Correction: Chess is solved at 7 pieces or less. 8 piece tablebase is still a work in progress. I have even said this in previous videos. Sometimes my mouth moves faster than my brain. This is my apology. Now get out of here.

feeling lost? light a torch

Torch: sacrifices rook and is a genius Me: hangs rook and is reminded that my elo is 450

My favorite part about this video is the low-depth stockfish eval occasionally goes “WAIT A MINUTE” and jumps the eval like 10 seconds after the move was made

Torch's playing style is like: "Is that a move a degenerate would do?" "It is!" "I'll play it" Insane stuff

You don't want an unhinged torch. That frequently leads to fires.

Torch can literally becomes levy's new magnus for this year.

Levy is truly the most unhinged AI of all time.

Last I heard we were still a long way from 8man tablebases. The bots can use 7-piece tablebases in TCEC and a game is adjudicated at 6 pieces. That's another reason Torch wanted to lose the hpawn. I've seen bots pitch a rook when the remaining position is in tablebase, because maybe there was a way to win faster but they couldn't see it and knew how to win the 7-piece endgame

Levy should join FIDE board of directors. Time to modernize the governance of our game.

Torch looks like Tal, crazy sacrifices, relentless attack and powerful engame

As fascinating as the last game was, the attack on that first game was insane.

honestly, I think that the ‘piece tension’ - where opposing computers’ pieces see each other but don’t take - is very akin to ‘pawn tension’ for humans. We avoid piece tension (at least compared to the absurd level demonstrated by computers) due to the mind boggingly complex variations. But less experienced players often resolve the pawn tensions very quickly for the same reasons. It’s fascinating.

“The continuous threat of something about to happen” sounds like a quote from a series of unfortunate events

Absolutely fascinating to see Torch in action! The AI's understanding of chess nuances and its ability to sacrifice material for positional advantages is mind-blowing. This truly showcases how AI has transformed the world of chess.

In the last game Stockfish experienced what we experience when we play against Stockfish

that last game reminded me of a game between stockfish 8 vs houdini 5 that was shown by agadmator. stockfish had a queen vs 2 bishops, which is a forced mate in >70 moves, or rather a draw by the 50-move rule, but houdini resigned. I really like to see those unbalanced endgames.

Stockfish: how dare you challenge my power

26:24 is one of my favorite Levy noises that I've heard in a while.

Levy never fails to be scared of bots

I'm sure there was atleast one point during the development process where a tester was confused as to why it was "blundering" all its pieces, not realising its sheer genius

0:54 levy and I will never.

I don't know how that guy makes me watch a bot chess game without even editing

Man its difficult to watch human chess after watching computer chess

Levy never fails to make me watch an uncut 30 minute video everyday

i really want to see a video where we watch bots play the same opening but you analyze the differences in how the bots take that opening into the midgame. it would be interesting to see the different strategies the different bots use to play the same openings.

Torch makes Stockfish's play look...mechanical. Torch's calculations are still insanely complicated, but they almost seem organic. Holy crap, this is terrifying.

Torch should be called campfire because it is nonstop cooking.

Torch is fascinating man. It’ll choose moves that prioritize destabilizing the opponent’s positions, regardless of the damage it receives, and because the positions of the enemy are ruined, the losses are made up for with the results. The fact it even boggles Stockfish is crazy.

chess engine running on amd epycs while stockfish eval bar runs on levy's browser: "Stockfish doesn't even understand" meanwhile stockfish: +1.3

Here before levy changes the title the title rn is this chess AI is unhinged

it's crazy to me how well torch utilises tempo and baiting the opponent into losing tempo in order to get such an insanely crushing advantage. so cool

Stockfish: I'm stronger, I'm smarter, I'm better... I AM BETTER!!!!!

imagine if one of the candidate uses torch to prepare instead of standard stockfish.....

That first game was the most insane game ive ever seen in my life

Chess bots never fail to include Levy in their video

Levy not shouting the rook had me very sad

It's funny how many pieces they hang, it's like they're so good they've wraped back to 100.

Stockfish:why you sacrificed the pawns ? Torch: well its mate in 150 ...

Levy is getting symptoms of withdrawl due to a lack of Magnus videos.

levy never fails to contradict the eval bar

today's stare was a classic. lasted around a sec and was really absorbent. I'll rate it a 8.23 out of 10

the last endgame study is mindblowing

The first game was one of the best chess games ever played

"This move, mind blowing, the next one bananas". Like when your 1st move at Wal Mart is pulling down your pants and the next move is to wet the floor

Levy fails to never

one might say that torch burns bright enough to be scary

In order to make this move i cannot play, I guess I'll just play it anyway. Genius.

