Not by any definition of "brute force" that I know about. Brute force implies searching through all possibilities, which is impossible in chess as there are too many of them.
- simion314 6y agoNot all possibilities, even basic algorithms will avoid testing invalid or obvious bad moves or do some kind of backtracking. I did not studied this NN for chess, I am wondering if they just compressed the search space while training so searching is much faster.

- simion314 6y agoPeople don't play billions of games to train. I think we have a mechanism to eliminate irrelevant inputs, focus on what is important and then we have the abstractisation and generalization tools. Then we can reuse same modules in our mind to play RTS games that are more complex then chess. Anyway do you disagree that ANN are just a search/function approximation ? Or you think that when you played an RTS for first time the brain already had itself trained from genetics or previous experienced playing in the sand and you could win on the easy difficulty level without any training on millions of games.
