In December 2017, the [[Google]] [[DeepMind]] team along with former [[Giraffe]] author [[Matthew Lai]] reported on their generalized [[AlphaZero]] algorithm, combining [[Deep Learning|Deep learning]] with [[Monte-Carlo Tree Search]]. AlphaZero can achieve, tabula rasa, superhuman performance in many challenging domains with some training effort. 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 Go, and convincingly defeated a world-champion program in each case <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>. The open souece projects [[Leela Zero]] (Go) and its chess adaptation [[Leela Chess Zero]] successfully re-implemented the ideas of DeepMind.===NNUE===[[NNUE]] reverse of &#398;U&#1048;&#1048; - Efficiently Updatable Neural Networks, is an NN architecture intended to replace the [[Evaluation|evaluation]] of [[Shogi]], [[Chess|chess]] and other board game playing [[Alpha-Beta|alpha-beta]] searchers. NNUE was introduced in 2018 by [[Yu Nasu]] <ref>[[Yu Nasu]] ('''2018'''). ''&#398;U&#1048;&#1048; Efficiently Updatable Neural-Network based Evaluation Functions for Computer Shogi''.
