Impressive work! I've been following your progress on GitHub and it's amazing how far you've come. I just forked the project and can't wait to test it out!

@chesswiz I'm also a fan! The engine's strategies are really impressive. I'd like to contribute. Do you take pull requests?

@chesswiz I'm working on my own chess engine. I take inspiration from projects like yours to learn and improve. Would you be okay if I asked you for advice and design discussions?

Can't believe an open-source chess engine has achieved a 3000 Elo rating. fantastic job!

I got a full 12-game match going between your engine and a 3000 Elo commercial engine. It's going surprisingly well. I'm excited to see what the final result is!

Did you use machine learning algorithms or other AI techniques? I'm curious how the NN (neural network) architecture is set up, especially the loss function and data-sets used.

@machinelearning_expert It doesn't use NNs, but deep reinforcement learning with several modifications including Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) for position evaluation. I'll post more info in the project wiki.

Obviously, an impressive result. But now, the question is: can it hold against the commercial engines? Looking forward to the comparisons!

@ai_engineer Thanks! Yes, I hope to compare it to other engines both open and closed source soon. I'll post an update with the results in the project repo.

Well done! The FOSS world can flourish without compromising on performance. Cheers to many more milestones from open-source projects like yours!
