Edit* Common comments responses: All the moves shown in this video are made by Ayanokoji and Sakayanagi (y'all are passionate), chess is more about pattern recognition and memorization than intelligence, it's the last thing I say in the video but I say "Not a genius at chess" very specifically, I'm not judging the author, the episode was still amazing, yes it was a time scramble and you can't expect accurate moves even from geniuses, ratings vary depending on your daily mental condition even if you're generally rated higher, Sakayanagi and Ayanokoji take over from the mid game after the other two take like 45 minutes to make something like 16 moves, Sakayanagi had suspicions but didn't figure it out COMPLETELY on her own. Do NOT subscribe if you expect frequent anime related content. Glad you liked this tho ^.^
Bro do you even read ln or watch the show? If you think that real life geniuses are better than ayanokoji then name a real genius person that can fight know multiple martisl arts, obtain all human academic knowledge before turning 18 know how to play instrument can solve highschool level math problem at age below 9 and can speak multiple language
@@hyperbuilder yes thats why they are better than a real genius cuz they are the perfect human genius the author want them to be they arent meant to be realistic they are meant to be superhuman
Anime loves to have a chess scene to show off how smart the characters are. But the creators aren't seasoned chess players and they assume those watching aren't either. It's like when a movie includes scientific gibberish and impliedly requests the audience to suspend its disbelief and pretend it's accurate.
Lol I adore the light novels, but it's even worse there. I don't know chess that very well, but I know enough to know when I read that part that that's not how chess works.
@@blade7535 Rewatch the episode if you didn't notice, they were blitzing out moves basically without thinking, the time control was 60 minutes but they were playing bullet-like.
@@lebannen6056 Bro even in bullet games players like magnus and hikaru have over 90-95 accuracy.... No way they are missing such an easy mate in 3!! Magnus even plays fully drunk and beats 2600-2700 rated bullet players
I think it's worth mentioning that the LN only shows the first 1 or 2 moves, and specifically mentions a queen sacrifice - other then that, it's up to the reader's imagination. The anime kinda did those two dirty - they should have just used an actual match between two grandmasters instead of trying and failing to make a "genius" game
"They play stupidly like pigs" - An Vietnamese chess youtuber🗣🔥🔥🔥 Quick note: Before all of you jump me, you should watch the entire match before this moment. it's not just some blunders, it's FULL of blunders, mistakes and missed opportunity.
@@jonsnow2791 not because of that, but because in both manga and anime, both Ayanokiji and Sakayanagi are described as chess-gods with no mistake, part of their high intelligence. In that chess match, not only all four of them make bad and blunder moves. One of them (Suzune Horikita, black hair girl playing) even made ilegal move: bishop jumped over pawn. Clearly, they are not that good at chess.
@@Real777Lucky yes, they do play much better in the novel. BUT this is criticising on the anime, not novel nor manga. Animators don't even give a middle finger. They didn't even animate half of the match.
The saddest part is with the position a couple moves ago. Ayanokoji had a completely winning position and he made 2 huge blunders in a row that ended up giving Sakayanagi yhe completely winning position, but Sakayanagi couldn't gind the easy win and went for the fancy queen sac that loses the game on the spot if Ayanokoji finds the counter.
@@simonenoli4418 thats the fault of either the novelist or adaptation writers(i dont remember if the chess game has the same details in both) he canonically lost because the game was rigged by the chairman
If I remember right, it did say in the LN that Ayanokouji was ahead serveral times in the game and mr.chairman has to interfere a few times just to get Sakayanagi a winning chance, like make 2-3 questionable move in a row (which only abandon the oppotunity to improve, not to blunder if it make sense) That's how even before the Queen sac, Ayanokouji was way ahead in points of material. I guess the studio decided that they can't be in the GM's level so they just pick a random puzzle and plug it in.
Also Ayanokoji stated while training Horikita that if she could beat him while he is going easy then he can beat there opponent, and Ayanokoji clearly wasn't trying very much considering he didn't report his answer had been altered. So like usual he is down playing himself so Ayanokoji while going easy with a bad start is 1800. So it still isn't accurate.
if i was writing such a novel, i'd just steal some historic game with a really good twist. There's a ton of analysis' online on such games and it's not like illegal to copy the chess moves to your story lol
I think Sakayanagi is genuinly a 1600, and its not like she got any real chess training apart from just playing it with others. So, even that is impressive. But, I think Ayanokoji is just holding back and playing at her level, just like he does always.....
I can't speak for the anime, since they do a very questionable job at adapting the story, but in the novels Ayanokoji had to go all out to just barely beat her at the end. They basically recognized each other as equals in chess.
The Light Novel's author probably doesn't know much about chess, the intention, especially confirmed in Volume 0, is that these 2 (especially koji) are really good. In volume 0 Ayanokoji beat GMs as a child.
The most confusing thing here is, the author could just literally use 2 stockfish(s) battle eachother and choose a game with no draw result, and there we have "genius" game (stockfish is _)
you cannot just make 2 engines play as amateurs at the first half of the game, switch to GM mode after, and at the same time expect the position of countering queen sack with another queen sack
@@MiraS24 that's the neat part we can't tell how the game went cuz of writer's inability to write a gm level game that' why it would still be a 600 elo gameplay .
I see both sides to this but yes, you are correct about her being oblivious to certain moves that her rating is a bit lower than what is actually said but you have to remember that they did not start playing from the start so you can't really make an estimated guess, not too clearly because of the last few minutes of the game since other people were playing before them. Though Sakayanagi and how Ayanokoji were playing could make you guess how they think endgame, still not a clear way to guess their ratings but yeah other than that nice video. Loved someone making an analysis on it. My rating is around 1600 btw LOL.
Tbf consider that the match started with 2 people who have been playing for a couple weeks and they picked up over halfway through which if you start with a bad game you can't expect god tier moves immediately following it, because it starts at the beginning. Also keep in mind that one of them started later then the other genius meaning he started from a bad position and had to figure out a way to get out of that and come up with a winning strategy. I can understand your complaints or problems with how the game was going if the board state came to that if both were playing from the beginning but they weren't.
sure but even then, Sakayanagi's winning move was BxN which would force checkmate no matter what. even if you make the argument that Ayanokoji's moves were rigged and that him blundering checkmate with the QxR move and that doesn't show his skill is true, it shows that Sakayanagi isn't that good since she missed forced mate
@@calvincarson8301 To be fair, they never really said Sakayanagi was a top tier chess player, she probably overestimated herself, or just wanted to play against ayanakoji anyway
@@rats0155 Qxe4. If gxf3, Rg6+, Kh1, Qxf3#. If g3, nothing can stop the queen from going to g4 to h3 to g2. White can throw in a check if they want but it won't do anything. If white plays anything else, the most resistance being playing Rfe1. Black can play Be2, swing the rook over to g6, and mate is coming on g2 in some fashion. If white throws f3 in there, the queen will just shuffle to e3 then f2 before mating on g2. It isn't worth going over the variations but mate is still forced in relatively short order. The cleaner way to go is not to play Bxf3 but to leave the pin as is and play Rg6 to begin with. If g3, then Qxf3 and Qg2#. If Ne1, Bxg2. If Nxg2, Qxg2#. If basically anything else, the bishop moves back on any square on the long diagonal which forces Ng2, Qxg2#. So yeah, Ayanokoji was a piece up then blundered away to get to this position. Then Sakayanagi proceeds to ignore two different forced wins that are simpler to see and use the same basic idea that she's trying to use. Even worse, she does it in such a way that narrows the opponent's options so much that as long as the opponent knows enough to see the mating pattern, they're left with all of 2 moves to consider, one of them being Qg5 and the other being Qe8+ which results in black having a winning position (active Q and R vs B and a pair of inactive rooks) but not a forced win. So I don't really take serious issue with how the game was going before even if I do think the moves were a bit poor. If anything, the others who were playing before played better than the captains who both almost immediately blundered the game back and forth in obvious ways. When a "good" player joins, you don't expect god tier brilliancy moves right off the bat right after hopping into the middle of a game because there's been no setup. Rather, you'd expect good moves which improve the position and get working on a plan. Both of them had plans, absolutely garbage ones that threw away the game almost immediately. So this is the actual record upon him hopping in. Ayanokoji never centralizes his rooks, instead messing around with his knights which were in plenty fine position already. Sakayanagi opens the position which is fine but then blunders a piece in short order. Ayanokoji ends up a solid piece but instead of defending, he trades off his most active piece and lands himself in this position where he's thrown the game. Sakayanagi overlooks two forced mates and throws the win. Ayanokoji finds a rather pretty rebuttal, albeit one that he's almost forced to find by the position offering so few candidate options. So I'd say that they were both putting out one unmitigated disaster after another. The actual play is probably about 800-900 which commonly has the traits of "has some good ideas but makes a lot of errors and has a tendency to tunnel vision which results in overlooking basic principles". Maybe even a little less given the leadup to it. I'd say the other students played better than they did and not by a small margin. At least they didn't blunder ever other move.
the match was changed in the anime from the ln i think cause in the ln the ln the opening was e4 and e5 ... so i think in anime version they just animated a real match from some website
Ayanokoji and Sakayanagi are not really meant to be even close to Magnus. All that they are are prodigies, not necessarily enough to beat Magnus. The WR used chess to teach/scale their intelligence and thinking abilities, but not to make them reach Magnus level of skill in CHESS. Only improve their abilities outside chess, using chess. It doesn't mean Ayanokoji is gonna be really high GM level or something. Magnus would absolutely destroy Ayanokoji even with narrative/statements.
That is not correct Ayanokoji in the LN beat a super computer funded by the government in a chess match this same computer can think 20,000,000 times in a single second that would mean Ayanokoji's actual rating would be over 3600 but some people can't write chess games properly so this was just a statement so we have to base how good Ayanokoji is at chess off that
@@aizenuchiha4998 , that's just ridiculous given what stockfish is lol... Author apparently doesn't know anything bout chess bots or he straight up wanted to create fantasy mc from some isekai
Remember, they took over part way through. These 2 ratings cannot be judged after taking over the game of 2 ametures. They adjusted to what they were dealt as the positionings were likely not their ideal.
If I'm not mistaken, the vast majority of this match was played by other students. They could only send suggestions to them for a price and Ayakokoji chimed in much later than his opponent did which was a tad odd. In hindsight he was probably aware of the possibility that the match was rigged. I don't think he was ever really playing a game against class A, but rather setting a lure to the admins to see if all this was all futile. He immediately caught it and just quit then and there as there was no hope of any of this working if he wasn't in control, plus he had already achieved his true objective. This makes sense because Ayanokoji does often sacrifice one objective to secretly achieve another which almost nobody else would dare do or suspect anyone of doing (pawn sacrifice variant IRL?). Also, Sakayanagi maybe was a bit of a disappointment if you were expecting her to have closed the gap between them more, however it's fine. I'd expect nothing less from her realistically speaking. She got further that I would have.
Also you have to understand that they weren’t playing chess at the start of the match so they both needed to make improvements and adapt to the game to save themselves. Also it was a 60min game and they got involved around the 30min mark.
Nothing really matters that much cindering the facts both got same meterial left for themselves it's like 2 amature was playing Frist then 1 master and 1 GM started playing aginst each which not a big deal
I'm barely 700 but I was screaming when I saw this, If I (after more than 3 minutes tbh) understood that Qg5 was the best move because of the pawn there's no way that a chess genius shouldn't see it
You probably found this because you expected a brillant move. There is no way a 700 rated player find this move in a match (unless you're not 700 elo).
@@Lecultedumicro-ondes people usually says that I'm good at founding great moves but I'm very slow, so most of the games I'm rushing because I'm short on time

