Chess AIs

This project took about 4h of code writing and 1 night of ai training. I have created a program to train the AIs using chess.js and NEAT.js and a program to play against them with chess.js and chessboard.js.

The AIs learn to play by them selves, 10 AIs play each generation each playing 9 games. They earn 1 point for drawing and 2 points for winning although this may need to be revised as it causes them to play extremely defensively, so next time I might give points for winning in fewer moves and more points for winning rather than drawing.

The training does 1000 generations which I ran overnight on my raspberry-pi; it then prints the exported model to the console. The pre-trained model works right out of the box.

This can be done with algorithms but I opted for the lazy option and used neuroevolution.

ONLY PRESS THE TRAINING BUTTON IF YOU WANT TO TRAIN 1000 GENERATIONS BECAUSE IT MAY CRASH YOUR BROWSER FOR 16 HOURS.
