The press kit section of the page says it has AI opponents. At first this didn't seem remarkable to me since it's a standard feature of most chess games.
But, how would that work? Would they have to create a new AI implementation? An off-the-shelf chess AI presumably doesn't understand the best strategies for multiverses. Unless there is some trick to apply an off-the-shelf AI to this.
- thomasahle 6y agoThere is no trick, but game AI is pretty well understood, and it would probably only take a couple of weeks to get a decent AI.
- repiret 6y agoOff the shelf techniques for zero sum games of perfect knowledge would work though. Minimax and Monte Carlo Tree Search and reinforcement learning from self-play. Leela has been adopted to play both go and chess, I suspect it would be practical to adopt it to play any game.
- fctorial 6y agoDoesn't chess AI just create a tree of all possible moves (up to a certain depth (limited by difficulty setting and computer resources)) and choose the best one. As long as the board mutation rules are well defined, it should be straightforward to create an AI.
