How to win: 1. Play pawn to e4 2. Use lifeline for all the other moves and do scholars mate.

Optimal cannonball strat appears to be to at least wait until the computer has made a few moves and for the most part not crossed half the board, then cannonball. Because doing it on the first move essentially allows the bot to then make moves accordingly, whereas getting a piece captured once they have established development could impact their position much more dramatically from a positional standpoint

27:50 *Casually draws a swastika with knights*

- Nelson: holds the evaluation bar equal after 10 moves. - Me: checkmated after move 2.

Idea: Chess against the highest rated bot, but you’re allowed to trade in your pieces to change the bot - for every point of material that you trade in (by just deleting off the board), you change the bot twice, going down in rating until you get to Martin.

Won my chess tournament!

I think reverse chess could be cool. Find a random position and first player to return their pieces (minus pawns) to the starting position wins

I like the creative ideas when playing chess, it adds a new flair to watching chess.

Here’s an idea, but I don’t know if the computer can be programmed to do it. How about every time you capture a piece, you have to demote that piece. For instance, if a queen captures a piece, now that queen is a rook. If a rook captures a piece, it turns into a bishop. If a bishop captures, it turns into a knight. And if a knight captures, it turns into a pawn. Could you beat Martin with such a restriction?

Hey chess vibes im a new sub and ive learned a lot from you. I have a challenge: chess but martin has some help. When he moves you spin a wheel to see what martin will do. The things that will help martin on the well are: one extra move, a rewind, a cannon, piece crate (basically drop a martin-side pawn in the center and if the both center squares are occupied then put the piece around the center) and the royal call (when martin has less than 4 pieces but you have more than 5 a martin side queen will drop on the up left and up right corner and can only apear on the well when the rules i named earlier are did corectly). Good luck

It would be cool to see a video analyzing the games you lost!

On the first game you could have sacrificed the bishop and Bxh7+. Then captured the pawn on e5. Then instead of being down a rook for a bishop you would have been down a bishop for two pawns and opened their king up a little.

Extra pawn is strong to end games, That is new Queen.

20:47 maybe knight to g8 sacrificing the knight in an attempt to protect the pawn into promotion. At least it gives you options

Fun Fact: Martin wont take a piece if its defended. Example: if the knight can take ur queen and a bishop is defending, martin wont take it. (WORKS 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME) AND WONT WORK IF HES IN CHECK

i mean it's surprising that it took 4 times to do win,I mean martin always hangs the queen. It should be obvious you can just atk his queen and change to martin

On the first Martin lifeline, around 6:30, I think you need to do something a bit crazy if you're going to put Martin in. Instead of exf4, why not Rb8 and hope to snipe the second rook with check? A Martin move only helps if you can get a colossal blunder out of the deal, tbh - without that, your cannonball could hit the queen and Stockfish would probably still beat you. (Back in 2020, Komodo beat Hikaru 5-0-3 when Hikaru had double-pawn odds, so fairness against a top GM is probably bishop or rook odds, somewhere in there. And you're good, but you're not Hikaru-tier good. So queen odds might be a decent game, but I think you're still the underdog there. You need a big blunder from Martin, not just a pawn or two.) Edit: Yeah, you started doing this later on, and it really helped.

He didn’t see a queen fork and didn’t see a free knight

Haven’t even watched the vid but know it’s a banger. Keep it up chessvibes, we all love you

At 4:22, why did you give up your rook? Seems like moving it to C3 and then taking the black square bishop after losing your knight was a good trade. What am I missing?

7:36 wouldn't placing the pawn on F7 fork one of the rooks with the king?

Nice idea! You could try playing against the max engine, but with the ability to promote on the 7th (or 2nd) rank.

Love these types of videos

20:31 “That Was A Bad Mistake.” Us Chess Players Would Call That A Blunder.

this vid is so entertaining 😂😂😂 great idea man

Let’s go Martin!!! SUPREME RULER!!! ✨🙇🏾✨

In the 1st game Martin stabbed Nelson in the back 😂

Absolutely incredible how much counterplay can stockfish create out of thin air with so few pieces

I'm pretty confident KRBN v KR is winning. Because black can't lose the rook for any of white's pieces, and it can't even trade it for the bishop and knight. So basically neither the King nor Rook can be captured, and you have three pieces with distinct movesets to try to form some tactic to win either of black's pieces.

Is there a reason why the fork at 29:12 doesn’t work? Ne7 kf8/kh8 Nf5?

I literally had the same playlist playing on Spotify and I thought Spotify didn’t stop lol

Stockfish Arcade Legends You play with white. Your game score starts at zero and goes up by one after each Stockfish turn for each point of material you control. Try to score big until Game Over. How high do you think you can score? Cash in your allowance for a roll of quarters. Thumbnail can feature pinball LED 3-letter name tag next to mystery high score.

I think the title should be Chess but Nelson has powers to defeat stockfish

Long story short: Yesn't.

Chess but Nelson has special powers will be a perfect title 😂

2:50 This is definitely where I would have called on Martin. He might not protect his queen and he might not take yours.

