=Description=
Starting from random play, and given no domain knowledge except the game rules, AlphaZero achieved a superhuman level of play in the games of chess and [[Shogi]] as well as in [[Go]]. The algorithm is a more generic version of the [[AlphaGo#Zero|AlphaGo Zero]] algorithm that was first introduced in the domain of Go <ref>[https://deepmind.com/blog/alphago-zero-learning-scratch/ AlphaGo Zero: Learning from scratch] by [[Demis Hassabis]] and [[David Silver]], [[DeepMind]], October 18, 2017</ref>. AlphaZero [[Evaluation|evaluates]] [[Chess Position|positions]] using non-linear function approximation based on a [[Neural Networks|deep neural network]], rather than the [[Evaluation#Linear|linear function approximation]] as used in classical chess programs.
This neural network takes the board position as input and outputs a vector of move probabilities (policy) and a position evaluation. Once trained, these network is combined with a [[Monte-Carlo Tree Search]] (MCTS) using the policy to narrow down the search to high ­probability moves, and using the value in conjunction with a fast rollout policy to evaluate positions in the tree. The selection is done by a variation of [[Christopher D. Rosin|Rosin's]] [[UCT]] improvement dubbed [[Christopher D. Rosin#PUCT|PUCT]].

=Stockfish Match=
As mentioned in the December 2017 paper <ref>[[David Silver]], [[Thomas Hubert]], [[Julian Schrittwieser]], [[Ioannis Antonoglou]], [[Matthew Lai]], [[Arthur Guez]], [[Marc Lanctot]], [[Laurent Sifre]], [[Dharshan Kumaran]], [[Thore Graepel]], [[Timothy Lillicrap]], [[Karen Simonyan]], [[Demis Hassabis]] ('''2017'''). ''Mastering Chess and Shogi by Self-Play with a General Reinforcement Learning Algorithm''. [https://arxiv.org/abs/1712.01815 arXiv:1712.01815]</ref>,
a 100 game match versus [[Stockfish|Stockfish 8]] using 64 [[Thread|threads]] and a [[Transposition Table|transposition table]] size of 1GiB,
was won by AlphaZero using a single machine with 4 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_processing_unit#First_generation first-generation TPUs] with +28=72-0, 10 games were published. Despite a possible hardware advantage of AlphaZero and criticized playing conditions <ref>[http://www.open-chess.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3153 Alpha Zero] by [[Mark Watkins|BB+]], [[Computer Chess Forums|OpenChess Forum]], December 06, 2017</ref>, this is a tremendous achievement.
 
In the final [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer_review peer reviewed] paper, published in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_(journal) Science magazine] in December 2018 <ref>[[David Silver]], [[Thomas Hubert]], [[Julian Schrittwieser]], [[Ioannis Antonoglou]], [[Matthew Lai]], [[Arthur Guez]], [[Marc Lanctot]], [[Laurent Sifre]], [[Dharshan Kumaran]], [[Thore Graepel]], [[Timothy Lillicrap]], [[Karen Simonyan]], [[Demis Hassabis]] ('''2018'''). ''[http://science.sciencemag.org/content/362/6419/1140 A general reinforcement learning algorithm that masters chess, shogi, and Go through self-play]''. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_(journal) Science], Vol. 362, No. 6419</ref> along with supplementary materials <ref>[http://science.sciencemag.org/content/suppl/2018/12/05/362.6419.1140.DC1 Supplementary Materials]</ref>, a 1000 game match was reported with about 200 games published, versus various most recent Stockfish versions available at the time of the matches, that is Stockfish 8, a development version as of January 13, 2018 close to Stockfish 9, [[Brainfish]] with [[Cerebellum]] book, and Stockfish 9, in total AlphaZero winning 155 games and losing 6 games.
 
Stockfish was configured according to its [[TCEC Season 9#Superfinal|2016 TCEC Season 9 superfinal]] settings: 44 threads on 44 cores (two 2.2GHz [[Intel]] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeon#E3-12xx_v4_series_%22Broadwell-WS%22 Xeon Broadwell] [[x86-64]] CPUs with 22 cores, running [[Linux]]), a transposition table size of 32 GiB, and 6-men [[Syzygy Bases|Syzygy bases]]. Time control was 3 hours per side and game plus 15 seconds increment per move. AlphaZero used a simple time control strategy: thinking for 1/20th of the remaining time, and selects moves greedily with respect to the root visit count. Each MCTS was executed on a single machine with 4 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_processing_unit#First_generation first-generation TPUs].
 
AlphaZero and Stockfish (except Brainfish) used no [[Opening Book|opening book]], 12 common human positions as well as the [[TCEC Season 9#Superfinal|2016 TCEC Season 9 superfinal]] positions were played, originally selected by [[Jeroen Noomen]] <ref>[http://science.sciencemag.org/content/suppl/2018/12/05/362.6419.1140.DC1 Supplementary Materials] S4</ref>. To ensure diversity against opponents (Brainfish) with a deterministic opening book, AlphaZero used a small amount of randomization in its opening moves. This avoided duplicate games but also resulted in more losses by AlphaZero.
