Chess AI Gets a Smarter Sense of Value

The piece value predictor assigned a significantly higher value-703 centipawns-to the White Knight on d6 than to the Black Knight on g6, which received a value of -355 centipawns, demonstrating a substantial disparity in assessed positional strength.

New research demonstrates how neural networks can more accurately assess the worth of individual pieces on the chessboard, paving the way for stronger chess engines.
