At this month’s Sinquefield Cup chess tournament, 19-year-old American Hans Niemann upset 53-match undefeated champion Magnus Carlsen, only to lead to a cheating accusation . Niemann admits to cheating in online games before, but firmly denies cheating in offline games. Whatever the truth is, everyone agrees that cheating at a chess tournament in 2022 is very simple, and AI software packages called chess engines for the past 15 years can easily beat the best chess masters. Chess players have no chance of winning against machines, so the battle between human players mainly relies on psychological weaknesses to find loopholes to defeat their opponents, so the chess game has become a psychological battle, just like playing poker . To understand how big a machine’s advantage is, look at the chess rankings: Carlsen holds the highest human score at 2882, beat Kasparov’s IBM Deep Blue supercomputing score of 2853 in 1997, and today’s most powerful AI program, Stockfish Conservative With an estimated score of over 3,500 points , it’s basically impossible for Carlsen to beat it.
