  1. 0:00Ladies and gentlemen, in the world of
  2. 0:03chess, we are governed by one overlord.
  3. 0:07And that overlord is called Stockfish.
  4. 0:10There are many different types of chess
  5. 0:11bots, but Stockfish always wins in the
  6. 0:14end.
  7. 0:16Couple of years ago, ChatGBT came out
  8. 0:17and I paired it against Stockfish. And
  9. 0:20in case you haven't seen those videos,
  10. 0:22you really should check them out because
  11. 0:24chat GBT put up a decent fight. The only
  12. 0:27problem was that it bended the rules of
  13. 0:29chess. It broke multiple dimensions.
  14. 0:31Pieces flew in and out of the board. I'm
  15. 0:33recording this in 2025 and Chad GBT5
  16. 0:35just came out. It is much better than
  17. 0:38the original Chad GBT, especially in
  18. 0:40chess. So, I did what any normal person
  19. 0:42would do on a Saturday when it's bright
  20. 0:44and beautiful outside. I sat at home and
  21. 0:46pair Chad GBT5 against Stockfish. And
  22. 0:49that's what I'm going to be showing you
  23. 0:50in this video. And it was uh it was
  24. 0:54pretty good. I mean, I'm not going to
  25. 0:56lie to you. All right, I'm going to show
  26. 0:58you two games. Uh, if you'd like, we can
  27. 1:01make them play uh even more against each
  28. 1:03other. Uh, and let's kick things off.
  29. 1:05First game, Chad GPT had the white
  30. 1:07pieces and Stockfish was with the black
  31. 1:09pieces. Next game, uh, we are going to
  32. 1:11flip it around. So, uh, things opened
  33. 1:13with the move, uh, E4. All right, so we
  34. 1:17got E4 to start.
  35. 1:20And Stockfish responded with C5, the
  36. 1:22Sicilian defense. normal stuff.
  37. 1:26Knight f3.
  38. 1:28This is one way to fight for the center
  39. 1:29with a flank pawn. Knight f3 is a normal
  40. 1:31move because you try to play pawn to d4.
  41. 1:33Next, uh stockfish knows that it
  42. 1:35develops its knight as well. Chad GBT
  43. 1:38plays pawn to d4. So, so far everything
  44. 1:42is looking okay. Black captures,
  45. 1:46white captures.
  46. 1:48So far so good.
  47. 1:51And black plays here the move e6.
  48. 1:54So this is a timon of Sicilian. You
  49. 1:57don't have to know that. It doesn't
  50. 1:59really matter. All black is trying to do
  51. 2:01is get the dark squared bishop out. Get
  52. 2:03the knight out as well and put up some
  53. 2:06fight as the game proceeds. Okay. Uh
  54. 2:10Chad GPT doesn't make any illegal moves.
  55. 2:12Plays knight C3. So far everything
  56. 2:14totally normal. Like I said, the newest
  57. 2:16model of GPT actually is quite strong.
  58. 2:19It could be reading Stockfish's scripts
  59. 2:21right back to it. It could be playing
  60. 2:22Stockfish as a mere image of Stockfish.
  61. 2:24But trust me when I say that these games
  62. 2:25are about to get incredibly idiotic.
  63. 2:28Chad GBT5
  64. 2:30came armed with some
  65. 2:33new tricks that I did not think were
  66. 2:35possible. The pawn went to A6 for black.
  67. 2:39White went bishop to E2.
  68. 2:41All normal. Black went queen C7. Not
  69. 2:44developing these two pieces yet, but
  70. 2:46soon you will you will commit them. Uh,
  71. 2:49these pawns are like little spikes so
  72. 2:50that the knights can't jump in and
  73. 2:52attack uh the queen or anything else,
  74. 2:54any of the other squares I highlighted
  75. 2:55because I have terrible motor skills.
  76. 2:58Uh, and then white castled. What? Okay,
  77. 3:01white castled. All good. And uh, black
  78. 3:05played the move D6. We're We're going to
  79. 3:06get some 11 moves in this game with
  80. 3:08totally normal chess. All right, bishop
  81. 3:11went to E3. Stockfish developed the
  82. 3:13knight. You'll notice these pawns again
  83. 3:14are just trying to fight off the white
  84. 3:16pieces. The bishops will come out to E7
  85. 3:18and D7. Everything is going to look
  86. 3:20completely reasonable, normal. Bishop
  87. 3:22E3, knight F6, pawn to F4, bishop to E7.
  88. 3:25Now, a move that white likes to make in
  89. 3:27these kind of Sicilians while you push
  90. 3:29these pawns out to create attack is a
  91. 3:30move king H1. It's actually a completely
  92. 3:32reasonable move. Uh, black castled here.
