Capablanca Chess | A new challenge for Stockfish

  • Опубліковано 15 лют 2022
  • Capablanca chess (or Capablanca's chess) is a chess variant invented in the 1920s by World Chess Champion José Raúl Capablanca.
    It incorporates two new pieces and is played on a 10×8 board. Capablanca believed that chess would be played out in a few decades (meaning games between GMs would always end in draws). This threat of "draw death" for chess was his main motivation for creating a more complex version of the game.
    * The archbishop combines powers of a bishop and a knight.
    * The chancellor combines powers of a rook and a knight.
    The new pieces allow new strategies and possibilities that change the game. For example, the archbishop by itself can checkmate a lone king in the corner (when placed diagonally with one square in between).

    I love the whole idea of a system originally created for a variation of maximum performance for standard chess playing a game where triple long castling is a casual integer in it. The whole board feels like war as all the pieces are either locked in an attack or lain askew across the board and with a system known for it’s devastating locking of pieces to get absolutely *disgusting* checkmates, it’s quite beautiful in a sense for the two stockfishes to go in full on combat.

    Beautiful channel, I was playing with this idea for a channel for a while but never had guts to commit to the time and effort it required. Hope you enjoy and benefit from your good work. would be great to let engine analyze the move for longer time (perhaps 40 Move 120m) and play back with 1 move per second. Also would be great if you could share the link (at least for standard games) and/or evaluation on screen. Some of the moves seems stupid but I am sure if we look into the lines it should be interesting.

      Hey, thanks so much your for kind words.
      I actually let the engines search for moves a lot longer. This view you see is only for display and actual work is done elsewhere :). I was sharing the PGN moves but stopped it since I thought no one is interested. But will try to do it from now on.

    I wonder how stockfish evaluated the value of the pieces. Are rough values hard coded, or deduced somehow? Trading a chancellor or queen for an archbishop seems a bad idea...

    • @NeuralChess
      @NeuralChess  2 роки тому +16

      They have some hardcoded value, but it also changes depending on the position.

      Fairy Stockfish has automatically generated eval depending on the variant rules and fairy pieces used. However, an NNUE specific to Capablanca/Gothic chess is available to download (for free).

    • @KaitlynBurnellMath
      @KaitlynBurnellMath 2 роки тому +7

      Proposed points values for these pieces are (from wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capablanca_chess ):
      Archbishop: 8.75
      Chancellor: 9
      Queen: 9.5
      I've found another article where they are given values
      Archbishop: 8
      Chancellor: 8.5
      Queen: 9
      Archbishop being so close to queen and chancellor in power might seem initially a little surprising, cause it combines knight and bishop (two pieces that are not individually that strong) but it's actually a very strong piece. Able to checkmate a king without any additional support (as mentioned in the video). Able to switch between light and dark diagonals.

      I don't think so. Although white won here, it could be random or Stockfish might be wrong. But there are also theories that even standard chess is winning for white with optimal play.

      Keep in mind that Fairy Stockfish isn't anywhere near as good as normal Stockfish. Normal Stockfish has been tuned and re-tuned, has a very complex opening book, potentially has access to end-game tablebases, and (with the newest releases) has a neural network that has self-trained extensively to determine new tactics and strategies. Fair Stockfish, well, doesn't.
      That doesn't mean that Fairy Stockfish is a *weak* player by any stretch of the imagination -- but its far, far weaker than normal Stockfish.
      I suspect that:
      1) The poster had several draws before he found an interesting (not a draw) game to post and
      2) A GM that was skilled in this *particular* variant could defeat Fairy Stockfish.

      @@vladimirk7686 I think the underlying issue is that there are *no* positional mechanics in Fairy Stockfish. The evaluation function simply scores positions based on the material on the board at the end of the variation.
      In such a scenario, if you will be forced to lose the queen at the end of all (lets say) 16 ply continuations, there is no reason to favor losing a queen immediately vs. losing the queen later. The two lines score the same, so Fairy Stockfish sees no reason to prefer one line to another.

    The most interesting chess variant that I've ever heard of is... Well, I checked Wikipedia, and it I didn't see it listed, so I don't know what the name is, or if it has a name. :)
    Its very straightforward, though: All the rules are the same as normal chess, except that when a draw would otherwise occur (due to the 50 move rule, or a draw offer made and accepted), the next player to move returns whichever of their pieces was captured last to the board, in the position that it occupied prior to being captured. If that location is occupied by a hostile piece, that piece is captured. If that location is occupied by a friendly piece, the player has the option of forgoing returning the missing piece or "capturing" the friendly piece. In the case of draws due to the 50 move rule, pieces will continue to be returned (one each players turn) until some specific number of pieces are on the board -- in the case of a draw offer made and accepted, each player will return one piece, with the player that accepted the draw offer adding the first piece. Note that returning a piece doesn't replace the players normal move -- its "in addition", and occurs before the normal move is made. Thus, the newly returned piece can be moved the turn it returns.
    The idea, of course, is to reduce or eliminate draws. Given that it isn't even listed on the WIkipedia's rather exhaustive list of chess variants, I'm pretty certain that it doesn't actually work that way. :)

    • @hudsonmoraes1261
      @hudsonmoraes1261 2 роки тому

      Essa me pareceu ser uma variante ruim.
      A menos que houvesse ajustes na pontuação. Por exemplo, ao acordar ou forçar empate, cada jogador garante 0,5 ponto. E ao continuarem o jogo eles disputam entre si 0,25 pontos restantes.
      Mesmo assim, continuo achando uma ideia péssima. Veja o caso dos empates por afogamento. Imagine o desequilíbrio que seria após a introdução de novas peças! Sendo que um dos lados acabou de sacrificar todas as suas peças para obter um empate por afogamento.
      Enfim, uma ideia ruim.

    I really like your content and appreciate ur efforts on this type of fairy chess,i suggest a chess variant which called (standard fairy chess) which i think about and i want to see it
    This variant works that having every possible Standard chess piece that can compare with knight & bishop & Rock
    So the pieces in it will be like this
    1knight 1bishop 1rock 1queen 1king 1chancellor 1archibishop 1amazon in the last row of each colour
    The position is random like bobby Fischer 960chess..
    This is my variant and i hope you like it,bye

    Please make a video on centaurs, and test it against the archbishop, to see which piece would win (removing the knight component would transform both pieces to mann (king, but nonroyal) and bishop respectively, which would result in a mann having the advantage, I wonder what would happen in a centaur vs archbishop matchup, which is the similar as mann vs bishop, but now both are augmented with knight moves)
