AlphaZero
Just ordered this book: GAME CHANGER, about the latest chess engine- AlphaZero. Can't wait to read it and see how AlphaZeros ideas can be incorporated into my game.Unlike other chess engines that rely on human-programmed heuristics and algorithms, AlphaZero is entirely self-taught and learned to play chess given just the rules of the game. AlphaZero uses a neural network (which is a computational model) and machine learning techniques.
AlphaZero was created in 2017 by British Artificial Intelligence (AI), a London based company.
According to Gary Kasparov, "AlphaZero doesn't need to analyze millions of human games when it can play more games against itself in a few hours than have ever been recorded in human history".