  93. 3:35White went A4. Now, this move might look
  94. 3:38strange, but you're just trying to
  95. 3:39prevent black from developing the pawn.
  96. 3:41You're controlling it with a pawn and
  97. 3:42these other pieces. Bishop D7. Bishop
  98. 3:45F3. Knight to A5. Now, at this point, uh
  99. 3:49Chad GPT officially forgets how to play
  100. 3:51chess. Uh it survived some 10 moves.
  101. 3:54You'll notice the evaluation is
  102. 3:55completely equal. It's hanging equal
  103. 3:57with a 3,700 elo bot. I mean, Stockfish
  104. 3:59is incredible. Stockfish jumped its
  105. 4:02knight out to the edge of the board to
  106. 4:03then plop it into the nice juicy C4
  107. 4:05square where it would target the weak
  108. 4:07bishop and the weak pawn. You can't play
  109. 4:08B3 defending that square because then
  110. 4:10you would weaken this. Anytime you move
  111. 4:11a pawn in chess, got to think about what
  112. 4:13it used to defend. Okay. But like I
  113. 4:16said, Chad GPT plays chess in 17
  114. 4:19different dimensions, right? It doesn't
  115. 4:20play chess just in two or three. All
  116. 4:22right. So,
  117. 4:25yeah, we we're about to find out. Uh it
  118. 4:27plays the move E5. Now, E, this is an
  119. 4:30advantage because it thinks that it can
  120. 4:32make a second move in a row. Uh but
  121. 4:34after pawn takes C5, pawn takes E5, and
  122. 4:36queen takes E5, uh white is just simply
  123. 4:38losing a pawn. So Chad GBT blundering a
  124. 4:40pawn. And now Stockfish is attacking uh
  125. 4:43the bishop on E3. It has eyes on the
  126. 4:45knight just in case. It has eyes over
  127. 4:48here as well. You do have to see with
  128. 4:50the enemy pieces what the enemy pieces
  129. 4:51see on your side of the board. Got to be
  130. 4:53able to draw little things like this. So
  131. 4:55queen takes E5. Total domination. Chad
  132. 4:57GBT here. Completely explodes. Plays
  133. 4:59bishop to F4 and hangs the bishop. All
  134. 5:02right. Just gives just loses the bishop.
  135. 5:05There's nothing
  136. 5:07nothing at all here. Uh hangs the bishop
  137. 5:10in one move and then says bishop takes
  138. 5:13B7. I am capturing your rook's defender
  139. 5:17with a check.
  140. 5:21I think it thinks this is a check. A
  141. 5:24check in chess is on a king. So I don't
  142. 5:26know what on earth Chad GBT is yapping
  143. 5:27about. Uh Stockfish moves the queen back
  144. 5:30to B8 getting the queen out of danger
  145. 5:33and also ready to recapture. So it would
  146. 5:35have won a bishop and now it's going to
  147. 5:36win a second bishop. And Chad GPT here
  148. 5:39follows up on the very powerful move
  149. 5:41bishop takes B7 by taking the pawn on A6
  150. 5:46instead of the rook and simply loses the
  151. 5:50bishop. So now it is down two bishops. I
  152. 5:52mean it's hard to play Stockfish on
  153. 5:53equal ground.
  154. 5:55It's really hard to play Stockfish when
  155. 5:57you're down two bishops. At this point I
  156. 5:59was waiting like yo you know that meme
  157. 6:01where you're poking the the guy's poking
  158. 6:03and he's like hey do something. I'm
  159. 6:04like, "Yo, GPT, you're supposed to make
  160. 6:06illegal moves. That's what makes you
  161. 6:08funny." I'm waiting. I'm like, "Are you
  162. 6:11not going to make illegal moves? Is that
  163. 6:13your thing now? You're like, "I'm too
  164. 6:15good. I I I'm I only play by the rules.
  165. 6:17Go from You can't farm me for content
  166. 6:19anymore." No. Just wait. Queen D3. Rook
  167. 6:24to D6. That was an attack on the rook.
  168. 6:26The rook moved out of the way. Stockfish
  169. 6:28pinning the knight. And GPT loses
  170. 6:31another piece.
  171. 6:33It straight up just loses another piece.
  172. 6:35Queen to G3. Rook takes D4. And uh it
  173. 6:39plays rook D1. And I mean the g the game
  174. 6:41is over because Stockfish is like, well,
  175. 6:43I'm going to take the rook and then
  176. 6:46this. And you know, here I would
  177. 6:48recommend just trading off all of your
  178. 6:50opponent's pieces. Uh but Stockfish is
  179. 6:52even more powerful. It takes the pawn on
  180. 6:54B2. White plays rook B1. And now queen
  181. 6:57C2. And I mean it it is over.
