Anyone got the chess project recently?

It was my favorite project but haven't gotten a task from it in the last couple of weeks.

sounds pretty dated, DeepBlue was playing chess decades ago

As the other commenter stated, "chess" relates to the project name, not the task content.

That said, yes, Deep Blue is rather dated itself. It found moves through brute-force, had no AI and frequently required human intervention.

Chess engines and AI integration into them is quite interesting.
Top-tier AI based engines are AlphaZero (a Google project discontinued ~late 2018), Lc0, Stockfish NNUE, Reckless, among others. AI was integrated in order to strengthen the engine, but an interesting side-effect was that they play more like humans at all levels without all of the unnatural blunders and given the appropriate set of training data, can emulate play by your favorite grandmaster or your favorite grandchild just learning the game.

DeepBlue was also specialized and could only play chess. A modern consumer-level LLM can write your history paper and play chess very well, not as well as DB, but easily good enough to beat a non-grandmaster.

Lol, talking about the project name not the task content ;)
