Info about Leela Zero:
en.wikipedia.o...
...
Leela Chess Zero (lc0) is a free, open-source, and neural network-based chess engine and distributed computing project.
Leela Zero's algorithm is based on DeepMind's 2017 paper about AlphaGo Zero.[3][6] Unlike the original Leela, which has a lot of human knowledge and heuristics programmed into it, Leela Zero only knows the basic rules and nothing more.[7]
Leela Zero is trained by a distributed effort, which is coordinated at the Leela Zero website. Members of the community provide computing resources by running the client, which generates self-play games and submits them to the server. The self-play games are used to train newer networks. Generally, over 500 clients have connected to the server to contribute resources.[7] The community has provided high quality code contributions as well.[7]
Leela Zero finished third at the BerryGenomics Cup World AI Go Tournament in Fuzhou, Fujian, China on 28 April 2018.[8]
Info about Alphazero:
en.wikipedia.o...
AlphaZero is a computer program developed by the Alphabet-owned AI research company DeepMind, which uses an approach similar to AlphaGo Zero's to master not just Go, but also chess and shogi. On December 5, 2017 the DeepMind team released a preprint introducing AlphaZero, which, within 24 hours, achieved a superhuman level of play in these three games by defeating world-champion programs, Stockfish, elmo, and the 3-day version of AlphaGo Zero, in each case making use of custom tensor processing units (TPUs) that the Google programs were optimized to make use of.[1] AlphaZero was trained solely via "self-play" using 5,000 first-generation TPUs to generate the games and 64 second-generation TPUs to train the neural networks, all in parallel, with no access to opening books or endgame tables. After just four hours of training, DeepMind estimated AlphaZero was playing at a higher Elo rating than Stockfish; after 9 hours of training, the algorithm decisively defeated Stockfish 8 in a time-controlled 100-game tournament (28 wins, 0 losses, and 72 draws).[1][2][3] The trained algorithm played on a single machine with four TPUs.

Relation to AlphaGo Zero
Further information: AlphaGo Zero
AlphaZero (AZ) is a more generalized variant of the AlphaGo Zero (AGZ) algorithm, and is able to play shogi and chess as well as Go. Differences between AZ and AGZ include:[1]
AZ has hard-coded rules for setting search hyperparameters.
The neural network is now updated continually.
Go (unlike Chess) is symmetric under certain reflections and rotations; AlphaGo Zero was programmed to take advantage of these symmetries. AlphaZero is not.
Chess can end in a draw unlike Go; therefore AlphaZero can take into account the possibility of a drawn game.

Love your Leela series!

[@kingscrusher]

Cheers, K

[@RealCurrencies]

Me too, it's fantastic, it's great that you are showing it to the world, because I'm sure what Leela is doing is going to have an enormous impact on chess.

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

A great strategic win ,made even better by the rook sac and the final trolling. Your enthusiasm spiced up the commentary. Thanks KC keep up the good work

[@kingscrusher]

Cheers, K

Fun comment - Cheers, K

Really a "Fabulous" Game. Leela believes in "fawn" Pawn and free connected pawns.

Now with Extra Spice!

Leela never looked like getting burnt. Shirts come in yet KC?

Another great Leela game, made extra special by KC's analysis and love of Leela!

[@hazab9455]

This is a masterpiece

I'm in love with a Troll! :)

I always sac my rock, but usually I lose

[@paulwhite760]

perhaps you'll win if you rock your sac!

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

Sacrificing a Rook to get 3 passed, connected pawns - that's Bobby Fischer territory. It's way above what most people could see.

[@furr_]

What a beauty! Love it. Good job and thank you, kingcrusher.

[@psazani]

could you include realtime computer analysis as your narrate? thanks! big fan!

[@proflaxis6968]

The elite GMs are capable of understanding all the Alpha Zero and Leela moves. Next WCh is the one who understands best I suppose.

[@academiaxadrezdanielromao]

Leela plays like the great champion Petrosian.

[@michaelmorris4515]

Leela's middle initial must be T.... for Troll.

@@kingscrusher We're coming up on the 1 year anniversary of Alpha Zero's unveiling. I'd really enjoy a retrospective vid on that.

That's a spicy meatball

So interesting watching Lella Evolve right B4 us, Great commentary Thanks . . . 🦊 😎

[@youngpatrick29]

Hey KC, could you start posting a 3 or 5 min game every morning? I found those super entertaining.

[@mrj3nk044]

Is the underpromotion actually a high level- strategy that Leela has figured out? Players and most other engines tend to automatically promote to a high value peice. Offering a lower value peice to be captured increases the likelihood of it not being captured? I don't see how the trolling is programmed into the engine? It learnt to troll didn't it? Does it know what trolling even is?

[@sonaruo]

yeap i also sacrifice pieces to open way for the pawns to be promoted either i get a queen or a piece back

[@dharmang]

ahh that good old background 😆👍🏻🔥

[@MRENNEKE]

Very interessting. Does Magnus has a Super Computer to analyse these kind of positions, or is the analysis "human brain made" or a kind of mix mode?

[@Joelk76]

Great great video

[@Durian_Defense]

Leela just loves connected passed pawns. What's a whole rook in place of 3 passed pawn?

[@kingscrusher]

Great comment, K

[@doctornoxadus2664]

Could you do some other classical engines game as well? Like Stockfish vs Fire for example? I'm interested in seeing the differences between Leela's and their style. Also, this kind of comparison might let us appreciate the mighty Leela even more!

[@kingscrusher]

Sometimes I do.. please check past videos. Cheers, K

[@doctornoxadus2664]

@@kingscrusher Ye, ye I know, what I meant by that is now, since Leela is evolving so highly the differences would be that much stressed

[@RealCurrencies]

Draw. 6-6. So play offs. What a disappointing match, 12 draws. They did fight, but they were too close to each other. And they need to study Leela, to save chess.

[@dharmang]

yo sup dude early xD

[@humanrightsadvocate]

Evolution is a process that doesn't have an end goal. It never stops. It's never finished. Well, in the case of chess, it's finished when the AI solves the game. Saying about an engine that is _highly evolved_ suggests that it's very close to solving chess. Which is misleading, annoying and so on and so forth. Mainly "and so forth".

[@peterpetrov6522]

Good point Alexandru, except chess is indeed close to being solved. For AI to be truly appreciated, it needs a more complex game like Japanese chess or Go. Apparently Stockfish doesn't get completely demolished by AI because it's like racing against Michael Phelps in a kiddie pool.

[@humanrightsadvocate]

Where did you get that idea, that chess is close to being solved? @@peterpetrov6522