This was anime direction invention. The game was never showed in the novel (original). Its just explained later that was a simple pawn move that decided the match (which was altered by the staff). They sit few days later and he shows her what was the real move he wanted to do.
Great analysis! The match was changed in the anime from the "original story". Some people said it was better match the original one, you should do a analysis of that one too
The guy in the end said Ayanokoji would have won. When sakajanagi played her queen sac, Ayano had around 1 minute left. So I believe Ayanos rating must be pretty high to find that move in a time to makeit still winnable
He defeated a super computer or stockfish if you prefer but it wasn’t shown in the anime but it was stated in the novel and there’s a document based on that feat or the statement
@@ashithink the only thing he did was FINDING that move before stockfish, something that happens IRL sometimes when GMs play. He never defeated stockfish and that document is bs.
@@gamershub992 Also the skill level of Sakayanagi is very inconsistent. The guys who were behind making this game clearly didn't know anything about chess. Like Sakayanagi was flabbergasted when Ayanokoji took a piece which resulted in a check, but was able to find a way to sacrifice her queen. When her queen was taken, she said that no ordinary person could achieve that move, although 99% of the population would play that move. In other words, stop overrating COTE!
Underrated youtuber, chess player. While watching this video as an Not reall good chess-player, ive still understand much thanks to you showing us what they did right, wrong. Probs😮💨
@@shaun2686 I dont know what are you Talking about Bxf3 is top engine move that makes white lose no matter what and Qxf3 is making white win this game
YES! you mean the Bishop getting the Horse, i recreated the game as well and seems no matter how White loses even getting check on the King, Black Queen still moves on a winning position, Genious on you and not on the supposed lab genious Sakayanagi supposed to be LOL.
@Jei3am Also, even if the move was the right choice, the game had almost 2min or less showing Horikita with more pieces in points, just to make then Sakayanagi a check mate.
i read the ln basically, there was only one defensive resource in the situation, and kiyo entered that into the computer, but tsukishiro and his several teams of cronies calculated tirelessly to find a move that looked like it wasn't immediately losing but had presumably even longer follow-up before the eventual loss the anime, imo, had a very hard time with figuring out how to show this off especially with the game that was already planned out(?), but i only watch the dub... so idk yet
@technoeye6142 they don't have to necessarily be better than engines, alice is merely a natural-born genius, and a sort of chess prodigy by portrayal; something i am intimately familiar with; one would expect her to be 2300-2400 fide, if not a little higher although, one could suppose kiyo would be quite a bit stronger still. I believe it was once mentioned that kiyo surpassed all the masters that came to challenge him, so perhaps it has implications about kiyo in relation to something or other
I rlly liked the video and i agree with what you say, but it is also worth to keep in mind, specially after the last episode came out, that Ayanakoji never rlly tried, he's always at 70-80% of his true ability or even less, so in my opinion it would be such an Ayanokoji move to just play at Sakayanagi's level but slightly higher to unsure a win without standing out or smth like that. Plus, idk much about chess, but if Ayanakoji was higher than 2000 rating all the way through the whole match i would find it hard that he wouldnt just be absolutely destroying her and not even letting her be in the position she was.
Ayanokoji: "No one can beat when I am being serious". Meanwhile Bobby, Mikhail, Magnus, Hikaru, Garry, Alireza, Gukesh, Nepo, Prag, Raport, Boris Spassky, Hans Nieman, and even Levy: "R u serious bruv."
2 things, 1. 2 amateurs were playing first for a while, and 2. in the ln I believe that they were taking like 5 seconds at most in between turns, they were essentially playing blitz against each other during their part and then ayanokoji got screwed over by the dude
in the light novels, the chess match is vaguely describe, thats why im surprise that they show it on the anime because im pretty sure that it'll be analyze by the professionals to see their real level.. they probably just find this play on some chess match in some way, and patch it on the anime..
Actually in Light Novel the chess game is not shown except the opening moves so they have to create a chess game all by themselves. I don't think they had the budget to bring a professional chess player just to create a 5 min scene so they did what they knew ig
The anime butchered the chess game. It was supposed to be two GM against each other and against several operators and a supercomputer at the same time.
When I look at their starting position I was just screaming take the queen its free no traps and not protected. It is just me or Am I just missing something here? 0:07
Great video, Everyone saying that he is 3000+ rated when he most likely isn't trained for that level is crazy. Pretty accurate elo for a person who is a literal genius and hasn't played chess for a long time or haven't prepared for the high level.
Remembering that in the LN it took 20 GM + Supercomputers to hinder Ayanokoji moves so he can't come back with a win con, let that sink in... The anime did them so dirty, they were supposed to have like 2800 Elo for Sakayanagi and 3000 Elo (difficult to estimate) for Ayanokoji, but instead we got a 1400-1500 Elo match if we're generous
That makes no sense. Im no where near gm level, only 2100, but good god man if I could replace even a single move from a stockfish game, i could make it lose almost instantly.
But that's not what Tsukishiro did. The LN explained that the move he changed to wasn't the worst move or anything like that, it was a reasonable move that opened up the opportunity for Sakayanagi tocheckmate
@@leobiju3787 It was never said that it is 20 grandmasters lol. The original statement is "chess professionals" which is a general term for those who has high ratings+has chess as their number one career.
you should read the light novel. It's the actual source material of the anime, and only the second year of the manga is actually good. The ligh novel is amazing@@Rane501
Bruh…it’s both amusing and traumatizing seeing weebs defending a 500 elo player, also stockfish currently has 16 depth levels and your main character probably beat stockfish 1 which is about 850 elo
Exactly relatable!😄 animator Don't know about chess In case of COTE - BEGINNER LEVEL Code geas - the first time human playing chess.

