It'd be cool. You can't use either of them though, since they both rely heavily on traversing the game tree, which you can't do with so much imperfect information. You look one move ahead and the game tree instantly scatters and you're left with nothing. Alpha Zero could possibly make some tiny sense of the game since it consists of two components and can therefore remove one (the Monte Carlo Search Tree) without driving itself into complete irrelevance. It would then rely completely on its neural network making predictions for the next move only and would most likely as a result be extremely stupid and light years from the Alpha Zero we know. Especially since its psychological perception of the game is gathered through self play, so it would probably be pretty bad at predicting the moves of a human player. On top of that, it doesn't track the move history, since it's irrelevant in a normal game of chess where all you need is the current board state to make your decisions. In a game like this (similar to poker), you need the move history in order to look for patterns that can help you get a broad sense of the board position.

Well, AlphaStar managed to play StarCraft, which is mechanically+environmentally more complex than chess due to having fog of war and being real-time, and so was the next logical environment for DeepMind's exploration of AI playing games. So DeepMind has already explored an learning neural network AI traversing an environment with incomplete information. That said, there was also a sort of consensus about AlphaStar's performance in StarCraft that it still wasn't quite truly the top grandmaster-professional player level in terms of tactics, but rather just that it was able to brute force the best of players through raw, mechanical skill in its management abilities, and that anyone that could execute a unique enough plan solidly enough could still blindside the AI if it wasn't something the neural net could account for (even over thousands of training hours and years worth of knowledge). However, given the more limited scope of the movements available in chess compared to a video game RTS, I'd imagine that a DeepMind-like AI would be able to handle it rather well, once it was given enough information and training time.

@muchograndeyolatengo

3 жыл бұрын

@@TheAmazingCowpig Or said in another way: (I might have been a bit foggy in my explanation) Starcraft is close to being deterministic, meaning that you can look hundreds or even thousands of "moves" ahead and have a pretty good sense of what the game state looks like. On the other hand looking just 2 or 3 moves ahead in this chess variant and you have absolutely no idea of what the game state is. You could be up 3 pieces or you could be down a queen.

@TheAmazingCowpig

3 жыл бұрын

muchograndeyolatengo I don't think Starcraft would be significantly more deterministic than Fog of War chess. Any time a player does not have vision of their opponent, they have incomplete information about how to act; information gathering is a core facet of all strategy games, from this version of chess to video game RTSs. 2 or 3 moves in FoW chess could be equated to 2 minutes into the future in a Starcraft game. While the exact rules and consequences differ, DeepMind has already created the AI that tackles having incomplete information about the game state (as a progression from AlphaZero that did have complete information about the game state at all times). So, a DeepMind AI for FoW chess would probably look something similar to AlphaStar.

@muchograndeyolatengo

3 жыл бұрын

​@@TheAmazingCowpig The only incomplete information the AI has in Starcraft is the opponent's build order. Everything else is perfectly visible (including all the battles). So it can excel at everythign else through self training (build order, resoruce management, micro etc.) And if I recall from the matches I've seen, the AI seriously lacks in strategic understanding but makes up for it in perfect micro. We are talking about two completely different domains here. You can' really represent a game of FoW chess with a tree. It's just not possible. The only thing you can train is a standard opening, but that's really exploitable unless you add noise to the input vector or do some other kind of magic. You can't train it to understand the move patterns of human opponents of different strengths through self play. Because humans are not gonna think the same way, which again makes it inherently exploitable. But we're talking in circles here. I'm not gonna convince you and you are not gonna convince me. So I'll let you have the last say and then I'm gonna retreat :)

you two are hilarious together. The facial expressions are so fun! I feel like Kasparov with that "flabbergasted and flummoxed" look at the board was the proto-meme to these highly advanced memes you both wield.

I feel like early queen movement is exceedingly powerful due to her vision. Even something as simple as knowing the first 3-4 moves your opponent made could allow you to feasibly counter their entire game, so even if you end up losing the queen, you could come out significantly ahead.

Seeing Levi and Hikaru at 1500 rating feels illegal

Just realised that the E1/e8 queen exchange is a strong move in this version. The person doing the exchange will get lots of information and most likely no more castling

One thing I learned about this variant, is that people make 'inefficient moves' that you wouldn't do in normal chess. To hide your pieces that your opponent piece discovered(sight).

Hikaru is super impressive, his ability to mentalize the entire game there. [This is actually my second time watching this, oh man, yep.]

this is the best type of strategy war games, because its add the unknown variable into the equation

I probably have to apply Starcraft logic in it. You have to scout, unlike in regular chess. Therefore it's much more useful to get the queen out early. Once scouting is prevented, it can be a guessing game on where the opponent must strike. One must take care to avoid enemy bishops though.
