Right after Stockfish wins the computer championship, AlphaZero shows up "Oh hai guys, whats this game called? Chess?", 4 hours later he is like "Here stockfish, munch on these 2 pawns and get in your corner like a good boy"

Alpha Zero also had no book and it only "trained" for 4 hours. They will most likely train Alpha Zero much more (perhaps many months) and then do official chess competition against all the strongest engines.

the 4 hour is also a lie, it was training for at least twice as much longer + it didn't only play without an opening book, it had no access to tablebases either

maybe i am an idiot but the most fascinating part was the opening. in 4 hours it practically had come up with a classical main line of the queen's indian. in a weird way validating human effort of decades haha, but that is scary in it self, thinking that ok now we know we did well, because this algorithm knew it in 4 hours.

[@ryuisonline8816]

Νυανγκάο Athanasios Makris But just think, the only reason the computer was able to come up with these solutions was because humans created it. It might be a lot better at chess than any human being, but it shows that humans have that capability to improve.

[@a.nyangao.m]

I can't argue with that. We can certainly improve. And I won't act like I know how these algorithms work, but Aga said that it was given nothing but the rules. So I took that as it played d4 because it quickly figured out that controlling the center is important for example and then built up from that. But maybe the true culprit is the opponent, Stockfish, that knows the openings. A0 was finding the best moves to continue from what Stockfish was fishing for in its database. So we still have done well in chess as a species haha

It knows all the openings now, btw. And wins all of them too, the PDF is pretty short, take a look.

It is interesting that Google's deep mind does not just calculate moves but also has a plan of steering the games into positions to immobilise the pieces no matter what it takes and then bust open positions by sacrificing some material to gain advantage(kinda like Ivanchuk) but maybe this is the greatest strategy possible in chess and what stockfish has done so far is to just calculate by brute force without any strategy

[@HawkOfGP]

The problem is that some of the lines these engines may play are so risky that if you aren't 100% of accurate you will blunder the whole game and even the greatest GMs will struggle to find those moves every time.

[@alankilgore1132]

Thanks for making this game available, it is the first I heard of it. It appears that 100 games were played between Stockfish 8 (S8) and the Google entry, AlphaZero or DeepMind (DM). It seems we are comparing apples/oranges in terms of the hardware on which the games were played. DM was played using 4 TPUs (Tensor Processing Units which are little super-computers that do specialized work). S8 was said to run using 64 threads (does this imply CPUs?), and 1G of hash. S8 isn’t the most recent version, and it also plays endgames better when it has Syzygy endgame tablebases available. The paper doesn’t mention this. It does say that S8 was searching at 70 million positions per second, which is about right if 64 CPU’s are available. DM searches 80 thousand (that’s right) positions a second and according to the paper, is highly selective in its search. This has been the holy grail of chess engines since they were first conceived. Humans don’t look at every possible move, but how do you design software to think like humans. S8 and other modern beyond-human (they use superhuman way too much in the paper) engines do it by pruning the hell out of the search tree. All captures and some checks are examined, but after that, only a few “quiet” moves qualify for examination. This is how S8 can search so far ahead in a short amount of time. We also don't know either side had an opening book, though I’m guessing no. I agree with your Tal comparison. DM does appear to always be looking for the series of attacking moves. Very aggressive. But here we must consider a couple of things. Tactical move sequences, where both sides are trading pieces can only be resolved by tree searches using current state of the art engines. Has the AI of DM found a better way? After all, it is only searching 80K positions/second. Is this enough speed to resolve deep combinations? They paper doesn’t describe what goes on in their searching, but we know from experience that most chess games are won/loss by the balance of material. This is especially true at the early stages of the game, where if you are down a minor piece, it is a tough battle to catch up. Searching a tree and only considering the captures can be fast, since the problem self-reduces by the nature of removing a piece from the board with each capture. The paper doesn’t indicate how “deep” their search is. I’m sure more will come out of this as more papers are published. The claim was made that DM was only given the rules of the game, which I assume means it was not given information about the merit of various elements, such as is having a Bishop pair vs a Knight pair is good or bad, but it might have been told to consider that feature in its learning. This is how chess engine evaluations work. they measure many "features" of a position and then come up with a number that represents how good/bad the position is. Regression analysis is usually used to combine many features. Again, not sure how Google did it with DM, but I’m curious. Their algorithms must measure something, so what are their features? AI techniques have been around for some time, and there is nothing new about self-learning chess engines. I would take some claims, such as it only was taught the rules of chess, with a grain of salt until we know more about what the neural network is measuring. Show me the details! Back to the game and the pivotal moment. 21. Bg5 WOW! I agree, where did this come from? I let SF chew on this for 90min looking at the top 5 moves and it got up to 41 plies (20 moves by each side) and found Bg5 as the best move. SF is only searching 1.3 million positions/second on my slow laptop, but according to the paper, each side was only given 1 min per move. So, based on some simple math, SF should have found Bg5 in 90 min on my laptop if the move was that decisive. I then had SF search the top 5 moves... So what this really means is, DM found a 20 move ahead move and SF8 agrees. well beyond what we mere humans can figure out! You ask what DM’s rating is? Based on the paper, it is just slightly better than SF8 at 3300-3400. They played 100 games, with each side playing white and black equally. DM won 25 games as white and rest were draws. DM won 3 games as black, the rest were draws. DM did not lose a game. Amazing….

