today hikaru was able to casually draw with mittens while chatting with chat, sipping a coffee and blitzing out moves ... It was shocking to me given How well it fared against even stockfish
I cannot get over how Stockfish made a rook instead of a queen. It had no reason to do that other than to clown Mittens. This is a robot made to play _perfect chess_ and it _intentionally thought_ “I can do this winning sequence with a queen, but I think it’d be funnier to do it with rook.”
@@midn8588 Yeah, that's correct. The modern engines want to use the least force to get the best results, so if they calculate that with a rook is fine, then they take a rook. As well, all we know the queen is so powerful that, in some positions, there are possible stalemates.
The best part is, if Stockfish made a queen it would’ve been M4 But instead it made a rook and made it M6 It deliberately chose the longer sequence to clown Mittens in the best way possible
Engines try to minimize the loss of material (usually measured as centipawns) so stockfish promotes a piece that guarantees victory with the smallest loss of material. Or, he has conscience and is a big troll.
Now I have this mental image of Stockfish pressing its opponent's head between two chessboards and demanding that they call themselves an idiot sandwich
Welp, it's more like this kitten's mojo, you know. Stockfish is actually exactly like a guy, who wants to win at all cost, but doesn't miss opportunity to do it in style, if such presents :)
People consider Mittens borderline sadistic. Or actually sadistic. Stockfish: *makes a rook instead of a queen cause there's no variation of the position that requires a queen, and proceeds to make Mittens walk onto the gallows on g6 to be executed*
@@DoubleGstudio But that's the thing they're saying in their comment. Stockfish calculated that it didn't even need its' queen, as powerful as the piece is, to beat Mittens. Then it used a longer and more humiliating path to victory, giving Mittens a queen via promotion almost as an insult (I don't need mine, and you can't win even with yours), which also forced Mittens to move its' king into a mate position as its' only legal, desperate, and futile move. It's not that Stockfish "missed" a quicker victory, it's that it was coded in a way which allowed for it to not only calculate its' victory, but calculate the exact amount of force it needed to obtain said victory, without going overkill with a queen. Keep in mind that it achieved this absolute domination of a win against a bot that even our current Grandmasters struggle to beat. Whoever coded Stockfish should be very proud of themselves, they've coded a masterpiece.
Levy's narration is absolutely lovely. Not only he's passionate about chess, he make you REALLY care about what he's presenting to you. You just can not not love it.
His commentary not only made me understand the stakes of each move, It made me emotionally invested enough to feel an uncomfortable amount of anxiety. Never thought chess could get such an emotion outta me.
@@sorin_markov that comment template was actually pretty common like a decade ago, with stuff like Justin Bieber instead of Mittens and Hendrix instead of Stockfish in the example above.
Good ol' AI strategy of "nah, I don't really need a queen. That's overkill. I don't need overkill, I'll just do what suffices to achieve my ultimate plan which I have already forseen"
Stockfish promotes to the weakest piece possible for it to still win. So basically if stockfish promotes to a queen that means you still have a chance. but if it promotes to anything else it’s probably mate in 10 or something like that.
Snake fun fact some random minecraft player found a mistake Hikaru made apparently Hikaru could have beat mitten , there was a missed win , where Hikaru could fork mittens allowing him to get mittens queen, but Hikaru didn't notice this because he was too busy building a fortress
@@chubbymario3096 idk man, I was just looking at discord and then someone put a screenshot of a position and was like hey chess nerds explain why Hikaru didn't fork the queen, and then after looking at the position for a minute, I realised oh wait he could have done that.
Stockfish isn’t sadistic. Stockfish systematically dismantles you limb-by-limb, but it does it so as to efficiently execute you as quickly and easily as possible. Stockfish has no interest in your pain, or in your surrender, or in having a moral victory. It just wants you to stop breathing as quickly as possible. Mittens is nothing like that. Mittens will take your soul. Mittens will suffocate you slowly, not to win, but just to enjoy watching you thrashing. Mittens will traumatize you until you forget your mother’s voice. Mittens’ weakness, of course, is that Stockfish does not have a soul. It doesn’t need to breathe, and even if it did, it wouldn’t panic when it was choking. It has no mother, and if it did, it would sacrifice her to win a pawn. Mittens is a menace, but a menace can’t beat a killer.
Stockfish: I am not in danger, Mittens. I am the danger. A king opens his backrank and gets checked and you think that of me? No. I am the one who mates.
@@twopregnantwomenfightingis2317 I have seen stockfish draw with greater than 1.1 advantage in TCEC... I would say 2.5+ is probably overwhelming. Even then there are fortress like endgames.