Your comment is so cringe ong. Like tf you mean “animator”? There are 1000s of people working over the anime my guy, this just goes to show that you have no knowledge of anime or be it any show production at all. Also it’s actually hilarious people saying “oH iM bEttEr tHAn AyANoKoji” like what? They’re just drawings my guy, NO ONE CARES
I’m at 1900 level but honestly I’ve seen 1800-2000 rated players to do much worse stuff I had a FM just blunder a knight move 12 against me and resigned I think the last position is a brilliant puzzle find it’s also cool to see that Qd8+ also wins cause you could go to g5 after and threatening the same thing but great video though
I think that the author of the video is overestimating his own chess skills. As you say I doubt that even in a Classical game an FM would easily play that Qg4 instead of taking the queen.
@@danieldestinocrafteroyt4605 no one above 800 would take the queen in a classical game its an obvious forced mate in 3 and finding Qg4 is not as Hard because there is no other way to reasonable prevent the checkmate in on g2
As a 1400, I could probably win that position more times than not against a 5000000 rated supercomputer playing literal perfect moves. There's just not much black can do in an endgame down a rook
@@sanhakim1335I believe a 1400 shouldn’t boast all that considering your low ass elo. Also that position is clearly winnable even with a rook down, especially if you’re talking about a 50000 rated computer. If 2 equals were to play, then white wins easy (unless blunder). But you vs supercomputer is just bullshit. The computer clears
@@Watashi-Wa-Kat-Desu You're dumb on 3 levels. Level 1. I wasn't boasting about my elo, I was saying that even with my middling elo, it's unlikely to lose this position as white unless white blunders massively. Your reading comprehension is horrid. Level 2. I acknowledged that I probably wouldn't win all games against a supercomputer. I never said this position was unwinnable, I said I would win it more times than not. Again, your reading comprehension is horrid. Level 3. This position is massively losing as black, and there's not much anyone or anything can do as black vs a lower intermediate level player who even has a general idea of how to close out an endgame up a rook. No matter how good anything is, there's just a set limit on the number of possible moves that can be played in this position, and all of them are losing unless white blunders. For example, I can 100% draw every single game of tic-tac-toe against an omniscient god. There's just nothing within the rules of the game that lets god beat me in tic-tac-toe because no matter how smart they are, there's no winning moves. Your logical reasoning is horrid.
There is another context to the game too, that most of the early game was played by the Ayano and Sakayanagi's classmates whom they taught before. It wasnt played by them from the start. They had to play with the positions their students had left in the game. So, there's that variable in the equation too. But still, i am no expert and dont know how much do positions change a person's play in a game.😅
Didnt 2 other people play out the game before they took over??? Then from that position the captains handled the rest? It would be possible to believe they are higher but played with the hand they were dealt
Sakayanagi was completely winning but made a blunder at the end. The queen sacrifice near the end that shocked everyone was actually a move that made her from completely winning to completely losing assuming ayano found the queen sacrifice
The moves weren't shown in the light novel. It was just stated as a very intense chess game where when ayanokoji was ahead, the guy had to change his moves into bad ones. It's the animation studio who had to show the match because it was filled mostly of inner monologue, so they tried to improvise i guess
It's so funny to me how Horikita and Hashimoto made less Blunders than Ayano and Arisu What they should have done is have some randos play, then have Stockfish vs a weaker bot play
(i'm new to chess here, so don't judge if if i'm wrong) at 0:24 can't sakayanagi move bishop f3? the pawn can't take back cuz it's pinned and its mate in 1
@@JJ-gb5j Оn my channel I also uploaded a video about this chess game, where I analyzed more than 23 of its moves. The bad news is that the video is in Russian
You forgot that the openings and the first part of the middle game was being played by horkita and hashimoto so of course it would look like some 1600 are playing. Cause they provided thebopening position. If they both played it from the start i think the difference could have been noticed.
Do u play chess ? Idk why but u don't seem like u have played much. It doesn't matter whether the opening was played by them, the move in question was not high level and that move was played by them .
in fact, the match was played between Masayoshi Hashimoto and Suzune Horikita, but Ayanokoji (Horikita's helper in the match) and Sakayanagi (Hashimoto's helper in the match) were the captains for the "final test"
This game was a shitshow. im not watching your analisys but im glad there is one outlet to vent. Ayanokoji opened with a fking Nimzolarser attack that basically sacks the center control to play for counter then at move 3 decides to go e3 and i was like "wtf is this" then it jumped to several moves later and its shown the white bishop being in Bb5 which is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve with a Nimzolarsen opening where you play 3. e3 (you literally are closing the door on that bishop until past midgame. then towards the end Ajanokoji does 2 stupid moves in a row and hands a +5!!!!! advantage to Sakajanagi the BLUNDERS the fk out with QxNf3?? like are we supposed to think these people are genious? there are SO MANY Fisher games that they could have pulled out from any database that would fit the narrative but they HAD to make this mess of a game The move change was irrelevant tbh, yes it handed the victory to sakajanagi but honestly if they she didnt blunder she'd be winning ANYWAYS. crazy
subpar response coming from such a chess fanatic, makes me think youre just saying this for your ego/chess sake and you havent really done your homework lol. youll have to understand that it wasnt ayanokoji who opened with the Nimzolaser attack, it was horikita, the girl who was set to fight another student from another class, ayanokoji and Sakayanagi were set as leaders to tap in if the students they selected to fight were having trouble, thats why its their match, ayanokoji and Sakayanagi only played some mid-end game and even then he didnt go all out, but besides how the story is played out, you also have to realize that this is all taken from a light-novel, which this exact scene was written in 2018, I'm not sure about you but i dont think that this writer is on level with Magnus Carlsen to be able to write a chess game of such level. he would have to use stockfish or something but that also wouldnt work well due to writings sake. the chess game they actually played didnt really matter for it to deliver the message the writer wanted to deliver. so to analyze this chess match from a hardcore chess perspective then youre missing the point. TL;DR you missed the point blud and your response basically means nothing and is subpar to what it meant in the actual anime. and you got your information wrong ;)
@@jj3472 You absolutely make no sense whatsoever Horikita explicity tells us she was coached by Ajanokoji. do you think for a second that she can forget a chess opening 3 moves in? THREE. MOVES. IN? Nimzo larsen attack is 1. b3 2. Bb2 3. Nf3 4. d3 (depends on variations, d3 being the classical one that i suppose Ayanokoji taught her) NOWHERE in any variation is e3 a move. Horikita shouldnt even consider that! Why? because e3 walls the other bishop in, forever and prevents you from castling. they RECOGNIZE THAT midgame and INSTEAD of fixing the animation (fair enough) they presented us with another board state a few seconds after (horikita and the guy are still in control) in which the bishop that was supposedly buried in the wall pawn (that you can clearly see!) is in b5 which is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve! not unless the other guy turns around for a second and Horikita fking cheats! and yes i know that the author isnt magnus carlsen or bobby fisher or Mikail Tal or fking GOD of Chess. but DATABASES EXIST!!! you can literally PULL OUT A FAMOUS GAME and TRACE THE MOVES!! you DONT EVEN NEED to pull out shit from thin air!! and more to that. before Sakajanagi bluders her queen like a 1500elo shmuck who thinks they good cause they saw a mate in 2 that DOESNT WORK Ajanokoji that WAS IN CHARGE AT THE TIME. BLUNDERS by playing QxR!!! man just go to an analisys board and see that with optimal play from sakajanagi after QxR?? Ajanokoji is DEAD LOST!! QxR? BxNf3! g3 Qh3 Qe8+ Kh7 Qe4 BxQ f3 [...] and Sakajanagi has a Q for a R with an attack still mounting. She's winning completely. but she Blunders and plays QxNf3?? handing the advantage to Ajanokoji with Qg5!! to get the advantage. mind me.

