It took AlphaZero only a few hours of self-learning to become the
chess player that shocked the world. The artificial intelligence
system AlphaZero had been fed nothing but the rules of the Royal
Game when it beat the worlds strongest chess engine in a prolonged
match. The selection of ten games published in December 2017
created a worldwide sensation: how was it possible to play in such
a brilliant and risky style and not lose a single game against an
opponent of superhuman strength? For Game Changer, Matthew Sadler
and Natasha Regan investigated more than two thousand previously
unpublished games by AlphaZero. They also had unparalleled access
to its team of developers at DeepMind and were offered a unique
look under the bonnet to grasp the depth and breadth of AlphaZeros
search. Sadler and Regan reveal its thinking process and tell the
story of the human motivation and the techniques that created
AlphaZero. Game Changer also presents a collection of lucidly
explained chess games of astonishing quality. Both professionals
and club players will improve their game by studying AlphaZeros
stunning discoveries in every field that matters: opening
preparation, piece mobility, initiative, attacking techniques,
long-term sacrifices and much more. The story of AlphaZero has a
wider impact. Game Changer offers intriguing insights into the
opportunities and horizons of Artificial Intelligence. Not just in
solving games, but in providing solutions for a wide variety of
challenges in society. With a Foreword by former World Chess
Champion Garry Kasparov and an Introduction by DeepMind CEO Demis
Hassabis.
