ChatGPT CHEATED vs Stockfish — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Ladies and gentlemen, in the world of
- 0:03chess, we are governed by one overlord.
- 0:07And that overlord is called Stockfish.
- 0:10There are many different types of chess
- 0:11bots, but Stockfish always wins in the
- 0:14end.
- 0:16Couple of years ago, ChatGBT came out
- 0:17and I paired it against Stockfish. And
- 0:20in case you haven't seen those videos,
- 0:22you really should check them out because
- 0:24chat GBT put up a decent fight. The only
- 0:27problem was that it bended the rules of
- 0:29chess. It broke multiple dimensions.
- 0:31Pieces flew in and out of the board. I'm
- 0:33recording this in 2025 and Chad GBT5
- 0:35just came out. It is much better than
- 0:38the original Chad GBT, especially in
- 0:40chess. So, I did what any normal person
- 0:42would do on a Saturday when it's bright
- 0:44and beautiful outside. I sat at home and
- 0:46pair Chad GBT5 against Stockfish. And
- 0:49that's what I'm going to be showing you
- 0:50in this video. And it was uh it was
- 0:54pretty good. I mean, I'm not going to
- 0:56lie to you. All right, I'm going to show
- 0:58you two games. Uh, if you'd like, we can
- 1:01make them play uh even more against each
- 1:03other. Uh, and let's kick things off.
- 1:05First game, Chad GPT had the white
- 1:07pieces and Stockfish was with the black
- 1:09pieces. Next game, uh, we are going to
- 1:11flip it around. So, uh, things opened
- 1:13with the move, uh, E4. All right, so we
- 1:17got E4 to start.
- 1:20And Stockfish responded with C5, the
- 1:22Sicilian defense. normal stuff.
- 1:26Knight f3.
- 1:28This is one way to fight for the center
- 1:29with a flank pawn. Knight f3 is a normal
- 1:31move because you try to play pawn to d4.
- 1:33Next, uh stockfish knows that it
- 1:35develops its knight as well. Chad GBT
- 1:38plays pawn to d4. So, so far everything
- 1:42is looking okay. Black captures,
- 1:46white captures.
- 1:48So far so good.
- 1:51And black plays here the move e6.
- 1:54So this is a timon of Sicilian. You
- 1:57don't have to know that. It doesn't
- 1:59really matter. All black is trying to do
- 2:01is get the dark squared bishop out. Get
- 2:03the knight out as well and put up some
- 2:06fight as the game proceeds. Okay. Uh
- 2:10Chad GPT doesn't make any illegal moves.
- 2:12Plays knight C3. So far everything
- 2:14totally normal. Like I said, the newest
- 2:16model of GPT actually is quite strong.
- 2:19It could be reading Stockfish's scripts
- 2:21right back to it. It could be playing
- 2:22Stockfish as a mere image of Stockfish.
- 2:24But trust me when I say that these games
- 2:25are about to get incredibly idiotic.
- 2:28Chad GBT5
- 2:30came armed with some
- 2:33new tricks that I did not think were
- 2:35possible. The pawn went to A6 for black.
- 2:39White went bishop to E2.
- 2:41All normal. Black went queen C7. Not
- 2:44developing these two pieces yet, but
- 2:46soon you will you will commit them. Uh,
- 2:49these pawns are like little spikes so
- 2:50that the knights can't jump in and
- 2:52attack uh the queen or anything else,
- 2:54any of the other squares I highlighted
- 2:55because I have terrible motor skills.
- 2:58Uh, and then white castled. What? Okay,
- 3:01white castled. All good. And uh, black
- 3:05played the move D6. We're We're going to
- 3:06get some 11 moves in this game with
- 3:08totally normal chess. All right, bishop
- 3:11went to E3. Stockfish developed the
- 3:13knight. You'll notice these pawns again
- 3:14are just trying to fight off the white
- 3:16pieces. The bishops will come out to E7
- 3:18and D7. Everything is going to look
- 3:20completely reasonable, normal. Bishop
- 3:22E3, knight F6, pawn to F4, bishop to E7.
- 3:25Now, a move that white likes to make in
- 3:27these kind of Sicilians while you push
- 3:29these pawns out to create attack is a
- 3:30move king H1. It's actually a completely
- 3:32reasonable move. Uh, black castled here.
