  Hi, I'm a Stockfish dev and wanted to explain the significance of this engine for those who are curious. Reckless is an open-source engine with very similar methodology to Stockfish (alpha-beta pruning, NNUE evaluation). I see the two engines as "teammates" rather than competitors because of the sheer amount of cross-pollination that happens between them. One nice example was one of my ideas (hindsight reduction) that gained ~6 Elo on Stockfish and was integrated into and refined by Reckless, and I brought that refinement back into Stockfish to gain another ~1 Elo. We're unlikely to see Reckless surpass Stockfish any time soon because any big idea implemented in one engine quickly makes its way into the other, but this is a positive since it means all the top open-source engines are benefiting from each other! There's also further collaboration happening between Stockfish and Leela Chess Zero, where Stockfish recently gained ~4 Elo from training on special data from Leela nets and Leela is using Stockfish to accelerate testing. Exciting times :)

  Every time Levy says "I would destroy you in chess" I just want to see Magnus reacting to this video since he already did it a couple of times

  When levy resigns against a bot you know that the situation is bad
