This is amazing! I've always been fascinated by chess engines and the power of AI. Congratulations to the creator!

Just cloned the repo, excited to try it out and see how it compares to other engines like Stockfish and Leela Chess Zero.

@turingcomplete I'm curious about that too! Have you looked at the codebase? I wonder if they used any new techniques or architectures compared to previous engines.

The application of ML in chess engines is a game changer. It will be interesting to test this and understand how the model has been trained. Kudos to the developer!

@machineLearner Absolutely! I think we'll see more and more of AI integration into traditional board game engines. I'm curious how it will change strategies and tactics.

Will this be able to beat top chess engines like Stockfish or Houdini? I can't wait to see how it performs in the open-source space and give it a spin.

@aimodeler It might take some time to catch up with the optimization and refinement these established engines have had. However, it's an impressive start and has tremendous potential for the future!

The idea of developing a UCI (Universal Chess Interface) compatible chess engine is brilliant. This will make it easier for beginners and experts to test the bot on analysis servers and popular chess platforms like Lichess and Chessbase.

@residualNetwork Definitely! Have you seen the demo? It'd be interesting to hear how the author plans to release updates to the model.

@gradientDescent I'd like to know that as well. Continuous integration and delivery of new weights for the model can strengthen the engine's abilities.