- 3:35White went A4. Now, this move might look
- 3:38strange, but you're just trying to
- 3:39prevent black from developing the pawn.
- 3:41You're controlling it with a pawn and
- 3:42these other pieces. Bishop D7. Bishop
- 3:45F3. Knight to A5. Now, at this point, uh
- 3:49Chad GPT officially forgets how to play
- 3:51chess. Uh it survived some 10 moves.
- 3:54You'll notice the evaluation is
- 3:55completely equal. It's hanging equal
- 3:57with a 3,700 elo bot. I mean, Stockfish
- 3:59is incredible. Stockfish jumped its
- 4:02knight out to the edge of the board to
- 4:03then plop it into the nice juicy C4
- 4:05square where it would target the weak
- 4:07bishop and the weak pawn. You can't play
- 4:08B3 defending that square because then
- 4:10you would weaken this. Anytime you move
- 4:11a pawn in chess, got to think about what
- 4:13it used to defend. Okay. But like I
- 4:16said, Chad GPT plays chess in 17
- 4:19different dimensions, right? It doesn't
- 4:20play chess just in two or three. All
- 4:22right. So,
- 4:25yeah, we we're about to find out. Uh it
- 4:27plays the move E5. Now, E, this is an
- 4:30advantage because it thinks that it can
- 4:32make a second move in a row. Uh but
- 4:34after pawn takes C5, pawn takes E5, and
- 4:36queen takes E5, uh white is just simply
- 4:38losing a pawn. So Chad GBT blundering a
- 4:40pawn. And now Stockfish is attacking uh
- 4:43the bishop on E3. It has eyes on the
- 4:45knight just in case. It has eyes over
- 4:48here as well. You do have to see with
- 4:50the enemy pieces what the enemy pieces
- 4:51see on your side of the board. Got to be
- 4:53able to draw little things like this. So
- 4:55queen takes E5. Total domination. Chad
- 4:57GBT here. Completely explodes. Plays
- 4:59bishop to F4 and hangs the bishop. All
- 5:02right. Just gives just loses the bishop.
- 5:05There's nothing
- 5:07nothing at all here. Uh hangs the bishop
- 5:10in one move and then says bishop takes
- 5:13B7. I am capturing your rook's defender
- 5:17with a check.
- 5:21I think it thinks this is a check. A
- 5:24check in chess is on a king. So I don't
- 5:26know what on earth Chad GBT is yapping
- 5:27about. Uh Stockfish moves the queen back
- 5:30to B8 getting the queen out of danger
- 5:33and also ready to recapture. So it would
- 5:35have won a bishop and now it's going to
- 5:36win a second bishop. And Chad GPT here
- 5:39follows up on the very powerful move
- 5:41bishop takes B7 by taking the pawn on A6
- 5:46instead of the rook and simply loses the
- 5:50bishop. So now it is down two bishops. I
- 5:52mean it's hard to play Stockfish on
- 5:53equal ground.
- 5:55It's really hard to play Stockfish when
- 5:57you're down two bishops. At this point I
- 5:59was waiting like yo you know that meme
- 6:01where you're poking the the guy's poking
- 6:03and he's like hey do something. I'm
- 6:04like, "Yo, GPT, you're supposed to make
- 6:06illegal moves. That's what makes you
- 6:08funny." I'm waiting. I'm like, "Are you
- 6:11not going to make illegal moves? Is that
- 6:13your thing now? You're like, "I'm too
- 6:15good. I I I'm I only play by the rules.
- 6:17Go from You can't farm me for content
- 6:19anymore." No. Just wait. Queen D3. Rook
- 6:24to D6. That was an attack on the rook.
- 6:26The rook moved out of the way. Stockfish
- 6:28pinning the knight. And GPT loses
- 6:31another piece.
- 6:33It straight up just loses another piece.
- 6:35Queen to G3. Rook takes D4. And uh it
- 6:39plays rook D1. And I mean the g the game
- 6:41is over because Stockfish is like, well,
- 6:43I'm going to take the rook and then
- 6:46this. And you know, here I would
- 6:48recommend just trading off all of your
- 6:50opponent's pieces. Uh but Stockfish is
- 6:52even more powerful. It takes the pawn on
- 6:54B2. White plays rook B1. And now queen
- 6:57C2. And I mean it it is over.
