Stockfish’s King Begins in JAIL vs Hikaru Bot!
We place Stockfish’s King nice and tightly behind enemy lines... Will Stockfish be able to rescue it in time? Or will the Hikaru Nakamura Bot prevail in checkmating Stockfish once and for all!
Fun fact: if you let Stockfish think for long enough, it finds a forced mate in 12 for Black from the starting position! Here is the line :D
