are way more knowledgeable about what it's happening on the board. Very competent analysis
Beautiful lesson and demonstration.Thank you ❤
old skool says A0 is weak position and mistake only a beginner would make ..its thinking is truly groundbreaking ..btw you are HILARIOUS! and the most complete best analysis move by move anywhere i have seen ..how has this changed your game Ana ..that would be truly instructive as well
Very intelligent, a great sense of humor and stunning looks. A great teacher and a lot of passion! Every man's dream! I love your content, Anna. Keep it up and your channel will grow for sure. Hopefully I'll be a half decent chess player sometime :P
I like how you personify AlphaZero. It gives the impression AlphaZero is plotting and scheming very thoroughly throughout the game.
32:34 ''PAC MAN mode''
Never heard that in chess before XD
My first Anna video - how fun
3:28 Nah, the King ain’t the boss of *you* Anna. Another awesome analytical video> Many thanks.
Big reasons why this works is very much also simply that black is slightly better developed, with more attacking pieces on the kingside, AND of course, the bishop pair: the black King's bishop is potentially very strong.
Holy fuck, I thought your comment section would somewhat improve since the soothouse vid! Great content btw!
AlphaZ seems to think pawns are hinderance.. Luv your analysis vids by the way .. good job!
🕵️♂️🕵️♀️
21:46 AlphaZero sure loves its dragons
So one thing strategically I think you can take home from Alpha zeros strategy that it likes it’s bishops it did a move to prophylactically save the black bishop in the first several moves which Miss Rudolf was saying she thought that was a beginner move but clearly in the middle game both of the bishops are sitting on the sidelines with attack diagonals for the white king and I’ve seen several games of Alpha zero do that I think that’s a big take-home.
Alpha zero likes it’s bishops on long diagonal.
Oh my god!!!!! Somehow I got this video in my recommendation and just clicked. I don’t know many chess players but somehow I knew that I have seen Anna somewhere before. It is only in the middle of the game that I realized that she is the “Anna”, the “Lip Balm Lady”. I like to watch Agadmator’s chess analysis and in one of his video, he talked about Anna and her lip balm. I also saw the funny answer that Anna commented on Agadmator’s video.
What I have learned is that if a girl beats you in chess, you can blame it on her lip balm :)
Alpha0 playing chess is like that meme with the dog drinking coffee while the house is on fire
Wow! This match was amazing! And your suggestions are excellent! Definitely a great contribution to our understanding of the game. I will save the video! 👍
Stockfish did not take the knight on h6 earlier, doubling and isolating blacks pawns only because black had no way to prevent this. As soon as Kh8 was played, Ng8 was a possible retreating move and only then the knight was taken.
The knight move to the edge which is captured by a bishop, thus destroying king side pawns was played by Bobby Fischer vs Spassky, Game 3, 1972: 11. ... Nh5, which Fischer went on to win.
Alpha Zero, like Tal, taught me piece value is relative to position.
He taught stockfisch too
it's a joy to watch your videos. You are so much fun to watch!
I do so love your channel, Anna! Beauty and Brains, a winning "combination" every time! :-) keep up the good work. I need to check out your course, next! Look forward to more Sub wars With Alexandra! Take care...
27:28 Rb2c8 prevents trapping the bishop!
Anna has the best AlphaZero content
Jim Lang between Her and ChessNetwork we’ll all be pros by years end
@@savvytravvi8660 what i like most about these two, that they take their time and share their thoughts better then anybody else in the chess game analysing world. i prefer jerry over anna though =b
Agadmator...
Black king was actually quite safe. White traded the dark squared bishop so there is no check along that long diagonal. It would be bad if that bishop was still on the board
8:28, Anna explaining to us and all of the sudden the black F pawn moves to f5... how dare it to move without permission!!!
Great insight! Thanks for taking the time to make something so comprehensive!
happy to have found this channel!
An issue with black playing a6 is that in this opening, there is a stand-off between white's bishop in e3 and black's bishop on c4. Black wants to retreat the bishop to b6, so that each side capturing leads to an open file for his opponent. With a6, black no longer has this option.
I'm glad you mentioned a3 will likely not become popular. Alpha Zero was an eye-opener but we should remember that this was not a public event and the hardware/time control environment did not suit Stockfish well nor was Alpha Zero trained to full potential. If this game were played by SF11 and Leela at proper time controls and today's hardware, a3 would likely be a blunder difficult to recover from.
