What is ChessCoach?
ChessCoach is a neural network-based chess engine capable of natural-language commentary. It plays chess with a rating of approximately 3450 Elo, which means it should usually beat even the strongest human players at 2850 Elo, and many other engines, but will often lose to the strongest, such as Stockfish 14 at 3550 Elo.
As with all engines, ChessCoach relies on examining millions of chess positions to decide on the best move to play. It uses a large, slow neural network just like AlphaZero or Leela Chess Zero (Lc0) to evaluate each position, unlike classical engines which aim for speed with a much simpler evaluation, or more recent NNUE engines, which are a stronger hybrid of both styles.
