One of the most interesting and significant happenings within the chess world is Google's Alpha Zero, an artificial intelligence engine/entity, was given all the rules of chess and allowed to think about chess for 4 hours. Alpha Zero then absolutely crushed Stockfish 9 in a 100 game match. Stockfish won NO games but managed to draw several. Alpha Zero won 37 games outright.
This is unprecedented. I would encourage interested peeps to watch some of the vids:
