Creating an AI Chess Engine with ChatGPT: A Weekend Project Journey
The journey of developing an AI chess engine over a weekend with the help of ChatGPT was both challenging and rewarding. The process involved setting goals, working through bugs, and implementing new features step by step. From the initial version to the final version named Kortschnoi_Engine, the progress was evident in the engine’s gameplay and evaluation capabilities.
The use of Python, the python-chess library, and the Stockfish NNUE net proved to be powerful tools in creating a functional chess engine. The incorporation of neural networks for position evaluation added a new level of sophistication to the engine’s decision-making process.
Despite some setbacks and bugs along the way, the author was able to overcome challenges and improve the engine’s performance. The final version of the AI chess engine showcased the author’s dedication to the project and the potential for future enhancements.
If you’re interested in playing against the AI chess engine or contributing to its development, you can access the engine through the provided Colab links. The author also welcomes feedback and collaboration opportunities for further iterations of the engine.
Overall, the project demonstrated the possibilities of AI and machine learning in the realm of chess programming and highlighted the importance of perseverance and creativity in tackling complex technical challenges.
