Then along came Deep Mind, who poured in their resources and built a world-beating engine that learned the game itself within 24 hours. Naturally, there were plenty of special conditions in play, such as having access to thousands of incredibly powerful processors to help develop its ability in such a short time, but they did it.
Consider that if Murray Campbell and Co. The new Alpha Zero chess program lead to an astounding media frenzy , and just as much controversy in the chess world. Much was made about the conditions of the match against a thread version of Stockfish used to test its strength, but this was to completely overlook the important aspect of it all: a new world-class engine, using a completely new method and technique, had been developed in 24 hours.
What was more, anyone was invited to make their own. This was not nearly as easy as might seem. For one thing, a single person could hardly do it at home with a single machine, or even a room full.
But some programmers took up the challenge, and after developing a Go program, Leela Zero , the strongest one publicly available now, based on community effort and contributions, it has been transferred to chess. It is hosted at the LCZero site and there one can not only find the engine but the latest version of the neural networks — the brain if you will. The project is still in its infancy, having only really started two months ago. As it depends very much on help by others to contribute computer time, the beginning was slow as time was needed for word to get around, tools developed to make it easy, etc.
On a laptop equipped with a quad-core i7 and a fast GTXM graphics card, it plays at around Elo or so. Remember that this is after just two months of self-learning.
This give and take has defined engines on the PC since the beginning of computer chess. I grimaced, knowing this meant Leela was going to get trounced, but still decided to play a small match of minute games just to gauge its play. I found myself forced to stop the match early after it was for…. I check and triple-checked the settings to make sure everything was fine.
Master Class Vol. He was a child prodigy and he is surrounded by legends. In his best times he was considered to be unbeatable and by many he was reckoned to be the greatest chess talent of all time: Jose Raul Capablanca, born in Havana. I then tried another engine, Delphil 3. What on earth was going on?? I never heard of an engine compensating hundreds of Elo of tactical gaps with pure positional play. That is a human thing, not a machine. With a description of an engine compensating tactical weaknesses with massive positional play, you might expect games that looked like Carlsen or Capablanca, with controlled complications, and then a boa constrictor win later, right?
Not even close! Leela Zero makes Topalov, the king of exchange sacrifices, look like a timid milkmaid. It plays a ton of speculative moves, readily giving up pawns, exchanges and more for activity and play. Please note the word speculative, because I doubt very much these are all correct. However, they do make for very entertaining games, and what is more, it plays the endgame impressively well.
Take a look at the following game, which sort of illustrates some of the surprises it can come up with:. The English Opening Vol. Williams main teaching method behind this set of two DVDs is to teach you some simple yet effective set ups, without the need to rely on memorising numerous complicated variations. In the position above, White Leela played the lovely And went on to win after 38…dxc5 I caught up with Gary Linscott pictured , the person who spearheaded the Leela Chess Zero project and helped make it what it is today.
Albert Silver: Hi Gary, congratulations on the fascinating project. How did it come into existence? Concept, execution, etc. Gary Linscott: The AlphaZero paper was a landmark — it was the first time traditional techniques had been defeated in over 20 years. I had wanted to learn about reinforcement learning, and this provided a great motivation. I even started a small version of this project in python with a co-worker, but we weren't generating anywhere near enough games to make reasonable progress.
Then, Leela Zero really started to take off. A user named benediamond got the ball rolling with a non-working prototype of chess support for Leela Zero.
It needed a fair bit of additional work, which I did, and then coded up the server and client in Go [the coding language, not the game -Ed. Then, I launched it on Talkchess , and the support has been incredible since then! Is it just you, or others, or? GL: There is an extremely active community! Folkert Huizinga Error was one of the earliest to join and has been the driving force behind the training process, which generates the new networks.