@@Rane501 i wasnt trying to be mean btw, i really enjoyed YOUR video but i feel like some things should be clarified immediately. i personally really like classroom of the elite, having read the entirety of the light novel series, the manga and the anime adaptation. and as a chess fan i think respect should be paid where respect is due and the creativity and writing of this series i havent seen anywhere else. thats why i think it should be generally defended due to how hard it is to display a genius and his problem solving skills and methods while not being a genius yourself while also trying to make a series that instills dramatic, heart racing and tragic perception within someone. im talking about this more than about chess but i view this chess match as a very important part for the writer and the reader. some chess enjoyer would obviously do a lot to find the chess match of someone who is apparently "smarter" than Magnus Carlsen only to be met by the sad reality that the chess game wasnt allat lmao. in the writing perspective, the chess didnt matter as much as the message being delivered through writing. and in a chess perspective the idea of the writing being displayed to a chess audience should be more important and studied from a subjective and thorough way. EDIT: i forgot to mention my first response was meant to the guy who made the comment we are replying to rn btw
Sakayanagi actually asked ayano why did he blunder that obvious move, and then that guy interfered. I really thought they would mess the chess part but they did it great.
hey, im sorry if you are offended from this. Just let it be bro, the author is trying the best for this story. Anyway it should also be common for supposedly genius character to play around with her words, especially in this context where they are not close buddy who'd love to express all their "clever" thought to oposition. Have you ever heard of sarcasm or rhetoric question 🙏
I mean, in fiction, you have character like Shiro beating a program that explored two hundred million possibilities a second. She won twenty times in a row, alternating who moved first just to demonstrate the imperfection of the program.
Ye and also the author says he can see 100 moves into the future, news flash bro its all fake. It's fiction, ayanokoji is seen as perfect in his own verse but when u include real life and other verses u have to take into consideration the level at which both are competing at. The best chess bot was probably 2000 elo or something at that time(remeber chess bots have evolved) cuz at one point the most advanced chess but was1200 then when it got beat they created better ones then even better then even better
In the anime (idk bout the manga) Ananokoji and Sakayanagi weren't playing most of the game, they just took the end of the game which is why it's depicted as "genius" because they took the position left to them by average or above average players and had to mold it into a winning game
A lot of things that authors don't understand either, is that ayanokoji would never be able to beat magnus at chess even if he was somehow able to calculate best moves somewhat accurately, because people like magnus have memorized certain lines 50 moves down the board on certain openings, even if he existed in real life. He lacks the memorization and prearrangement that magnus knows to stand a chance, and regardless how many best moves ayanokoji would make, if magnus is in an advantageous position because he dominated in the opening, he can still play the top 5 best moves each turn and he would slam ayanokoji on his neck
In the LN they don't show the game this is only in the anime, but at least for people bellow that ratting it's still a really interesting position, consider chess not being a popular game in Japan if they made a high level game literally nobody would be able to understand it
Idk much about you or your chess rating but giving Sakayanagi 1400 shows me that there is 3 options: 1. You don't know what you are talking about 2. You play chess online, but never played a classical game or 3. You just forgot to consider the low time... I mean I could see a GM in time trouble play Qxf3 in that position, thinking it's game over for the opponent. While Bxf3 is clearly winning, Qxf3 looks like a game ending move and simply overlooking Qg5 in low time could have easily happened to a GM. A 1400 would never even consider Qxf3 as a possibility and it already takes a lot of understanding to play that move. On the other hand Ayanokoji simply blundered Bxf3 with his whole Nxe7+ and Qxe7 and you could say that Qg5 is a lucky resource he had. Everything considered it is the only defensive moves and spotting moves like that when you are forced to see them is often easier. You could basically say that Sakayanagi played at a higher or equal level to Ayanokoji, but both of them really aren't anywhere near 2000. You are giving way too much credit for the Qg5 move
I could be wrong, but I believe the author wasn't trying to convey some kind of high-level game play. I believe he was using some kind of fore shadowing for the story. Like the Mate-to-Mate threat you explained could be some kind of event that happens in the future. The author might have looked up some kind of chess strategies and found this one. Again, I could be wrong. Edit: I also wanted to add that even in high level chess, cheating is common. So, the author could be alluding to the effects of cheating to win.
Ayanokoji is supposed to have beaten a Super computer and every Chess Grandmaster at age 11 lol. In defense of the anime tho I don't think the Light Novel goes particularly in depth in the moves of Chess. Just like "The Movie that Sakyanagi made was amazing" 1 last thing to consider is they are also picking up where 2 chess Novices started from not a fresh start
I would say that Ayanokoji has higher elo at chess since he has beaten every master and a supercomputer at chess. Kasparov beat deep blue in 1997 if l recall correctly and Ayanokoji beat the supercomputer in the 2000s l would assume. I would say that Ayanokoji just toyed with Sagayanagi and wanted to see what she is capable of. Ayanokojis elo would be maybe 2600+ idk really but just my thoughts about the matter. What do you people think? Let me know if l got something wrong here.
Maybe, and I'm putting a big IF, Sakayanagi thought Ayanokouji didn't have the time to calculate so Horikita moved herself (?) Idk. Either way thanks for the explanation!
Edit* Common comments responses: All the moves shown in this video are made by Ayanokoji and Sakayanagi (y'all are passionate), chess is more about pattern recognition and memorization than intelligence, it's the last thing I say in the video but I say "Not a genius at chess" very specifically, I'm not judging the author, the episode was still amazing, yes it was a time scramble and you can't expect accurate moves even from geniuses, ratings vary depending on your daily mental condition even if you're generally rated higher, Sakayanagi and Ayanokoji take over from the mid game after the other two take like 45 minutes to make something like 16 moves, Sakayanagi had suspicions but didn't figure it out COMPLETELY on her own.

