Would love to play against some nairalanders, and i'm thinking we should organize a tournament online.

Google's self-learning AI AlphaZero has ended Stockfish's career. 'He' was said to have learned chess in four hours(!), and then outplayed Stockfish with a surprisingly human style, even repeating a position twice and then playing another move to continue the game instead of drawing! Could 'he' be the strongest chess 'player' ever? Robots are taking over the world oh.

8 gamee,8 draws. Looks like rapids will be the decider.

I don't even care again, who wins or not. I'm just bored sick. Totally unexciting chess from these guys. Classical time controls don't seem worth it anymore.
