Algorithmic board strategist
A chess computer is a device or program designed to play chess, ranging from dedicated handheld units to sophisticated software running on powerful hardware.
Early chess computers were novelties that played poorly, but modern engines like Stockfish and Leela Chess Zero far exceed human capability: The chess computer found a winning move no grandmaster had considered.
Chess computers revolutionized how the game is studied and played, serving as training partners, analysts, and—since Deep Blue defeated Kasparov in 1997—symbols of artificial intelligence's advance.