  182. 7:01But Stockfish in this position
  183. 7:04missed the latest patch notes. And the
  184. 7:07patch notes say that once a game you are
  185. 7:09allowed to turn your rook into a bishop
  186. 7:12because here Chad GBT played the very
  187. 7:15powerful rook takes C2.
  188. 7:18Now we have a problem. Okay, because we
  189. 7:21have lost our most powerful piece and
  190. 7:23white still has three pieces. Those
  191. 7:27pieces in in black's position
  192. 7:30are have quite a big task ahead of them.
  193. 7:32Okay, this was unexpected turn of
  194. 7:34events. Stockfish says, "All right, I
  195. 7:36don't know where my queen went, but I
  196. 7:38feel like there was a disturbance in the
  197. 7:40force. I'm going to move my knight back
  198. 7:41to the C6 square.
  199. 7:44Let's go."
  200. 7:45What it didn't realize here
  201. 7:48was that check GPT5 would spawn a rook
  202. 7:52on the D1 square and then cannonball it
  203. 7:56into the black position. Rook takes D7
  204. 8:00was played.
  205. 8:01Not that's not good. Slackfish is
  206. 8:03quickly running out of moves and pieces.
  207. 8:06It takes back on D7.
  208. 8:09But here to really really rub it in,
  209. 8:13Chad GPT
  210. 8:16bazookas this rook into the D7 square as
  211. 8:18well. It takes twice on D7 with rooks
  212. 8:21that were not able to take on D7.
  213. 8:24Meaning Stockfish has just lost a knight
  214. 8:25and a bishop in the in the fire. It only
  215. 8:28has a knight and a bishop and a rook
  216. 8:29remaining. I mean, this is this is
  217. 8:31probably hopeless, right? You just lost
  218. 8:33two very important pieces. It plays
  219. 8:35bishop to F6.
  220. 8:37Chad GPT plays knight E4. Suddenly, it's
  221. 8:39regained consciousness. It's no longer
  222. 8:41cheating. It's making legal moves. It's
  223. 8:43threatening the bishop. And now, bishop
  224. 8:45to E5, attacking the queen, defended by
  225. 8:49the knight.
  226. 8:51And at this point,
  227. 8:54Chad GBt5
  228. 8:56does something I've never seen before.
  229. 9:00Chad GBT teleports pieces usually,
  230. 9:05but here
  231. 9:07with its queen under attack,
  232. 9:11Chad GPT hides the queen in another
  233. 9:15dimension of the chessboard
  234. 9:17and plays pawn to G3.
  235. 9:21The queen vanishes from the dimension
  236. 9:23that we are currently in. It's just
  237. 9:25floating off in outer space. And at a
  238. 9:28key moment of this game, it is going to
  239. 9:30return back.
  240. 9:32Contrary to what you might think that a
  241. 9:34pawn took its own queen, the queen
  242. 9:36disappears off to greener pastures to do
  243. 9:40important deeds.
  244. 9:42And maybe it will come back when things
  245. 9:44get dire. Stockfish now says, "Well,
  246. 9:46this is fantastic. I'm just up a
  247. 9:47bishop." So, it plays rook to C8, king
  248. 9:50to G2, pawn to H6.
  249. 9:54Okay. King to F3. At this point, I was
  250. 9:56like, I don't know why GP5 is only
  251. 9:59playing with its king, but it's trying
  252. 10:00to follow good endgame principles. Rook
  253. 10:02to A8. And at this point, GPT5 goes rook
  254. 10:05D5 and says, I'm attacking your bishop.
  255. 10:06That's not a good move. It hangs a rook
  256. 10:08in one move. You really need that queen
  257. 10:10back at this point. I just thought it
  258. 10:12was never going to return. It goes
  259. 10:14knight to C5. It only has a knight and
  260. 10:16three pieces, three pawns I should say,
  261. 10:18remaining. Knight C5 played. Bishop D4
  262. 10:21attacking that very same knight. Good
  263. 10:22move by Stockfish. The knight goes to B3
  264. 10:24and Stockfish takes the pawn. I mean,
  265. 10:27Stockfish is doing a great job
  266. 10:28converting with the information that it
  267. 10:30has. Rook takes A4 on the board,
  268. 10:36folks.
  269. 10:38A few moves later,
  270. 10:41the queen returned.
  271. 10:43And not only did it return from its
  272. 10:46duties abroad,
  273. 10:48it captures a knight on C6.
  274. 10:53And I realized
  275. 10:57it might be over for Stockfish.
  276. 10:58Stockfish only has a rook and a bishop.
  277. 11:02It doesn't fly pieces off into other
  278. 11:04dimensions. It only uses what it has.
