    What an amazingly patient display .. knowing which threats are real or not is a major advantage computers have
  • @Kirmo13
    It's so funny how the king castled queen-side and then decieded that the king was better on it's original square, so white walks back the king to e1 haha
  • @rosiefay7283
    0:46 "if they did, they would usually end up playing all sorts of really boring things" I'd have thought that the reason they are made to start from a specified book position is that, otherwise, they would usually end up playing exactly the same really boring thing every time.

    Man this stockfish guy looks better than the world champion.
  • @jkid1134
    What I like about this one is that, for all the flak we give stockfish about playing counter-intuitive moves, everything it does here is very principled, geometric and intuitive the whole way through. This is that game every player dreams of when the sacrifice "should work" but is just out of reach, the only difference being stockfish's reach.

  • @walterbrownstone8017
    White King stayed in the center and watched all the fireworks and mayhem. I love those games. That was so brutal.

    Who else thought at 10:34 that Jonathan was just tricking us, but the correct move was Qxh4! Sorry Jonathan you have a bit of a reputation.... :)))