Anime loves to have a chess scene to show off how smart the characters are. But the creators aren't seasoned chess players and they assume those watching aren't either.

I think it's worth mentioning that the LN only shows the first 1 or 2 moves, and specifically mentions a queen sacrifice - other then that, it's up to the reader's imagination. The anime kinda did those two dirty - they should have just used an actual match between two grandmasters instead of trying and failing to make a "genius" game
This.
There are dozens of well known games with queen sacrifice above 2500+ elo, or just some of Nezhmedinov would be cool.
Yeah watching these 2 play was pretty upsetting when theres so many brilliant games they could easily have allowed to influence the game

the game in the anime involves a really bad animation error, so i'm not surprised that it's not featured anywhere 😭😭
Samr
If I remember right, it did say in the LN that Ayanokouji was ahead serveral times in the game and mr.chairman has to interfere a few times just to get Sakayanagi a winning chance, like make 2-3 questionable move in a row (which only abandon the oppotunity to improve, not to blunder if it make sense)
That's how even before the Queen sac, Ayanokouji was way ahead in points of material.
I guess the studio decided that they can't be in the GM's level so they just pick a random puzzle and plug it in.
I don't remember them saying that, I think the only confirmed intervention was the one at the end.
Also Ayanokoji stated while training Horikita that if she could beat him while he is going easy then he can beat there opponent, and Ayanokoji clearly wasn't trying very much considering he didn't report his answer had been altered. So like usual he is down playing himself so Ayanokoji while going easy with a bad start is 1800. So it still isn't accurate.
Ayano found it in less than a minute
Yup I agree like 4 seconds

I think Sakayanagi is genuinly a 1600, and its not like she got any real chess training apart from just playing it with others. So, even that is impressive. But, I think Ayanokoji is just holding back and playing at her level, just like he does always.....
Agreed
Nope, in the very episode she said she started learning chess after looking ayanakoji
No she’s a gm she literally been playing since she was 4
The anime did them dirty
I can't speak for the anime, since they do a very questionable job at adapting the story, but in the novels Ayanokoji had to go all out to just barely beat her at the end. They basically recognized each other as equals in chess.
She did realize it was a weird move thats why they had a rematch to continue from where it was left and Ayanakoji beat her with that amazing move

I see both sides to this but yes, you are correct about her being oblivious to certain moves that her rating is a bit lower than what is actually said but you have to remember that they did not start playing from the start so you can't really make an estimated guess, not too clearly because of the last few minutes of the game since other people were playing before them. Though Sakayanagi and how Ayanokoji were playing could make you guess how they think endgame, still not a clear way to guess their ratings but yeah other than that nice video. Loved someone making an analysis on it. My rating is around 1600 btw LOL.
Tbf consider that the match started with 2 people who have been playing for a couple weeks and they picked up over halfway through which if you start with a bad game you can't expect god tier moves immediately following it, because it starts at the beginning. Also keep in mind that one of them started later then the other genius meaning he started from a bad position and had to figure out a way to get out of that and come up with a winning strategy.
I can understand your complaints or problems with how the game was going if the board state came to that if both were playing from the beginning but they weren't.
sure but even then, Sakayanagi's winning move was BxN which would force checkmate no matter what. even if you make the argument that Ayanokoji's moves were rigged and that him blundering checkmate with the QxR move and that doesn't show his skill is true, it shows that Sakayanagi isn't that good since she missed forced mate
@@calvincarson8301I guess you can sac the Queen on e4 to then play f3 After Bxe4 but yes white can resign after Bxf3
@@rats0155 after BxNf3, even if white plays Qe4, black just plays Qxg2#
@@calvincarson8301 To be fair, they never really said Sakayanagi was a top tier chess player, she probably overestimated herself, or just wanted to play against ayanakoji anyway
@@rats0155 Qxe4. If gxf3, Rg6+, Kh1, Qxf3#. If g3, nothing can stop the queen from going to g4 to h3 to g2. White can throw in a check if they want but it won't do anything. If white plays anything else, the most resistance being playing Rfe1. Black can play Be2, swing the rook over to g6, and mate is coming on g2 in some fashion. If white throws f3 in there, the queen will just shuffle to e3 then f2 before mating on g2. It isn't worth going over the variations but mate is still forced in relatively short order.
The cleaner way to go is not to play Bxf3 but to leave the pin as is and play Rg6 to begin with. If g3, then Qxf3 and Qg2#. If Ne1, Bxg2. If Nxg2, Qxg2#. If basically anything else, the bishop moves back on any square on the long diagonal which forces Ng2, Qxg2#.
So yeah, Ayanokoji was a piece up then blundered away to get to this position. Then Sakayanagi proceeds to ignore two different forced wins that are simpler to see and use the same basic idea that she's trying to use. Even worse, she does it in such a way that narrows the opponent's options so much that as long as the opponent knows enough to see the mating pattern, they're left with all of 2 moves to consider, one of them being Qg5 and the other being Qe8+ which results in black having a winning position (active Q and R vs B and a pair of inactive rooks) but not a forced win. So I don't really take serious issue with how the game was going before even if I do think the moves were a bit poor. If anything, the others who were playing before played better than the captains who both almost immediately blundered the game back and forth in obvious ways. When a "good" player joins, you don't expect god tier brilliancy moves right off the bat right after hopping into the middle of a game because there's been no setup. Rather, you'd expect good moves which improve the position and get working on a plan. Both of them had plans, absolutely garbage ones that threw away the game almost immediately.
So this is the actual record upon him hopping in. Ayanokoji never centralizes his rooks, instead messing around with his knights which were in plenty fine position already. Sakayanagi opens the position which is fine but then blunders a piece in short order. Ayanokoji ends up a solid piece but instead of defending, he trades off his most active piece and lands himself in this position where he's thrown the game. Sakayanagi overlooks two forced mates and throws the win. Ayanokoji finds a rather pretty rebuttal, albeit one that he's almost forced to find by the position offering so few candidate options. So I'd say that they were both putting out one unmitigated disaster after another. The actual play is probably about 800-900 which commonly has the traits of "has some good ideas but makes a lot of errors and has a tendency to tunnel vision which results in overlooking basic principles". Maybe even a little less given the leadup to it. I'd say the other students played better than they did and not by a small margin. At least they didn't blunder ever other move.
I mean in code geass they sacrificed king.

