AI Chess Lab AI Chess Tools, research, lab notes, and durable reference pages.

Independent chess systems work

Research, tool releases, and field notes in one durable index.

AI Chess keeps dedicated tool pages, longform research, flagship articles, downloadable binaries, field notes, and stable lab pages grouped by subject so important work stays easy to find later.

Sections

Tools, research, lab pages, methods, and field notes.

Publishing model

Artifacts, binaries, and context stay tied together.

What belongs where

Use tool pages for dedicated workstreams and archives for the running record.

Each tool page can hold releases, related research, and stream-specific posts while the main site keeps the broader research and release overview visible.

Current priorities

  • Dedicated tool pages with their own releases and supporting work
  • Perft verification and trustable baselines
  • Flagship articles and stable pages that stay easy to find later

The History of AI in Chess

A readable foundation piece on how chess AI moved from early symbolic search and custom hardware to modern neural and hybrid engines. It is meant to orient the rest of the site, not disappear inside a category tree.

Start here if you want the larger context first.

Useful before the benchmark notes, tool releases, and experiment logs start getting specific.

AI Chess is a working home for chess research, downloadable tooling, and the reference pages that should stay easy to find long after the post stream moves on.

The site is organized like a lab notebook with shelves instead of a pile. Tool pages hold releases and stream-specific work, research archives hold the longform experiments, and static pages explain the infrastructure, methods, and publishing rules behind the results.

Research

Write-ups that survive first contact

Experiments, benchmark notes, and verification work published with enough detail to be useful later.

Tools

Downloads with context attached

Tool pages are meant to hold release notes, versioning, checksums, and the explanation that makes the binary worth downloading.

Reference Pages

Static sections for the durable parts

Lab, methods, and about pages give the site structure so important material does not get buried in chronology.

Site sections

Tools, flagship articles, and archives with clearer boundaries.

Tools

Dedicated tool pages keep binaries, release notes, stream-specific work, and supporting research in one place.