[@1001011011010]

Alan Kilgore I don't think DM was given any openings, and I don't think they are that close if DM never lost once in a hundred games but won many games, with the rest ties. I could be wrong about the opening books though

[@klieu90210]

lsduuhyik ygytyuui 1i thought they just played 100 games.

[@graysonparker1593]

There are videos on how deepmind works, or how the newest one which uses reinforcement works. Reinforcement learning basically means it plays against itself over and over again, recognizing new patterns over and over again that lead to a win more often. It starts just playing randomly at first, and recognizes patterns that lead to winning( like castleing). The thing that is amazing about this is that there is no human involvement whatsoever. It has learned from complete scratch, and has deduced the best possible lines and theories and ways to play the game in 4 HOURS. This is also kind of sad as well. If you run deepmind longer, it will eventually get to a point where it is playing chess the best way it can possibly be played. If they do that, chess will literally be complete, in my opinion. There will be no further discussions about what the best move is in a position. Sure, you don’t have to play that move, but the fact that you know it is the best is kind of sad to me.

[@1001011011010]

Grayson Parker this is an assumption. Perhaps let it play against itself even longer and it will realize that last move previously thought best was actually not. Even though it was only 4 hours, do you know how many thousands or millions of games it went through?

[@GinoTheSinner]

I watch these games and sometimes zone out for a second or two, then I get taken back by stockfish somehow being in even deeper trouble than just some 4 moves earlier. I continually have to pause the video and go back to look how it happened. There are some very seamless transitions from position to position and stockfish is fumbling in the dark. This is incredible.

[@monkeysrightpaw]

Very moving. NEVER thought I'd see something hand stockfish such a profound loss. Damn! What can I say.

[@grolich]

Amazing. Just a note of the variation shown where Stockfish didn't capture on g5 - actually Stockfish considers it a very bad position for black to capture, and the reason is clear - The variation you gave contains a small error - instead of the incorrect hxg7 in the middle of the variation (which indeed leads to a balanced position according to Stockfish), just Qd4 leads to a winning position for white.

Nice touch with the Roku!!! Will subscribe :D

[@keedt]

re the slow conversion: another thing to consider is that alphazero works by optimizing the winning probability (unlike stockfish which optimizes the evaluation in centipawns), so it happily chooses a slower conversion if this means that it's more sure to win. Also in the Go version, conversions were often strange to the human eye

[@voidzminer1017]

Me looking at the thumbnail: THATS CALLED THE WOODEN SHIELD

[@TheMuffinBagare]

I've recently seen an AI similar to this called OpenAI. It learns exactly like you've described Deep Mind - by continuously playing against itself given only a rule set. Now, OpenAI has been used in Dota2, a computer game, so it's quite different in that regard, but still very similar. And yeah, it usually beats the professional players very easily. In the case of Dota2 and many other video games, the games themselves are too complex to make a successful equivalent of Stockfish, but this new method seems very potent. If people tell the program what to do, it will only make "people-moves" so to say. If it learns by itself, however, it will make up new things, and people can in turn learn new ways of playing and exploiting things in the games from the AI. Very exciting to me! :)

[@stateofdecay2210]

it is maybe the best ending game in the history of chess but this is indeed the best commentary about alpha zero in the whole Universe , thanks I think I watched this tenth times and it is still magnificent and has a lot of magic into it. and I also have an idea and I am going to do the exact moves against stockfish 8 and see what will happen :)

[@milliern]

I think one comment you made is extremely insightful, and it is something I thought as I was looking at the endgame: when a strong human player is up the exchange in the endgame, it doesn't take long to finish matters off; and this is due to a collection of inaccuracies by your opponent. What this endgame shows is how much technical prowess is required in an endgame when no glaring inaccuracies are being made. Study the endgame, folks.

It's amazing but here is a comment of a machine learning expert (Pedro Domingos): "AlphaGo Zero is great, but hold on: self-play is one of the oldest ideas in ML, and humans take far less than 5 million games to master Go."

[@nielsliljedahlchristensen4924]

Here is a comment from a machine learning guy who is probably not as much of an expert as this guy you're talking about: AlphaGo Zero is so much stronger than any human could ever hope to be. If that's what it takes to "master Go", then it would take a human infinitely more games to master Go, because a human would never reach that level.

[@shadearca]

Yeah, but it is also a few thousand times better than any human who has mastered Go.

[@bleach123abc]

you can't possibly master go.

