How AlphaZero Completely CRUSHED Stockfish

[@genewest7271]

This is so stupid, AZ was playing with more than 2000 cores and stockfish was using a quad core cpu. Mismatch of the century! This man's voice is very grating, he should get a job of dispersing riots...

[@Gingnose]

Exactly! It's actually what is going on in NNUE They ground on experience not logic So AZs move looks more intuitive one

[@MrCrackheadst]

@@Gingnose if we get very philosophical one may argue logic is formed from experience.

[@Gingnose]

@@MrCrackheadst Quite interesting point! When we think about purest logic as a math, fundamental mathematical theories (e.g. Principia Mathematica) seem to have no room for assumption other than axiom. And the axiom is the only thing that can we assume but as seeing math working surprisingly well in this universe, at least there should be a logic which comes before experience, in other word "a priori" knowledge. But if we think about the other universe, I have no slightest idea what logic will be like lol Talking about these chess machines, what was unique about AZ was there was no input at first other than win = 1, lose = 0, still abled to be the strongest chess machine at that time. And AZ played very intuitively imo, it looked like a creative human player than any other chess machines, this i think partially suggest that experience is very useful in terms of your reduction of calculation. If humans were 100% calculation logic based animals, we might got extinct because each time we faced the complex situation, the brain stops and need to calculate lol. So, experience is the shortcutting method of the otherwise lengthy calculation, and extrapolating the solution based on previous experience. AZ only needed experience (win or lose input) to derive the winning strategy/ tactics to beat the stockfish. But after stockfish using the same architecture of NNUE grounded on the previous data, there was no competition for AZ to hold the crown.

AlphaZero is the start of a new era for chess. Its strength seems godlike, not just tactically which is typical for engines but also positionally - normally a human trait. It is on a completely different level than anything in the history of the game.

Alphazero is unfortunately non open source, and the team behind the AI have stopped doing chess (I believe). The newest stockfish would crush this version of alphazero. This sucks, I'd love to see what AZ could have done if it was trained for longer and focused more on chess.

[@dead_man7]

@@cantcatchme6749 how do you know that newest stockfish will destroy this AZ?

[@cantcatchme6749]

@@dead_man7 That's because AZ beat Stockfish with an elo difference of about 50. The latest versions of Stockfish are capable of beating Stockfish 8 by a difference of about 150 elo. "In chess, as of 2022, newer engines are generally agreed to have surpassed AlphaZero's playing strength" Moreover, there's one thing people don't quite realize. The point of these matches was not to show that AZ is better than Stockfish. AZ was running on 4000 CPU cores, and Stockfish on your average "weak" CPU. That's an immense advantage for AZ. If both engines were to run on the same hardware, it is predicted that any strong engine would have beaten AZ. The point of these matches was to show that an AI can achieve incredible feats not brute forcing the game. It goes to show how strong AI's potential is, given a lot of effort and hardware are dedicated to it.

[@Djorgal]

@@cantcatchme6749 Another very important element was that AlphaZero does not need to be developed by people who know how to play chess. Stockfish is developed by and with the help of masters and gm of chess with enormous knowledge of chess theory. You can't just take stockfish, tell him the rules of Go or Poker and ask it to play these instead of chess. To develop AlphaZero, there is no need for someone actually good at chess helping. Just tell him "Here are the rules of chess, play yourself and git gud mf!" and it just does.
