M3GAN Grows Stronger! 😮 Chess.com bot challenge!

What's up guys ?

So the Megan Bo on chess dot com is getting stronger and stronger .

Just the last video I made about this .

Megan was 10 50 .

She's now rated 12 53 of the cats are gone , scaredy cat , angry cat and Mr Grumps have been defeated by Megan .

There's only Kasparov and of course , Mittens remaining .

I don't know about you , but I'm excited to see how this is going to end when Megan finally makes it to Mittens .

But in the meantime , I'm gonna play Megan at 12 50 beat her while I still can .

All right , let's get started .

Choose play and here we go , we move my face and we are off .

Let's play E four bad Children who don't mind their manners .

Wow .

They grow up to be bad adults .

OK .

So she's gaining some uh what's the word ?

What is the word ?

Something ?

Some uh a little bit of an attitude , I guess we could say .

All right , let's go .

Bishop G five .

OK .

This is one of the main line French which I don't really know very well .

I think bishop D three is an OK .

Move here just developing and defending the center .

So we have to be careful .

We would lose a piece here .

But I think we can take this way and this looks fine for us .

We'll take here and we'll take here .

So the king is , has been moved , which means it can no longer castle .

So I'm gonna be keeping an eye on that for sure .

Let's play Knights F Three .

Probably just gonna castle .

Get my rooks into the game .

Yep , that's what I'm gonna do .

Ok .

So whenever they make pawn moves , uh you wanna be looking for what weaknesses were created .

So this G six square is jumping out of me also , this E six pawn , it's no longer defended very well .

And so I think rookie one makes a lot of sense , but I am like I said , keeping an eye on this and actually knight to H four might be uh a move to consider threatening the fork .

Now it's a one move threat .

And so I think I'm gonna hold off for right now , get the rook involved , but I am keeping an eye on this move , this move .

Yeah , and maybe I will play it now because now we kind of have a couple of additional threats including a potential nine F five move as well .

So let's play knight to H four .

Now , it unleashes the queen and we have lots of ideas .

Ok .

So she's avoiding the fork and getting out of the pin is probably a pretty , pretty good move .

So I think what I'm gonna do is play the move C three .

I want to defend this pawn .

So I don't have to worry about that .

And it also gives me options for my queen on this side of the board .

Ok .

So G five seems too aggressive .

Um The question is , can I get away with bringing my knight into G six ?

I think I can .

So I'm gonna play knight to G six , attack the rook .

We have the threat on the pawn here .

Ok .

So she defends against both of those .

One thing I'm concerned about is the move F five because then I have to move my bishop and then I lose my knight .

So the way that I'm gonna deal with that is actually just retreating my bishop , I think .

And now if she plays at five , it's not attacking my bishop .

I have time to move my night to E five and I'll be just fine .

Wow , this is kind of funny .

All right .

So I think what I'm gonna do is we to F three looks like a very good move .

It's a double attack .

I don't see how black is gonna defend both of those .

So I will play queen two F three .

All right .

So she saves the rook , but the pawn is now hanging so I can take that with check .

All right .

So what do we have here ?

There's a pawn hanging .

There's a check on E five if you have any other good moves .

Um If I go check , king's probably just gonna run away .

I don't know that I necessarily have a good follow up .

This looks like a free pawn .

So I think I'll just take that .

Ok .

So I have to be careful this night is now pinned , but it's well defended .

So I'm not super concerned .

Uh We could force a queen trade , which I think is a smart decision since we're head material .

If you're up a significant amount of material , like I am trading is usually a good thing uh because it gets you closer to the end game and that advantage becomes more um valuable .

All right .

So let's get the last rook into the game .

So we have all of our pieces developed and this looks like a nice target .

Generally speaking , if you have isolated pawns , uh they're weak because they're not defended by other ponds .

And so I think I'm going to attack it .

It's also blockaded , which is important .

And so knight to F four looks like a pretty nice move , putting a lot of pressure on that pond , ok ?

And she doesn't defend it .

So there's only two defenders .

I have 1 to 3 Attackers and so I can safely take this pawn .

So let's go ahead and do that and we'll keep trading .

Like I said before , trading is a good thing , we're going to go into an endgame up a bunch of ponds and it's gonna be relatively easy .

All right .

So one thing that is nice to do when you're playing in an end game like this with just , you know , a couple of rooks left , don't leave this , uh , like , like this because you might get back rank check made .

So , if I were to like , let's just say , move over here , I'm getting ready to hunt this pawn And Megan moves the rook and I take the pawn .

I could lose the game .

She comes down and I'm checkmated .

So one of the , the easy ways to deal with that is just create some space for your king .

It doesn't really matter at the end of the game like this .

In this case , just some things so that if that ever happens , I can always escape .

I don't have to worry about that .

So now I'm gonna go pot hunting .

I feel very safe about my king .

So it's a very easy thing to do .

A lot of beginners make that mistake .

They don't do that and they end up losing the game to some back ring checkmate .

So that's what I'm trying to avoid .

All right , active king in the end game is always a good idea .

And I think at this point it's time to start pushing the ponds .

We have three connected pass ponds .

The easiest thing to do is gonna be to just push them .

You get a queen and game is very easy .

Bishop is helping .

We'll bring the rook down to help and I will start pushing this guy as well .

All right , here we go .

G7 , we can bring the rook down and Megan is still beatable at this point .

So if you wanna beat her better do it fast because she's gaining points rather quickly .

All right , let's get the queen and let's go ahead and get another queen .

Why not ?

We don't need to .

But since I can might as well do it , let's go for a check and then we'll get the second queen .

The only thing we need to be concerned about when we get multiple queens is stalemating , but I'm not worried about that because I see that , that Megan has lots of pawns that can move forward .

And so she's gonna have some different options for pieces to move .

And so I'm safe to get my two queens .

All right .

So let's swing over here .

This is almost checkmate after the night blocks or the where the king can move .

This looks like checkmate .

All right .

So there you go .

Uh Like I said , it looks like Megan is gaining strength very quickly .

Um I'm very interested to see what happens after she takes down Kats , bro .

And then we have Mittens .

So make sure you stay tuned .

I'll be posting updates here .

And so , um yeah , I'll see you guys next time as always .

Stay sharp .

Play smart and take care .
