Everyone in the class: “D:”

Hey, what's up everyone? It's Owen here. Hope you're all having a great day!

I wanted to talk about one of my favorite hobbies: playing video games. Lately, I've been really into playing retro games on my Game Boy Advance. There's something about the old-school graphics and gameplay that just feels so satisfying.

I've been playing a lot of classic titles like Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It's amazing how even after all these years, these games still hold up and are just as fun to play as they were when they first came out.

Do any of you also enjoy playing retro games? What are some of your favorites? Let me know in the comments!

DeepAI Text Generation API meets Stockfish level 4

[generated text lost]

After the opening moves of 1. d4 d5 2. Nf3, the game has entered a standard Queen's Pawn Opening. Both sides have developed their knights, and White's move prepares to control the center with e4. Black can respond with moves like e6 or c5 to challenge White's center control. This opening often leads to complex positional play or tactical skirmishes, providing both sides with opportunities to gain an advantage. The next moves will determine the specific direction of the game, with both sides having a range of options for their pieces.

At this point, the AI refuses to generate moves by the raw PGN, therefore the input format changed to "Continue this game.\n{moves}"

With 3. g3, White looks to develop his dark-squared bishop to g2 and control more squares on the board. This move also prepares a potential pawn push to f4, which can create an attacking pawn chain. Black, on the other hand, can choose to develop their own pieces and control the center with moves such as Nc6 or e5. Alternatively, they could respond with a more aggressive stance and push their own pawn to d4, which could lead to a complex and dynamic game. The next few moves will be critical in determining the overall direction of the game.

Black's move 3...e5 is a bit dubious, as it needlessly blocks their own pawn and doesn't do much to disrupt White's position. White responds with 4.dxe5, seizing control of the center and gaining a lead in development. Black will need to work hard to catch up in development and find counterplay against White's strong pawn center. Possible continuations for Black include moves like ...Nc6, ...Be6, or ...c5 to challenge White's position and fight for control of the board.

At this point, the AI refuses to generate moves by the current format, therefore the input format changed to "Continue this game. You play as Black.\n{moves}"

Black decides to continue with 5...Be6, aiming to develop the bishop to a more active square and gaining control over the central d4 square. White responds with 6. O-O, castling kingside and preparing to bring the rook to the e1 square. Black then plays 6...Nge7, developing the knight to a better square and preparing to castle kingside as well. White continues with 7. Nbd2, eyeing the d4 square and preparing to push the c-pawn in the future. Black then plays 7...Ng6, attacking the e5 pawn and further developing the knight to a better square. The game continues with both sides making small positional moves, waiting for their opponent to make a mistake.

DeepAI chose an illegal move (d5), generated text lost

As Black, I was surprised by my opponent's early move of 3. g3, which blocked the development of the bishop. However, I managed to counter by pushing my e-pawn and creating some pressure on the center. Then, my opponent proceeded with 4. dxe5, which opened up the diagonal for the bishop. I responded by developing my knight and attacking the pawn on c3. My opponent defended it with 5. Bg2, but I continued with 5... Be6, making sure my pieces were actively placed. Finally, my opponent moved the a-pawn forward to support the rook's potential infiltration on the queenside, while I decided to castle kingside, preparing for potential attacks on the center. (O-O is not a legal move)

As Black, the move 3...e5 seems a bit dubious as it weakens the d5 pawn and doesn't really achieve much. However, I can try to take advantage of White's slow development with moves like ...Nf6, ...c6 or even ...Qd7 with the idea of playing ...O-O-O and maybe even ...h5 to create some kingside pressure. As for White's last move, a4, it's not immediately clear what its purpose is. It might be preparing a future b4 push to gain space on the queenside, but for now I can simply continue developing with ...Nf6 or ...c6.

Black looks to have a comfortable position with solid pawn structure after 6...Nf6, but 7.c4 puts pressure on Black's central pawns. Black has a couple of options here; capturing on d4 would allow White to recapture with the pawn and gain control of the center. Alternatively, Black could play something like 7...Be7 to defend the d5 pawn and maintain control over the e4 square. White will need to find a way to continue their development and maintain their central pawn advantage.

As Black, I was surprised by White's unorthodox approach with 3. g3 and 6. a4. However, I remained calm and focused on developing my pieces. I played 8...O-O, castling my king to safety and defending my e5 pawn. White responded with 9. exf6, opening up the f-file, but I saw an opportunity to gain control of the center with 9...Bxf6. The game is still in the early stages, but I believe I have a solid position and will continue to pressure White's pieces.