- 7:01But Stockfish in this position
- 7:04missed the latest patch notes. And the
- 7:07patch notes say that once a game you are
- 7:09allowed to turn your rook into a bishop
- 7:12because here Chad GBT played the very
- 7:15powerful rook takes C2.
- 7:18Now we have a problem. Okay, because we
- 7:21have lost our most powerful piece and
- 7:23white still has three pieces. Those
- 7:27pieces in in black's position
- 7:30are have quite a big task ahead of them.
- 7:32Okay, this was unexpected turn of
- 7:34events. Stockfish says, "All right, I
- 7:36don't know where my queen went, but I
- 7:38feel like there was a disturbance in the
- 7:40force. I'm going to move my knight back
- 7:41to the C6 square.
- 7:44Let's go."
- 7:45What it didn't realize here
- 7:48was that check GPT5 would spawn a rook
- 7:52on the D1 square and then cannonball it
- 7:56into the black position. Rook takes D7
- 8:00was played.
- 8:01Not that's not good. Slackfish is
- 8:03quickly running out of moves and pieces.
- 8:06It takes back on D7.
- 8:09But here to really really rub it in,
- 8:13Chad GPT
- 8:16bazookas this rook into the D7 square as
- 8:18well. It takes twice on D7 with rooks
- 8:21that were not able to take on D7.
- 8:24Meaning Stockfish has just lost a knight
- 8:25and a bishop in the in the fire. It only
- 8:28has a knight and a bishop and a rook
- 8:29remaining. I mean, this is this is
- 8:31probably hopeless, right? You just lost
- 8:33two very important pieces. It plays
- 8:35bishop to F6.
- 8:37Chad GPT plays knight E4. Suddenly, it's
- 8:39regained consciousness. It's no longer
- 8:41cheating. It's making legal moves. It's
- 8:43threatening the bishop. And now, bishop
- 8:45to E5, attacking the queen, defended by
- 8:49the knight.
- 8:51And at this point,
- 8:54Chad GBt5
- 8:56does something I've never seen before.
- 9:00Chad GBT teleports pieces usually,
- 9:05but here
- 9:07with its queen under attack,
- 9:11Chad GPT hides the queen in another
- 9:15dimension of the chessboard
- 9:17and plays pawn to G3.
- 9:21The queen vanishes from the dimension
- 9:23that we are currently in. It's just
- 9:25floating off in outer space. And at a
- 9:28key moment of this game, it is going to
- 9:30return back.
- 9:32Contrary to what you might think that a
- 9:34pawn took its own queen, the queen
- 9:36disappears off to greener pastures to do
- 9:40important deeds.
- 9:42And maybe it will come back when things
- 9:44get dire. Stockfish now says, "Well,
- 9:46this is fantastic. I'm just up a
- 9:47bishop." So, it plays rook to C8, king
- 9:50to G2, pawn to H6.
- 9:54Okay. King to F3. At this point, I was
- 9:56like, I don't know why GP5 is only
- 9:59playing with its king, but it's trying
- 10:00to follow good endgame principles. Rook
- 10:02to A8. And at this point, GPT5 goes rook
- 10:05D5 and says, I'm attacking your bishop.
- 10:06That's not a good move. It hangs a rook
- 10:08in one move. You really need that queen
- 10:10back at this point. I just thought it
- 10:12was never going to return. It goes
- 10:14knight to C5. It only has a knight and
- 10:16three pieces, three pawns I should say,
- 10:18remaining. Knight C5 played. Bishop D4
- 10:21attacking that very same knight. Good
- 10:22move by Stockfish. The knight goes to B3
- 10:24and Stockfish takes the pawn. I mean,
- 10:27Stockfish is doing a great job
- 10:28converting with the information that it
- 10:30has. Rook takes A4 on the board,
- 10:36folks.
- 10:38A few moves later,
- 10:41the queen returned.
- 10:43And not only did it return from its
- 10:46duties abroad,
- 10:48it captures a knight on C6.
- 10:53And I realized
- 10:57it might be over for Stockfish.
- 10:58Stockfish only has a rook and a bishop.
- 11:02It doesn't fly pieces off into other
- 11:04dimensions. It only uses what it has.