Respect for the internet chess teacher even if he is not a GM

AI never fails to Levy.

tournament recaps, guess the elo and bot recaps are my favorite content from you

Torch: Hold, hooold, Hoooold, HOOOOOOOLLLD, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLDDDDDDFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRREEEEEEEEEEEE

Levy never fails to correct the computer as a GOAT.😂

I was about to sleep but a Gotham vid never fails to disappoint

You know that Is good content when Gotham covers Torch

Great video levy, this is so interesting to watch, to see how different bots are just better at different things, it's so interesting!

The scariest chess bot on Earth is Levy

GothamChess never fails to show us chess

I've watched so many of your videos and I'm still no better at understanding what you're saying, but i love the enthusiasm. Honestly if golf commentators had this level of energy, i might watch that too.

Levy, can you make a video about counter brilliant plays? (Like after an opponent does a brilliant move, the other plays a brilliant move too.)

25:30 the thing here is that if you trade the pawns you are left with 7 pieces on the board, so maybe it's using tablebases and prefers to lose the pawn and kerp 8 pieces on the board, which it doesn't know for a fact is losong but it's probably losing regardless.

If Levi should be a GM in anything, it should be in thumbnail pictures!

And the torch returns

The first game was one of the coolest I’ve ever seen. The discovered checkmate was pretty classy too…

I'm curious, what is the time control? If even there is one? Like, do these programs make moves in a couple of seconds or it takes some time?

I know I already made a comment but when do you use torch in the evaluation bar instead of stockfish or in game review?

I love Torch’s playing style. That first game was insane.

11:31 It’s this type of commentating that makes me love your content man😂

Only watched your channel for a short while, but Rock Lee dropping the weights is such a great reference I had to comment. Thank you for your great chess content.

I like the moment when torch said "It's torchin' time" and torched all over the other engines

Torch is playing like a modern day Tal.

Hey, Gotham, I think you should make a video playing the video game Shotgun King, I want to see how being good at chess affects your playing of Shotgun King.

Let's see how long will it take this time for Levy to change the title of video UPD: it took 21 minutes lol

Is it unhindered now like what bro huh

Levy communicating skills are awesome, can't feel the 30 min, just like a movie 😂❤

There was a free bishop against ethereal that didnt get taken

Levy, any way you could put the evaluation from both engines on screen? I'd love to see the difference in their evaluation of certain positions

Im not a human

torch is secretly mikhail tal

This is absolutely a 10 thousand elo. WTF!! And choosing the title is expertly done, well done Levy

Levy never fails to change the title

I love how levy uses Torch for free clout. But forgot the fact that Stockfish is still way ahead above every chess engines existed. The reason i don't validate Torch as a great chess engine is because it has yet to pit itself at the TCEC(World Championship of Chess Engines). And for the matter of fact,Torch struggles to calculate at longer time controls wherein Leela and Stockfish are heads and shoulders above everyone else. Stockfish vs Torch (CCC Blitz Final 3+2): 79-11 Stockfish Stockfish vs Leela (CCC Blitz Alternate Final 3+2): 87-4 Stockfish Stockfish vs Leela (CCC Rapid Finals 10+3): 37-9 Stockfish Stockfish vs Torch (CCC Rapid Alternate Final): 50-2 Stockfish These games that Torch won are rare cases of pair winnings. As much as it thrives at shorter time controls. It still needs a massive improvement at longer time controls hence i don't validate it yet as a great chess engine.

NGL, I weeped like a little child on chrismas getting his first xbox, when I saw the first game. Absolutely beautiful!

i love how stockfish thought its a draw and then he was like ohhhh crap this is losing

I ❤ AI content Levy, please keep it going please!!!

Levy never fails to fill me up with his juicy content.😋

Every time I'm waiting for something special from video with such title, but every time it's Levy and chess board.

love the bot competition videos

levy never fails to milk AI's for content

These AI videos getting super realistic Fly high Levy 🙏🙏🦅🦅

AI chatbots will never think of stealing pawns. They just don't.

Imagine if Levy had a low taper fade

flashy titles and clickbaits. Levy doesnt hesitate in losing self respect for money. Shameless behavior

Hi

That last game is like the decider between the carnivorous and mankind, with the latter's imminent demise on wager.

Levy used fire style jutsu It was super effective

Let's see if my 'Levy never fails to ...' comment goes viral.

That first game is a dream.

Watched almost every video for the last year, this one is my favourite

Would love to see a Torch win with Black!
