The Turkish Grandmaster Taking On Unbeatable Chess Computers

The biggest thing that's changed in chess over time is the evolution of computers. In fact, chess computers used to be tools that many grandmasters used just to train. They could beat them after a certain amount of time and were full of confidence. But as technology advanced, so did computers. The same is true for chess computers. They've become so powerful that even the best players have stopped trying to beat them. Stockfish 13, which can reach up to 3546 ELO, is about 20 points ahead of its closest computer rival, Fat Fritz, and roughly 600 ELO ahead of even its human rival, Magnus Carlsen. What is a chess computer? Is it possible to beat a chess computer? What are the best chess computers? Who is the Turkish player trying to beat chess computers? The answers are in this article!

What Is a Chess Computer?

Chess computers are devices coded by developers to find the best move every single time. Growing stronger every year alongside advancing technology, these computers have now become nearly unbeatable. In 1997, Deep Blue, coded by IBM as a supercomputer, beat world champion Garry Kasparov, showing that big things were in store for us. Over the years, computers that have only grown stronger are now unbeatable. They only play matches against each other; grandmasters have already given up trying to beat them. Except for one Turkish player who's just starting to try, whom we'll talk about in this article :)
