ALPHA Go - Alpha zero

Post by chesspcmac »

Good documentary about Alpha GO (Alpha Zero's older brother) on NETFLIX. Even though is not about chess it is entertaining to learn about Neural networks, watch how a human player is affected when playing a silicone monster.
They gave the impression that Alpha Go could fit in a Laptop (not any laptop I bet) but Im not so sure. As Alpha Zero, Alpha Go was also making spectacular moves.

Loyal to chess regards

Second that. I watched it, recommended.

The laptop was probably just a terminal to relay the moves, the actual TPU cluster used for AlphaGo and AlphaZero is not something you bring along as carry-on.

Thank you for an interesting game.