I like the way you say "hie" at the start of video!
I tried to subscribe but TH-cam says i have too many subscriptions !!!! I have learned so much in just viewing two of your videos !!!!! Thank you !!!!
This is actually pretty good learning! Gonna watch some more of you :)
Good points said in a funny style... "This is Pacman mode"
Such a pleasant description.
alphazero: i don't believe in fortresses.
mangus carlsen: would you like to be my friend?
If I remember correctly, on one of the games that Fischer included in his "my 60 memorable games" , he has comments on a variation (did not actually happened in the game) that has a similar case : Fischer was black , small castling , and there was a chance for his white opponent to capture something that would open the g file for Black, and Fischer was giving a variation that he would (as black) move his king to h8 and then bring a rook to g8 , attacking the white king on g1. So he already in the 60ies could think like that.
Thank You Anna, You are just superb !!! I love to listen to you. I wish many commented games with Alpha-Zero on various openings. Warmest Regards !!!
thank you for posting this anna
You speak exquisite English and your accent is quite simply adorable. And 'what the chocolate fudge' made my day. One little pedant gripe though - it's fewer squares, not less squares.
What a sweet commentation. It was like listening to a novel. I never felt it was a chess attack lesson...thank you...it was easy to understand for me as Iranian.
watching this again, and I see how excellent chess teacher you are :) but, I wished to tell you, though you probably know, that, since then, Stockfish also became an artificial neural network engine; only with a smaller faster net called NNUE, and the same classical alpha-beta search; the only what changed is evaluation function, which is now replaced with a small artificial neural network; so, Stockfish 12, the first Stockfish with NNUE, the latest version is Stockfish 13, has convincingly beaten Leela Chess Zero, which is effectively Alpha Chess Zero; there are now a number of other storing chess engines implementing NNUE, but Stockfish seems still to be the strongest; I too implemented NNUE in my Crafty chess engine clone, called, Vafra chess engine, which is to be released soon :) that's it; all those artificial neural network chess engines, either with bigger and slower nets and MCTS like Alpha Zero, or with smaller and faster nets and alpha-beta search like NNUE Stockfish, play similar sacrificial attacking romantic chess :) P.S. it was always difficult for me to play with black against Giuoco Piano
Great video, very instructive and fascinating and of course this beautiful and smart teacher keeps the viewer on his toes.
Thanks GM Anna. Subscribed to your wonderful channel.
I think it’s to be considered that the whole 20 plus moves the white bishop was stuck in its pawn defence in the corner, alpha zero had also rendered its opposing bishop to a blocked position instead of that great diagonal it would have had bearing down on the king. Just a point that seemed be over looked or rather probably just not mentioned, this was excellent video btw
Thank you for another amazing analysis. These videos are awesome.
Brain works and works and now believe my chess is Halma....
But these super explained chess-situations make me crazy...!
Breakfast with you every day.....and a Wine!
Thank you!
Beautiful explanation of Black's unconventional game, thank you Anna.
Awesome stuff Anna!
36:47 put always your bishop in a7 and wait 50 moves.
I use Larry Evans 3.5 for the knight and 3.75 for the bishop
One of the reasons blacks attack is more effective is because sticking have up the dark squared bishop in order to shatter the pawns, but cannot use the bishop to eliminate a knight in f4 as you normally could do.
(4:10) h3 for otherwise Nd4 by black will be deadly. Fisher played knights like that.
Alpha Zero plays like me, except WAY better. But seriously, I don't mind that pawn disruption in front of my king if my opponent has castled on the same side - especially in a position like this where i can place my king in the corner, and the opponent doesn't have a dark square bishop. I'm wiling to risk a bit more open king position for attack potential. It's a delight watching these Alpha Zero games, because Alpha Zero plays like I would *love* to play. The Ne7 move, I wouldn't have seen.
gotta say, i really like what youre doing with your channel. subbed!
Great commentary given by Anna on this video, so entertaining and informative
I saw a MOVIE. it had suspense, adventure, lesson of life, strategy, comedy, "what the fudge", EVERYTHINGG. LOVE YOU🇮🇳