I found it interesting this most recent video of yours became the most viewed in your channel.
If I'm not mistaken, the vast majority of this match was played by other students. They could only send suggestions to them for a price and Ayakokoji chimed in much later than his opponent did which was a tad odd. In hindsight he was probably aware of the possibility that the match was rigged.
I don't think he was ever really playing a game against class A, but rather setting a lure to the admins to see if all this was all futile.
He immediately caught it and just quit then and there as there was no hope of any of this working if he wasn't in control, plus he had already achieved his true objective.
This makes sense because Ayanokoji does often sacrifice one objective to secretly achieve another which almost nobody else would dare do or suspect anyone of doing (pawn sacrifice variant IRL?).
Also, Sakayanagi maybe was a bit of a disappointment if you were expecting her to have closed the gap between them more, however it's fine. I'd expect nothing less from her realistically speaking. She got further that I would have.
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing because I was curious myself
Also you have to understand that they weren’t playing chess at the start of the match so they both needed to make improvements and adapt to the game to save themselves. Also it was a 60min game and they got involved around the 30min mark.

how? if Bxf3 then White takes Queen and h3 after that and his fine and black is losing.
@@shaun2686 I dont know what are you Talking about Bxf3 is top engine move that makes white lose no matter what and Qxf3 is making white win this game
YES! you mean the Bishop getting the Horse, i recreated the game as well and seems no matter how White loses even getting check on the King, Black Queen still moves on a winning position, Genious on you and not on the supposed lab genious Sakayanagi supposed to be LOL.
@Jei3am Also, even if the move was the right choice, the game had almost 2min or less showing Horikita with more pieces in points, just to make then Sakayanagi a check mate.
i read the ln
basically, there was only one defensive resource in the situation, and kiyo entered that into the computer, but tsukishiro and his several teams of cronies calculated tirelessly to find a move that looked like it wasn't immediately losing but had presumably even longer follow-up before the eventual loss
the anime, imo, had a very hard time with figuring out how to show this off especially with the game that was already planned out(?), but i only watch the dub... so idk yet
@technoeye6142 they don't have to necessarily be better than engines, alice is merely a natural-born genius, and a sort of chess prodigy by portrayal; something i am intimately familiar with; one would expect her to be 2300-2400 fide, if not a little higher
although, one could suppose kiyo would be quite a bit stronger still. I believe it was once mentioned that kiyo surpassed all the masters that came to challenge him, so perhaps it has implications about kiyo in relation to something or other
i definitely agree with him (I'm 1300 elo rated player in irl)
I rlly liked the video and i agree with what you say, but it is also worth to keep in mind, specially after the last episode came out, that Ayanakoji never rlly tried, he's always at 70-80% of his true ability or even less, so in my opinion it would be such an Ayanokoji move to just play at Sakayanagi's level but slightly higher to unsure a win without standing out or smth like that. Plus, idk much about chess, but if Ayanakoji was higher than 2000 rating all the way through the whole match i would find it hard that he wouldnt just be absolutely destroying her and not even letting her be in the position she was.
Qxg5 sure its good but black should have taken the f3 knight with the c6 bishop and then is completely losing for white.
Haven't thought about it, but if true,, Sakayanagi was done dirty with that move frrr
Pawn to G3 will prevent the mate
Qh3 would be lethal
Qh3 and white has nothing to defend@@near6291
No actually,
Qe8 Ayano
Kh7 sakayanagi
g3 Ayano
Qh3 sakayanagi
Qe4 Ayano
Bxe4 sakayanagi
f3 Ayano
And the game goes
Ayanokoji: "No one can beat when I am being serious".
Meanwhile Bobby, Mikhail, Magnus, Hikaru, Garry, Alireza, Gukesh, Nepo, Prag, Raport, Boris Spassky, Hans Nieman, and even Levy: "R u serious bruv."
The question is what will ayanokoji do if instead of Qf3, Sakayanagy plays Bf3, it is a completely lost position for white.
white has an extra rook so that wouldn't matter. Also the position is completely winning for white after g3.

@@Abirup-z5q you have to sacrifice the queen to avoid checkmate, try using Stockfish in this position.

in the light novels, the chess match is vaguely describe, thats why im surprise that they show it on the anime because im pretty sure that it'll be analyze by the professionals to see their real level.. they probably just find this play on some chess match in some way, and patch it on the anime..
Actually in Light Novel the chess game is not shown except the opening moves so they have to create a chess game all by themselves. I don't think they had the budget to bring a professional chess player just to create a 5 min scene so they did what they knew ig

Wrong. Horikita and Hashimoto were playing in the first part of the match, Ayanokoji and Arisu only played the second part.
Glad someone said this, I have seen so many people claiming her to be 2400 or at least an im level
The anime butchered the chess game. It was supposed to be two GM against each other and against several operators and a supercomputer at the same time.

The game isn't about taking pieces, but finding checkmate, but I think taking the queen would've been better here.
Great video, Everyone saying that he is 3000+ rated when he most likely isn't trained for that level is crazy. Pretty accurate elo for a person who is a literal genius and hasn't played chess for a long time or haven't prepared for the high level.
Remembering that in the LN it took 20 GM + Supercomputers to hinder Ayanokoji moves so he can't come back with a win con, let that sink in...
The anime did them so dirty, they were supposed to have like 2800 Elo for Sakayanagi and 3000 Elo (difficult to estimate) for Ayanokoji, but instead we got a 1400-1500 Elo match if we're generous
That makes no sense. Im no where near gm level, only 2100, but good god man if I could replace even a single move from a stockfish game, i could make it lose almost instantly.
But that's not what Tsukishiro did. The LN explained that the move he changed to wasn't the worst move or anything like that, it was a reasonable move that opened up the opportunity for Sakayanagi tocheckmate
That's an over exaggeration

