Introducing Maia, a human-like neural network chess engine

This is amazing though it is quiet weak

If Maia 1 was trained on 1100s then why doesn't it have a rating of about 1100?

@Zoohouse #51 I read the article but couldn't find an answer to that question. Could you please quote the passage?

@minecraft358 It's a computer. It can make moves that are good for its level faster then average players at that level.

@AnonymousForumPoster but that doesn't explain the high rapid and classical rating

I played 3 games 15 15 against Maia9. This bot is very nice idea. I feel Maia9 was tuned for blitz games. In classical games (15 15) Maia9 has too many mistakes imo.

Small request: Maia2200 or Maia 2300 for more fun

@minecraft358 yes it does. It thinks faster meaning it can play better then 1100s in any time control.

Very interesting.
Specially when using these bots as part of analysing our own games.
This is sooo genius

#64 (and below) from the article:

Maia’s goal is to make the average move that players at its target level would make. Playing Maia 1100, for example, is more like playing a committee of 1100-rated players than playing a single 1100-rated player—they tend to average out their idiosyncratic mistakes

@minecraft358 because humans have personal mistakes they repeat but others don't. So Maia on average plays better chess.

Is there not enough data to make higher rated Maias?
