"5 Chess Exploration Tips for 2024 World Championship"
Chess, that timeless game of strategy, has been a key arena for testing artificial intelligence. Over at Google, we've made some pretty cool strides with AI, especially with AlphaZero. This system basically taught itself to play chess from scratch and ended up mastering it, showing just how good AI can be at coming up with creative solutions in tricky situations.
The techniques we've honed through chess have had some real-world impacts, too. Take AlphaFold, for instance, which uses similar methods to predict protein structures. Then there's AlphaProof, speeding up math research, and AlphaDev, which is out there discovering new algorithms. It's this back-and-forth between chess and AI that keeps us excited about the game and its influence on AI development.
And now, with Google sponsoring the World Chess Championship, we're taking the celebration of this classic game to new heights around the world.
1. Dive Deep into Chess History

The second book ever published in English was about chess. The Game and Playe of Chesse was published in the 1470s.
The International Chess Federation (FIDE) is one of the oldest sports governing bodies, established in Paris in 1924.
1912, The First Computer Game in History
The International Chess Federation (FIDE) and Google Arts & Culture have teamed up to launch "Beyond the Board," a digital exhibit that takes you on a journey through chess history from the sixth century to the present. Curated by Woman Grandmaster Anna Burtasova, it features FIDE's archival collection of photos, rare scoresheets, and artworks, showing how the game has evolved and spotlighting its key figures.
"Beyond the Board" also looks at how AI has changed modern chess, showing off the huge leaps in chess engine processing power, while still celebrating chess as a place for human creativity and strategy. This exhibit wouldn't have been possible without our close partnerships with experts and cultural organizations, and we're eager to keep working with them on future projects.
2. Create Unique Chess Pieces with AI
Get ready to rethink the classic chess set with GenChess, a cool new AI tool from Google Labs. Just type in a theme like "sushi" or "mountain climbing," and Google's top-notch image generator, Imagen 3, will whip up a one-of-a-kind chess set for you.
3. Build Your Own AI Chess Bot
FIDE and Google are teaming up to push the boundaries of AI with the FIDE & Google Efficient Chess AI Challenge, hosted by Kaggle.
This coding challenge is open to anyone around the world who wants to build their own AI chess engine. The twist? Your engine has to work within tight memory and processing limits, making it a level playing field for everyone with a passion for AI and a creative streak. Kaggle's got you covered with free computing resources, starter materials, and a supportive community. Check out the competition page on Kaggle to get involved.
4. Play Chess Against Gemini's Chess Gem
Coming up in December, Chess champ lets you play chess in a whole new way within the Gemini app. Challenge a language model to a game of chess, try out different openings, chat with Gemini, and see if you can outsmart it. This feature will be available in English in the Gemini web app for Gemini Advanced subscribers.
5. Follow the World Chess Championship with AI Commentary
This year, we're bringing AI right to your screens during the World Chess Championship. With "Chatting Chess," a new segment on the FIDE livestream, Gemini will break down the game for you, offering insights, cool chess facts, and easy-to-understand comparisons and analogies to help you grasp the key moves and strategies.
The championship starts on Monday, November 25, and you can watch all the action, including "Chatting Chess," on FIDE's YouTube livestream, kicking off at 5:00 PM Singapore time.

AlphaZero teaching itself chess and then dominating? That's just mind-blowing! 😱 I've been using these tips to improve my game, and they really help. But sometimes the AI moves are so out there, it's hard to follow. Still, a great resource for any chess enthusiast looking to up their game!

AlphaZero is mind-blowing! It taught itself chess and became a master. It's cool to see AI doing this, but it's also a bit scary. How long until AI beats us at everything? 🤔
