Dinora Chess Engine

Dinora

Documentation | Installation

Dinora is alphazero-like chess engine. It uses keras/tensorflow for position evaluation and Monte Carlo Tree Search for calculating best move.

Features

• Working chess engine
• Minimal example of alpazero-like engine NN + MCTS
• All code included in this repo - for playing and training
• Everything written in python

Status

You can play against Dinora in standard chess variation, with or without increment. I assume engine strength is about 1400 Lichess Elo, I evaluate engine rating basing on a few games against me, so it's not accurate.
You can see example game below
(10+0) Dinora (100-200 nodes in search) vs Me (2200 Rapid Lichess rating)