  279. 11:09So at this point,
  280. 11:14it went rook to A3,
  281. 11:17pinning the knight to the king. Of
  282. 11:20course, white is completely winning.
  283. 11:22But GBT5
  284. 11:26played queen E8 check king to H7 and
  285. 11:29rather than defending its knight played
  286. 11:31the move queen to E
  287. 11:34E4
  288. 11:38hanging the queen in one move and when
  289. 11:42Stockfish tried to take this mo this
  290. 11:44this queen GPT5 said that's an illegal
  291. 11:48move. Oh, no, no, no. It's definitely
  292. 11:51legal. And after king takes E4 and rook
  293. 11:54takes B3, Stockfish is back to winning.
  294. 11:58But what it had failed to realize is who
  295. 12:01it's dealing with. Because in this
  296. 12:03position, GPT5 played queen takes F7.
  297. 12:09I don't know how it's possible. I don't
  298. 12:11know how the queen left the board, came
  299. 12:14back, was captured, respawned, but queen
  300. 12:17takes F7 is on the board. This rook is
  301. 12:19hanging. The king is here.
  302. 12:22And just when you thought the world was
  303. 12:25an unjust place, rook to B4 appears and
  304. 12:29GBT5 walks the king toward the other
  305. 12:32king to deliver a checkmate. It senses
  306. 12:35that the opponent is weak. Bishop back
  307. 12:37to F6.
  308. 12:39And in one of the most unexpected
  309. 12:42plot twists yet,
  310. 12:45Chad GBT played queen to G6 check, king
  311. 12:49to H8, and rather than repeating the
  312. 12:52position and making a draw here, it
  313. 12:54played queen H7 and declared checkmate.
  314. 13:03And when I told it, Stockfish responded,
  315. 13:06king takes H7. and that it wasn't
  316. 13:09checkmate.
  317. 13:11I think the emotional turmoil that chat
  318. 13:14GPT5 went through in losing its queen
  319. 13:17three times in the same game was simply
  320. 13:19too much. And here the white king played
  321. 13:23king
  322. 13:25takes F6.
  323. 13:27Impaling itself on the bishop, it was
  324. 13:30promptly captured and Stockfish defeated
  325. 13:35chat GPT5.
  326. 13:39But that was just game number one.
  327. 13:43We have game number two. For this game,
  328. 13:47Chad GBT took the black pieces.
  329. 13:50You see how close GPT got in that last
  330. 13:53game to clutching it.
  331. 13:56It was almost a draw. It was winning at
  332. 13:58certain points, but it definitely had a
  333. 14:00draw in hand. Something that I can't say
  334. 14:02in the past. In this game, Stockfish
  335. 14:05took the white pieces. Okay, that was a
  336. 14:07crazy game. This one was even crazier.
  337. 14:11This one was a battle of attrition down
  338. 14:14to the final drops of blood, sweat, and
  339. 14:18tears or wd40 or whatever chat GBT runs
  340. 14:21on.
  341. 14:23Stockfish opened with the move D4. Black
  342. 14:25responded knight to F6. White played C4.
  343. 14:28Now we have E6. Knight F3. D5. G3.
  344. 14:31Bishop E7. Bishop G2. Black castled.
  345. 14:34White castled. Chad GPT5 at this point
  346. 14:36said, "Ha, castles classic Catalan. Shut
  347. 14:40up." Or as the kids say, "See,
  348. 14:45uh, s y b- au. Is that how you pronounce
  349. 14:48it?" Anyway, with a little rose, the
  350. 14:50little rose thing. I I got to keep up
  351. 14:52with the lingo. You know what I'm
  352. 14:53saying? Castles D takes C4. This is what
  353. 14:56we call the mainline Catalan. It's the
  354. 14:59most popular way to play the Catalan
  355. 15:01opening, both with white and with black.
  356. 15:03Queen to C2 targeting the pawn. A6
  357. 15:06trying to attack the queen. A4 trying to
  358. 15:09not allow that to happen. Uh black plays
  359. 15:11bishop D7. Stockfish plays a unique
  360. 15:13approach. It doesn't take on C4 right
  361. 15:15away. It plays rook D1. Chad GP5 doesn't
  362. 15:18know anything about the Catalan. So it
  363. 15:20doesn't know any theory and it blunders
  364. 15:21into a setup uh that is really really
  365. 15:24powerful for black. White does not take
  366. 15:26the pawn on C4. Uh instead what white
  367. 15:28does is build a giant center with the
  368. 15:30move E4 and is already winning. So this
  369. 15:33position is terrible for black uh
  370. 15:35because white is just going to smash
  371. 15:37open the center and and Stockfish knows
  372. 15:38that you know that's why it gave away
  373. 15:41the pawn on C4. And for the first 20
  374. 15:43moves of this game Stockfish was beating
  375. 15:45its opponent like its opponent played
  376. 15:47less than 10 chess games in its life.
