My last tournament went pretty decently. But after the event, my health wasn't at its best. That's why this upload is a bit late. But now I am back and I hope to upload more frequently from now on.

This game demonstrated why an algorithm such as Super Eval which evaluates the demands of the position before coming up with a move is better than an algorithm that uses intuition as the only guiding source. This game made me realize how efficient the Super Eval is compared to other algorithms.

Lessons from this game:
> Intuition shouldn't be the only guiding source to your calculations
> Super Eval is much more efficient than other algorithms
> Do not lose your focus

Intuition guided search

This is a very human approach to chess. As a human, you have a subconscious mind that recognizes patterns in day-to-day life. This pattern recognition can then be used to make quick decisions. After seeing a variety of different decisions you can make in this way and their consequential positions, you can then rank them according to your preference. This ranking part also requires intuition (according to this method). It's exactly the MCTS algorithm I used earlier in the series (which is not that different from what we do in our regular games, just a bit more specific), but presented in a more humanly applicable and simple way.

The Club of Believers...

I have created a club for all of the people out there in the chess world who believe we can make a comeback against the machines we built decades ago to beat us at our craft of chess. Join The Club of Believers today. In this team, we try to discover an algorithm that will be able to defeat Stockfish consistently in a series of games. But no algorithm will be of use without practice. So, after reaching 20 members, I will contact jeffforever to register our team for the Lichess Bundesliga! We already have 12 members in the team, we just need 8 more! This is the beginning of a new story. We can win the Bundesliga because we are believers! We can do anything we set our mind on. So I invite all my viewers to join this awesome club to look for the perfect algorithm and improve your level with constant training together with me.
