Reconnaissance Blind Chess - Join the NeurIPS Competition!

[rwga...@gmail.com]

Create a bot for the NeurIPS 2022 competition in Reconnaissance Blind Chess!

Reconnaissance Blind Chess is a chess variant designed for new research in artificial intelligence. RBC includes imperfect information, long-term strategy, explicit observations, and almost no common knowledge. These features appear in real-world scenarios, and challenge even state of the art algorithms including those used to create super-human bots in chess, Go, and poker, for example. Each player of RBC controls traditional chess pieces, but cannot directly see the locations of her opponent's pieces. Rather, she learns partial information each turn by privately sensing a 3x3 area of the board. RBC's foundation in traditional chess makes it familiar and entertaining to human players, too!

There is no cost to enter this tournament. Winners will receive a small monetary prize and authors of the best AIs will be invited talk about their bots at NeurIPS, the world's largest AI conference.
