So I noticed that black basically went straight for a castle (king side). It's first 4 moves were all in that vein. Does this mean this was definitely a mistake? When you castle that early, isn't it supposed to be easy to attack? Now I know AlphaZero didn't calculate the whole attack, but you don't need to. If you know where the enemy king is going to be the whole game, you know in general what you want to do. I saw the potential attack after black traded the bishop for knight (easy battery with queen and black squared bishop at this point). Perhaps the super early castle was simply a mistake that we can learn from. I wonder how many of AlphaZero's wins where when the opponent early castled?
@MegaTenser
5 жыл бұрын
I don't think so. I don't imagine black castles long in this opening after some of white's early moves are expanding on the queenside. The kingside was pretty safe for black until black decided to win a pawn and open the g file. That could have led to a winning endgame if the white attack didn't work out.

I truly believe that with time, and not even that much, a new strategy will come into being that allows even humans to decide straight up sacking a pawn will be worth it in the end.

What I never heard anyone talk about AlphaZero was its ability (when it's a computer and can examine many many more positions than a human in a shorter time) seems to attempt to simplify the position. Now, you might think that I'm crazy for saying this because AlphaZero makes so many moves that seem to complicate rather than simplify. However look at the trend in the games. Its a common theme that AlphaZero just keeps restricting the options of its opponent, sometimes even causing zugzwang type positions in the midgame. I guess this shouldn't really be a surprise, its obvious that you should minimize your options while maximizing your options. . . but that's my point. I think, since AlphaZero is not a traditional chess engine, it can factor in the simplified position of a game as an aspect of the game that a traditional chess engine cannot or might not have the ability to "understand."

Yes, I'm keenly aware that this is a strong sign that I'm a chess idiot. But, gimme a moment. Our commentator says "So ALphaZero keeps his king nice and safe in the corner". Except - black's king is also "nice and safe in the corner" with more pieces around it, and a square to retreat to if things get awful. Another one - when white occupies the G anf H files with rooks, it's a clever move, but when it abandones those files, it's also a clever move and somehow doesn't make the previous strategy a waste of time. It seems like so many of the comments are not about the intrinsic moves or positions, but are informed largely by hindsight. Gulp. (ducks)

What's interesting and scary is that AlphaZero was never told the "chess golden principles" we are taught as beginners, rooks are worth more than bishops in the end game, leave no pieces hanging, don't blunder your pawns, etc. It was simply given the rule book and 4 hours to study the game, so it was free from our human theory about chess, and investigated pure approaches. Stockfish however is the result of our chess culture, it simply computes X moves ahead and compares the resulting positions based on heuristics defined by human theory, like "controlling center squares is better than controlling unoccupied squares" or "a pawn mid-game is worth 198 points and a pawn end-game is worth 258 points".

I think that too many people are focusing on the game, which I also follow, as if this were an ordinary player. Since I have significant knowledge, and since I believe that Hawking and Musk were right, I am really anxious by the self-taught nature of this AI. This particular AI is not the worrisome thing, albeit it has obvious, potential applications in military logistics, military strategy, etc. The really scary part is how fast this was developed after AlphaGO debuted. We are not creeping up on the goal of human-level intelligence. We are likely to shoot past that goal amazingly soon without even realizing it, if things continue progressing as they have. The first AIs will also be narrow and not very competent or threatening, even if they become "superhuman" in intelligence. They will also be harmless, idiot savants at first. Upcoming Threat to Humanity. The scary thing is the fact that computer speed (and thereby, probably eventually AI intelligence) doubles about every year, and will likely double faster when super-intelligent AIs start designing chips, working with quantum computers as co-processors, etc. How fast will our AIs progress to such levels that they become indispensable -- while their utility makes hopeless any attempts to regulate them or retroactively impose restrictions on beings that are smarter than their designers? At first, they may have only base functions, like the reptilian portion of our brain. However, when will they act like Nile crocodiles and react to any threat with aggression? Ever gone skinny dipping with Nile crocodiles? I fear that very soon, before we realize it, we will all be doing the equivalent of skinny dipping with Nile crocodiles, because of how fast AIs will develop by the time that the children born today reach their teens or middle age. Like crocodiles that are raised by humans, AIs may like us for a while. I sure hope that lasts. As the announcer in Jeopardy said about a program that was probably not really an advanced AI long ago, I, for one, welcome our future, AI overlords.

The way Alpha Zero views our chess grandmasters is perhaps similar to the way alien philosophers view our philosophers... imagine that.

How come bishop takes E4 counts as "giving back" a pawn? How come the black knight doesn't want to exchange back ? i.imgur.com/iYLK2YC.jpg

I wonder if Alpha Zero just plays with the position, or if it seeks for exploitable flaws in the opponents play. You´ll know how to trick your opponent in balanced or stuck positions if you´ve figured out his pattern of play.

What you're describing is the difference between a player aiming to play optimally and a player aiming to play as a nemesis. These two different play styles are often seen in poker, for example, but they exist in every competitive game. However, nobody aiming to win consistently plays primarily as a nemesis in any game, especially chess. Our opponents will always adapt and become better, it's not favorable to handicap ourselves to assumptions on our opponents' mistakes. We can be confident AlphaZero plays from the first perspective and not the second as it trains against itself. AlphaZero chose to make these sacrifices likely due to the long-term benefits as shown in an analysis by Matthew Sadler here.

AZ has learned chess by being given the rules of the game and then by playing against itself and only itself for millions of times. This means that it never had the opportunity to identify and exploit Stockfish's potential intrinsic weaknesses. More importantly, Alpha Zero is called zero because it has ZERO knowledge of anything but the rules of the game. It has ZERO knowledge of whom it is playing against, ZERO knowledge wether it is playing against itself, another chess engine or a human. Because of this, AZ will not modifiy its playstyle with different opponents. Had AZ learned chess by playing only against Stockfish, then most certainly it would have found and used exploitable flaws that are specific to stockfish. However, if presented against another opponent, AZ wouldn't adapt, it would still play trying to exploit flaws inherent to stockfish.

Brilliant game although I don't understand why stockfish didn't play Nxe4 to trade off Alpha zero's light squared bishop in the middle game

What i don't understand about the Grand Master vs Deep Blue matches was if the computer was also allowed to think about moves during the player's turn. Surely this would have been unfair if it was the case. Does anybody know? Or is 1/2 the time just equal to 1 bit for a computer like Alpha Zero? Sez it would have been unfair because essentially for real players some element of the oponent's move must essentially be "waiting time" whereas for a computer this would not be the case.

What saved A0 was that lonely f2 pawn. Rewatch the game again and pay attention to the movements of the f2 pawn, see how everything around it dies so that it can rise up the board and threaten to promote. Just genius play by A0 finding interesting ways to humiliate SF hyper materialism. The reason why A0 and Leela are just better engines in the long run, is because they learn from their games, where Stockfish 8 or 9 or 10 or whatever - needs human input (that comes as a patch) to "fix" curtain aspects of its evaluation algorithm, that seems to be able to solve extremely deep tactical puzzles, but fails to understand the inevitable virtues of the game. Like having a Rook in front of your castled King, or having all the Queens and Bishops and Rooks pointing at your King, or having your pieces being blocked and impossible to move... These things are better understood by A0 it seems and SF just needs a new human-made patch to make it value these threats more than it already does by bruteforce.