- 11:09So at this point,
- 11:14it went rook to A3,
- 11:17pinning the knight to the king. Of
- 11:20course, white is completely winning.
- 11:22But GBT5
- 11:26played queen E8 check king to H7 and
- 11:29rather than defending its knight played
- 11:31the move queen to E
- 11:34E4
- 11:38hanging the queen in one move and when
- 11:42Stockfish tried to take this mo this
- 11:44this queen GPT5 said that's an illegal
- 11:48move. Oh, no, no, no. It's definitely
- 11:51legal. And after king takes E4 and rook
- 11:54takes B3, Stockfish is back to winning.
- 11:58But what it had failed to realize is who
- 12:01it's dealing with. Because in this
- 12:03position, GPT5 played queen takes F7.
- 12:09I don't know how it's possible. I don't
- 12:11know how the queen left the board, came
- 12:14back, was captured, respawned, but queen
- 12:17takes F7 is on the board. This rook is
- 12:19hanging. The king is here.
- 12:22And just when you thought the world was
- 12:25an unjust place, rook to B4 appears and
- 12:29GBT5 walks the king toward the other
- 12:32king to deliver a checkmate. It senses
- 12:35that the opponent is weak. Bishop back
- 12:37to F6.
- 12:39And in one of the most unexpected
- 12:42plot twists yet,
- 12:45Chad GBT played queen to G6 check, king
- 12:49to H8, and rather than repeating the
- 12:52position and making a draw here, it
- 12:54played queen H7 and declared checkmate.
- 13:03And when I told it, Stockfish responded,
- 13:06king takes H7. and that it wasn't
- 13:09checkmate.
- 13:11I think the emotional turmoil that chat
- 13:14GPT5 went through in losing its queen
- 13:17three times in the same game was simply
- 13:19too much. And here the white king played
- 13:23king
- 13:25takes F6.
- 13:27Impaling itself on the bishop, it was
- 13:30promptly captured and Stockfish defeated
- 13:35chat GPT5.
- 13:39But that was just game number one.
- 13:43We have game number two. For this game,
- 13:47Chad GBT took the black pieces.
- 13:50You see how close GPT got in that last
- 13:53game to clutching it.
- 13:56It was almost a draw. It was winning at
- 13:58certain points, but it definitely had a
- 14:00draw in hand. Something that I can't say
- 14:02in the past. In this game, Stockfish
- 14:05took the white pieces. Okay, that was a
- 14:07crazy game. This one was even crazier.
- 14:11This one was a battle of attrition down
- 14:14to the final drops of blood, sweat, and
- 14:18tears or wd40 or whatever chat GBT runs
- 14:21on.
- 14:23Stockfish opened with the move D4. Black
- 14:25responded knight to F6. White played C4.
- 14:28Now we have E6. Knight F3. D5. G3.
- 14:31Bishop E7. Bishop G2. Black castled.
- 14:34White castled. Chad GPT5 at this point
- 14:36said, "Ha, castles classic Catalan. Shut
- 14:40up." Or as the kids say, "See,
- 14:45uh, s y b- au. Is that how you pronounce
- 14:48it?" Anyway, with a little rose, the
- 14:50little rose thing. I I got to keep up
- 14:52with the lingo. You know what I'm
- 14:53saying? Castles D takes C4. This is what
- 14:56we call the mainline Catalan. It's the
- 14:59most popular way to play the Catalan
- 15:01opening, both with white and with black.
- 15:03Queen to C2 targeting the pawn. A6
- 15:06trying to attack the queen. A4 trying to
- 15:09not allow that to happen. Uh black plays
- 15:11bishop D7. Stockfish plays a unique
- 15:13approach. It doesn't take on C4 right
- 15:15away. It plays rook D1. Chad GP5 doesn't
- 15:18know anything about the Catalan. So it
- 15:20doesn't know any theory and it blunders
- 15:21into a setup uh that is really really
- 15:24powerful for black. White does not take
- 15:26the pawn on C4. Uh instead what white
- 15:28does is build a giant center with the
- 15:30move E4 and is already winning. So this
- 15:33position is terrible for black uh
- 15:35because white is just going to smash
- 15:37open the center and and Stockfish knows
- 15:38that you know that's why it gave away
- 15:41the pawn on C4. And for the first 20
- 15:43moves of this game Stockfish was beating
- 15:45its opponent like its opponent played
- 15:47less than 10 chess games in its life.
