It's obvious who the boss is.Īs a chess player, I asked myself how chess programs could become this powerful and what the milestones of chess AI were. In chess, if two players are separated by 600 Elo points or more, then a comparison between the two resembles a comparison of Portland Pickles and Red Sox, Justin Bieber and Bob Dylan, Windows Phone and literally any other phone. Carlsen currently has an Elo rating of 2845 (February 2019), while Stockfish 9 has a rating of 3438 (the engine ratings are not FIDE ratings, but the player pool for engines is much stronger than for humans, so theoretically an FIDE rating for Stockfish 9 would be even higher). Nowadays, in 100 matches, the reigning world chess champion Magnus Carlsen would not score a single victory against the world's best chess program. So Kasparov, being Kasparov, spread the rumor that IBM must have cheated. Deep Blue surprised the world with an instinctive, superior game that seemed creative in many ways. Kasparov was defeated by Deep Blue in the rematch with 2.5:3.5. In 1996, Kasparov defeated its successor Deep Blue in a match over six games with 4:2, but was the first chess world champion ever to lose a game under tournament conditions against a chess program. And indeed, in 1989, he played two games against IBM's computer Deep Thought, both of which he won. In the 1980s, at the height of his career, he claimed that there would never be a chess program capable of defeating him.
