“I got checkmated in 34 moves.” Levy Rozman a.k.a. GothamChess plays chess against Stockfish 16, the strongest chess computer in the world, and analyzes the way it thinks in order to apply it to his own gameplay. With help from computer chess software engineer Gary Linscott, these chess pros identify why Stockfish is virtually unbeatable by a human, from opening move to endgame.

    what you need to keep in mind about Levy surviving 34 moves: Stockfish assumes perfect play by its opponent. it doesnt try to win in the fewest moves, it tries to win in the most cases.

    Either you can play two chess games the same or AI as presented is BS.

    What is it?

    Is chess the game that will never play the same way twice, or is AI not “magic” and chess just isn’t that amazing a strategy game?

    Or do chess players and people working in AI have a vested interest in not exploring that?

    I play chess for fun. That’s my horse in the game.

      They’ve solved it for 7 pieces, 423,836,835,667,331 positions, increasing to eight pieces gives apparently 38,176,306,877,748,245 positions. I assume if the former is hard to store/compute/or otherwise deal with, I guess that might be the reason the whole game isn’t solved

    I love how Levy basically asks the same question over and over (how does it know beginning/middle game/end game) and Gary tries to answer in different ways, even though stockfish literally does the same thing every turn – it builds a game tree based on the current position.

    • @pugsnhogz

      December 9, 2023 at 5:41 pm

      Yes. In a sense, some of them were just bad questions. I think they had a difficult task here splitting the difference between “informative about the theory” and “relatable/understandable to a lay audience,” and sometimes they erred too much on the side of relatability/simplification.

      But also, there’s just not that much to talk about in broad conceptual terms – a lot of the more meaningful discussion about how Stockfish works is simply unintelligible to the uneducated public, even before getting too far into the weeds.

    “…so, yall drew imaginary lines on a picture of the earth and just fight over that?”

    Regarding that pawn move in front of the King, maybe Stockfish plays something like that with the goal of getting into a future position that is advantageous. And that advantageous position might be recognizable to you. I wonder if, as a human player, one can see a weird Stockfish move and then understand what future position the bot wants, and then play around that.

    Arguably the only negative about Stockfish is that because of the same pruning process that makes it so efficient will also cause it to once in a blue moon miss forced mates because it pruned the best possible move initially.

    Stock fish and self driving algorithms are only good at one thing, but their competence at that one thing is greater than any human prodigy. ChatGPT’s developers went the other way and made it “pretty good” at “anything that can be described in (4096 tokens or less of) text”.
    Let that sink in

    The fact Alpha Zero made Stockfish look silly after only 4 hours of learning chess by playing against itself is both fascinating and scary at the same time.

      December 13, 2023 at 10:21 am

      @@liamb5791 maybe so but I think you’re missing the point. I know it’s not apples to apples; Stockfish agreed to the terms (as did others) but GPU will crush CPU on parallel computing and that’s the difference. The proof was in the neural network of Alpha Zero teaching itself which does require specialized hardware. The future of GPU will takeover tasks that CPU can never do no matter how much CPU is strengthened. It would be fun to run it back today and see how it plays out.

    Playing the best possible chess is one thing, but what I find more interesting is how computers are programmed to *not* play well.

    If the engine is on a lower setting, how does the computer pick its moves?

    Does it perhaps
    – find the best moves as before, and then always play (say) the 5th best move (with better ranked moves at higher settings)
    – find the best moves, and play the best move (say) 10% of the time (with a higher percentage at higher settings); or
    – sometimes throw in random moves (less often on higher settings)?