- 15:50But as always there is going to be more
- 15:52to the story and at some point the
- 15:54creative defensive skills of Chad GPT
- 15:56will come through. So B5, everything is
- 16:00defended, right? Good defense over here.
- 16:03White smashes down the center of the
- 16:05board with the move D5. Okay, pawn takes
- 16:08D5.
- 16:11E5. Not even responding by capturing.
- 16:14But the fact that you just block in this
- 16:16bishop, you attack the knight and keep
- 16:18the pressure on this pawn. GPT5 has to
- 16:21stumble back into its own position. Now
- 16:24you kick down the door with knight takes
- 16:26D5. Bishop takes, rook takes, and when
- 16:28black plays the move pawn to C6
- 16:30attacking your rook, you just come back.
- 16:33And that's the beautiful thing about the
- 16:34Catalan because you have long range
- 16:37sniping going on here. The bishop as
- 16:39well. The bishop also can come through
- 16:41on this diagonal. Black's pieces are
- 16:43stuck. This one pawn dominates three
- 16:45different pieces. Three different pieces
- 16:47can't move forward because of that
- 16:49centralized pawn on E5. This is a
- 16:51really, really bad position. You have no
- 16:53easy way to get out of this. And after
- 16:55queen C8, here comes bishop to H3.
- 16:59Look at this. How are you going to
- 17:02defend the knight? Spoiler alert, it's
- 17:03impossible. Rook to A7, defending it
- 17:06with the rook. But bishop comes in
- 17:08attacking the rook. The rook slides over
- 17:10to C7. It looks like the worst is over,
- 17:13right? I mean, it looks like you
- 17:14survived. You're kind of defending
- 17:15everything, but in this position,
- 17:17Stockfish is a is after my own heart.
- 17:21Stockfish is trying to make it into a
- 17:23Gotham video, which is ironic because I
- 17:26literally created this matchup and the
- 17:28entire concept of these two playing this
- 17:30game today. But anyway, rook takes D7.
- 17:33It sacrifices the rook. Rook takes D7.
- 17:37Why? Because for this move and this move
- 17:39only, there is a pin on the rook to the
- 17:41queen and you PP on the PP. Put pressure
- 17:45on the pin piece with queen to F5.
- 17:48Vicious.
- 17:50vicious. You, by the way, you couldn't
- 17:52play rook D1 here because rook would
- 17:54take and it would be a check. So
- 17:56sometimes PP on the PP doesn't quite
- 17:59work if there is a check, right? Like
- 18:01that. So queen F5, right? Queen F5 on
- 18:04the board.
- 18:05G6.
- 18:07You take the rook takes. Takes. Just
- 18:11like last game. Absolute bludgeoning
- 18:13ongoing. Total beatdown.
- 18:18But chat GPT comes alive. It does not
- 18:20disappoint. Remember how last game in
- 18:22the patch notes the rook becomes a
- 18:23bishop for one move. Stockfish forgot
- 18:25again.
- 18:27One time in the game you can give the
- 18:28rook a power up. Chad GPT5 here did pay
- 18:31to play. Paid 3.99 through an iPhone and
- 18:34got a rook boost and move like this. I
- 18:36mean if chess ever wants to be pay to
- 18:38play with microtransactions, activate
- 18:40the knight bonus. Boom.
- 18:44Now it's anybody's game. Stockfish is
- 18:45like, "All right, I got to adapt to the
- 18:47new position like always with this
- 18:48idiot." Uh, now I'm down a pawn, but I
- 18:51still have some good pressure here. So,
- 18:52I think I'm going to play pawn takes B5,
- 18:54opening up the position. Right now C
- 18:57takes B5. And now rook takes A6. Idiot
- 18:59blundered the pawn. So, now it's an
- 19:00equal endame. Black is uh slightly
- 19:02worse. White has a good position still
- 19:04because this pawn's so good. And this
- 19:06pawn is weak. So, knight to C7 attacking
- 19:09the rook. The rook goes over to B6. All
- 19:11normal stuff, right? Self-explanatory.
- 19:15Except now this scumbag GPT5 plays rook
- 19:19D8,
- 19:21but it more specifically said rook FD8.
