Chess became artificial intelligence's most visible laboratory. This is the story of how the machines learned to choose.

Chess and Artificial Intelligence follows the intellectual journey from mechanical illusion to neural evaluation.

Inside you will discover:

why chess became a foundational test of machine decision-making
what the Mechanical Turk concealed and what El Ajedrecista genuinely automated
how Turing and Shannon translated chess into search and evaluation
how minimax, alpha-beta pruning, move ordering, and transposition tables work
why Belle, Deep Thought, and Deep Blue required specialized hardware
what the Kasparov matches proved and what they did not prove
how engines, databases, and tablebases changed preparation and analysis
how AlphaZero, Leela Chess Zero, NNUE, and Stockfish combine learning, evaluation, and search in different ways
what superhuman chess means for creativity, collaboration, fair play, and understanding

Clear historical narrative, plain-language technical explanations, and original conceptual diagrams reveal not only which systems became stronger, but how each advance reorganized the work of choosing a move.

Follow the mechanism. Question the verdict. Understand the change.
