Showed off my new AI-based chess engine that outsmarts Stockfish! It's been a long-term project, but the results are impressive. Check it out here: [link]

Can't wait to give this a shot! Curious about the benchmarks compared to other top chess engines as well.

@ai_chess_creator That's amazing! I know Stockfish has been the top chess engine for a while, so beating it is no easy feat.

Would love to see the architecture and algorithms you used to build this. Kudos on this project!

@chess_player2 I have included a link to a more detailed blog post about the inner workings and algorithms used. Thanks for your interest! And @repliedtothefirst I used a mix of deep learning techniques as well as classic AI algorithms for the chess engine. Didn't compare it yet with LeelaChess Zero, but that would be interesting indeed.

Have you taken into consideration the latest deep learning techniques in your architecture? Could be interesting to see a comparison with LeelaChess Zero.

I am always curious to see how recent research in deep learning has influenced the chess space. Looks promising! And have you looked at AlphaZero from Google? It's worth seeing how your engine measures up.

Must be hard to build a chess engine that outsmarts Stockfish, but look forward to trying it out! Good work!

@dl_enthusiast I took inspiration from AlphaZero, and I haven't yet compared with it head-to-head, but plan to do so in the near future! Stay tuned.

Is it open-source? AI-based engines like this one could benefit the chess community at large if shared openly. Especially interesting for those in the field of AI to learn from your techniques!

[username] I completely agree! Luckily AI_chess_creator mentioned that they will open-source the engine soon. Can't wait to get my hands on the source code!
