FIDE CM Kingscrusher goes over amazing games of Chess every day, with a focus recently on chess champions such as Magnus Carlsen or even games of Neural Networks which are opening up new concepts for how chess could be played more effectively.
The Game qualities that kingscrusher looks for are generally amazing games with some awesome or astonishing features to them. Many brilliant games are being played every year in Chess and this channel helps to find and explain them in a clear way. There are classic games, crushing and dynamic games. There are exceptionally elegant games. Or games which are excellent in other respects which make them exciting to check out. There are also flashy, important, impressive games. Sometimes games can also be exceptionally instructive and interesting at the same time.
Info about Leela Zero:

...
Leela Chess Zero (lc0) is a free, open-source, and neural network-based chess engine and distributed computing project.
Leela Zero's algorithm is based on DeepMind's 2017 paper about AlphaGo Zero.[3][6] Unlike the original Leela, which has a lot of human knowledge and heuristics programmed into it, Leela Zero only knows the basic rules and nothing more.[7]
Leela Zero is trained by a distributed effort, which is coordinated at the Leela Zero website. Members of the community provide computing resources by running the client, which generates self-play games and submits them to the server. The self-play games are used to train newer networks. Generally, over 500 clients have connected to the server to contribute resources.[7] The community has provided high quality code contributions as well.[7]
Leela Zero finished third at the BerryGenomics Cup World AI Go Tournament in Fuzhou, Fujian, China on 28 April 2018.[8]
Info about Alphazero:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlphaZero
AlphaZero is a computer program developed by the Alphabet-owned AI research company DeepMind, which uses an approach similar to AlphaGo Zero's to master not just Go, but also chess and shogi. On December 5, 2017 the DeepMind team released a preprint introducing AlphaZero, which, within 24 hours, achieved a superhuman level of play in these three games by defeating world-champion programs, Stockfish, elmo, and the 3-day version of AlphaGo Zero, in each case making use of custom tensor processing units (TPUs) that the Google programs were optimized to make use of.[1] AlphaZero was trained solely via "self-play" using 5,000 first-generation TPUs to generate the games and 64 second-generation TPUs to train the neural networks, all in parallel, with no access to opening books or endgame tables. After just four hours of training, DeepMind estimated AlphaZero was playing at a higher Elo rating than Stockfish; after 9 hours of training, the algorithm decisively defeated Stockfish 8 in a time-controlled 100-game tournament (28 wins, 0 losses, and 72 draws).[1][2][3] The trained algorithm played on a single machine with four TPUs.

Relation to AlphaGo Zero
Further information: AlphaGo Zero
AlphaZero (AZ) is a more generalized variant of the AlphaGo Zero (AGZ) algorithm, and is able to play shogi and chess as well as Go. Differences between AZ and AGZ include:[1]
AZ has hard-coded rules for setting search hyperparameters.
The neural network is now updated continually.
Go (unlike Chess) is symmetric under certain reflections and rotations; AlphaGo Zero was programmed to take advantage of these symmetries. AlphaZero is not.
Chess can end in a draw unlike Go; therefore AlphaZero can take into account the possibility of a drawn game.

KC is back with a bang. Brilliant stuff.

[@anhhuydo9049]

Keep the good work up KC! I enjoyed this analysis very much and I am excited to see Firo mixing up the chess scene in the upcoming years.

[@stduserid]

KC is legend!!!! RESPECT!!!

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

Alireza firouzja is a fantatically talented Young ma, who was made to look like a schoolboy by Carlsend positonal masterclass. Illuminating analysis .Thanks KC keep up the good work.

[@WilliamJonesChess]

Opening choice was a surprise. I thought he would play a Sicilian, since Magnus is a point behind.
But he went for a Berlin, knowing Firouzja would play d3 most of the time, hence transposing to a closed Spanish.
This gave Magnus chances to outplay his young opponent.
And this is exactly what he did!
Very clever opening choice.

[@805atnorafertsera6]

Love this game, saw it live and been through it several times. Kudos to you for doing another great video Sir

[@thewarlordscalling6537]

There is a lot of debate after Carlsen's final move...Bf1.Polgar says white can still salvage a draw..Peter Svidler also stresses on how uncertain a Carlsen win would hve been from th ensuing position.

[@davids2448]

Stockfish 11 depth 35 analysis puts White at -2.25. One line looks like it could come down to NBK v K which could be tricky for us mere mortals, but surely not for Magnus...

[@boratsagdiyev1616]

Firouzja chess is of wine and dance, of irrationality and chaos, and appeals to emotions and instincts. Carlsen chess is of the sun, of rational thinking and order, and appeals to logic, prudence and purity. Firouzja pleases spectators but Carlsen earns the experts respects.

[@stephenh9483]

Magnus was passing on a tradition to Firouzja. When Kasparov was a kid he played Karpov in a simul, and Karpov crushed him. In 2004 Magnus played Garry, and of course Garry crushed him. Now Magnus is handing it on to Firouzja

[@Musicrafter12]

I thought that Magnus almost won against Garry but ended up drawing? Or maybe that's a different game

[@Norwegian733]

@@Musicrafter12 Thats right. Carlsen made a draw against Kasparov as a 13 year old and had the strongest position. Kasparov won the second game, but Carlsen has never been "crushed" by Kasparov.
