I like this format a lot for "busting stockfish" type puzzles. For regular puzzles where stockfish is in agreement with the solution, I think the old format is still good
one of the few occasions where human ingenuity beats "perfect games"

but its only relevant if a human is exposed to the puzzle right when stockfish is. What's happening here is, the human knows the solution beforehand. Its simply not an equal match. And I don't think stockfish will come in real world to oppose this.

That would take so many moves for Stockfish to calculate the winning line. That is where human thinking beats a computer algorytm, because we think in patterns no matter how many moves the end result takes.

That's also the key to solving Blathy's monsters (mate in N, where N is in the hundreds); he has a lot of these where Black will cream White if White gives Black some breathing room. But there's a sequence that allows White to make one move without releasing Black. Then the sequence repeats, White gets another move, etc.
Yes this format is definitely better as it compares human moves to stock fish moves
Personally, I loved the new format. Seeing you work through the puzzle rather than just present the solution was entertaining. Also, it's always nice to see the oddball position that Stockfish can't correctly evaluate. Happy New Year, I hope the flood repair is going well, and thanks for the video
I think trying to win against stockfish is a good video approach for positions like this where there's no single forcing line and you are sort of demonstrating a technique without showing every line.
I really enjoyed this format a lot because I like how you work through the solution to the puzzle. I like how this also shows how a computer can be wrong sometimes in evaluating the solution. Happy New Year!!
I actually really loved the new method of playing against Stockfish. Please do this more often.
I enjoyed this very much and believe you can really learn much about mating techniques from studying these types of puzzles. I used the Komodo Dragon engine, and it too indicated an initial draw. It was entertaining to play this one out on my own. One thing that is important to note is that you do have to make forcing moves or this will be a draw by the 50 move rule. There is a definite method needed to force the king to the other side of the board where it can be mated. Thanks for finding these interesting positions!
Happy New Year, Nelson! Hopefully you have overcome the damage after the flood. It is very much appreciated that you are making chess videos for us on the side.
Loved it. Happy New Year!
hey this was insane, I'd have never figured this out on my own, thanks for the insight and keep up the good work!

Happy New Year 2023! I like time to time to see such bizarre situation.
I think when stockfish didnt take the knight at the start then your knight can escape and its an easy win.
That looks like a similar situation in Omega Chess where the queen is the only piece that can force checkmate without any support.
Wow, a smothered mate with the queen.
Correct me if I got it wrong but I believe Nelson's knight check is a blunder. Unlike other corners, once the black king was allowed to move into the a1-c2 rectangle, there is no way for white to chase it out because the very important d1 square is covered by the e2 pawn. The white queen would not be able to check/do a waste move on d1. You can try to chase the black king out with the following FEN, I can't: 8/8/8/4p3/4p3/1Q2pppp/4prpr/k3Kbnq w - - 0 1 Going back to the very beginning of the puzzle, I was wondering what is the purpose of setting a white knight in b5. I believe it is forcing the black king to lose a tempo. At 0:48 I believe it should be like: 1. d7 Kxb5 2. d8=Q Kb4 3. Qd3 e4 4. Qc2 e3 5. Qb2+ and the no matter which way the king moves, the white queen just staying a knight-move distance with the king to prevent it coming down again. And then I suppose the number of pawns in the e file is carefully set as well, if there was one less pawn, I believe it would not be enough for white to chase the black king into the g file "well". That part I didn't careful think it through, but just believe a chess composer would not set useless pieces on the board.

NVM from 6:40 suppose all pawns are advanced, then it's 1. Qa3+ Kb1 2. Qc3 Ka2 3. Qa3 Kb3 4. Qb1+ Ka3 5. Qc2 So it takes some time to force the black king out of a corner but seems can still finish off black within 50 moves
Amazing position. I enjoyed it ❤

I like this format.
can you make a video on playing against stockfish with stockfish down a queen😁
The thing is, stockfish can't solve puzzles like this (quickly) because it's simply not designed to be optimal for this. In order to be good at chess that happens in real games, it doesn't waste time by being good at solving puzzles. The simple way to put it is that each puzzle of this type is essentially a special endgame which requires its own endgame table; there is a certain relatively small set of states that if you stay within (forced by one player) then you can find a forced checkmate at a relatively high depth, where a normal game tree search isn't optimal. For instance, in this puzzle, if you tell white to never move the king and to never capture any piece other than the pawn that ends up on g3, then a computer can easily and automatically generate every possible state, verifying that black cannot escape this state space, and make a small endgame table that finds the forced checkmate for white, in the same way that normal endgame tables are made and used for real endgames with a small number of pieces (and therefore you don't need to follow any special rules to stay within the "small" search space). In principal it wouldn't be too difficult to automate this type of puzzle solving process; look for "rules" that one player can follow which massively restrict the space of board states, and then for each of these, make the endgame table, and see if the current state has a forced checkmate, forced stalemate, or nothing. The problem is that this isn't practically useful, because this will almost never successfully find anything in a real game, so almost always just wastes time when you could be doing a more shallow but wider search, looking for "good" positions at a lower depth.
What if Ka7 after you check him at the top left corner
I wonder what it would take to help StockFish understand that the position is not a draw, one side has mobility the other hasn’t, and then there’s a mate in 25+
I once made a position where i filled up the board with bishops on the same color and stockfish said it was a win.
We need a proof that the king is forced to leave the a8 corner by force and not by mistake. After Qc6+ the king can go back to a7 for example.
Feel free to experiment with your format
I guess you could have eliminated some of the pawns to speed it up. Particularly the one that you need to take anyway. Certainly an interesting technique to force the king into a hole.

There is nothing the knight can do. If white tries to save the knight, for example 1. d6+ dxe6 2. Na3+ Kb3 3. Nb5 exd6 there will be no queen or win Na3+ is actually a wasted move which accomplishes nothing. 2. dxe7 queens a move sooner and avoids a couple delaying pawn moves. 3. d7 was also a mistake, de7 is better and white should have hunted down the mobile pawns to avoid some of their delaying moves.
Why in the world not take the black pawn from the very beginning instead of first moving the king over there and then juggling both concerns?

it is because of the depth . if you make depth 100 it will say mate and win for white. depth means the number of moves stockfish will analyse . so you didn't trick stockfish
@lockaltube
Жыл бұрын
I won't be so sure about 100. "Depth" in stockfish does not mean that "all N moves were analyzed" - it is impossible for any chess engine. It means that engine analyzed up to N in depth nodes in the tree, trimmed with alpha-beta pruning algorithm (combining with other algorithms in Stockfish, like NNUE). That's why Stockfish can sometimes easily find a mate in 40 (on depth 10) or can't see a mate at all.

nice. i got it all wrong
there was a free rook at beginning
why that emoji
Why not gobble up those pawns on E file to free the king to support?
Isn't Na3+ a wasted move? The knight is doomed, what does moving it accomplish? Why d7 rather than dxe7? Leaving the e pawn gives black extra stalling moves? And, why not pick off the other pawns before going after the king? It would take 4 moves, which you spent pointlessly shuffling your queen around, and would again eliminate stalling moves. --- I prefer straight up analysis. What's the point of watching someone making mistakes against stockfish? While some people seem to think you "tricked" stockfish, the position is a win for white, stockfish was simply not clever enough to see that white must create a cul-de-sac to force black into.
bravo.
How does that even happen?
So… stockfish can look ahead some number of moves, but is incapable of having ideas and proving them out?
Why can't you just take the e3 pawn and get your king out
