Playing endgame chess with the Tsetlin Machine

2020

Master's thesis in Information- and communication technology (IKT590) The report is about training an Artificial Intelligence(AI) that is able to play out endgames, using the existing solved endgame of chess to train the Tsetlin Machine on. This report describes the methods used to train and test a Tsetlin Ma-chine using both the convolutional and multiclass implementation. We have further tested out different methods to handle the data it trains on to investigate what methods work best. Where these methods are; to split the data for two machines for either white or black starting player, transforming the data to only be from one starting players perspective and one splitting based on resul…
