    1. @uchaNov 2021· in “Acquisition of chess knowledge in AlphaZero”

      After watching some of the games AlphaZero played against Stockfish, I have to say I don't really agree that the moves make sense to a grandmaster... AlphaZero has this uncanny ability to sacrifice many pawns to restrict the movement of the opponent's pieces, something that you might see in advanced play but nowhere near the extent you see it with AlphaZero. Many more of the moves it plays are hard to make sense of compared to a classic engine such as Stockfish. See GothamChess' very entertaining analysis: this video

      Would be interesting to see AlphaZero in this contest, but I don't think it is open source [1] How AlphaZero Completely CRUSHED Stockfish this video