Challenge: Play stockfish in a "blitz ladder" tournament. Start with you having all of your pieces, and stockfish only has king and pawns, and play blitz. You should win easily. Then, start adding stockfish's pieces back, starting with the queen and working your way down, and see how far you can get before it beats you.

was there a rule about where you could place your pawn lifeline or at 7:39 could you not have just placed it on f7 with a fork?

29:07 Nxe7 is a royal fork right then why he didn't do it or am i missing something

4:20 why doesn't 1. bxh7+ kxh7 2. rxe5 work? that only loses a bishop, but you remove one of the attackers on your knight and simultaneously attack the bishop, forcing it to move.

4:22 I think Bxh7+ is the best move here Black will go Kxh7 and we go Rxe5 and knight is protected by rook on d1 We got 2 pawns and opponents king in a more dangerous positon for 1 bishop Thats probably the best we can do

Chess against stockfish, but it's 2 against 1. You play two boards against stockfish, one black and one white. When you capture on one board, you get to place the piece on the other board as in bughouse. When stockfish takes, it does not get the ability to place pieces. You must alternate boards you play on.

pawn f7+ 7:40 LOL

@ 4:18 why not move the rook away, for instance to b2? better to lose a knight than a rook

29:13 Hey chess vibes you missed a move knight to e7 is a fork Forking the king and the queen

At 4,20 in the video - would the rock to c3 be a better move then night to b3 ?

At 2:35 you can kill the horse with the e4 horse and do Martin you can before killed by the queen but the bishop can kill him

wasn't there a queen / king fork at 29:13? am i missing some lines, the eval bar didn't seem to think it mattered that much

"I'm up a rook" Doesn't bother moving either rook :D

the fork on queen and king with knight

At 3:36 in the video, you should have done knight takes e6

I'm confused, at 4:15 why not you just defend the knight with a pawn and trade everything?

Martin: How does it feel to be on the other side?

very fun video to watch. I actually was able to draw the 3200 engine with knight odds twice. 1 game I lost and then I draw 2 games. The second game I had a winning endgame of knight and bishop vs king but was few moves away to checkmate and draw due to 50 moves rule. but not with 3 pawns down as he was able to activate his queen and bishops quickly.

4:28 I think better move would be rook to c3 so then when he takes your knight, you take his bishop

31:37 2 unused castles and all kinds of threats but without a check so why didn't you develop a castle so it could be used

This is a cool challenge

8:30 missed mate in 2😂😂

20:27 i think rook to e1 was the best move

you should try chess but martin is your teammate against stockfish. You will make a move, but before stockfish goes Martin moves for you too. Then stockfish goes. Martin cant checkmate for you so if he does his turn is undone and skipped

If this engine is on practice mode I don't think it is rated 3200. It is more closely 2300-2500. The regular maximum engine isn't even rated 3200 its about 3000 so this one plays even faster so it's significantly weaker

29:05 There was a fork of king and queen

13:26 could've played Ng5 and switched to Martin. If takes, take the knight and it's an equal trade, if he doesn't take or defend mate you win

nah when the queen trade happened he should put the bisop on the check then martin move

Doss anyone noticed the royal fork?

how to win rules: your every move have alternate king move like 1.e4 e5 2.king move kc6 3.kf3 knf6 4.king move...etc😅

I thought you meant martin was gonna be working with you bro

at 15:55 is Ng5 a good move?

29:13 isn’t there a fork with the knight?

29:14 you miss a big fork my guy take a look

29:07 you just could play rock to e7 and its check and then he loses his queen

Martin banger

29:07 Did you not have a knight fork? Nxe7+ Does that not win a queen?

20:44 Rook to b2 saves the pawn.

29:09 you can fork with knight

What is the name of the background music?

19:54 Rh2 and Rh7

In the first game you could've won by letting the pawn advance to be queen because that would've been mate

29:05 should be a fork. Nxe7 to fork king and queen...how did you not see that? I think its because you are anxious and feel you are Gonna lose either way. . .

By the way the engine is not stockfish but rather Komodo (Slightly weaker than mittens)

youre thinking about the martin move wrong you have to attack his queen when its martins turn

When he lost his first rook he should of played knight e6

4:27 why not Rc3?

You shouldn’t use the cannon right away, you should wait until their pieces are developed so that a missing piece will ruin their structure. If you use it at the beginning, their structure isn’t gonna be damaged enough

4:27 Bxh7+ is probably the best move

Stockfish on his return from Martin "how much did I drink last night to end up in this position". Lol

At 29:14 why couldn’t you play knight to e7?

Missed putting the pawn on f7 and forking the king and the rook and the king can't take because it's protected by the rook on b7

29:10 royal fork??

At 2:26, why not B×f6 threatening the queen and change to martin hoping that martin would blunder the queen

11:01 stockfish missed en passant

29:16 missted a fork He7

love it 1 minute in.... a6 damn

A really important chess advise Nelson, if you are in trouble, think about all the options before you move.

37:27 you had d5, then d6 Edit: oh he played d5 after and stockfish actually gave up the night.

Pawn drop at f7 at 6:11 or 7:40 to fork the king and rook would have been winning

4:26 pawn c3 ???

Protect knight with c pawn 4:23

Wow im surprised u needed so many tries for this challenge