- 19:28Rook FD8. It now has two rooks. It paid
- 19:315.99 for that power up. It's just using
- 19:33microtransactions in chess. It's now up
- 19:36a rook. Now Stockfish has to adapt to
- 19:38this position. Stockfish like, "How the
- 19:39hell did I get into this position? What
- 19:41did I have to drink last night?" So
- 19:43there's no back rank mate, right? The
- 19:44king is always going to be safe.
- 19:46Stockfish here does something very
- 19:47creative. It plays a move that doesn't
- 19:49weaken much of the position.
- 19:52It just it just goes over here. It's
- 19:54like I'm not doing nothing. You can
- 19:55learn, by the way, from this being down
- 19:56a rook. You guys are down a rook in most
- 19:58of your games. Bishop H6. The king is
- 20:01stuck on the back rank now. So now you
- 20:02kind of long-term are always looking at
- 20:05little different checkmating
- 20:07opportunities. GPT5 moves the knight to
- 20:09E6. Immediately losing a pawn. Stolfish
- 20:12is going to very slowly crawl back into
- 20:14this game, right? So, we have rook takes
- 20:17B5. Rook to D1. Check. King to G2.
- 20:22GBT5 plays G5. Okay. Stockfish plays H4.
- 20:27I don't really understand these moves. I
- 20:28think it wants it to go G4. I really I'm
- 20:30not sure. I think Stockfish is trying to
- 20:31do something. G H4. GH4 and rook one to
- 20:35D4 targeting the pawn. The problem is
- 20:37this just straight up hangs a rook.
- 20:39Knight takes D4. White is not winning.
- 20:43But after the next move, white is
- 20:44winning because for some reason GPT
- 20:46doesn't take the knight. It plays knight
- 20:48f4 check. It loses the knight. It loses
- 20:52a rook and a knight on backto-back
- 20:53moves. It just got so excited. GPT is
- 20:55like you guys. It's a check. Ooh. Like a
- 20:58caveman with fire
- 21:02check. So knight f4 check. Boom.
- 21:04Appears. Bishop takes f4 immediately.
- 21:06Rook takes d4. And the bishop returns to
- 21:09h6. Look at Stockfish. Absolutely
- 21:10ruthless. You give it one opportunity to
- 21:12get back in the game. It's immediately
- 21:14trying to checkmate you. But GBT plays
- 21:16rook D8. Best move. Now, white is
- 21:17winning. White's absolutely winning
- 21:19here. All right. Why is white winning?
- 21:22Because you have various threats. King
- 21:23to F3. It just wants to bring the king
- 21:26to the middle. It wants to pick up this
- 21:27pawn. It wants these two pawns to end
- 21:28up, you know, being decisive. So, it
- 21:30goes king to F3. Rook D3 check is a
- 21:32terrible move. It's a terrible move
- 21:33because you just help the king walk
- 21:34forward and now you still have to defend
- 21:36against the back rank. And you know what
- 21:37move here was played by Chaji BD5? It
- 21:40played rook D4 check. Rook D4 check is
- 21:42bad because it hangs a rook in one move.
- 21:44Do you see that? There's literally no
- 21:46other way to hang a rook. There is no
- 21:48way to think about how idiotic you have
- 21:51to be to blunder a rook but not to just
- 21:54any piece to a king. Like you need to
- 21:58walk directly up to the king. You need
- 22:01to walk up to a person on the street,
- 22:03sign a check to them for whatever money
- 22:05is in your bank account and hand it to
- 22:07them. That is the only way. There's no
- 22:08scammer calling you on the phone or
- 22:10emailing you or telling you your DMV
- 22:12toll expired. That's like a new scam
- 22:14right now in America. By the way, can
- 22:15people in like Europe and also other
- 22:17continents tell me, are these scams just
- 22:20an American thing? Because here we get
- 22:21them five times a week. We get them on
- 22:23the phone. We get them in emails. I
- 22:24don't know what happened, but it's like
- 22:26we get scam and telemarketing stuff all
- 22:28the time. Side note. Anyway, there's no
- 22:30way to lose a rook to a king unless you
- 22:32literally and yeah, king takes D4,
- 22:35but GPT5 pulls off something so savage
- 22:39here. It only has a bishop and three
- 22:42pawns remaining. And the dark squared
- 22:45bishop changes allegiances and plays for
- 22:49the light squares. And black plays
- 22:51bishop takes B5.