[@Lucalaurin]

I think it's very important to keep in mind how difficult it is for a software to play Go on a professional level. They only achieved that last year with alpha go (was it last year or two years ago?) before that there was no engine that could beat a top level go player not even the lower ranks of professionals. Agadmator brushes over this a bit but I don't blame him, most chess players don't know anything about Go.

[@aaronalfer2615]

I was hoping for Stockfish to win. So were most of the chess programmers who have spent some considerable time of their lives learning and developing conventional algorithms. It was a bit sad to see some AI from Google come out of nowhere and defeat the strongest chess engine. But we have to accept it, move on, and learn new methods. Although it's too early to conclude anything. More testing must be made: different hardware, different time controls, etc. Stockfish did not have an opening book! It's important. And also, I don't see many people mention that most of the games were DRAWN. Agadmator gives the impression that Stockfish lost all of the games. It's misleading.

[@aaronalfer2615]

pahom, so you are a programmer and you claim that Alpha0 is not AI? How is it not AI then? I'm genuinely curious. Because to me it totally seems like AI implementing unsupervised learning. I'm not familiar with details of Alpha0's implementation but we can all agree that the core of it is machine learning which is a field of AI. And even if the gathered data is then interpreted as evaluation it doesn't really matter, that's not the point.

[@aaronalfer2615]

pahom, I see, so you're a smart-ass. Good to know. Many competent developers worldwide use the term AI and they're completely fine with it. I'm not pretending to be an expert here: AI is not my field. But this doesn't suddenly make me not a programmer. I work with .NET platform, if you're curious. You can go and convince someone else in your superior intelligence. I'm not interested.

[@AshishTiwari-mz7yl]

pahom so you are saying that they are misleading us............ and how you know all this???

[@MalcolmBlk]

pahom AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. This term means a program that can teach itself to do something really good from a basic level without human input. Think about it as you would about a human mind: you teach your child, say, the basic chess rules, and after that you give him a chess set and tell him he has some time to play against himself and improve. This is what they mean by "intelligence". If it's "artificial", them it's a human made program that can teach itself. Google's Alfa Zero can teach itself to play chess, just like a human with real intelligence can, only way faster (like 1000 times faster). It also has more computing power for complex calculations of course, just like humans have a brain for that. That's why Alpha Zero is indeed an AI. It is not the final step of AI development by any means of course, but denying it is an AI is strange, as you know that it managed to teach itself, so what is the problem? If you were expecting AIs to be able to teach themselves to play chess without any inputs like basic chess rules, then your expectations may need to be altered, as no real world entity can operate with magic.

+Ger Hanssen I never tried GO. Don't think I would contribute much. Is there a good online server to tryout go? I am planning to learn the basics some time soon and maybe do a short video on it

[@GerHanssen]

Ah, that would be interesting. I am willing to help in one way or another. What I wanted to say is that this whole development of AlphaZero came out of the challenge to play go, and that would have been worth mentioning. I don't play online go very much. Pros nowadays prefer Tygem (www.tygembaduk.com/ehowto/tygemgo.asp), but there are at least 10 other ones, some of them 100% Asian. I know that from the videos of Haylee (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHPZaIumnqqMapY). She is a top pro that played as a strong amateur commenting during the game while thinking. She picked the idea up from a chess player. She never mentioned who. Sensei's library (senseis.xmp.net/?About) tells you just about anything about go and the go community.

[@KavasPVP]

Mr. Anderson

[@florin.lupascu]

The key aspect here is the 1 minute / move time control, as due to neural networks and search algorithms AlphaZero is far superior to Stockfish: 80k vs 70k evaluation speed (positions/second) in favor of AlphaZero! It would be interesting to see a 100 games match in standard time controls between these two... I would bet then the evaluation speed won't count as much and the result would be way more close than today!!! :)

[@mmalahe]

According to the paper, AlphaZero evaluates 80 thousand positions per second, while Stockfish evaluates 70 million per second, so in fact AlphaZero is vastly superior in terms of efficiency in the number of positions evaluated. However, each of those evaluations comes at a much higher computational cost.

[@hudsonmackay4206]

In some of the papers I have read, they have stated that the time control arguably places a greater handicap on alpha zero and that stockfish is stronger on quicker time controls

[@nielsliljedahlchristensen4924]

Neural network evaluating is really slow compared to the evaluation function of Stockfish. The 70k you mention is actually 70 million, but it's always nice to try and confuse people by pretending you know something when you really know nothing

[@galactica1419]

When I play stockfish, 30 moves in My pieces: my time has come

[@briankingjr3330]

[@kylecoleman4221]

Something interesting to think about is that in when alpha zero plays go it'll play some moves that are kind of slack and not as strong when it thinks it is far far ahead of it's opponent and there is minimal chance of it losing, this becomes very noticeable in alphas end game or when it played against humans. I don't know that much about chess but it'd be interesting I think to take a look at some of it's moves in the end or mid game from this perspective.