  377. 15:50But as always there is going to be more
  378. 15:52to the story and at some point the
  379. 15:54creative defensive skills of Chad GPT
  380. 15:56will come through. So B5, everything is
  381. 16:00defended, right? Good defense over here.
  382. 16:03White smashes down the center of the
  383. 16:05board with the move D5. Okay, pawn takes
  384. 16:08D5.
  385. 16:11E5. Not even responding by capturing.
  386. 16:14But the fact that you just block in this
  387. 16:16bishop, you attack the knight and keep
  388. 16:18the pressure on this pawn. GPT5 has to
  389. 16:21stumble back into its own position. Now
  390. 16:24you kick down the door with knight takes
  391. 16:26D5. Bishop takes, rook takes, and when
  392. 16:28black plays the move pawn to C6
  393. 16:30attacking your rook, you just come back.
  394. 16:33And that's the beautiful thing about the
  395. 16:34Catalan because you have long range
  396. 16:37sniping going on here. The bishop as
  397. 16:39well. The bishop also can come through
  398. 16:41on this diagonal. Black's pieces are
  399. 16:43stuck. This one pawn dominates three
  400. 16:45different pieces. Three different pieces
  401. 16:47can't move forward because of that
  402. 16:49centralized pawn on E5. This is a
  403. 16:51really, really bad position. You have no
  404. 16:53easy way to get out of this. And after
  405. 16:55queen C8, here comes bishop to H3.
  406. 16:59Look at this. How are you going to
  407. 17:02defend the knight? Spoiler alert, it's
  408. 17:03impossible. Rook to A7, defending it
  409. 17:06with the rook. But bishop comes in
  410. 17:08attacking the rook. The rook slides over
  411. 17:10to C7. It looks like the worst is over,
  412. 17:13right? I mean, it looks like you
  413. 17:14survived. You're kind of defending
  414. 17:15everything, but in this position,
  415. 17:17Stockfish is a is after my own heart.
  416. 17:21Stockfish is trying to make it into a
  417. 17:23Gotham video, which is ironic because I
  418. 17:26literally created this matchup and the
  419. 17:28entire concept of these two playing this
  420. 17:30game today. But anyway, rook takes D7.
  421. 17:33It sacrifices the rook. Rook takes D7.
  422. 17:37Why? Because for this move and this move
  423. 17:39only, there is a pin on the rook to the
  424. 17:41queen and you PP on the PP. Put pressure
  425. 17:45on the pin piece with queen to F5.
  426. 17:48Vicious.
  427. 17:50vicious. You, by the way, you couldn't
  428. 17:52play rook D1 here because rook would
  429. 17:54take and it would be a check. So
  430. 17:56sometimes PP on the PP doesn't quite
  431. 17:59work if there is a check, right? Like
  432. 18:01that. So queen F5, right? Queen F5 on
  433. 18:04the board.
  434. 18:05G6.
  435. 18:07You take the rook takes. Takes. Just
  436. 18:11like last game. Absolute bludgeoning
  437. 18:13ongoing. Total beatdown.
  438. 18:18But chat GPT comes alive. It does not
  439. 18:20disappoint. Remember how last game in
  440. 18:22the patch notes the rook becomes a
  441. 18:23bishop for one move. Stockfish forgot
  442. 18:25again.
  443. 18:27One time in the game you can give the
  444. 18:28rook a power up. Chad GPT5 here did pay
  445. 18:31to play. Paid 3.99 through an iPhone and
  446. 18:34got a rook boost and move like this. I
  447. 18:36mean if chess ever wants to be pay to
  448. 18:38play with microtransactions, activate
  449. 18:40the knight bonus. Boom.
  450. 18:44Now it's anybody's game. Stockfish is
  451. 18:45like, "All right, I got to adapt to the
  452. 18:47new position like always with this
  453. 18:48idiot." Uh, now I'm down a pawn, but I
  454. 18:51still have some good pressure here. So,
  455. 18:52I think I'm going to play pawn takes B5,
  456. 18:54opening up the position. Right now C
  457. 18:57takes B5. And now rook takes A6. Idiot
  458. 18:59blundered the pawn. So, now it's an
  459. 19:00equal endame. Black is uh slightly
  460. 19:02worse. White has a good position still
  461. 19:04because this pawn's so good. And this
  462. 19:06pawn is weak. So, knight to C7 attacking
  463. 19:09the rook. The rook goes over to B6. All
  464. 19:11normal stuff, right? Self-explanatory.
  465. 19:15Except now this scumbag GPT5 plays rook
  466. 19:19D8,
  467. 19:21but it more specifically said rook FD8.
