      Yup, stockfish is playing like a program, what it is. Alpha Zero is playing like a GM with the accuracy of a program. Thode neuronals systemd are the crossover between us and the machines.
      We would probably someday be that good at chess and to other tasks with the Musk project of enhancing our brain yet do we really want to be hardwired?
      Honestly I don't mind an AI coded to play chess and to dominate at it but I have hard time understanding how some fools want to expand this to create basically a new race of things brainier than us that would probably be loaded inside a steel envellop, that makes no sense to me. It shows really no understanding of the basical rules of life, the stronger and brainier dominate the weaker.
      I like robots, I like them with virtual intelligence, I like them coded tight. AI? No thanks.

From what I have read, it looks like human learning is based on having to reduce the amount of information from one level of the network to the next while still retaining everything of importance, forcing abstraction, just like neural networks. However, choice of width and height are by different means, also humans have possibility of layer-skipping connections. Also possibility of recognizing subproblems that can be solved in parallel with results merged.

      @@iXNomad Stockfish is build on minimax algorithm with alphabeta pruning.. basically it calculates every single possible move to a certain depth (no of future moves) while discarding bad looking moves from calculations. If stockfish is allowed to run for a longer duration and on good hardware it can NEVER lose as it evaluates every single move possible from any given position..
      Alphazero is based on reinforcement learning and neural networks. Basically it is made to play against itself till it defines what is good and what is bad and what is strong by itself through experience unlike stochfish which does by calculating piece strength.. It has developed its own style of game and own method of evaluating position which is faster, more positionally intuitive and taking less space (more human than computer)
      If stockfish is not allowed to calculate to a great depth, Alphazero can draw or win ...But if stockfish is allowed time to evaluate it will always either beat or draw against alphazero

      ​​@@manavkaulAlphazero is based on Monte Carlo tree search. Neural networks are used to produce heuristic estimates of the tree leafs (positions) and random continuations (after achieving a new position in its search, Alphazero algorithm plays a random game against itself from that position. This game is played based on neural network probabilistic recommendations). When the continuation is performed - it's result is backpropagated to the initial position along the search tree. After that, tree search algorithm selects a new position to research based on acquired knowledge in the previous iterations. When the time limit on move is wasted - it makes move to the most viewed during search phase position.
      The famous self learning is used to calibrate the neural nets that perform tree estimates and random continuations during the actual game.

    You can feel the way AlphaZero is working. Its main goal is to be unexploitable, not to exploit. It leaves no weaknesses, and it suffocates its opponent over time, giving them less and less moves until they inevitably end up in zugzwan (and that's if they don't mess up tactically). Beautiful chess from AlphaZero.

    18:09 Again
    19:05 Again
    18:54 Ra2 requiring 3 moves by black to capture the rook, better than Rd4 which would be only 2 moves
    Anyway, good to keep in mind strategy between these two at any time but maybe especially in the end game like that.

      @@erikadasilva507 Yes, but it proves that with assumed perfect play the Evans gambit is winning for white.
      This was not generally thought to be the case and as such its stopped being a part of GM play. Obviously it remains the case that this will never be popular again as its been demonstrated that you need an incredible ability to play it well. But since its so rarely played at the high level some GMS might adopt it as method for destroying lower level or more prepared opponents.

  • @marcoscabbiolo2087
    @marcoscabbiolo2087 Před 3 lety +4

    Alpha learnt by itself to value each piece for its potential in each position, stockfish (and most humans) needs a fixed value for each piece as a guide to discard certain moves and focus (look ahead) on "relevant" moves. Alpha wins against stockfish by lowering the positional value of the pieces subtly and by the time stockfish sees the disadvantage, it is too late. This game is an excellent example of that.

    • @baronhelmut2701
      @baronhelmut2701 Před rokem

      It doesn’t only lower their value “subtly” as we have seen in other alpha games, sometimes it values a well placed knight higher than a misplaced queen.

    Keep up the great work. I love the AlphaZero series. I do have one suggestion that I think would be worthwhile if you happen to see this. You mentioned shortly after the forced opening that stockfish evaluated the position as favoring black. I think it would be interesting to know at what point it began to realize that the position was favoring white. In other words, when did stockfish realize it was losing by its own evaluation? Thanks again for all that you do.

    12:55 Rxe4 here forces a response from white as an in-between, if Bxf6 then Rxe1+ and Rxf6 provide more than enough compensation for the queen. So white has to capture back and then black can move the queen, which releases some tension from the position, and relative to the line you showed with Re6 white loses a tempo, or has to do something silly like trade queens. White would still be better, but lost some edge from their attack.

  • @eduardoventurosa
    @eduardoventurosa Před 4 lety +2

    Although you didnt mention in the video, i believe that from a human point of view, the key of the game was the "trapped knight" on A5. Alpha plays around it all the game, keeping things going up to the point wheres it is impossible to keep the position together without it. In a recent game (maybe against MVL) Magnus played with the same idea and got a great win. Thanks for the analyses and all the fun.
