From a candidate move selection process (Kotov) Bc1 is a little counter-intuitive because backward moves just are, but on a positional basis it has to be high on the list. Black will have nothing to counter the impending control of a3-f8 diagonal, coupled with king side space advantage, that’s a big plus for white. If b-file is opened by Bxc6 pxc6 then Ba3-d6 prevents Rb8. Horrible for black.

Re: Nh4 is hard to find, but the stats will tell you it is right

Post by Ovyron »

This is a position from 2015, so if Leela was able to send moves in time to the past, with 100M nodes it'd have been able to defeat any defense by Dann Corbit's analysis methods, making Bc1 better than Nh4.

This would be an example of analysis obsolescence, and I wonder if new stats can be produced today with current software that would let us conclude Bc1>Nh4.
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

Re: Nh4 is hard to find, but the stats will tell you it is right

Post by Dann Corbit »

In a hunch that Nh4 is tactical and deep, I ran Crystal on the problem over the weekend (on a fairly slow machine).
After 13 hours Crystal switched to Nh4.
Now, this is not proof that Nh4 is best. But it is an interesting result.

Best move: Nh4
After four plies in that PV, we're back at the initial position! And then Bg5 is played. So is Bg5 best? :wink:

(What does "best" even mean?)

Re: Nh4 is hard to find, but the stats will tell you it is right

Post by Dann Corbit »

I guess that "what does best even mean" is a really good question, and probably the heart of the dilemma.

A second experiment that just finished was using Stockfish.
At about the same depth, SF liked Nh4 also, but switched back to Bc1 on later plies.
So that makes Bc1 look stronger.
On the other hand, SF was working on an unfinished fail low when the last iteration ran out of time.
So maybe there is some problem with Bc1.

I guess that the interesting part is that nothing is certain. I found the validity of Nh4 by statistics from the forward moves when I initially made the post. But humans and engines can both overlook good moves on the way to the end of a game. So statistics alone is not good enough. And I think the Crystal output made Nh4 look better than it really is too, so a deep engine search can be misleading.

And I think right now that my final judgement on this position is:
"I am uncertain what the best move is."

Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

A second experiment that just finished was using Stockfish.
At about the same depth, SF liked Nh4 also, but switched back to Bc1 on later plies.
So that makes Bc1 look stronger.
On the other hand, SF was working on an unfinished fail low when the last iteration ran out of time.
So maybe there is some problem with Bc1.

I guess that the interesting part is that nothing is certain. I found the validity of Nh4 by statistics from the forward moves when I initially made the post. But humans and engines can both overlook good moves on the way to the end of a game. So statistics alone is not good enough. And I think the Crystal output made Nh4 look better than it really is too, so a deep engine search can be misleading.

And I think right now that my final judgement on this position is:
"I am uncertain what the best move is."

Note the implications of that statement. By my arguments of the other thread, if black is an imperfect opponent, then there's a series of moves by white that can ensure a win, this imperfect defense by black would work better for some moves and not others, the one that can beat black in the least moves is the best move (and it's unlikely that this is the same number for 2 nontransposing moves.)

IF "there is no best move in this position" THEN it follows that black can defend perfectly. Let's say that this is true, and then for any series of moves that you devise as white, say, Stockfish at depth 69 is able to find the perfect black defense, so we say all white moves are equal, because black can draw against any of them.

However, if this is true then it means there's some Depth n<=69 at which Stockfish can play the perfect defense, but that at Depth n-1 it doesn't. In this scenario, this depth could suffice for drawing against Bc1, but not against Nh4. In this case, we'd say Nh4 is the better move, leading to a contradiction (we had already said there was no move better than another.)

Thus a best move MUST exist.

QED

The best move can be found this way empirically, like, can we find a series of moves that beat Stockfish at Depth 32 as black from this position? And is it easier to find it with Nh4 or with Bc1?

My point is that we can't prove black's defense is perfect, so a perfect defense doesn't even make it into our calculations, so at any level of an opponent's strength (Stockfish increasing depth was just an example) a move that is best can be found, and the tougher the level, the clearer it becomes how easier is to beat them with some move than with another one. Probably a tool could be produced for this, at least for low depths (so that this can be done fast), allowing us to rank moves on the fly, and see if Nh4 rises to the top.
Your beliefs create your reality, so be careful what you wish for.

Sure, we could "evaluate" any position using game play. Play Nh4, and then let two engines play a long match, and then do the same with Bc1 (and then all other root moves). Sure, such a scheme could be automated, streamlined and made statistically sensible. But then the "best" move would still be dependent on the "rollout" system you've chosen, i.e, on the engines, the time controls, etc.

You could also take a well-trained neural net and simply look at a 1 node evaluation.

But "best" would still end up in quotation marks. :wink:
