Well this is certainly very cool. It reacts well enough to my moves but I get the feeling that it does not know any of the established openings so each game starts a bit weird. Will keep going and try to beat it though.



If it keeps winning, maybe the established openings aren’t that useful :P

But that’s the problem with solved games: You compete on the familiarity with and memorization of established patterns.


Chess isn't a solved game and the established openings are good enough that playing without prior analysis is extremely difficult for even the best human players
