    Have ro admit, these Stockfish endgames are insane. You'd think humans would get jelly, but it's a true delight seeing these meta ideas Stockfish comes up with that make you think "Yes, and that is why he deserves to be 4,000."

    • @jout738
      @jout738 2 ปีที่แล้ว +36

      Yes humans follow typical principles, like castling early, protect the king, do not give pawns for free and develop knights and bishop before queen and rock, but Stockfish see’s his own crazy ideas and so is like I will not follow thoese principles.

    • @gladosadoree
      @gladosadoree 2 ปีที่แล้ว +69

      @@jout738 Humans cannot calculate as far ahead. That seems obvious, but it means a typical Grandmaster will be more prudent. Humans calculate a bit, in their mind see that pawn being pushed all the way to f7, and think "Hmm, that could be dangerous. Best not give my opponent that much counter-play." Stockfish, however, isn't bothered by such notions. Stockfish doesn't guess, he simply knows he's not in any real danger. There's also the meta level Levy mentions, where it seems Stockfish is literally baiting his opponent (Kf7), so he will play Rf3, eventually. I'm not sure this baiting is a real thing or nor, but if it is -- and that is quite possible -- we're looking at an entire different level of understanding of chess here (actually one that is quite more human). Stockfish appears to understand what his opponent 'thinks' will be a dangerous attack, but one he has already refuted, in his own 'head' (in fact, one he uses as a bait tatic to win the game). Fascinating stuff, really.

      @@gladosadoree I'd guess that if the opponent didn't take the bait and attacked on the other side of the board, then stockfish's king on F7 would be good as well. So doomed if you take the bait, doomed if you don't.

      @gladosadoree 2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      ​@@icycloud6823 I'm a pretty low-level player. I have a solid 2200 ELO, still way, way below Levy, and astrometrically far away from Stockfish. I would have played Kd7 too, and not have thought much of it either. And still don't get the whole Kf7 idea, I must admit. Maybe it's like a Magnus thing, where he kinda does nothing for a while, waiting for his opponent to take a wrong turn?
      At my level, losing tempi tends to be deadly. At Stockfish level -- and to a degree where Magnus lives -- the rules of the game apear to change, kinda like how standard physics changes at quantum level.😄In those upper echelons, all these puny rules I'm bound by, no longer apply. Stockfish can simply afford to toy with his opponent, and it doesn't matter, because he's better anyway.

    Fat Fritz in SF means that Stockfish in this game basically played against a previous version of Stockfish. You may have noticed the lawsuit of Stockfish v Chessbase, which is exactly about that. Chessbase just blatantly used Stockfish in their Fat Fritz engine as the overwhelmingly major part of that engine. Conclusion of the lawsuit was that Chessbase has to say that Fat Fritz 2 is based on Stockfish everywhere Fat Fritz is mentioned

    It's kinda funny: Chess used to be violent, "romantic", attacking chess with pawns flying of the board, then it got a lot more quiet and positional when engines got stronger and stronger and now it's returning to what it once was, at least at the highest level.

      7 years since Giraffe used neural networks to play at top levels (trained by example games)
      5 years since AlphaZero dominated everyone after learning chess without any human training.
      This is just the beginning. Our parents remember when computers couldn't play chess.

      Yep, the idea is the same: you take it and then the pawn takes its place that you can't recapture and mate is unavoidable. The only difference is, that in this game you actually can defend against mate. By sacrificing all your pieces, but still. In Magnus-Supi game there was no chance at all.

    The coolest thing about this isn't necessarily just that the AI can play like this. It's also that there are undiscovered levels of chess, where moves that humans haven't even thought of in a thousand years of chess history, still exists. It's like finding out that after exploring the ocean, there was actually some kind of deeper ocean beyond what we knew existed that is maybe impossible for humans to get to. But we still want to try to get there anyways.
    Imagine how smart and how skilled you would have to be as a human to be able to do what Stockfish is doing. Will humans ever be able to get on that level? Maybe. It's a little trippy thinking about.
