A chess game "Thinking Machine 6" in which artificial intelligence visualizes how the next hand is being thought out

I was called the best chess player everGarrie KasparovTo IBM's supercomputerDeep BlueSince its defeat, it has become common for artificial intelligence programs to compete with each other in board games such as chess, shogi, and go, artificial intelligence technology is rapidly evolving. When such an artificial intelligence program is thinking about the next step in chess, a program which understands at what time what part of the board surface is being simulated and "Thinking Machine 6"Has been released.

On the above page there is a chess program "Thinking Machine 6" that can fight artificial intelligence made with JavaScript. White in front of the board is players, black is artificial intelligence. You can move pieces by dragging and dropping.


Since white is the first player, moving the pawn ......


The late artificial intelligence also moved the piece. With the hands so far, the artificial intelligence hands are quick and I do not know well what is going on.


However, when you hit the next hand, orange and green lines will start to appear little by little on the go board.


These lines appear each time Artificial Intelligence considers the range within which each piece can move. Orange indicates the range of attack on the artificial intelligence side, and Green indicates the attack range of the player side.


Artificial intelligence has thought for a while and then hit the next one, but you know what kind of hands you are simulating and how far you are simulating before choosing that hand.


According to Martin Watttenberg and Marek Wolkzak, who created the game program "Thinking Machine 6" that can visualize the "reading" of artificial intelligence, Thinking Machine 6 is made with a relatively simple 1950s algorithm , The purpose is not to develop an expert system that will participate in the computer chess competition. To the last, it seems that the aim is to visualize how intricate thought is being done when artificial intelligence develops a strategy in a game called chess.
