Leela Chess Zero, (LCZero, lc0) an adaptation of Gian-Carlo Pascutto's Leela Zero Go project to Chess, using Stockfish's board representation and move generation. No heuristics or prior knowledge are carried over from Stockfish. The goal to build a strong UCT chess AI following the same type of deep learning techniques of AlphaZero as described in DeepMind's paper, but using distributed training for the weights of the deep residual convolutional neural network. The training process requires CUDA and a GPU accelerated version of Tensorflow installed.
