The idea of AI is to create artificial intelligence.
Machine chess is something different.
It’s brutal Strong, but not intelligent.
Question is indeed what you want.
A machine that plays like a human, or a machine that plays like a machine.
I prefer a machine that plays like a human.
I find machine chess boring because it’s obvious that the machine has no idea what a plan is or what beauty is.
The machine computes 10 million NPS, reaches ply 45 and makes a move that wins some points more.
But if you would ask the machine what the sense of chess is, it would have no clue.
The sense of chess is NOT to win but to mate.
And it is especially not to win by increasing the Evaluation by a few points until the opponent has fallen asleep.
Many engines do not play chess. They solve positions, and if they cannot find something forced, they choose the move that increases the score by a small margin. This is NOT chess,
When people complain in machine chess age the amount of draws increases overall, it has not to do with the fact that chess is draw.
But that machines have no plan. They do not plan to mate the king.
They solve the position, and if there is no move that is mate, they choose a move that increases the evaluation.
So a blind plays another blind. And as a result the draws in machine chess increase.
No ideas. No beauty. No art of chess.
Plain boring moves.
Boring games, machine chess,
Artificial intelligence in chess is to make the machine create beautiful games and try to mate the opponent king with all material that is there and with all creativity the machine can generate,
LC0 shows this intelligence in games versus normal AB engines,
