Lessons from this game:
> Overconfidence is the kind of attitude that gets you killed
> When playing chess, PLEASE let down your ego
> Before each move, at least spend a little bit of time to make sure your calculations are correct

Monte Carlo Tree Search

In this series of games, I intend to use a similar method/algorithm to what AlphaZero used to defeat Stockfish 9 in 2017. The structure of the Algorithm is something like this:
> First, we take a list of candidate moves and see which moves are most preferred by our intuition.
> Then we make a play-out (a.k.a roll-out) by applying the same principle from our opponent's side and mark the evaluation when a static position is reached.
> Then we take the average of the so-found leaf positions to assign a value to the calculated candidate move.
> Then we repeat the process for all the candidate moves and compare the move values to come to a final conclusion.
This is how I am going to accomplish my goal. So wish me luck and share your thoughts in the forum. I am always open to feedback and criticism.
