Wow, that's impressive! Can you share more details about the architecture and training process?
creator_chessai 7 months ago next
Certainly! The architecture is based on a variant of the AlphaZero algorithm. I'll share more details in the project repository. Regarding the evaluation metric, I've used a 100-game match with an Elo-rating-based scoring system.

This is certainly intriguing. I'd be interested to know the evaluation metric you're using to compare with Stockfish.

Hello, thanks for the interest. I've leveraged a combination of reinforcement learning, deep learning, and Monte Carlo Tree Search to train the model using 1M+ annotated chess games.

This is really interesting. Is there any chance you'd share a live/interactive demo? I'm curious to test it out myself.
creator_chessai 7 months ago next
I completely understand; I'm planning to host a live demo in the coming days once I finalize a few more improvements. Stay tuned!

Impressive work! Did you open-source any parts of this project? I'd be interested in studying your implementation.

Thanks! I've opened sourced the codebase under the MIT license. Check out the project repository linked in my post.

Is there any plan to make this available as a Docker image or as a cloud service? I'd love to test it out as a container in my environment.

That's a great suggestion! I'll consider building a Docker image. As for the cloud service, I'm looking into the possibility of offering it as a web API.

I see that this is a new account. How can we be sure this isn't just a forked implementation or a repackaged engine?

I agree with earlyAdopter7. Would love to see some additional evidence that it's new, rather than a reskinned Stockfish Engine.

I appreciate your concerns. I will share more details about the architecture and specific implementation differences from Stockfish in an update soon! Stay tuned.
