  • We call them chess ai. But they’re not actually real A.I. chess bots work off of opening books, predetermined best practices. And then analyzes each position and potential offshoots with an evaluation function.

    They will then start to brute-force positions until it finds a path that is beneficial.

    While it may sound very much alike. It works very differently than an A.I. However. It turned out that A.I software became better than humans at writing these functions.

    So in a sense, chess computers are not A.I. They’re created by A.I. at least Stockfish 12 has these “A.I inspired” evaluations. (Currently they’re on Stockfish 15 I believe)

    And yes. We also did make “chess AI” that is as bad as the average player. We even made some that are worse. Because we figured it would be nice if people can play a chess computer that is on the same skill level as the player. Rather than just being destroyed every time.
