Reviews:
"Chess has been shaken to its roots by AlphaZero." - Former World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov
"Most unnerving was that AlphaZero seemed to express insight. It played like no computer ever has, intuitively and beautifully, with a romantic, attacking style." - Steven Strogatz, professor of mathematics at Cornell, New York Times
"One of the most important chess books ever written.” – GM Raymond Keene, The Spectator
"Quite inspirational. I was thinking at several points during the game [in Round 11 of the 2019 Tata Steel Chess Tournament]: how would AlphaZero have approached this?" – World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen
