We are pleased to inform you about the collaboration between Garry Kasparov and Shibuya Productions.  It is the first time that a foreign Manga is featured. In the Manga world, it is similar to a scientist being featured in
Nature.

BLITZ THE GAME :

* Blitz is created by Cedric Biscay in the French language then there is
translation and many exchanges in the Japanese language with the Japanese
artist Daitaro Nishihara, that’s why the manga is simultaneously

A team of researchers from Aarhus University in Denmark let DeepMind‘s AlphaZero algorithm loose on a few quantum computing optimization problems and, much to everyone’s surprise, the AI was able to solve the problems without any outside expert knowledge. Not bad for a machine learning paradigm designed to win at games like Chess and StarCraft.

You’ve probably heard of DeepMind and its AI systems. The UK-based Google sister-company is responsible for both AlphaZero and AlphaGo, the systems that beat the world’s most skilled humans at the games of Chess and Go.
