Introducing Maia, a human-like neural network chess engine

Why some people are referring to maia as a "she"? it is a bot.

@K466_D_minor I disagree with you on one point. If you can't tell the difference between Maia and a human, then it does pass some sort of a Turing test, chesswise. That's litteraly the whole point of the test

Interesting research, the main problem I see with it is that the more you match human moves, the more you counter the checks for users who botted to win a game. Instead of Lc0 they use maia and might cheat undetected

yes

Hi to all!
I would like to play chess960 against Maia (rated games).
I tried, but she declined the challenge.
I wonder if the team behind Maia can grant this wish?

@peepchuy We just have standard chess games enabled. The bots were not designed to play variants so I they wouldn't play very humanly on something like chess960. I did just enable them to play from positions, so you could do it that way.

I just read Maia1's suppose to be like an 1100 player except her rating for standard chess rules is 1500 or better for all time controls. What gives?

So... is Maia stronger then Leela or just more human-like?

hi

Good Game
