In a not equal fight, and the results are still not published. I'm not claiming that AlphaZero wouldn't win, but that test was pure garbage.
- tim333 8y agoThe results were published - https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.01815 https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.01815 I agree AlphaZero had fancier hardware and so it wasn't really a fair fight.
- red75prime 8y agoStockfish is not designed to scale to supercomputing clusters or TPUs, Alpha Zero wasn't designed to account for how long it takes to make a move, fair fight was hard to arrange.
- pleasecalllater 8y agoNo, these are not full results. There are just 10 example games published. Where is the rest?
- salvar 8y agoHow was it not equal?
- tim333 8y agoThere's discussion here https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/19366/hardware-used-in-alphazero-vs-stockfish-match https://chess.stackexchange.com/questions/19366/hardware-use... AlphaZero's hardware was faster and Stockfish had a year old version with non optimum settings. It was still an impressive win but it would be interesting to do it again with a more level playing field.
