      dude amazing video. not to poke holes in your videotoo much but i am not sure 16:08 is a disambiguation. only one bishop could achieve checkmate there, so Bg2# would be sufficient information. perhaps the notation on the sites showed differently in your data, but i would argue that is an error on their part if so. what's interesting then is whether a doubly-disambiguated bishop NO-capture checkmate is possible to occur. it would seem that you could not have a discovered mate for that to be possible, since you would need some other bishop that could achieve the checkmate if moved. maybe there is a square formation or all directly next to each other or some other creative configuration. if so then i would argue THAT would be the "rarest" move in chess, even if it has never happened it would prove less likely to be able to happen imo than the other options. maybe i am wrong though, again great vid and well thought out!

    I hope double disambiguation has a long meme life with Hikaru, like "juicer", pushing P, big black center, wooden shield, etc. it just has such a goofy ring to it. "I'm going to double disambiguate him" is new Hikaru lingo for "I'm going to humiliate him"

      You'd be surprised how well it would work. Depends on how the rhubarb is prepared though. Raw just thrown on wouldn't be cooked and bitter. But a sweet, habenero pickled rhubarb would be delicious on a pizza. You get the 3 s's. Sweet, salty spicey. The sweet will overpower the bitter, the spice balances the sweet, and the salt makes it more savory and flavorful of course. It's not a bad idea. The rhubarb preparation is the biggest factor. But I would think it would need to be a bit spicy to be done right

    There should be something like a doubly disambiguated bishop promotion checkmate

    • @kukuc96
      @kukuc96 3 місяці тому +1

      You can't have a doubly disambiguated promotion unfortunately, as pawns can only promote from the 7th rank. In fact, pawns can never get a rank disambiguation, since 2 pawns that are on the same file and different ranks can never move to the same square, so they cannot be ambiguous.

  • @AI-xi4jk
    @AI-xi4jk 4 місяці тому +1

    I was expecting the original video to mention double checkmates. Even though there is no notation AFAIK to say that both pieces give a check and a checkmate it still makes it more unique than a single checkmate. Combining this with double disambiguation move would make it even rarer?! @GMHikaru you have a new challenge! Also we should petition for double checkmate notation because it’s cool and rare.

    • @AI-xi4jk
      @AI-xi4jk 4 місяці тому +2

      @@jamieevans5979 haha I didn’t really think it through 🤭. The best I have is a pawn taking something and promoting to a queen at the same time discovering a double mate. Although there can be 3 queens going to pawn promotion square we don’t have to disambiguate the pawn move. I think I’ve convinced myself that it’s not exactly possible if we stick to this notation. The problem is with notation. It’s meant to disambiguate moves. If we see from the engine evaluation point of view of how many squares are attacked, etc then the answer might be different but that makes the question different as well: what’s the rarest position rather than rarest notation. I guess I digress.

    • @jamieevans5979
      @jamieevans5979 4 місяці тому +1

      @AI-xi4jk That's what I was thinking. Rarest position. Yeah a pawn promoting, checking and opening a discovery the same time would do it. It seems like it should be so easy to imagine loads of possibilities, yet my brain still hurts 😆

    16:08 is not disambiguated, since there is only one bishop move that leads to checkmate. Just Bg2# is enough information, because if either of the other two bishops are moved then there is no checkmate.

    • @fonteinbloem3067
      @fonteinbloem3067 4 місяці тому +18

      According to Lichess at least, it’s disambiguated move. It doesn’t matter which one of the 3 moves leads to checkmate, it’s about notating a move. If you notate a move as Bg2#, you gotta choose the correct bishop according to a situation instead of brainlessly moving a piece that’s given in the notation

    • @B16Dominoes
      @B16Dominoes 4 місяці тому +7

      Checkmate happens after the fact. The point is that any of the bishops could move to g2, which doubly disambiguates it. You are correct that bg2# would be enough information, but I think that because the # sign is at the end of the notation, it needs to be specified by the computer which bishop first, before the checkmate.

    • @shadowyzephyr
      @shadowyzephyr 4 місяці тому +4

      Technically there is enough information for it to be not disambiguated, but standard chess notation disambiguates checks/captures/checkmates like this anyway for convenience.

    • @somebody-anonymous
      @somebody-anonymous 4 місяці тому +6

      If checkmate didn't "happen after the fact", often # would be enough, as many positions only have one checkmate

    Dis-ambiguate is to get rid of ambiguity, so it’s the clarification of the rank and file in the notation which is double because you need both

    Irony being that by playing the rarest move it, it becomes less rare than it was before. Meaning he would have to play every rarest move until the last has not been played, making it the true rarest move

    6:47 Hikaru says "Is he wrong? It's Q8e6 not Qc8e6." but he missed that there's TWO Queens on the 8th rank, which is why the "Qc8e6" is necessary for DOUBLE disambiguation.
    7:19 Okay now he sees it.
