There was a project for chess, called giraffe https://bitbucket.org/waterreaction/giraffe https://bitbucket.org/waterreaction/giraffe whose author shut it down after joining google deep mind: http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59003 http://www.talkchess.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=59003
He thinks it's only a matter of time till machine learning beats hand crafted systems like stockfish even in chess.

- nojvek 9y agoDoes alphazero beat stock fish purely by self play. That would be huge. Stock fish is the result of so many hand crafted optimizations over a large game play dataset.
- thom 9y agoIntuitively you'd expect deep learning to improve on Stockfish's evaluation of positions, but perhaps not at the same level of throughput. I'm also intrigued as to whether a purely self-taught AI system can compare in the endgame to an engine with access to a 7-piece endgame tablebase, whose evaluation of those positions is obviously _perfect_.
