on the verge of tears (cannot cry though it would mess up my mascara that i worked so hard on) so i am reading the solving chess wikipedia page (again)

Looking for a fun, functional art piece to use at the beach house or by the pool? Our collection of colorful octopi are actually table bases! Use one, two or three to create a perfectly sized table. . #octopus #metropolitangalleries #tablebase #beachhousedecor #designonhpmkt #highpointmarket #hpmkt #hpxd #highpointxdesign #octopustable #bronzesculpture #coral #beachy #tentacles (at Metropolitan Galleries) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxEwmIuxKG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@snazzyjazzsounds actually gonna flesh this one out a little more since it's an interesting question.

So the way historical chess engines work in simplest terms is an evaluation-based system - they would be given some hardcoded set of rules to assign a point value to a given position representing which side was winning. They would pick moves by brute forcing a ton of moves and evaluating the position at the end, using a minimax algorithm to find the moves that lead to the best position.

This can be optimized by pruning branches, ie if a move tanks the evaluation, don't bother calculating a ton more moves further down the line, just assume it's a bad move and ignore it.

The fundamental weakness of these engines was their evaluation function, which of course must be imperfect. Back in the day, before they became too strong for humans to play against, human players would often adopt "anti-computer tactics".

Computers were flawless when there weren't many pieces on the board - endgames were nightmares. But they often misevaluated closed positions with lots of pieces on the board. Human players would attempt to steer the game into such a position, at which point they would stall until the computer made a fatal error.

This isn't the same as playing randomly or suboptimally, but it is an unusual strategy. Random/suboptimal play would backfire, since the computer doesn't "know" anything - it's viewing every position for the first time, effectively, so it has no sense of what is "common."*

Computers improved in many ways - better evaluation functions, better pruning, and most crucially, a shitload more compute power. These tactics haven't worked in decades.

*This isn't exactly true. Some engines come with tablebases. Chess is currently completely solved with seven pieces or fewer on the board - any legal position with <=7 pieces has a forced win or draw for one side, provably.

And, well, neural nets. In the last few years, top engines have incorporated machine learning strategies into their evaluation of positions, instead of making them fully static. I don't know exactly how this works, but the results speak for themselves - engines have gotten noticeably stronger (to the human eye, as well as when competing against other engines) and have especially improved on those closed positions they used to struggle with.

This could only be an exploitable weakness if you could insert your own training set, but that would kind of defeat the point, like creating a flashing red weak point on a mech you built.

When you’re a one man shop sometimes you have to find the most efficient and creative ways to get things done.