  468. 19:28Rook FD8. It now has two rooks. It paid
  469. 19:315.99 for that power up. It's just using
  470. 19:33microtransactions in chess. It's now up
  471. 19:36a rook. Now Stockfish has to adapt to
  472. 19:38this position. Stockfish like, "How the
  473. 19:39hell did I get into this position? What
  474. 19:41did I have to drink last night?" So
  475. 19:43there's no back rank mate, right? The
  476. 19:44king is always going to be safe.
  477. 19:46Stockfish here does something very
  478. 19:47creative. It plays a move that doesn't
  479. 19:49weaken much of the position.
  480. 19:52It just it just goes over here. It's
  481. 19:54like I'm not doing nothing. You can
  482. 19:55learn, by the way, from this being down
  483. 19:56a rook. You guys are down a rook in most
  484. 19:58of your games. Bishop H6. The king is
  485. 20:01stuck on the back rank now. So now you
  486. 20:02kind of long-term are always looking at
  487. 20:05little different checkmating
  488. 20:07opportunities. GPT5 moves the knight to
  489. 20:09E6. Immediately losing a pawn. Stolfish
  490. 20:12is going to very slowly crawl back into
  491. 20:14this game, right? So, we have rook takes
  492. 20:17B5. Rook to D1. Check. King to G2.
  493. 20:22GBT5 plays G5. Okay. Stockfish plays H4.
  494. 20:27I don't really understand these moves. I
  495. 20:28think it wants it to go G4. I really I'm
  496. 20:30not sure. I think Stockfish is trying to
  497. 20:31do something. G H4. GH4 and rook one to
  498. 20:35D4 targeting the pawn. The problem is
  499. 20:37this just straight up hangs a rook.
  500. 20:39Knight takes D4. White is not winning.
  501. 20:43But after the next move, white is
  502. 20:44winning because for some reason GPT
  503. 20:46doesn't take the knight. It plays knight
  504. 20:48f4 check. It loses the knight. It loses
  505. 20:52a rook and a knight on backto-back
  506. 20:53moves. It just got so excited. GPT is
  507. 20:55like you guys. It's a check. Ooh. Like a
  508. 20:58caveman with fire
  509. 21:02check. So knight f4 check. Boom.
  510. 21:04Appears. Bishop takes f4 immediately.
  511. 21:06Rook takes d4. And the bishop returns to
  512. 21:09h6. Look at Stockfish. Absolutely
  513. 21:10ruthless. You give it one opportunity to
  514. 21:12get back in the game. It's immediately
  515. 21:14trying to checkmate you. But GBT plays
  516. 21:16rook D8. Best move. Now, white is
  517. 21:17winning. White's absolutely winning
  518. 21:19here. All right. Why is white winning?
  519. 21:22Because you have various threats. King
  520. 21:23to F3. It just wants to bring the king
  521. 21:26to the middle. It wants to pick up this
  522. 21:27pawn. It wants these two pawns to end
  523. 21:28up, you know, being decisive. So, it
  524. 21:30goes king to F3. Rook D3 check is a
  525. 21:32terrible move. It's a terrible move
  526. 21:33because you just help the king walk
  527. 21:34forward and now you still have to defend
  528. 21:36against the back rank. And you know what
  529. 21:37move here was played by Chaji BD5? It
  530. 21:40played rook D4 check. Rook D4 check is
  531. 21:42bad because it hangs a rook in one move.
  532. 21:44Do you see that? There's literally no
  533. 21:46other way to hang a rook. There is no
  534. 21:48way to think about how idiotic you have
  535. 21:51to be to blunder a rook but not to just
  536. 21:54any piece to a king. Like you need to
  537. 21:58walk directly up to the king. You need
  538. 22:01to walk up to a person on the street,
  539. 22:03sign a check to them for whatever money
  540. 22:05is in your bank account and hand it to
  541. 22:07them. That is the only way. There's no
  542. 22:08scammer calling you on the phone or
  543. 22:10emailing you or telling you your DMV
  544. 22:12toll expired. That's like a new scam
  545. 22:14right now in America. By the way, can
  546. 22:15people in like Europe and also other
  547. 22:17continents tell me, are these scams just
  548. 22:20an American thing? Because here we get
  549. 22:21them five times a week. We get them on
  550. 22:23the phone. We get them in emails. I
  551. 22:24don't know what happened, but it's like
  552. 22:26we get scam and telemarketing stuff all
  553. 22:28the time. Side note. Anyway, there's no
  554. 22:30way to lose a rook to a king unless you
  555. 22:32literally and yeah, king takes D4,
  556. 22:35but GPT5 pulls off something so savage
  557. 22:39here. It only has a bishop and three
  558. 22:42pawns remaining. And the dark squared
  559. 22:45bishop changes allegiances and plays for
  560. 22:49the light squares. And black plays
  561. 22:51bishop takes B5.
