Thanks again, Wired. More collabs in 2024? 👀
-
Playing against Stockfish is like competing in arm wrestling against an industrial press, basically.
-
It took him 34 moves to lose to Stockfish? I could do it much faster than that.
-
@GothamChess @Wired - thank you for having me on to talk about computer chess! It's been one of my passions for a long time, and it was so much fun to discuss with you.
-
Stockfish never fails to put Levy in a video
-
Stockfish be like: You missed mate in 54? You filthy casual, my suggested move is to never play chess again.
-
This guy should make his own YouTube channel about chess
-
Human: performs opening move Stockfish: “after considering half a billion possibilities in a million different realities, I will play knight to F6 🤓”
-
I don't even see the opponents bishop on the opposite side of the diagonal, let alone seeing 2-3 moves into the future
-
I know he is an IM, but surviving 35 moves against Stockfish is seriously impressive. I wish I can survive 35 against my 1000 elo opponents.
-
I love when Levy appears in a video he didn't upload because the title and thumbnail actually tells you what to expect.
-
Just wait until they hear about Mittens
-
“Only about 10-20 TB of data, which is manageable” Person prior to 2000: mindblown
-
1. Pawn to e4 Stock fish: forced checkmate in 35 moves, please press the resign button now to save me computational trouble.
-
So basically the answer to every single question is that Stockfish just analyzes almost every imaginable position lol
-
This is one of the best interviews on any topic. Really well produced.
-
This is a great video! It's always good when levy is in these videos. Have a good day!
-
This is probably my favorite GothamChess video ever. It's great to see the inner workings of engines being communicated to the chess community. I feel like a lot of players, even strong ones don't understand what the engine eval is really saying, and hopefully this helps!
-
Stockfish has more positions ready than the Kama Sutra.
-
Levy: [builds a YouTube career roasting 500 rated bozos] Stockfish: [exists] Levy: "Turns out the bozo was me all along" Loving the Gotham<>WIRED collabs!
