Google's AI learning bot Alpha Zero got a lot of publicity as the strongest bot out there by crushing Stockfish a few years back
kind of interesting, to me, anyway
Stockfish has struck back
now there is a Stockfish 12
and according to various chess forum chatter it can now beat Google's Alpha Zero
from one of the chess forums:
"There exists a large misconception that AlphaZero is the strongest engine, when for a few years now we have had engines stronger. In this post, I'll try to show how far we have come from AlphaZero.
Here are the results for Stockfish NNUE with the network bySergiocompared to AlphaZero.
We know that AlphaZero is +52 Elo to Stockfish 8 according to the papers released by Deepmind. +155-6=839 (SF8) +52 Elo.
We know Stockfish 11 is +166 Elo to Stockfish 8, with Stockfish 12 Dev being 30 Elo stronger at +196 Elo.
And based off of a recent test from myself between Stockfish NNUE (Sergio 2138) vs. Stockfish 12 Dev, I found that SF NNUE is +67 Elo to SF12Dev.
And so, with that, we get these conclusions
- Stockfish NNUE is +211 Elo to AlphaZero.
- Leela Chess Zero ID 64341 is +151 Elo to AlphaZero
- Stockfish 12 Dev is +144 Elo to AlphaZero"
Stockfish is derived from Glaurung, an open-source engine by Tord Romstad released in 2004.
the very, very powerful Stockfish 12 bot is available to use at this link, to beat, as far as I know, any other bot out there:
I just used it, and it crushed chess.com's maximum bot which is above what they term "super Grandmaster"
