The updated AlphaZero crushed Stockfish 8 in a new 1,000-game match, scoring +155 -6 =839. ( See below for three sample games from this match with analysis by Stockfish 10 and video analysis by GM Robert Hess.) AlphaZero also bested Stockfish in a series of time-odds matches, soundly beating the traditional engine even at time odds of 10 to one.

The significance of the AlphaZero v. Stockfish games is to show that a neural net (NN) trained from scratch ("zero" human games/input/wisdom) can defeat a hand-crafted engine, given sufficient compute power. This would not be possible with a brute-force search, no matter how much hardware DeepMind threw at it.

To evaluate performance in chess, we used Stockfish version 8 (official Linux release) as a baseline program. Stockfish was configured according to its 2016 TCEC world championship superfinal settings: 44 threads on 44 cores (two 2.2GHz Intel Xeon Broadwell CPUs with 22 cores), a hash size of 32GB, syzygy endgame tablebases, at 3 hour time controls with 15 additional seconds per move.

@zozzers I remember when I was studying i tried to make a NN neural network to learn from stockfish evaluations, when testing on colab first 2 moves took 1 minute to process, but the next ones even with a small depth (02) it was pain waiting hours to make it play a move As you said I think that engines like alpha zero has more future for improvement even though training them needs a lot of

But it needs about 1.25 TB of disk space for this position, even in 'Search for draw' mode, so I won't be trying it. I would guess it's a draw though. - Stephen. Jul 23, 2020 at 19:58. 1. @Stephen the position may be a theoretical draw with a perfect defense but to all practical effects White is winning. - David.

GM Joel Benjamin's analysis of the match AlphaZero vs. StockFish. I'll look into an important phenomenon on the chess landscape, AlphaZero, who just released more match games played against the powerhouse publicly available program, Stockfish. The games were from a private match of 1,000 games that resulted in 155 wins for Alpha Zero, 6 for

Friday, December 7, 2018 at 10:07PM. It was a year ago that AlphaZero took the chess world by storm, beating Stockfish in a 100-game match. AZ won 28 games and drew the remaining 72. This year, there was another match. The time control was slower than the minute-a-move control from last year; this time it was 3 hours for each side for the game

AlphaZero's learning happens using a neural network, which can be visualized like this: A neural network is our attempt at making a computer system more like the human brain and less like, well, a computer. The input, i.e., the current position on the chessboard, comes in on the left. It gets processed by the first layer of neurons, each of

AlphaZero learnt everything else through self-play. The knowledge acquired during this training was stored in so-called neural networks. These networks were later used in the match against Stockfish to evaluate positions. Put simply, the neural networks are responsible for selecting the best move in a position.

It uses a very different approach and that approach is very resource intensive. In fact, during the match AlphaZero was evaluating 80 thousand positions per second while Stockfish was clocking at 70 million positions per second. Now tell me that AlphaZero won because of a stronger hardware.

But just calling them sacrifices further reinforces these supposed piece values. Even stockfish is programmed with these concepts. Whereas Alpha Zero has no idea of the value of a knight vs 2 pawns or a rook versus a bishop, it understands things at a more abstract level, that at this point we don't even know.

The news about AlphaZero beating Stockfish 64-36 without a single loss after just four hours of self-training has shocked the chess world. Chess.com has early reactions from the London Chess Classic participants and from one of the original authors of Stockfish.

This gives the activations of a ResNet the following simple structure: z d + 1 = z d + f θ d ( z d), [2] where z d are the activations at depth d = 1, …, D = 20; f θ d is the function implemented by the d th residual block; and z 0 is the input. In the AlphaZero network, all residual blocks are two-layer rectified convolutions.

In contrast, AlphaGo uses Monte Carlo tree search and convolutional neural networks. They are trained in an reinforcement learning setting. AlphaGo is promoted as being almost directly applicable to different settings (Go, Chess), while stockfish is only applied to Chess. The techniques of stockfish can also be applied to Go, but the problem is

https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/16pyvwj/why_does_alphazero_still_feel_so_legendary/
The reason AlphaZero was able to play those moves was because it played against Stockfish 8 and the development version of Stockfish 10. Put modern Leela and Stockfish 16 up against SF8 and 10 and they will thrash them far more convincingly than AlphaZero did, and will do so playing principled chess, with better positional understanding than

https://www.chess.com/article/view/how-does-alphazero-play-chess
IM Danny Rensch explains the AlphaZero match in a series of videos on Twitch. The Analysis Tree. Chess engines use a tree-like structure to calculate variations, and use an evaluation function to assign the position at the end of a variation a value like +1.5 (White's advantage is worth a pawn and a half) or -9.0 (Black's advantage is worth a queen).

That is a non-sensical request, though. You could give SF all the TPUs it wanted, and it wouldn't help at all. TPUs are specialised hardware for executing neural networks. Stockfish is not a neural network. You could argue that AlphaZero should rather be run on a 64 CPU machine , like SF, but that is non-sensical in the same way.
