About this Item

(AlphaZero) David Silver (et al.), "A general reinforcement learning algorithm that masters chess, shogi, and Go through self-play", pp 1140-1144. With: Garry Kasparov, "Chess, a Drosophila of Reasoning" pp 1087. And with: Murray Campbell, "Mastering Board games, a Single Algorithm can learn to play three hard board games". Pg 118. All in Science. 7 December 2018, vol 362 no. 6419. Original wrappers. FINE condition. [++] Excellent report (cited 3500+times) on the fabulous self-teaching game-playing prodigy, AlphaZero. "I can't disguise my satisfaction that it plays with a very dynamic style, much like my own!"--Garry Kasparov, Former World Chess Champion.[++] "In late 2017 we introduced AlphaZero, a single system that taught itself from scratch how to master the games of chess, shogi(Japanese chess), and Go, beating a world-champion program in each case. We were excited by the preliminary results and thrilled to see the response from members of the chess community, who saw in AlphaZero's games a ground-breaking, highly dynamic and unconventional style of play that differed from any chess playing engine that came before it. Today, we are delighted to introduce the full evaluation of AlphaZero, published in the journal Science  that confirms and updates those preliminary results. It describes how AlphaZero quickly learns each game to become the strongest player in history for each, despite starting its training from random play, with no in-built domain knowledge but the basic rules of the game." [++] "This ability to learn each game afresh, unconstrained by the norms of human play, results in a distinctive, unorthodox, yet creative and dynamic playing style. Chess Grandmaster Matthew Sadler and Women s International Master Natasha Regan, who have analysed thousands of AlphaZero's chess games for their forthcoming book Game Changer (New in Chess, January 2019), say its style is unlike any traditional chess engine. It's like discovering the secret notebooks of some great player from the past, says Matthew. [++] All of the preceding from GOOGLE Deepmind online.
