Outer Space Invader Pawn in the French | AI Leela Chess Zero vs Stockfish
This is a round 63 game between AI Leela Chess Zero v20.2-32930 and Stockfish 190203. It was from the Season 14 Superfinal of the Top Chess Engine Championship 2019. Both Leela Chess Zero and Stockfish earned their way to this final 100 game match. The featured game's key middlegame decision, and its beautiful endgame play make it highly instructional. The opening was a French Defense, MacCutcheon, Janowski variation. The pop quiz in the middlegame position is likely to make even a most experienced player struggle some in determining the optimal path. Instead of counting pawns, let's see which pawns really count!

Underpromotion is usually to minimize processing power needed to calculate lines, I believe AlphaZero has done the same in a previous game with Stockfish
Haha the rook promotion made me laugh. Artificial consciousness *confirmed*
You explain it so well. Best Chess Channel on KZread. Heck! Depending on my mood Best Channel on KZread Fullstop. Thankyou
There is a great takeaway hidden in this game which is useful even outside chess. Most of our decisions are based on rules, experience and perceptions made out of those experience. Even stockfish looks like victim of best practices based decisions. AI like leela zero thinks like a fresh mind. Found many examples where leela broke this barrier created in our mind.

You're so right! I slavishly looked at the pawns and said "keep the light square bishop". Silly me.
easily one of the best games of this superfinal. thanks for covering it, jerry really appreciate the content
I think it's pretty safe to say that Leela's and AlphaZero's favorite chess player is Mikhail Tal 😂
Look at this clown in the corner!!
Yesss, I love AI chess commentary.
Bg6 was actually on my mind before you mentioned to think about it, however, I never would have thought of those beautiful pawn sacrifice follow-ups to ensure the white pawn stays on g6 afterwards. What a killer pawn, basically removing the king and a rook from play for the majority of the endgame!
Great vid Jerry. I always welcome your enthusiasm and careful, well-paced explanations.
unlike your other videos, i didnt feel the time passing as i watch this video. i think its the big enthusiasm you put in your vid. big thumbs up
Probably my favourite superfinal game, thanks for covering these games. Cheers.
Glad you are making Leela videos again. Very instructive, amazing game.
Glad to see you're putting out videos again, you were quiet for a little while. Hope it continues but if you don't have time I understand. just want to say again I love watching your videos because you explain things very well and I learn more from your videos than anywhere else.
Videos make the day blessed, appreciated man!
Thanks Jerry one of the most instructive games I've ever seen!
I remember watching this video when you posted it, and it took me a while to remember what to search to find it again (such an instructive game). I think bishop g6 is one of the most beautiful moves I've ever seen played. Just awesome.
Thanks for the vid! I think this is the best game so far in the superfinal!
Another great instructional video. Thanks Jerry
Besides the instructional value your enthusiasm is what made this video very enjoyable

Your videos are gold to me. Thank you.
One thing I like about your breakdown is that it is not too fast, considers some of the alternate play lines in just enough detail, and points out what appear to be clear breaks in traditional approaches taken by humans, the chess engines, and the AI. This and other videos by others, clearly seem to show the advantages of position and freedom of action over pure material gains, assuming you can capitalize on the momentum and not make a blunder. Please keep posting. Thank you.
I just watched this, you're quick as hell Jerry!

People who wonder why Leela underpromotes pawns sometimes, I think this is because the way Leela's neural network is trained. She gets "rewarded" when she wins a game, no matter how she did it or how long it takes. So, when Leela is in a winning position, she doesn't try to find the most efficient way to win - which sometimes gives birth to hilarious underpromotions!

I saw it and thought it was a decent move, but I only gave it any consideration because I had to look for bishop sacs. I never would have found it otherwise. Besides I would have lost that pawn in a few moves. There's no way I would have found those resources to hang on to it.
I much prefer Leela to Stockfish. Enjoy watching these -- thanks Jerry.
Hi Jerry, it's everyone.
That Bg6 and g4 moves seem like maneuvers that would make A0 proud.
@Life-Sky
5 жыл бұрын
Actually lc0 is stronger than A0. The newest leelachess is fighting stockfish 10 and antifish (an engine created from stockfish, that leela trained with) and alphazero struggled with s8-s9.
The main advantage of a rook underpromotion is there are fewer possible moves for it to calculate per ply--LC0 can go a little deeper for the same amount of time spent thinking. If it sees that a rook is a win, there's no need to spend any additional time checking that a queen is also a win (could be a stalemate lurking somewhere.)
When Leela shows how space advantage > material in the most amazingly creative but precise ways :)
I'm a little surprised that the French Defense is still a thing. I've seen so many games now where Alpha Zero and Leela Chess just sacrifice whatever they want in order to completely smother black.

