I played #chess against #LumoAI from #Proton. I had to correct if a few times when it was trying to make illegal moves but it wasn't too tedious. It was quite good in the opening from my point of view but didn't really have any middle game plan. It's definitely a fun exercise if you're wanting to improve your board visualisation.

So I'm writing a chess program called Dog. Since version 3.0 it is an NNUE enabled program! AI and such.
Now to train that AI, I need large amounts of trainingdata. I wrote a program to generate this (distributed over the internet) and currently my friends at @nurdspace are collectively helping my out with that! <3 So cool! At the moment we collectively produce 25.8 million chess-positions per hour.

Today’s realisation: #chess is hard! 😇

Even “beginner level” chess engines make me look bad. Considering getting a #chessnutgo , so I can see real pieces and pretend that the computer doesn’t actually show up my bad moves in 0.001 seconds every time. 😂

Anyone used one of these boards? Are they reliable? What software do they work with? Is it big enough for a #beginner to see what’s going on?
Am I screaming into the void here? 😊😊😊

I have always wondered if computers would still beat humanity at chess if they had to run on 20 Watts (that's what the brain consumes). It seems a fairer playing ground than sitting across a TPU array. How many Raspberry Pis does Stockfish need to beat Magnus Carlsen?

I have never seen such a concise and clear explanation of the main concepts of game programming (by the single author of Viridithas, a top-20 chess engine): https://github.com/cosmobobak/viridithas/blob/master/wiki.md

I'm rewriting my chess engine's move generator to be strictly legal, which means my evening has turned into nothing but line-by-line comparison of Perft divide outputs. At least I'm passing all the way through Perft(6) on the starting position! Now on to Perft(7)....

Congratulations to Stockfish for reporting their 14th victory at Chessdom's TCEC after a close battle against Leela Chess Zero! Both the engines, like #lichess, are run by a community of #freesoftware enthusiasts: yet another victory for #libre software in the chess world!