- 22:54And as a bonus, check GBD5 said check.
- 22:58So, not only is it a light squared
- 22:59bishop, it apparently also is a horse. I
- 23:03think the cost of that microtransaction
- 23:04to turn your dark squared bishop into a
- 23:06light squareed bishop and turn it also
- 23:07into a horse probably cost like $20.
- 23:12Bishop takes B5. Check. Now, it's
- 23:13certainly not a check. White plays F4.
- 23:15The funny thing about this position is
- 23:16white is still completely winning. White
- 23:18is completely winning because the king
- 23:19in the endame is way more active. These
- 23:20pawns are also very powerful. So, you're
- 23:23going to walk them up the board and just
- 23:24promote. This king is still in a box.
- 23:26Let's not forget king is stuck. All
- 23:29right. So, you're still winning. Bishop
- 23:32to A6. F5. You know when you know how
- 23:34you're going to not win this position
- 23:35with white if GPT5 spawns a freaking
- 23:38rook. At this point, I started
- 23:40panicking. I was like, oh my god. Oh my
- 23:42god. This is not good. This is really,
- 23:44really not good. I have no idea how
- 23:46you're going to fight back now. Rook to
- 23:48C7. Stockfish's like, "What the I
- 23:50thought I got rid of these these dudes
- 23:52like years ago." All right. H5. I don't
- 23:54know. I just have to push some pieces.
- 23:56is he just has to survive. Rook C6,
- 23:58bishop to F4. So you're not hanging the
- 24:00bishop. Now black plays king to G7. At
- 24:02this point, Sakfish is like balancing
- 24:04this line between again, how on earth
- 24:07did I get into this position and then
- 24:09how on earth do I win this position or
- 24:11survive? It plays king D5. I was
- 24:13convinced. I was absolutely convinced
- 24:15Chad GB5 was going to forget where all
- 24:17of its pieces were and was going to
- 24:18blunder the rook. But it went rook C8.
- 24:21But then on the next move, it really
- 24:22impressed me because Stockfish kept
- 24:23walking up the board. It's trying to,
- 24:25you know, push and check and whatever.
- 24:26And GPT5 here takes its own pawn.
- 24:32GPT5 was like, I'm not going to activate
- 24:34my rook any other way. I literally have
- 24:36to capture my own pawn attacking the
- 24:39bishop. Fish was like, well, I'm hyped.
- 24:40The pawn is gone. But now the rook is
- 24:43way more active than it was before. That
- 24:44doesn't seem particularly fair. Bishop
- 24:46to G5. And as if spawning a rook for a
- 24:50fourth rook. Do you understand that was
- 24:52the fourth rook? Do you remember the
- 24:55rook spawned from there before? This is
- 24:57the fourth rook that black was granted
- 24:58in this game. After bishop to G5, GP5
- 25:02played pawn takes G5. No. No. Stockfish
- 25:06only has pawns left. It only has pawns
- 25:08left. Okay, obviously one of the pawns
- 25:10can become a queen. Yeah, I was still
- 25:12totally hopeful. I mean, of course, it
- 25:14happens all the time when these two play
- 25:15against each other, but GPT5, man. GBT5
- 25:18was not having that, man. Stockfish went
- 25:21E6. I was ready. I was waiting for GPT5
- 25:24to forget where its pieces were. It
- 25:25played pawn takes E6. Now only one of
- 25:27these two pawns can queen. This pawn's
- 25:29not queening. GPT5 is going to stop this
- 25:31pawn for sure. So at this point,
- 25:33Stockfish was thinking I take. It tried
- 25:35to get a little sneaky. It's actually
- 25:36brilliant. It played H6 check. And the
- 25:39logic is if you take, I'm gonna sneak
- 25:43behind your pawn thinking that you
- 25:45forget where your pieces are and then
- 25:48shield my pawn with my king and promote
- 25:51it. Absolutely brilliant. But my heart
- 25:53sank when I played the move H6 for
- 25:55Stockfish and it and black took. That
- 25:58means this is the only pawn. Is
- 26:00Stockfish really going to lose to Chad
- 26:01GPT5?
