Incredible moves. KH2 made me think how as children, our minds are so plastic and creative but we lose that as we become adults and abide by rigid rules. Alphazero has that child-like creative ability to see all possibilities, combined with incredible brute force of calculation. It’s an irresistible combination.
I would love to see an April Fools edition to this series like imagine you are so into finding the move but then BOOM, the worst possible move is played.
Nice examples. Would have been nice to see the stockfish analysis of the same position before and after AlphaZero's move. Did Stockfish expect any of those crazy moves?
This video is incredible. it really is remarkable how strong these entities can be at chess. If you think that world champion Carlsen has been playing for almost 30 years, and he simply has zero chance to pull off a draw against this monstruous engine, it is mind blowing.
@@yellowtitan6040 That's true but this also paves the path for the incoming grandmasters of the new generation that get to learn and structure their neural networks to behave in a way similar to AlphaZero
Bg5 in one of its games was definitely the #1 move. Don't recall the exact game though, but it sacrificed a bishop for what seemed like zero compensation.
You shouldn't call Alpha Zero the strongest engine ever. It crushed SF 8, yes, but so does SF 11 and SFnnue. We don't know if it even stood a chance against more modern engines.
At 5:20, this is how to deliver a smooth checkmate Queen takes h3 pawn (giving check to king) King is forced to take queen on h3 Rook comes on h5 and MATE ! Reason: Rook has taken over the h file, poor king has been left with only two squares on g2 and g4 but both are covered by the light square bishop on f3. !! B O O M !!
The computer Go programs started beating humans at Go in such a convincing way that humans wouldn't play them anymore. Along came AlphaZero (AlphaGo) and in a match with the top computers, beat every one of them in a 100 game match.
The founders of Google misspelled "googol" as "google" and in the case of "Alpha Zero", I think that's also a misspelling of "Aleph Zero" which is a long standing mathematical term for "infinity", which like "googol" represents a large number. A lot of people would see the word "Aleph" and think it's "Alpha."
@My Account chess is a solvable game, yes. But we are faaaaar from it. Even if AlphaZero was trained by a super computer as large as a galaxy, it couldn't answer if a position is a win or a lose or a draw. It simply didn't have enough time to self learn.
@My Account Machine Learning is not magic, if the programme doesn't improve anymore, it may just be stuck in a local optimum. Alpha Zero is definitely impressive, but Leela is now stronger most likely, same as Stockfish 11. But we won't get an answer unless we get to see a proper match again
Alphazero evaluated moves based on win percentage rather than piece points, so surprising tactics don't seem as surprising as if a human had played them
That first bishop move I considered because I was thinking it’s probably some ridiculous thing like this to open up space. Maybe I should go with what’s ridiculous and I’ll win lol
@@nirolf12 alpha performed 100 elo higher than sf8. latest sf dev s is 140 elo higher than sf8. so current sf dev is approx 40 elo higher than alpha. also sf nnue going to be much stronger in few months.
Throwaway line at the end is the most important part. Think about what is coming! The AI is learning VERY RAPIDLY. It took the AI only a few hours of thought to understand chess this deeply, and it is in its infancy... humanity is developing into a type I species, and it's happening in our lifetimes. Exponential curves grow much faster than most expect. 11:42
1:57 I was wondering why black didn’t play knight takes bishop on f5 Perhaps it could somehow diffuse the pressure and prevent white’s attempt to checkmate black king?
sometimes in life as in Chess --- you just got to --- you just got to find the right move. when you wake up in the morning you just got to find the right move and that is the moral of this video. Finding the right move
Simon, can u analysis a few alpha zero games against Stockfish? Always nice have insight into these computers moves and maybe point out some of Alpha Zeros game plan. If possible. Thanks either way. Good vids. Funny stuff sometimes
That was against Stockfish 8 though, which is many orders of magnitude weaker than the current Stockfish 12. People are saying Alphazero would be no match, hard to say.
The idea of Kh2, Rh1, Kg1 for the h file attack is something I've done several times at least. The concept is very normal even if the moves are a bit awkward. The only astonishing thing about that move sequence is that it worked against Stockfish!
Spoilers for Game#2 checkmate!! If the queen takes on H3+, the white king has no choice but to take back with king. This is then followed by Rook h5# as G2 is defended by the white square bishop.
Very interesting video in the series since they are such strange moves compared to usual. Is it just force of habit that you continually refer to a program as "he"?

2:45 My brain autofilled "and in this position, stockfish resigned the game"
agad :)
"as there was nothing more to be done"
Why did he resign?
Well there is nothing more to be done here...this is hanging this is hanging, and if captures captures, there is also captures.
Did you also imagine a dog spazzing out in the background?
"Soory about that"

Hi Simon. You have the typical clarity and straightforward mindset of analytic philosophers. And great teaching skills. Thanks.

That bishop move daring the pawn to take it is the best move I've ever seen

I really like your videos, GM Simon. They are very inspirational.

Thanks for the video, awesome.

Great, instructive video. Could you add reference to the games in description so we may look them up to view the entire games? Thanks.
I put the first play on my Stockfish running on my Galaxy S8 and it recommended exactly the same play without even thinking too much about it.
This is the just one of the first examples of our creation...becoming our teacher.
I like the exploding reaction.
You shouldn't call Alpha Zero the strongest engine ever. It crushed SF 8, yes, but so does SF 11 and SFnnue. We don't know if it even stood a chance against more modern engines.
Lol, he did not said engine rather strongest computer programme. Alphazero is not a chese engine dude.
Fizz Uchiha Lc0 is most likely better, it can hold its own against SF 11, and it’s unlikely Alpha could do the same.

To be honest top 5 moves by Leela would be much more spectacular :)
Leela will be smothered by Alpha Zero, just like he did in Stockfish 😞

Alpha Zero vs Leela
In the first move, another threat is the simple bishop takes pawn on A7. This would give white the edge on the queen's side. Am I right?
That was against Stockfish 8 though, which is many orders of magnitude weaker than the current Stockfish 12. People are saying Alphazero would be no match, hard to say.
The idea of Kh2, Rh1, Kg1 for the h file attack is something I've done several times at least. The concept is very normal even if the moves are a bit awkward. The only astonishing thing about that move sequence is that it worked against Stockfish!

If the queen takes on H3+, the white king has no choice but to take back with king. This is then followed by Rook h5# as G2 is defended by the white square bishop.
i wonder if the analysis of these moves has changed with SF13
Qh1 wins for me. What a ridiculous move that would be to play on the board