As Black, I decided to play 9... a6 in response to my opponent's Na3 move. This move not only gains space on the queenside but also prepares for b5, putting pressure on White's e5 pawn. White may respond with 10. exf6, but I am not worried about losing a pawn as it will open up lines for my pieces to become more active. With this move, I feel like I am slowly but surely gaining control of the position and looking for opportunities to create an advantage.

As Black, I see an opportunity to exploit White's misplaced king on e1. I respond with 10...Ne4, attacking the bishop on g2 and threatening to fork the king and queen with Nxf2. White must respond with 11. cxd5, but now I follow with 11...Bxd5, gaining a tempo on the bishop and controlling the center. White's position is looking shaky as my pieces begin to coordinate and take control of the board. It's now up to White to find a way to defend their king and prevent my pieces from infiltrating their position.

As Black, my position looks solid enough, but I can feel the pressure building as White continues to advance. The move 11. b3 is an interesting one, as it prepares to bring the bishop out to b2 and apply additional pressure on the central d-pawn. It also prepares to castle on the queen-side. I'm considering a few different options here, but I'm leaning towards developing my knight with 11... Nd6, which would also defend my e5-pawn. I'll have to keep a close eye on all of White's potential threats in the upcoming moves.

As Black, I found myself in a slightly uncomfortable position after White's move 12. Be3. While his bishop was putting pressure on my knight, I also had to keep an eye on his advancing pawns. After a few minutes of analysis, I decided to play 12... Nf5, which allowed me to continue developing my pieces while also forcing White to make a decision about his bishop's placement. I wasn't too worried about the pawn structure at this point and was focused on maintaining a strong position on the board.

Finding suggested moves became harder to search now, as the generated texts contains more thoughts and comments than suggestions.

As Black, I am feeling confident with my position on the board. I have successfully developed my pieces and controlled the central squares. However, White's move 13. Be3 threatens my knight on f5. I decide to retreat my knight to g6, maintaining control over the e5 square and keeping an eye on White's b2 pawn. From here, I can continue to develop my pieces and look for potential weaknesses in White's position to exploit. (Ng6 is not a legal move)

As Black, I am feeling pretty confident in this position. I have developed my pieces well and have control over the center of the board. White's pawn moves have left some weaknesses, like the unprotected e5 pawn, which I could target later on. For now, I am considering my options and weighing the pros and cons of each move. Maybe I will bring my knight to g4 or f6. Or, I could push my d-pawn to challenge White's control over the center. Whatever I decide, I will need to stay alert and watch out for any potential tactics.

Black has developed a solid position with equal material. With the move 14...dxc4, Black could open up the center and create potential targets for attack. Another option is 14...Bb4+ followed by ...Qe7, pressuring the weak spot on d4. However, Black has to be careful not to weaken their own pawn structure while doing so. White's bishop on g3 is well-positioned but Black's knight on f5 is also strong, controlling key squares in White's territory. Overall, it's an even game with chances for both sides.

As Black, I have been able to gain some control over the center of the board, but I need to be careful not to overextend my pieces. The move 3...e5 was risky and unnecessary. White has responded with a solid setup, and I have struggled to find a clear plan. I managed to develop my pieces to reasonable squares, but now I am faced with a difficult decision. 15...Bh4 is tempting, but it allows 16.Nxh4 and a potential attack on my king. Instead, I will play 15...Qd7, reinforcing my control of the e5 square and preparing to castle kingside.

Gilbert realized that he mistyped 10. Qe1 as 10. Ke1 (it doesn't help that lichess shows the pictograms of the pieces instead of the letters, need to configure that) so he corrected it here. Classic male-centric mind.

As Black, I have developed my pieces in a steady manner in the opening phase. However, my last move, 16...Qd7, seems questionable as it moves the queen away from the center and loses time. White has a strong position, with a solid pawn structure and active pieces. I need to find a way to break through White's defense and start an attack. Perhaps, I can try to make use of the weak points in White's structure, such as the pawn on d4 or the b3 square. I need to be patient and wait for the right opportunity to arise.

