For decades, chess players have been terrified about the rise of computers and AI in the chess world. Many have believed that it will end the sport, because if computers are better than humans anyways, what is the point of having humans compete against eachother? This problem was famously raised in 1997 when the reigning world champion Garry Kasaprov lost to deepblue in a chess match. Today, that might seem like nothing unusual, but back then it symbolized that machines could excel at complex strategic tasks once thought to be uniquely human. Although many still fear what the future of a sport characterized by human intelligence holds in a world of computers, it is crucial to understand how computers and AI are going to, and already have, revolutionized chess. In many ways, the understanding of this centuries old game, is reaching levels we never thought it could reach. Levels, that would not be possible to reach, without computers. To talk more about this, we have Joost VandeVondole here, who can explain further, how Stockfish completely revolutionized the chess world.