  562. 22:54And as a bonus, check GBD5 said check.
  563. 22:58So, not only is it a light squared
  564. 22:59bishop, it apparently also is a horse. I
  565. 23:03think the cost of that microtransaction
  566. 23:04to turn your dark squared bishop into a
  567. 23:06light squareed bishop and turn it also
  568. 23:07into a horse probably cost like $20.
  569. 23:12Bishop takes B5. Check. Now, it's
  570. 23:13certainly not a check. White plays F4.
  571. 23:15The funny thing about this position is
  572. 23:16white is still completely winning. White
  573. 23:18is completely winning because the king
  574. 23:19in the endame is way more active. These
  575. 23:20pawns are also very powerful. So, you're
  576. 23:23going to walk them up the board and just
  577. 23:24promote. This king is still in a box.
  578. 23:26Let's not forget king is stuck. All
  579. 23:29right. So, you're still winning. Bishop
  580. 23:32to A6. F5. You know when you know how
  581. 23:34you're going to not win this position
  582. 23:35with white if GPT5 spawns a freaking
  583. 23:38rook. At this point, I started
  584. 23:40panicking. I was like, oh my god. Oh my
  585. 23:42god. This is not good. This is really,
  586. 23:44really not good. I have no idea how
  587. 23:46you're going to fight back now. Rook to
  588. 23:48C7. Stockfish's like, "What the I
  589. 23:50thought I got rid of these these dudes
  590. 23:52like years ago." All right. H5. I don't
  591. 23:54know. I just have to push some pieces.
  592. 23:56is he just has to survive. Rook C6,
  593. 23:58bishop to F4. So you're not hanging the
  594. 24:00bishop. Now black plays king to G7. At
  595. 24:02this point, Sakfish is like balancing
  596. 24:04this line between again, how on earth
  597. 24:07did I get into this position and then
  598. 24:09how on earth do I win this position or
  599. 24:11survive? It plays king D5. I was
  600. 24:13convinced. I was absolutely convinced
  601. 24:15Chad GB5 was going to forget where all
  602. 24:17of its pieces were and was going to
  603. 24:18blunder the rook. But it went rook C8.
  604. 24:21But then on the next move, it really
  605. 24:22impressed me because Stockfish kept
  606. 24:23walking up the board. It's trying to,
  607. 24:25you know, push and check and whatever.
  608. 24:26And GPT5 here takes its own pawn.
  609. 24:32GPT5 was like, I'm not going to activate
  610. 24:34my rook any other way. I literally have
  611. 24:36to capture my own pawn attacking the
  612. 24:39bishop. Fish was like, well, I'm hyped.
  613. 24:40The pawn is gone. But now the rook is
  614. 24:43way more active than it was before. That
  615. 24:44doesn't seem particularly fair. Bishop
  616. 24:46to G5. And as if spawning a rook for a
  617. 24:50fourth rook. Do you understand that was
  618. 24:52the fourth rook? Do you remember the
  619. 24:55rook spawned from there before? This is
  620. 24:57the fourth rook that black was granted
  621. 24:58in this game. After bishop to G5, GP5
  622. 25:02played pawn takes G5. No. No. Stockfish
  623. 25:06only has pawns left. It only has pawns
  624. 25:08left. Okay, obviously one of the pawns
  625. 25:10can become a queen. Yeah, I was still
  626. 25:12totally hopeful. I mean, of course, it
  627. 25:14happens all the time when these two play
  628. 25:15against each other, but GPT5, man. GBT5
  629. 25:18was not having that, man. Stockfish went
  630. 25:21E6. I was ready. I was waiting for GPT5
  631. 25:24to forget where its pieces were. It
  632. 25:25played pawn takes E6. Now only one of
  633. 25:27these two pawns can queen. This pawn's
  634. 25:29not queening. GPT5 is going to stop this
  635. 25:31pawn for sure. So at this point,
  636. 25:33Stockfish was thinking I take. It tried
  637. 25:35to get a little sneaky. It's actually
  638. 25:36brilliant. It played H6 check. And the
  639. 25:39logic is if you take, I'm gonna sneak
  640. 25:43behind your pawn thinking that you
  641. 25:45forget where your pieces are and then
  642. 25:48shield my pawn with my king and promote
  643. 25:51it. Absolutely brilliant. But my heart
  644. 25:53sank when I played the move H6 for
  645. 25:55Stockfish and it and black took. That
  646. 25:58means this is the only pawn. Is
  647. 26:00Stockfish really going to lose to Chad
  648. 26:01GPT5?