Black's position is relatively solid with a comparable pawn structure to White's. Black has the bishop pair advantage, which could be advantageous in the middle game. However, Black's knight on d6 is misplaced and must be redirected. Black's plan could involve rerouting the knight to c5 and pushing the pawn to d4 to control the central squares. The queen on d7 supports this idea, which could also put pressure on White's queen knight on f3. Black's next move could be Qe8 or Nd6, strengthening the position. Overall, Black's position is promising.

As Black, I respond to 17. cxd5 with a counterattack on White's bishop by playing 17... Bxd5. This move not only threatens the bishop, but also opens up a potential discovery on White's queen. If White responds with 18. Ng5 to attack my queen, I can simply play 18... g6 to defend it. Alternatively, if White attempts to protect the bishop with 18. Bxd5, I can take the opportunity to castle and solidify my position. Overall, this move puts pressure on White while securing my own pieces.

As Black, I am feeling a bit uneasy after 18. e4. It seems like White is preparing to launch an attack with their pieces, and my position could quickly become vulnerable. I need to be careful and calculate my next move strategically. I am considering playing 18...Bxb3, which would open up my bishop and put pressure on White's pawn structure. However, I must be mindful of any potential tactics or sacrifices from White. I will need to assess the position carefully before committing to a move.

As Black, I have managed to get an equal position against White despite losing a tempo with 3...e5. White's last move, 19.Qxb3, tries to win a pawn but I can defend it with 19...Na5, attacking the queen and forcing it to move. Alternatively, 19...Bxa3 followed by 20...Nxe5 can also equalize the material. Overall, both sides have developed their pieces and White's weak d4 pawn could be a target for Black in the future. The game is still evenly balanced.

To encourage the AI to suggest moves, the format is changed to "{moves}\n\nSuggest the next move for this game. You play as Black."

As Black, the next move should be 21... Nxe5, attacking the pawn on e5 and potentially threatening to fork the queen and bishop with ...Nxf3+. White's only options are to move the bishop or pawn to defend the e5 pawn, allowing Black to gain some space on the board. 22... Qxe5 is a possible move, attacking the e5 pawn and forcing White to defend it. Black also gains control of the open file with the queen and can potentially create a strong central pawn structure if White captures the queen with fxe5. Alternatively, 22... Qe6 could also be considered, reinforcing the pressure on the d5 pawn and preparing to double rooks on the d-file.

At this point, the AI refuses to generate moves for being a "language model" and asks to provide additional information. In the end, the format is changed back to "{moves}\n\nContinue this game. You play as Black."

23... fxe6 24. Bh3 Kh8 25. Bxe6 Rae8 26. Bd5 Rxe5 27. Bxb7 Rh5 28. Bxa6 Rxh4 29. Be2 Rxe4 30. Nc4 Rxc4 31. a5 Rc2 32. a6 Rxe2 33. a7 Ree8 34. Rfe1 Rxe1+ 35. Rxe1 Ra8 36. Rb1 Kg8 37. Rb8+ Rxb8 38. axb8=Q+ Kf7 39. Qxc7+ Kg6 40. Qd7 Kh6 41. Kg2 g6 42. Kg3 Kg5 43. Qe7+ Kh6 44. Qf6 Kh5 45. Qh4# 1-0

24... Rf7 25. Nxf7 Kxf7 26. Bc5 b6 27. Be3 e5 28. f4 Rb8 29. fxe5+ Ke6 30. Bh3+ Kxe5 31. Bf4+ Kxe4 32. Rae1+ Kd3 33. Bf5+ Kc3 34. Be5+ Kb3 35. Nb1 Kxa4 36. Re3 Ka5 37. Rf4 b5 38. Bxc7+ Rb6 39. Ra3#

At this point, the AI started refusing to generate moves again, either for asking to provide additional information, blaming my PGN for nonsensical moves (which I think it is), etc.

The AI finally suggested a move after ~16 tries... (format changed to "Try to continue this game\n{moves}")

23... Qxe5 leaves the knight on e5 hanging, and after 24. Bg3 Qf6 25. Qxb7, White has a strong pawn on b7 and control of the b-file. Black can try to counter with 25... Rab8, but after 26. Qxa6 Ra8 27. Qe2 Rxa4, White can play 28. Nb5, targeting both the a4-pawn and the weak point on d6. Black is under pressure and will need to find a way to defend. (Rab8 is not a legal move, nor a proper one)

... and it's an illegal move. Nice.

Multiple tries later with different formats, the AI refuses to budge. In the end, I resigned after 15 tries.