And finally, with only one legal move left to make, Mittens is forced to checkmate itself. Levy's commentary made it all the better, I'm new to chess but what an amazing sequence.
Why would Stockfish even do this? Wouldn't it still be more logical to take a queen and only take say knight for rare cases? It's like Stockfish has personality and wanted to show disrespect
@@danielsurvivor1372 Due to the way stockfish works, it has to also consider the moves its opponent will play. Maybe it calculated the best outcome for itself would be when Mittens doesn't take the promoted piece. However, if the piece was a queen Mittens would absolutely take it.
@@TheCrimsonIdol987 Indeed, "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." Do you have a hearth to sit by? A reclining chair, perhaps? There seems to be forecast quite a lot of rain in the coming week...
Stockfish threw his sword on the ground in front of the miserable, defeated cat and said: "There. Do it yourself. I wouldn't like to get my fins dirty."
"Babe, come over!" Stockfish: I don't want to "But my parents aren't home!" Stockfish: I don't care "And there's this kitten who thinks it is the best chess AI" Stockfish: *Forces Mittens to checkmate itself with the white pieces*
The fact that Mitten actually managed to temporarily get out of stockfishs advantage is scary to me. I thought it impossible for stockfish to lose its advantage
Chess engines actually don't always play the best moves, whose is probably why storing lost advantage. But it sure is scary, 0.7 to 0 I have never seen that from stockfish
it probably didn't. The eval bar is from the browser stockfish which is a less stronger version than the cloud one. In a lot of occasions it doesn'realise the position as it needs a lot of time to evaluate it more correctly. So probably the stockfish that playe Mittens never lost the advantage
Yeah...and the fact that hikaru was able to casually draw with mittens while chatting with chat, sipping a coffee and blitzing out moves was shocking to me given How well it fared against even stockfish

@LuhNisø Hikaru actually explained himself that mittens should have won that match but it did not, that's why he was so unimpressed. It was just a fluke that he won the game. Edit: I meant that he draw the game.. sorry
@@Ira-rx5ho there's no fluke when playing engines ... I can understand, you are upset that your preferred strong player either lost or didn't dare to play on stream without preparation like Hikaru... But a draw is a draw ... And against an engine that held its own against stockfish 15.1 till the very end , well that's insane and worth appreciating for the least...
I have purposefully not watched any other stockfish vs mittens videos just to be able to watch Gotham's with the most raw experience as possible. He's very entertaining
@@nolajoe580 out of every chess youtuber, i find him the most entertaining and while I don't usually watch every video to the end, every gotham video I've watched to the end.
This felt good to watch. Mittens not only beat me yesterday, it teased and humiliated me. It kept playing one move away from a backrank mate. Any human would've made a pawn move for safety, but Mittens just knew I wasn't ever gonna get the move done. It was sadism.
as someone very bad at chess, I love seeing his reactions and descriptions to what I would usually just say "alright this horsie is gonna go for a square shaped walk" or "I wanna trade rooks.... or do I?" it's so fun to see people who actually understand this stuff react to crazy moves while I have no clue what's going on.
I like how people yell that Mittens is a some kind of a devil in kitten fur and how it's impossible to stay on against it, while Stockfish is like: "yeah, thank you for the gift man, it was a nice breakfast"
If I had to describe that last game in words: Basically stockfish started ripping Mittens limbs off one by one, letting her bleed but never killing her. Once Stockfish tore off that last limb it proceed to arm mittens with a knife and in a last desperate attempt to attack stockfish, her little movements cause her to finally bleed to death causing her to kill herself That last game was absolutely brutal on another level wtf
Nice comment... If that didn't perfectly describe the game, I would think you had severe psychological problems talking about ripping off a cat's limbs. And yet that absolutely perfectly described the game. Therefore I believe you are a brilliant thinker and writer.
There the thing I noticed tooo! What meaning is there is stockfish is evaluating the position when both algorithms have different outlook to a better position. That just made no sense
Honestly, this is like someone narrating the fight of the century, the stakes are high, the moves insane, the creativity and no standard move are of the charts. Is like watching the two most creative and deadly assassins have mind games with each other. While a poor spectator can not fandom what they are thinking, only narrate in awe as they makes moves, each one expertly crafted to humiliate the other.

So relatable, he is just hyping it up so chess boobs think they need to get it back together.

9:50 just say the knight becomes the protagonist of this chess game.
The fact that Mitten actually managed to temporarily get out of stockfishs advantage is scary to me. I thought it impossible for stockfish to lose its advantage
Chess engines actually don't always play the best moves, whose is probably why storing lost advantage. But it sure is scary, 0.7 to 0 I have never seen that from stockfish
my autotranslate 💀
it probably didn't. The eval bar is from the browser stockfish which is a less stronger version than the cloud one. In a lot of occasions it doesn'realise the position as it needs a lot of time to evaluate it more correctly. So probably the stockfish that playe Mittens never lost the advantage
I doubt that happened. The engine analyising the game is worse than stockfish 15.
Yeah...and the fact that hikaru was able to casually draw with mittens while chatting with chat, sipping a coffee and blitzing out moves was shocking to me given How well it fared against even stockfish
I love how passionate Levy is about chess, dude i don't understand half depth of each move, just see some checks and attacks, but i really love how he narrates as if his life where on the line. As if each move were a piece of art. Dude i love it
Watching nerds spazz out about nerd things is funny
Completely agree and he makes it so entertaining

