The problem with using NNs in chess is, as the old quote says, "chess is 99% tactics". This means that a knight on f6 or g6 may mean the difference between +Checkmate and -Checkmate due to tactics, but to a NN it will only give a small difference. NN are better at finding positional elements and are therefore extremely difficult to use in respect to chess. If there were coupled to a tactical engine they would perform better - but will be much slower at evaluating a position, which in turn would slow down the tactical engine. Othello is a game that may benefit from NN. Steve Maughan
