Hi Jerry, excellent videos and analyses. There is one game between all those 200 games that is a Semi-Slav, where Stockfish (Black) managed to get a pawn in c4 and g4, and then things get super complicated (atleast for me xD).

SpinSpider Just so you know, the “4” in “Stockfish Level 4” refers to a different number than the “8” in “Stockfish 8”. SF8 is the eighth version of Stockfish, which can be configured to play at many different difficulty levels. In this video, SF8 is playing at full strength. When you play SF level 4 on lichess.org (for example), you are playing SF10, configured to be much weaker than its full strength.

underrated comment

It's interesting how Alpha teaches us how we've all been misled by our training. When we, as humans, see that we can get a rook for a bishop, it's almost an automatic move to take it in most cases. Since Alpha taught itself from scratch, it was never miseducated into thinking that any piece has a specific set value. The value of any piece is entirely dependent on what it can actually do on the board, given the position of all the pieces in the game, and has absolutely no inherent value otherwise. I love the games where it's like Stockfish: Ha! It's the mid-game and I'm up three pawns! Suck it, AlphaZero! Alpha: Material means absolutely nothing. Look at the board. You're losing.

@danusiaspock9253

Indeed, but if we're trying to reduce inaccuracies in general, it's worth taking note of what AZ seems to show - that thinking of pieces as having set values is itself an inaccurate and unnecessary way to analyse a game. The value of a piece depends on what it's doing now, and what it has some prospect of doing (not in principle, but in the actual game unfolding). To some extent, we've always known this, else such things as sacrifices would never have appeared in human GM games to begin with. AZ is just able to make much better use of this higher-resolution thinking than we can, for the reasons you give (I don't think an non-augmented human is ever going to beat Alpha Zero!).

I always thought the point values are just for beginners to understand exchanges. Even intermediate players understand that pieces value is dependant upon what they are doing. It's engrained into you once you understand the value of connected 7th rank pawns can be more powerful than a queen or the first time you get mated by minor pieces while your up material Looking at high level games, tals games come to mind specifically, they will trade down material if it is a sure advantage. If theres no way to materialize the advantage then a rook is more powerful than a bishop but if there is a strategic reason then bishop may be better. Alpha zero probably just understands deeper than anyone when and how the bishop can be better. Just thinking out loud here though who tf knows right? Certainly be not me

@kategrant2728

I prefer to think of it more like the Tao of Chess. Alphazero has this because Alphazero doesn't play with intentions in mind. When you have a human player, especially an inexperienced one, they'll play with plenty "more" on their mind. They may be looking to develop a particular strategy (clumsily), or they may be pre-occupied with certain pieces that are plaguing them or serving them well. It's not just that it seems logical in retrospect, it's that Alphazero moves with what you might call grace. Once you take away all the cognitive biases that plague a human player, play seems 'obvious'.

Was just watching your blitz tournaments and now im here, love your channel and you do a great job at explaining methods lower ranked players like myself can understand, thanks jerry!

The pattern I see from AlphaZero. 1. Put all pieces to ideal position, than only commit to castle. 2. Do not overcommit in the center as it what hold pretty much every position. Plus, there might be chance for the king to stay in the center, keeping it active is playing with an extra piece. 3. As white, most of the time the light square bishop is shut down pretty hard. Restricting the castle at a8 further. 4. Pawn sac and keeps the bishop pair alive so there are less pawn block for greater piece activity. 5. No rush with pawn break. Force stockfisk into zugzwang, then only break open the position. 6. Last but not least, piece maneuver and space acquisition is always on point. Attacking on one side without compromising too much defending on the opposite site. It's pure masterclass. Have to say, every game played is very impressive. Yeah. Last but not least, for anyone who keep saying "The move is clear as daylight." Beat stockfish 8 soundly, with proof 1st and foremost of course, then I will believe you.

Your analysis is on another level imo. I really appreciate your videos and hope you have more alphazero games. Break through stuff, amazing to see, and your analysis of the games is awesome.

Great series. Appreciate the depth of analysis.

I have found your analysis of alphazero games to be most useful amongst all the other ones on the internet. You elucidate positional play and strategic ideas brilliantly. I hope you keep them coming, I most certainly will be looking forward to them.

Hello, Jerry! So glad I discovered your channel here ...What I like most here is when Alfazero talks to Stockfish at the end of the game, giving him lessons on how to play. I get mesmerized of that robotic voice rebuking Stockfish...I feel like ET came back to play chess with us, humans.

At 9:01 I auto assumed that "this is played with" would be followed by "a draw offer" because I've gotten so used to hearing that now.

Excellent interpretation. Pretty deep analise.

something that's exciting for me about AlphaZero is it's ability to multitask, it can send multiple different threats to all corners of the board while still being connected and without weakening itself

@franzluggin398

It does seem like the best strategy to translate raw computational power into chess wins is to construct complicated scenarios where you have as many movement options as possible (ideally) while making it hard for the opponent to have an easy strategy of their own. The more time your opponent has to waste to think of a good move, the worse the move they pick under time constraints is going to be. At least with high probability.

Not really, from 1000 games, 835 were draws.

Move 25 if you move the D1 rook there could be a Bishop sacrifice on D5 with a now very active black queen

I watch these completely for the final voice at the end of AlphaZero.

Jerry at 14:56 I think the reason you want to keep the D rook where it is is so that the e5 advance remains a threat. It's the only explanation I can come up with.
