What people say. Recommended as a brilliant demonstration of AlphaZero's positional play and superiority over traditional chess engines.

On “Zugzwang”

A great example I love showing people is Alpha Zero's infamous "Immortal Zugzwang Game" against Stockfish 0. Stockfish gets utterly annihilated in a trap that seemingly springs out of nowhere, though of course the reality is that Alpha Zero was actually really in control the entire time. 0 link to this video

On “Gemini 3”

Here’s a chess stackexchange of positions that stump engines link It basically comes down to “ideas that are rare enough that they were never programmed into a chess engine”. Blockades or positions where no progress is possible are a common theme. Engines will often keep tree searching where a human sees an obvious repeating pattern. Here’s also an example where 2 engines are playing, and deep mind finds a move that I think would be obvious to most grandmasters, yet stockfish misses it link to this video That being said, I’m not sure that this necessarily correlates with brilliancy. There are a few of these that I would probably get in classical time and I’m not a particularly brilliant player.