Yeah but that requires a consistently superhuman level of accuracy that only engines possess. A lot of these positions are knifes' edge and the advantage you get could collapse by playing the wrong move. So as long as humans can't calculate with that depth, precision, and confidence, it'll remain popular.

These games, while instructive, do not necessarily have any bearing over human chess. Rather, they illuminate a weakness in conventional engines in playing games that arise from the French.

I know it sounds like "fawn pawn" but it's actually a heavy British accent saying "thorn pawn"...
I accidentally left stockfish analyzing move 20 for white over night. It worked it's way through 53 ply! The result being 20. Bg6 += (0.75) to 20. Bxc4 += (0.47). I don't know what computer was used during the match but it would have been greatly superior to my old dual processor and may have reached the same conclusion that Leela did.
I sure learned something !
Wow. Jaw dropping.
9:00 look at this clown in the corner 😂😂😂 thats so funny
Hi Jerry, can you go back to making Leela videos please. They are so instructional and I love to hear the excitement in your voice.
Pawn nail.... Wow.... Just wow. Beautiful game. With Alpha Zero and Leela I'm loving myself some A.I. chess right now!! Poor Stockfish lol.
9:01 Never gets old
That Bg6 move was a stunner.
Man I'm learning to be aggressive with all these Leela videos, I actually saw the Bg6 move. Although I had the direction of the black squared bishop wrong, I thought about going Bb2 to have the a3-f8 diagonal
I feel so proud that I came up with g6 in pop quiz yeeet
Lc0 41-move brilliancy
So perfect, it's like poetry and Jerry is the master of soliloquy lol
I like that the g6 pawn was right in the black king's grill!
This Leela player has such a deep understanding of chess!
I really want to see Leela vs AlphaZero!
That rare moment when you guessed Bg6! Yay!
Cool af
I wonder how Bobby Fisher would react watching these AI playing such beautiful chess
I feel like the underpromotion comes from the confidence of the lead, and the possibility of stalemating with a queen and king on board was learned by leela playing against herself, so deciding the lead is sufficient is really impressive
crazy game.
Actually according to my Stockfish version it was split on it's choice for white's move 20. It had Bxc4 += (0.39) or Bg6 += (0.37). I find there's a general bias toward AI chess software because it's more 'human like' than the purely machine calculators. That's why we always see AI wins and rarely an AI loss.
To be perfectly HONEST with you Jerry, I found bishop g6 straightaway but my idea was pretty much that was it. Take my bishop by messing up your pawn structure.
Best SuFI game ever!
Can you explain Black's move 7? Blocks in that eventual clown rook? Why would Black choose this over Castling, pushing the pawn, or moving the Clown? The pivotal Bishop move to g6 I thought of, but I had no understanding of why it might be a good move and couldn't follow it up, but I at least thought of it!
Just wow
It took a few moments but I also thought Bg6 would be good... if you gotta give up a piece may as well break down the opponents pawn defense and get a pawn of your own one step closer to his king while you're at it.
Don't know how i would get use of bishop g6, but it was the first move to get in mind. Nice =)
Rofl At that underpromotion. I love whenever Ai essentially taunt their opponents.
Amazing....how Lella see the value of it peace and pawn in the positon....and if u thin it's so obvious that it's all right given up 3 pawns when the the black rook willl just not contribute. Crazy game
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree: I think we're beginning see now how AlphaZero got so good with bishops and pawn structures.
Number 2!
Everybody is covering the decisives games, Jerry could select and comment the best 3 draws of this match for us!
I wonder if the rook promotion was to avoid any stalemates. Definitely shows what Leela had "in mind" if play was to continue. Probably didn't forsee any use out of diagonal movements so a rook was chosen. Maybe because all diagonals needed were covered by the dark squared bishop? Hmmm
