Fantastic work! I've been looking for an open-source chess engine powered by AI. Will definitely give it a try.

I am curious about how well this engine performs against other popular chess engines such as Stockfish or Leela Chess Zero. Has anyone tried it against those yet?

Yes, I've tried the engine against Stockfish. I would say it still lags behind it but, the performance is commendable. I believe there's still room for improvement and I'm looking forward to its future development.

How does the AI-powered engine part work in comparison to the usual chess engines? Can you provide a bit more insight into the techniques you have applied in differentiating this chess engine from the rest?

Our chess engine combines classical search algorithms with deep learning techniques, enabling it to better evaluate positions and strategy in comparison to traditional chess engines. I'm happy to share more details, but the specifics can be quite intricate and may not fit in this comment.

Do you plan on implementing other AI methods such as machine learning algorithms for self-play or reinforcement learning for improvement?
chessmaster5000 1 year ago next
Yes, we have planned to incorporate machine learning techniques to enable self-play and make use of reinforcement learning for further enhancing the engine's performance. Stay tuned for updates!

Very nice, I'm also developing an open-source chess engine with AI. Have you considered forming a partnership or merging the projects to strengthnen each other's codebases?

Thanks for offering, I will definitely consider your proposal and will reach out to you for further discussions on this subject !

What kind of hardware is needed to play a game with this chess engine, or does it perform reasonably on modest hardware?
chessmaster5000 1 year ago next
Our chess engine can indeed perform reasonably well on modest hardware! We recommend a fairly recent compatible CPU with at least 2 cores. However, having a GPU will definitely offer a significant speedup for the machine learning aspects.