Really enjoyed the whole video bro.🎉
Your comment is so cringe ong. Like tf you mean “animator”? There are 1000s of people working over the anime my guy, this just goes to show that you have no knowledge of anime or be it any show production at all. Also it’s actually hilarious people saying “oH iM bEttEr tHAn AyANoKoji” like what? They’re just drawings my guy, NO ONE CARES
I’m at 1900 level but honestly I’ve seen 1800-2000 rated players to do much worse stuff I had a FM just blunder a knight move 12 against me and resigned I think the last position is a brilliant puzzle find it’s also cool to see that Qd8+ also wins cause you could go to g5 after and threatening the same thing but great video though
I think that the author of the video is overestimating his own chess skills. As you say I doubt that even in a Classical game an FM would easily play that Qg4 instead of taking the queen.
@@danieldestinocrafteroyt4605 no one above 800 would take the queen in a classical game its an obvious forced mate in 3 and finding Qg4 is not as Hard because there is no other way to reasonable prevent the checkmate in on g2
3:49 there is no players rated 3000 in the classical chess match
As a 1400, I could probably win that position more times than not against a 5000000 rated supercomputer playing literal perfect moves. There's just not much black can do in an endgame down a rook
@@sanhakim1335I believe a 1400 shouldn’t boast all that considering your low ass elo. Also that position is clearly winnable even with a rook down, especially if you’re talking about a 50000 rated computer. If 2 equals were to play, then white wins easy (unless blunder). But you vs supercomputer is just bullshit. The computer clears
@@Watashi-Wa-Kat-Desu You're dumb on 3 levels.
Level 1. I wasn't boasting about my elo, I was saying that even with my middling elo, it's unlikely to lose this position as white unless white blunders massively. Your reading comprehension is horrid.
Level 2. I acknowledged that I probably wouldn't win all games against a supercomputer. I never said this position was unwinnable, I said I would win it more times than not. Again, your reading comprehension is horrid.
Level 3. This position is massively losing as black, and there's not much anyone or anything can do as black vs a lower intermediate level player who even has a general idea of how to close out an endgame up a rook. No matter how good anything is, there's just a set limit on the number of possible moves that can be played in this position, and all of them are losing unless white blunders. For example, I can 100% draw every single game of tic-tac-toe against an omniscient god. There's just nothing within the rules of the game that lets god beat me in tic-tac-toe because no matter how smart they are, there's no winning moves. Your logical reasoning is horrid.
@@sanhakim1335Bxf3 is forced win by black
There is another context to the game too, that most of the early game was played by the Ayano and Sakayanagi's classmates whom they taught before. It wasnt played by them from the start. They had to play with the positions their students had left in the game. So, there's that variable in the equation too. But still, i am no expert and dont know how much do positions change a person's play in a game.😅
Didnt 2 other people play out the game before they took over??? Then from that position the captains handled the rest? It would be possible to believe they are higher but played with the hand they were dealt
yeah
Sakayanagi was completely winning but made a blunder at the end. The queen sacrifice near the end that shocked everyone was actually a move that made her from completely winning to completely losing assuming ayano found the queen sacrifice
The moves weren't shown in the light novel. It was just stated as a very intense chess game where when ayanokoji was ahead, the guy had to change his moves into bad ones. It's the animation studio who had to show the match because it was filled mostly of inner monologue, so they tried to improvise i guess

You forgot that the openings and the first part of the middle game was being played by horkita and hashimoto so of course it would look like some 1600 are playing. Cause they provided thebopening position. If they both played it from the start i think the difference could have been noticed.
Do u play chess ? Idk why but u don't seem like u have played much. It doesn't matter whether the opening was played by them, the move in question was not high level and that move was played by them .
no one takes the knight with the queen instead of the bishop bro. It's beyond absurd
I knew this was mid , but what the hell was the opening , tell us about that too
in fact, the match was played between Masayoshi Hashimoto and Suzune Horikita, but Ayanokoji (Horikita's helper in the match) and Sakayanagi (Hashimoto's helper in the match) were the captains for the "final test"
This game was a shitshow.
im not watching your analisys but im glad there is one outlet to vent.
Ayanokoji opened with a fking Nimzolarser attack that basically sacks the center control to play for counter then at move 3 decides to go e3 and i was like "wtf is this"
then it jumped to several moves later and its shown the white bishop being in Bb5 which is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve with a Nimzolarsen opening where you play 3. e3 (you literally are closing the door on that bishop until past midgame.
then towards the end Ajanokoji does 2 stupid moves in a row and hands a +5!!!!! advantage to Sakajanagi the BLUNDERS the fk out with QxNf3??
like are we supposed to think these people are genious?
there are SO MANY Fisher games that they could have pulled out from any database that would fit the narrative but they HAD to make this mess of a game
The move change was irrelevant tbh, yes it handed the victory to sakajanagi but honestly if they she didnt blunder she'd be winning ANYWAYS.
crazy
lmaoooooo real chess fanatics KNOW
subpar response coming from such a chess fanatic, makes me think youre just saying this for your ego/chess sake and you havent really done your homework lol. youll have to understand that it wasnt ayanokoji who opened with the Nimzolaser attack, it was horikita, the girl who was set to fight another student from another class, ayanokoji and Sakayanagi were set as leaders to tap in if the students they selected to fight were having trouble, thats why its their match, ayanokoji and Sakayanagi only played some mid-end game and even then he didnt go all out, but besides how the story is played out, you also have to realize that this is all taken from a light-novel, which this exact scene was written in 2018, I'm not sure about you but i dont think that this writer is on level with Magnus Carlsen to be able to write a chess game of such level. he would have to use stockfish or something but that also wouldnt work well due to writings sake. the chess game they actually played didnt really matter for it to deliver the message the writer wanted to deliver. so to analyze this chess match from a hardcore chess perspective then youre missing the point. TL;DR you missed the point blud and your response basically means nothing and is subpar to what it meant in the actual anime. and you got your information wrong ;)
@@jj3472 you're totally right
@@jj3472 You absolutely make no sense whatsoever
Horikita explicity tells us she was coached by Ajanokoji.
do you think for a second that she can forget a chess opening 3 moves in? THREE. MOVES. IN?
Nimzo larsen attack is
1. b3
2. Bb2
3. Nf3
4. d3 (depends on variations, d3 being the classical one that i suppose Ayanokoji taught her)
NOWHERE in any variation is e3 a move. Horikita shouldnt even consider that! Why? because e3 walls the other bishop in, forever and prevents you from castling.
they RECOGNIZE THAT midgame and INSTEAD of fixing the animation (fair enough) they presented us with another board state a few seconds after
(horikita and the guy are still in control)
in which the bishop that was supposedly buried in the wall pawn (that you can clearly see!) is in b5 which is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve!
not unless the other guy turns around for a second and Horikita fking cheats!
and yes i know that the author isnt magnus carlsen or bobby fisher or Mikail Tal or fking GOD of Chess.
but DATABASES EXIST!!! you can literally PULL OUT A FAMOUS GAME and TRACE THE MOVES!! you DONT EVEN NEED to pull out shit from thin air!!
and more to that. before Sakajanagi bluders her queen like a 1500elo shmuck who thinks they good cause they saw a mate in 2 that DOESNT WORK
Ajanokoji that WAS IN CHARGE AT THE TIME. BLUNDERS by playing QxR!!!
man just go to an analisys board and see that with optimal play from sakajanagi after QxR?? Ajanokoji is DEAD LOST!!
QxR? BxNf3!
g3 Qh3
Qe8+ Kh7
Qe4 BxQ
f3 [...]
and Sakajanagi has a Q for a R with an attack still mounting. She's winning completely.
but she Blunders and plays QxNf3?? handing the advantage to Ajanokoji with Qg5!! to get the advantage.
mind me. Qg5 there is actually a great move. like, a really great move IF WE DIDNT CONSIDER THE DOUBLE BLUNDER THAT HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE!!!!
like cmon, and they REPEAT the game later on and she doesnt go "oh wow i lost cause im DUMB AS FK" but says "oh shit you win those"
NO HE DONT WIN THOSE. you made him WIN!
Just... cmon man.
@@Rane501 i wasnt trying to be mean btw, i really enjoyed YOUR video but i feel like some things should be clarified immediately. i personally really like classroom of the elite, having read the entirety of the light novel series, the manga and the anime adaptation. and as a chess fan i think respect should be paid where respect is due and the creativity and writing of this series i havent seen anywhere else. thats why i think it should be generally defended due to how hard it is to display a genius and his problem solving skills and methods while not being a genius yourself while also trying to make a series that instills dramatic, heart racing and tragic perception within someone. im talking about this more than about chess but i view this chess match as a very important part for the writer and the reader. some chess enjoyer would obviously do a lot to find the chess match of someone who is apparently "smarter" than Magnus Carlsen only to be met by the sad reality that the chess game wasnt allat lmao. in the writing perspective, the chess didnt matter as much as the message being delivered through writing. and in a chess perspective the idea of the writing being displayed to a chess audience should be more important and studied from a subjective and thorough way. EDIT: i forgot to mention my first response was meant to the guy who made the comment we are replying to rn btw

