Maiachess

Post by mphuget »

Hello all,

In case you missed it, there is a new kid in town: Maiachess (https://maiachess.com/)
using a Deep Neural Network like AlphaZero, Leela, or others but does not rely on self-play.

The main interest in this one is to be trained at different levels (different ELO) then see what blunders
could do a 1100ELO comparing to ELO1900. Very informative in my opinion

Yes I have seen this thank to Agadmator on YouTube. Looks like a very cool idea indeed.

I like the concept to be able to play against a human like opponent at different levels. Most of today's engines are way too strong to be able to play a fun game with. They are mainly used for analysing positions. This Maiachess looks like a fun opponent too. And the occasional blunders/mistakes makes it possible to recover even from losing positions, something that is very hard against a normal engine.
