Introducing Maia, a human-like neural network chess engine

A very nice project though! Thumbs up! :D

Beautiful

Yes! I've literally said a few times in recent months that a truly human-like chess engine should be a bit of a holy grail for chess programmers since the advice for improvement is always "don't play computers." Exciting stuff!

Its so great!)

Fantastic achievement!

Are they planning to make stronger versions?

It's been great playing an AI that feels much more human, I really love training against it compared to Lichess AI Lvl 5. That said, I was surprised to see Maia9 does not have the style I would expect from someone of that rating... the decisions to resolve tension in the opponent's favor when multiple threats on the board seems more like a 1500-level choice than a 1900-level choice....Unlike the example in the picture where a higher rated player might choose not to make an exchange....

I really like that someone with the name"Mr. Anderson" is working on AI

AI is rightfully scary, but teaching it to imitate human mistakes is pure horror.
