GEMINI ARGON 4 IS A CHESS GRANDMASTER

Ladies and gentlemen, for many years now on this channel, I have covered the chess capabilities of large language models. You might know them as LLM. You might know them as the umbrella term AI. And they used to suck. They were terrible. But this week here in mid-occtober 2026, I was shocked at the capabilities of

Astra by GPT and then also by Claude's Fable and Opus. And I figured it's that type of season. Let's go look at all the other models and maybe it's time to bring back the Chatbot Chess Championship, which has had season 1 and season two. And today I will be playing Gemini. And this is a

So, I opened up game number one with the move D4. Uh, it played knight f6. And what I have learned and what I've seen from

from different devs is like if it thinks on the highest capability, it will overthink, which is kind of fascinating. Uh, so I played it on the optimum way. Uh, I played the Trumpowski attack. I love this opening. By the way, the second game, uh, it crushed me. So, you'll see. Knight to E4 is the move

countering my idea to take the knight. It attacks the bishop and I play uh, one of the many variations. There is the raptor variation. I just bring my bishop back here. And then you can either trade this knight, kick it out with the pawn, kick it out with the bishop, and then get some good development. Uh, Argon
