Here are the top five strongest computer chess engines. Just as Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Vishy Anand, Veselin Topalov, and Hikaru Nakamura (et al.) rule the world of human chess, so too do the elite engines dominate computer chess. While any decent chess program could easily beat the world's top humans, there are vast differences in strength among the ranks of the engines. Nowadays, there is no human player that can beat one of the top chess engines. Behind the scenes, of course, the engines are busy calculating millions of variations, which - added to their superior ability to judge resulting positions - allows them to play chess more accurately than ever before. They are playing higher levels of chess than anyone imagined, and sometimes even the best humans can scarcely understand the insanely nuanced maneuvers the computers play seemingly without effort. The machines have left humans to play among themselves as the computers probe further into the chess unknown. Gobbling up every bit of chess knowledge given to them, computer chess engines are getting better at a faster rate. machine long-ago settled over the chessboard, the field of computer chess is now a collaboration between some of the most dedicated chess teachers in the world (the developers), and the best students in the history of chess: the engines themselves. By and large, computers are also the present of chess. Almost everyone agrees on that.īut the statement doesn’t go far enough.
