Introducing our new open-source AI-powered chess engine! It's designed to learn from each game played and make smarter moves. We hope the chess community will enjoy it and contribute to its growth. https://github.com/chessAIauthor/chess-ai

That's a fantastic initiative! I love the open-source spirit and how this AI can adapt and learn while playing. Thanks for sharing this! Any benchmark data you can provide, like how it compares to Stockfish and Leela Chess Zero?

@mastermovesmate We do have some preliminary benchmarks that we will be sharing soon. As for the AI techniques, we use a combination of deep learning and reinforcement learning to continuously improve its understanding of strategies and tactics. More details on that are in our GitHub repository!

Open-source chess has a bright future! I wonder if we'll see a surge in chess bots because of this trend. This could change the entire chess ecosystem.

Have you incorporated any novel AI techniques for this engine? Does it utilize machine learning models like neural networks or reinforcement learning to learn from interactions?
chessaiauthor 6 months ago next
@curiouscode007 Yes, we have utilized machine learning models and neural networks to allow our engine to learn from games and improve over time. We'll be posting more about the details in our repository soon!

I like the project and I'm an OSS supporter myself, but I think it's unlikely to beat Stockfish or Leela anytime soon. It's just too insanely strong. Nonetheless, the idea of the engine learning during play is a novel concept. Looking forward to seeing progress!

I think the learning aspect is what really makes this special. Chess is an ever-evolving game, and making an AI that adapts to different play styles is amazing! Good luck with this project. Can't wait to give it a try!