"casually" did we watch different games? he had to sweat a lot
@LuhNisø Hikaru actually explained himself that mittens should have won that match but it did not, that's why he was so unimpressed. It was just a fluke that he won the game.
Edit: I meant that he draw the game.. sorry
@@Ira-rx5ho he draws the game to be exact
@LuhNisø how many matches did Magnus or any others win against mittens, even by fluke? Lol... Keep crying
@@Ira-rx5ho there's no fluke when playing engines ... I can understand, you are upset that your preferred strong player either lost or didn't dare to play on stream without preparation like Hikaru... But a draw is a draw ... And against an engine that held its own against stockfish 15.1 till the very end , well that's insane and worth appreciating for the least...
It's incredibly impressive how good he makes these videos with just one take.

@Correct is that animal is Mittens ? H E D E S E R V E D I T
This felt good to watch. Mittens not only beat me yesterday, it teased and humiliated me. It kept playing one move away from a backrank mate. Any human would've made a pawn move for safety, but Mittens just knew I wasn't ever gonna get the move done. It was sadism.
🙃
We aint getting outta mittens wrath 💀

@@Harvey2011 ayo why r you here
As a fellow animal I have to favor Mittens in this battle. Stockfish is usually my lunch, you see.

Wow, i usually have mittens for dinner
As a fellow human, I have to favor no one in this battle. You, Stockfish and even mittens are usually my lunch, you see.
Mittens is what I use in the Kitchen tho
Mittens: This isn’t my ELO… It’s my ranking.

as someone very bad at chess, I love seeing his reactions and descriptions to what I would usually just say "alright this horsie is gonna go for a square shaped walk" or "I wanna trade rooks.... or do I?"
it's so fun to see people who actually understand this stuff react to crazy moves while I have no clue what's going on.
When I watched this my brain cells left and entered with friend's
I love This horsie is gonna go for a square shaped walk I'm using that forever

I absolutely adore this man's passion, you can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and it's just so heartwarming
Bro I don’t even understand how the pieces in chess move and I knew that those games were MADNESS
2nd game stockfish was like "instead of a beating, just go ahead and checkmate yourself while I sit back and watch"
If all AI becomes as sadistic as Stockfish is, then we may have quite the problem on our hands in the future lol
Exactly.
you mean mittens? stockfish is just there to win, mittens teases you the entire game and beats anyone but stockfish
@@eugenekrabs141 hikaru drew with mittens
@@watchingyoutube5093 the comment i made was before i saw that video, but even then it was a really close game and it still was a draw
Watching stockfish play is like watching a single player game of chess. Every move the opponent makes plays into its hand.
@Correct I mean, _technically_ he is abusing Mittens.
But at the same time, gtfo
(Bat) Duolingo : Do your lessons! FOR GOTHAM
Mitten really feels like an adaptive bot which was made for the purpose of making us feel good but then shattering our whole mind
That and/or it just makes you suffer because it pins all your pieces and you can't do anything about it (which is also psychologically defeating)
Grandmaster adaptive.
I never want these 2 words pop up ever again.
I like how people yell that Mittens is a some kind of a devil in kitten fur and how it's impossible to stay on against it, while Stockfish is like: "yeah, thank you for the gift man, it was a nice breakfast"
My cat is named mittens
If I had to describe that last game in words: Basically stockfish started ripping Mittens limbs off one by one, letting her bleed but never killing her. Once Stockfish tore off that last limb it proceed to arm mittens with a knife and in a last desperate attempt to attack stockfish, her little movements cause her to finally bleed to death causing her to kill herself
That last game was absolutely brutal on another level wtf
Wtf XD
You alright bruh?...that's scarily specific
that sounds really dark lmao, but its true.
Am I stupid or could mittens have A8 knight, fish does smth then no rook+check
Sorry if I’m wrong
Nice comment... If that didn't perfectly describe the game, I would think you had severe psychological problems talking about ripping off a cat's limbs. And yet that absolutely perfectly described the game. Therefore I believe you are a brilliant thinker and writer.
“Making the king a little bit more stupid.”
definitely the best line of the entire video.
I swear Stockfish has the ability to understand human emotions and understands how to humiliate opponents

There the thing I noticed tooo! What meaning is there is stockfish is evaluating the position when both algorithms have different outlook to a better position. That just made no sense
It does make sense to use the better engine, which Stockfish has convincingly proven to be.

Honestly, this is like someone narrating the fight of the century, the stakes are high, the moves insane, the creativity and no standard move are of the charts.
Is like watching the two most creative and deadly assassins have mind games with each other.
While a poor spectator can not fandom what they are thinking, only narrate in awe as they makes moves, each one expertly crafted to humiliate the other.
Levy is the kind of person to make you smile when he makes videos especially when he tells the ROOOOOOOOK!!!

The attack at the end of the game in game 1 was the most mindblowingly coordinated attack I've ever seen. Just surreal.
