Chess AI Engines
Discussions center on chess engines like Stockfish and AlphaZero, their superhuman capabilities, comparisons to human players and LLMs like ChatGPT, and debates on whether they represent true AI or just brute force computation.

Could get very meta if you had a chess engine that knows how to play human chess!
Chess AI can play like humans, and win consistently (stockfish), and it can also play in completely novel ways, and win even more (alphazero)
Chess solvers are more AI than 90% of the things currently being touted as AI!
Maybe that one which plays chess well is calling out to a real chess engine.
Is it human chess if you have to think like an engine to know what not to do?
That's a really oversimplified view. The truth is beyond a certain point no amount of "theorizing" is enough to overcome the sheer computational power of programs. AlphaZero just took advantage of recent advances in neural networks and GPU hardware to achieve a better tradeoff between hard rules and heuristics than Stockfish. Both of them are probably Pareto efficient in some sense, and barring some insane undiscovered loophole in the rules of chess it's unlikely that any hum

Huh. Honestly, your answer makes more sense, LLMs shouldn’t be good at chess, and this anomaly looks more like a bug. Maybe the author should share his code so it can be replicated.
Chess AI is pretty much chess god
yes, it's a proof of human intelligence at chess. nothing more.
