Chess engines are a big thing in chess. Ever since Garry Kasparov lost to Deep Blue, they have kept getting stronger to the point that no humans can even come close. If you want to analyze a line and make it as precise as possible, you better have the strongest chess computer by your side….
Alphazero is legendary, in a world dominated by chess engines who perform brute force calculations, it shines as a beaming light. Alphazero’s games against stockfish will forever be engraved in history, it is quite remarkable. When alphazero hits the scene the players are impressed, not only by the result of the games, they are also…
Chess 960 is an interesting variant in chess. It is basically like regular chess, except you remove the factor of memorization and let the players decide the result by skill. It contains many random positions that might not occur in regular games, you can tell the difference just from looking. One of the things that…
Magnus Carlsen has the edge over Deep Blue in a consecutive match format, given that he will have an intense home preparation as with his other world championship matches. Deep Blue is inferior to modern chess computers and Magnus will definitely be capable of beating it. Chess engines used to be this unproven concept that…
Chess engines that are lower-tiered will regularly make mistakes or even a blunder. Strong chess engines are susceptible to making inaccuracies if not to their fullest depth, but never seem to make a mistake. The strongest chess computers never commit a mistake or a blunder. Chess engines have demonstrated their ability to find moves so…
The creation of Alphazero and its successor, Leela Chess Zero marks the time where neural networks become popular. Machine learning is something that fascinates a lot of people. The idea that a man-made creation can come so close to a thinking being is amazing, even godly. Some have wondered if this is the same mechanism…
Chess grandmasters can generally beat lower-middle tiered chess computers just fine. High-tiered computers can only be beaten if there are time restrictions and some other handicap. At their strongest (fullest depth), supercomputers will not be beaten by any super grandmaster. Grandmasters are the pinnacle of human strength when it comes to chess as they are…
A couple of years ago there was a storm of coverage that came to the newly introduced AI neural network known as alpha zero, the ai dominated a lot of pursuits. What I will be talking about today is the accomplishments of Alpha zero when it comes to chess (since this is a chess website)…
Between a battle of chess engines, the one with the stronger fixed depth search is likely to win although not certain. Other algorithms are surfacing which may have lower depth but can beat a stronger one, like the neural chess computer. Computers have a reputation for being the strongest chess-playing entity that has been witnessed…
Chess engines use a combination of three algorithms namely Fixed depth minimax, Alpha-Beta Pruning, and Quiescence search to coherently evaluate chess positions. The computer will analyze the search tree and find the best moves. Chess engines are supreme entities that can analyze a position’s essence to a toe. I doubt that there will be many…
