With the aid of algorithms from machine learning, Stockfish was able to gain some hundreds extra in ELO when playing against other top engines. These engines also contributed interesting data to chess theory as some were trained with zero information fed in - learning from purely random moves at first, playing itself. AlphaZero was able to arrive at many openings played by super GMs. Also, the heuristics used are often alpha-beta pruning (just for a little more info). | |