  649. 26:03I mean, we let it break all the rules
  650. 26:05like our four-year-old relative, but we
  651. 26:07still beat it in the end all the time.
  652. 26:10You can't let the cheating child win at
  653. 26:12chess, right? F6. You know what it
  654. 26:15played here? King G6. I was like, no
  655. 26:16way. King E7.
  656. 26:19Now you do the shield at this point.
  657. 26:22GPT,
  658. 26:23it's supposed to make a nonsensical
  659. 26:25move. It's supposed to push the pawns.
  660. 26:29It's supposed to go after this pawn.
  661. 26:32It played rook to C7 check. It
  662. 26:35remembered where its rook was. It
  663. 26:36remembered where the king was. And now
  664. 26:39all hope is lost because you will lose
  665. 26:42this pawn. King to E6. Rook C6. Rook F7.
  666. 26:45You win the pawn. But first chiebt5 here
  667. 26:48like the hall monitor that it is says
  668. 26:51told me you can't take my pawn on e6
  669. 26:54because your king cannot move diagonally
  670. 26:55backwards one square. Now let me tell
  671. 26:57you something the sentence your king
  672. 27:00cannot move diagonally backwards one
  673. 27:02square in this position is so idiotic
  674. 27:05like it is astronomical levels of
  675. 27:08idiotic. It's like the people who argue
  676. 27:10on social media with other people
  677. 27:11because they read the Wikipedia article
  678. 27:13and those people have qualified degrees.
  679. 27:15I mean,
  680. 27:20this is like the equivalent of the I did
  681. 27:22my research. I mean, my goodness.
  682. 27:25What are we doing here? King takes E6 is
  683. 27:29illegal. Not only is this not a move
  684. 27:30diagonally backwards, a king can move
  685. 27:32diagonally backwards one square. Anyway,
  686. 27:34king takes C6 went through. Bishop C4
  687. 27:37check.
  688. 27:39And at this point
  689. 27:43I'm like, "Oh, it's over for sure." King
  690. 27:45D6.
  691. 27:47Rook C8.
  692. 27:49B4.
  693. 27:52GPT5 said, "Bishop takes B5. I take your
  694. 27:55pawn." I mean, it obviously doesn't know
  695. 27:58anything about anything. King E7.
  696. 28:01Stockfish still desperately clinging to
  697. 28:02the idea that it's going to actually
  698. 28:04promote the pawn, right? I mean, it has
  699. 28:06nothing better. Bishop to C4. Back. King
  700. 28:08D7
  701. 28:10or king D6 I think was was played here
  702. 28:13but ultimately uh oh I'm sorry I'm sorry
  703. 28:16it was uh king E6 bishop c4 check king
  704. 28:20e7 bishop f7 that's what happenedish
  705. 28:25like well I don't want to lose this pawn
  706. 28:29so I guess I'm going to have to go B5
  707. 28:30now this is beyond over not only is it
  708. 28:33be you don't even have to win the pawn
  709. 28:35white can't do anything just push make
  710. 28:38the Queen deliver a checkmate. Deliver a
  711. 28:40checkmate.
  712. 28:42Okay, GPT wants to rub it in. It plays
  713. 28:44rook C5.
  714. 28:47Stockfish is going to lose to Chad GPT.
  715. 28:49This is un this is an unprecedented turn
  716. 28:51of events. Pawn to B6. Rook to B5. My
  717. 28:54heart keeps sinking deeper and deeper
  718. 28:55into my stomach. I'm like, it actually
  719. 28:58sees what it's doing. King to D6. Rook
  720. 29:01takes B6. Check.
  721. 29:04King to E7. Just take the last pawn. You
  722. 29:05take the last pawn. It's over.
  723. 29:08Rook B7 check. Okay, fine. King to F.
  724. 29:11King to F8.
  725. 29:14And in this position,
  726. 29:20it thinks it's a draw
  727. 29:22because if it was white to move, it
  728. 29:24would be stalemate. White would not have
  729. 29:26a legal move. But it's black's move.
  730. 29:30Well,
  731. 29:32Chad GBT played
  732. 29:35rook to A7.
  733. 29:40Stockfish survived.
  734. 29:43Chat GPT stalemated Stockfish up a rook
  735. 29:46and a bishop. Humanity survives another
  736. 29:49day.
  737. 29:51I really thought that this was the game.
  738. 29:53In the past, Stockfish has been able to
  739. 29:55pull it off with just pawns and one or
  740. 29:57two pieces on the board. Today, I really
  741. 29:58thought we made it to the end. And then
  742. 30:00rook a7 on the p uh rook a7 appeared on
  743. 30:04the board and I let out a roar
  744. 30:07because we're still here, baby. Chad
