AlphaGo ZeroAlphaGo Zero is a version of DeepMind's Go softwareAlphaGo. AlphaGo's team published an article in Nature in October 2017 introducing AlphaGo Zero, a version created without using data from human games, and stronger than any previous version. By playing games against itself, AlphaGo Zero: surpassed the strength of AlphaGo Lee in three days by winning 100 games to 0; reached the level of AlphaGo Master in 21 days; and exceeded all previous versions in 40 days.
AlphaZeroAlphaZero is a computer program developed by artificial intelligence research company DeepMind to master the games of chess, shogi and go. This algorithm uses an approach similar to AlphaGo Zero. On December 5, 2017, the DeepMind team released a preprint paper introducing AlphaZero, which would soon play three games by defeating world-champion chess engines Stockfish and Elmo, and the three-day version of AlphaGo Zero.
Master (software)Master is a version of DeepMind's Go softwareAlphaGo, named after the account name (originally Magister/Magist) used online, which won 60 straight online games against human professional Go players from 29 December 2016 to 4 January 2017. This version was also used in the Future of Go Summit in May 2017. It used four TPUs on a single machine with Elo rating 4,858. DeepMind claimed that AlphaGo Master was 3-stone stronger than the version used in AlphaGo v. Lee Sedol.
MuZeroMuZero is a computer program developed by artificial intelligence research company DeepMind, a subsidiary of Google, to master games without knowing their rules and underlying dynamics. Its release in 2019 included benchmarks of its performance in Go, chess, shogi, and a suite of 57 different Atari games. The algorithm uses an approach similar to AlphaZero, where a combination of a tree-based search and a learned model is deployed.

ChessChess is a board game for two players, played on a square board consisting of 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The players, referred to as "White" and "Black", each control sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns, with each piece type having a different pattern of movement. An enemy piece may be captured (removed from the board) by moving one's own piece onto the square it occupies.
