MockFish - A Reinforcement Learning Project for the King and Queen Endgame

Introduction

Inspired by the achievements of top Chess AI bots using Deep reinforcement learning, this report aims to delve into the application of reinforcement learning by developing MockFish, a chess model aptly named after leading Chess AI StockFish, to develop an algorithm to checkmate the opposing King in the King and Queen endgame, a subset of Chess games.

This project is developed by Joseph Aedan Marcus as an assignment for the COM3240 Adaptive Intelligence module at the University of Sheffield.