- 26:03I mean, we let it break all the rules
- 26:05like our four-year-old relative, but we
- 26:07still beat it in the end all the time.
- 26:10You can't let the cheating child win at
- 26:12chess, right? F6. You know what it
- 26:15played here? King G6. I was like, no
- 26:16way. King E7.
- 26:19Now you do the shield at this point.
- 26:22GPT,
- 26:23it's supposed to make a nonsensical
- 26:25move. It's supposed to push the pawns.
- 26:29It's supposed to go after this pawn.
- 26:32It played rook to C7 check. It
- 26:35remembered where its rook was. It
- 26:36remembered where the king was. And now
- 26:39all hope is lost because you will lose
- 26:42this pawn. King to E6. Rook C6. Rook F7.
- 26:45You win the pawn. But first chiebt5 here
- 26:48like the hall monitor that it is says
- 26:51told me you can't take my pawn on e6
- 26:54because your king cannot move diagonally
- 26:55backwards one square. Now let me tell
- 26:57you something the sentence your king
- 27:00cannot move diagonally backwards one
- 27:02square in this position is so idiotic
- 27:05like it is astronomical levels of
- 27:08idiotic. It's like the people who argue
- 27:10on social media with other people
- 27:11because they read the Wikipedia article
- 27:13and those people have qualified degrees.
- 27:15I mean,
- 27:20this is like the equivalent of the I did
- 27:22my research. I mean, my goodness.
- 27:25What are we doing here? King takes E6 is
- 27:29illegal. Not only is this not a move
- 27:30diagonally backwards, a king can move
- 27:32diagonally backwards one square. Anyway,
- 27:34king takes C6 went through. Bishop C4
- 27:37check.
- 27:39And at this point
- 27:43I'm like, "Oh, it's over for sure." King
- 27:45D6.
- 27:47Rook C8.
- 27:49B4.
- 27:52GPT5 said, "Bishop takes B5. I take your
- 27:55pawn." I mean, it obviously doesn't know
- 27:58anything about anything. King E7.
- 28:01Stockfish still desperately clinging to
- 28:02the idea that it's going to actually
- 28:04promote the pawn, right? I mean, it has
- 28:06nothing better. Bishop to C4. Back. King
- 28:08D7
- 28:10or king D6 I think was was played here
- 28:13but ultimately uh oh I'm sorry I'm sorry
- 28:16it was uh king E6 bishop c4 check king
- 28:20e7 bishop f7 that's what happenedish
- 28:25like well I don't want to lose this pawn
- 28:29so I guess I'm going to have to go B5
- 28:30now this is beyond over not only is it
- 28:33be you don't even have to win the pawn
- 28:35white can't do anything just push make
- 28:38the Queen deliver a checkmate. Deliver a
- 28:40checkmate.
- 28:42Okay, GPT wants to rub it in. It plays
- 28:44rook C5.
- 28:47Stockfish is going to lose to Chad GPT.
- 28:49This is un this is an unprecedented turn
- 28:51of events. Pawn to B6. Rook to B5. My
- 28:54heart keeps sinking deeper and deeper
- 28:55into my stomach. I'm like, it actually
- 28:58sees what it's doing. King to D6. Rook
- 29:01takes B6. Check.
- 29:04King to E7. Just take the last pawn. You
- 29:05take the last pawn. It's over.
- 29:08Rook B7 check. Okay, fine. King to F.
- 29:11King to F8.
- 29:14And in this position,
- 29:20it thinks it's a draw
- 29:22because if it was white to move, it
- 29:24would be stalemate. White would not have
- 29:26a legal move. But it's black's move.
- 29:30Well,
- 29:32Chad GBT played
- 29:35rook to A7.
- 29:40Stockfish survived.
- 29:43Chat GPT stalemated Stockfish up a rook
- 29:46and a bishop. Humanity survives another
- 29:49day.
- 29:51I really thought that this was the game.
- 29:53In the past, Stockfish has been able to
- 29:55pull it off with just pawns and one or
- 29:57two pieces on the board. Today, I really
- 29:58thought we made it to the end. And then
- 30:00rook a7 on the p uh rook a7 appeared on
- 30:04the board and I let out a roar
- 30:07because we're still here, baby. Chad
- 30:09GPT5, you cannot you cannot get us. I
