Stockfish used a few pawns, a Queen, some knights and bishops and a rook to checkmate you, everything else was in its deep reserve. So when you took out a pawn or rook or knight it used what was left to launch its standard attack, but when you removed its Queen you effected its core attacking forces, (I.E., removing forces it had no indention of using had no effect on its attack.)

Basically the only thing that prevent stockfish from crushing you even 20 points of material behind is that he is considering you as his equivalent. He is only playing lines that he can't refute himself. But if he "know" that your not able to calculate any of those lines he would spend ~100ms per move and proceed to demolish you or Magnus Carlsen. All he has to do is avoid complications and play instantly. Stockfish is a 3900+ ELO bullet player (according to CCRL 40/2 format which is comparable to bullet) and crush all the other engines with a large margin in this time control. I'm pretty sure no human would never beat him if an adaptive strategy depending on the opponent estimated strength was implemented in stockfish.

As an example Hikaru Nakamura made a KZitem series where he casually crush 2300+ rated player sacrificing his queen against a piece, in 3+0 time control. But he know the good stategy like not exchanging too much etc. So imagine what an engine would do in bullet. He would smash the piss out of us

Guess before watching the video: I've beaten stockfish with the queen removed before and I'm around 1600 rating so I'd say you can do it with a 5 point lead, definitely with a queen though. Edit: Oh wait it's bullet, I'm changing my guess to you being a queen up. EditEdit: Yup, removing the queen makes Stockfish really docile, always ok with trading pieces for some reason.

Try beating Stockfish 8 on even material in one single game but you undo thousands of moves trying different things or maybe even trying to make him do something stupid if he decides 10 times on the same decision (there's some RNG in which move he chooses because otherwise you could just let him play itself and learn his one line and then you could beat him without outside help).

@@andy02q A depth of 25 (about 5-10 seconds of thinking) is the best performance of the engine. It might have maybe 1 better move in the whole game at depth 50. It looks like this stockfish is playing at a fixed depth of 15 or so. Of course, it'll always lose to a stockfish at 5 depths or more higher. I think the elo is given to the engine at its best performance or through engine-specific tests.

The ELO score is configured such that for every 400 points of separation between the ELO ratings of any two competitors, the lesser ranked one will statistically have a 10% chance of victory. As you´ve played near enough to 100 games, meaning a 1% win-to-loss ratio, and _Stockfish_ has a rating (you said) of 3000, that means that your rating is about 2200. Seems low, and I think the discrepancy is the crucial competitive attribute that computers do not get distracted or fatigued; however, because you are handicapping _Stockfish_ each time, the gap in ELO should be even greater.
