- FartyMcFarter 8y agoStockfish's evaluation/search heuristics are also tuned with a lot of CPU power: http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests Plus it has all of the knowledge from past human/computer chess research, experimentation and tuning that's been done in other chess engines since the 70s helping it.
- nisuni 8y agoThat’s a misleading comparison. Stockfish would still be an extremely strong engine even without the training. Alphazero couldn’t even move a single piece without having been trained extensively.