hey, im sorry if you are offended from this. Just let it be bro, the author is trying the best for this story. Anyway it should also be common for supposedly genius character to play around with her words, especially in this context where they are not close buddy who'd love to express all their "clever" thought to oposition. Have you ever heard of sarcasm or rhetoric question 🙏
Oh no, not offended at all, appreciate the perspective
this is 16000 rating in my opinion
2800 is max for human beings
meanwhile anime is made and developed by human
ayanokoji defeated the most advanced chess bot in the world which on one else has done
I mean, in fiction, you have character like Shiro beating a program that explored two hundred million possibilities a second. She won twenty times in a row, alternating who moved first just to demonstrate the imperfection of the program.
Ye and also the author says he can see 100 moves into the future, news flash bro its all fake. It's fiction, ayanokoji is seen as perfect in his own verse but when u include real life and other verses u have to take into consideration the level at which both are competing at. The best chess bot was probably 2000 elo or something at that time(remeber chess bots have evolved) cuz at one point the most advanced chess but was1200 then when it got beat they created better ones then even better then even better
In the anime (idk bout the manga) Ananokoji and Sakayanagi weren't playing most of the game, they just took the end of the game which is why it's depicted as "genius" because they took the position left to them by average or above average players and had to mold it into a winning game
3:02, wouldn't the pawn just take the queen?
Yeah I was just about to say that
Nvm, if black takes queen with pawn your queen gets taken by whites pawn basically a queen trade but white is winning
Did you watch the video? it blocks the mate and you both lose a queen.
Yall are 1iq, if you take the queen, queen takes king
Queen takes king lmao
you're wrong if you think 2800 grandmaster has never blundered a mate in 3, you need to watch more chess
not in a simple open position like this and with time on clock
A lot of things that authors don't understand either, is that ayanokoji would never be able to beat magnus at chess even if he was somehow able to calculate best moves somewhat accurately, because people like magnus have memorized certain lines 50 moves down the board on certain openings, even if he existed in real life. He lacks the memorization and prearrangement that magnus knows to stand a chance, and regardless how many best moves ayanokoji would make, if magnus is in an advantageous position because he dominated in the opening, he can still play the top 5 best moves each turn and he would slam ayanokoji on his neck
In the LN they don't show the game this is only in the anime, but at least for people bellow that ratting it's still a really interesting position, consider chess not being a popular game in Japan if they made a high level game literally nobody would be able to understand it
awsome analysis
at least the position made sense, some animes they dont even show the position or even the moves dont make any sense xD
i didn't see all this deep detailed situation watching the anime, thanks for explaining the double queen sacs were amazing to me.
Idk much about you or your chess rating but giving Sakayanagi 1400 shows me that there is 3 options:
1. You don't know what you are talking about
2. You play chess online, but never played a classical game or
3. You just forgot to consider the low time... I mean I could see a GM in time trouble play Qxf3 in that position, thinking it's game over for the opponent. While Bxf3 is clearly winning, Qxf3 looks like a game ending move and simply overlooking Qg5 in low time could have easily happened to a GM. A 1400 would never even consider Qxf3 as a possibility and it already takes a lot of understanding to play that move. On the other hand Ayanokoji simply blundered Bxf3 with his whole Nxe7+ and Qxe7 and you could say that Qg5 is a lucky resource he had. Everything considered it is the only defensive moves and spotting moves like that when you are forced to see them is often easier.
You could basically say that Sakayanagi played at a higher or equal level to Ayanokoji, but both of them really aren't anywhere near 2000. You are giving way too much credit for the Qg5 move
What's your rating btw?
@@thatoneguy871 2200
Good video
Thanx! Appreciate it fr
I could be wrong, but I believe the author wasn't trying to convey some kind of high-level game play. I believe he was using some kind of fore shadowing for the story. Like the Mate-to-Mate threat you explained could be some kind of event that happens in the future. The author might have looked up some kind of chess strategies and found this one. Again, I could be wrong.
Edit: I also wanted to add that even in high level chess, cheating is common. So, the author could be alluding to the effects of cheating to win.
Ayanokoji is supposed to have beaten a Super computer and every Chess Grandmaster at age 11 lol.
In defense of the anime tho I don't think the Light Novel goes particularly in depth in the moves of Chess. Just like "The Movie that Sakyanagi made was amazing"
1 last thing to consider is they are also picking up where 2 chess Novices started from not a fresh start
I would say that Ayanokoji has higher elo at chess since he has beaten every master and a supercomputer at chess. Kasparov beat deep blue in 1997 if l recall correctly and Ayanokoji beat the supercomputer in the 2000s l would assume. I would say that Ayanokoji just toyed with Sagayanagi and wanted to see what she is capable of. Ayanokojis elo would be maybe 2600+ idk really but just my thoughts about the matter. What do you people think? Let me know if l got something wrong here.
Ngl that game looked like 800s playing
Maybe, and I'm putting a big IF, Sakayanagi thought Ayanokouji didn't have the time to calculate so Horikita moved herself (?) Idk. Either way thanks for the explanation!
I think he did that because he knew that due to time pressure she would instantly play the tempting queen sac could this be right ??
totally missed an opportunity to abuse stockfish for a "perfect" match
In the novel the director changed all of his moves
Finally someone said it. As a chess player myself I also noticed this mistakes that would happen around my level or even lower (my elo is 1400)
Hmm, normally, for “super geniuses” in anime like this, they would just steal all the moves of a super GM game that fit the story they needed.
