MORE ALPHAZERO

"Stockfish offers a trade of queens"
*5 seconds later*
"Stockfish can't afford to trade queens"

[hornetgamer]

Completely understand your feelings about covering too many games agadmator.

That said, "in this position, Stockfish resigns" will never get boring.

Watching AlphaZero games, I am surprised by the fact that they all look like death matches or elimination games. The game will always end with very few pieces on the board. Amazing. It is like real war!

[mrblacky]

Alpha is soo strong it took Agads yt channel. :)

[jiridobry]

Max Deutsch: Give me 5 hours of training and I'll beat it.

[hey]

Seems that Alpha has the understanding, trading a pawn is absolutely worth killing the activity of a more valuable piece. A bishop stuck in the corner is as good as dead. It will be interesting to see humans attempt to replicate this play style.

[adifferentvideoofabananaev]

human coaches: dont make too much pawn moves and pieces in the opening its dangerous
alpha zero: says who?

[BeerdyBruceLeeCentral]

Human games seem so boring now. Alpha Zero is beyond brilliant.

[pdmorale]

Hahaha loved the comment: “we have to stop this or we won’t be able to enjoy human chess anymore”

[abj]

Stockfish is showing the same old weakness of the old computer software: grabbing material and getting a ruined position. As programs got stronger it seemed they eliminated this problem, yet here we see all it took was a stronger opponent to exploit the problem.

[nobody]

Too late. I think I am already unable to enjoy human chess anymore.

[dolphindiver]

2:04 “And now alpha zero has an very important mission for this Knight” the best line in a game of chess ever

[therealsachin]

I agree in not over doing. But good chess should be appreciated and a non engine & creative chess should be celebrated. So please show it whenever you feel like but don't ban alphazero games. :)

[Eatsgreencandles]

They really are a master class in how to play. A0 ignores all the general rules of chess it never learned. Cramps it's opponent then makes threats.

[ruggedlemmings]

Essentially traded a pawn for a bishop without the need for taking the bishop...brilliant.

[brianniemi]

I’m loving these Deep Mind games! I hope you keep showing them, along with the other great content because you really balance the classics like Morphy and Tal vs. pop culture, like Harry Potter. The old with the new, and this is cutting-edge new. So maybe when you see a Deep Mind game that has some interesting instructional value, like a new opening variation, or reusing a lesser-used one, a brilliant positional strategy, or a theme I am seeing where it blocks in the opponent’s pieces, essentially making the opponent down a piece, I do hope you continue to show some of those, too :)

[sorooshsoft]

The first 20 secounds of this video clearified what we achieved to developing AI in chess. Totallz right. Keep up the good work.

I'm having a stock fish for dinner.

The scientists at Google were more preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should...
