Unexpectation by stockfish. From the middle game, I guess the Ruby will win because of the center pawn. Finally, Stockfish counter attack and win the game. Nice games.
Yes Sir I also don't like no castling chess as the game becomes more tactical rather than positional. From the AlphaZero papers my favourite Variant is self capture chess. What's your favourite variant Sir from The Alpha Zero papers?❤️💓
Small trivia. The actual primitive version of modern chess was invented in India(around 6th century, during the rule of Gupta empire) and it is called "Chaturanga". In that version of chess, castling rights were forbidden. Fun to see same thing reinstated here in computer chess.😄
What if castling was introduced for a reason? 🤔
I kinda like it actually
Of course, no-castling chess is a good supplement, but I dislike that it overshadows some traditional or historically significant chess variants like Shatranj where a game without castling proceeds naturally.
Always an “instant like” when I come to this channel.
Jozarov, go look at the Deepmind paper (PDF) about how AlphaZero evaluates ten chess variants. It’s a fascinating, in depth consideration of these ideas. (And I suggest don’t bother with the chess.com TL;DR, they just dumb it down too much.)
14th World Champion Vladimir Kramnik suggested that "No castling" rule would curtail draws and bring back a freshness and creativity that we are losing with computer analysis and extensive human theory. Kramnik thought that David Bronstein had also brought the subject up many years before.
Personally, I'd favor "no castling" over Fisher Random (Chess960).
Not castling just requires a different approach to getting the rooks mobilized and protecting the King of course. I'm not one to automatically castle and often leave my King central until I feel the need to put him away. I don't lose games unnecessarily due to this approach.
It´s something if the players focus on how to attack the king, just slows down the game if the players focus on how to make the king safe.
You can always artificial castle in this version
I understood “fight,” and the last one, “fatality,” but I wasn’t sure what the middle one was. Can anyone tell me, please? I’m familiar with it being from “Mortal Combat,” but I’m not that acquainted with it.
And excellent coverage as always, Jozo. An interesting game, great coverage of the difference in strength between the two engines and how SF’s tactics were stronger and that it made ideal choices to enter a favorable endgame without giving too much to Black (such as a stronger center) to do so.
Chess is the best, of course!!
Wonderful game bro.
I can't see much point analysing no castling games when no one plays like that, other than noting that computers don't castle artificially.
Not interested in these variants when we still haven't conquered the present game.
"No castling" reminds me to Sultan Khan, who became GM without castling. But i prefer castling 😆. Regards
… Pathetic …
Made me laugh 😆
the opening evals in no castling chess is not that different from normal chess. so should be a decent opening with the same handicap for both black and white.of course its difficult for humans who are not used to it practically because there are some different tactics in openings
Really exciting end situation! Thanks a lot for explanations and exciting video.👍
In my opinion castling is one of the most beautiful moves in chess, I agree with you that the advantage for White could be even higher in the variant no castling chess. The only change I can imagine to be integrated in modern chess is stalemate equals a win.
In most cases, I will not prefer to Castling too shortly in the early game. It may suggest that you are giving your opponent a hint to exposed the weakness of your castle. For instance, when you castle on the kingside, you are giving your opponent to play on the G and H file. And when you castle on the queenside, you are giving your opponent to play on the A and B file. I don't even prefer to play castling on the entire game as if you are giving your opponent a hard time to outplay your game. I still prefer a king prophylactic move than castling. Nowadays, castling is too explored and exposed tactic and strategy.
Please consider analyzing Stockfish's win against Leela from TCEC in DivP
It’s odd that the game went so quickly into the endgame.
