Cómo evitar que la Inteligencia Artificial te vuelva obsoleto (Guía Práctica):

En Diciembre de 2017, el mundo del ajedrez presenció el enfrentamiento entre David y Goliath. En una esquina estaba Stockfish, un programa de computación que había desarrollado sus habilidades a lo largo de más de 700 millones de partidas y que había sido 'entrenado' enseñándole los movimientos de todos los campeonatos mundiales de ajedrez de los últimos 30 años, así como todas las estrategias usadas por los maestros.

These days I realized that for this blog, I had only conducted one interview, the one with Andrés López's little bench. A Facebook message, on the other hand, caught my attention in this regard. Why hadn't this category been continued? For the benefit of my readers, I decided to interview one of my professional advisors: Mr. Murphy (in person!). It will be a surprise for many, since a being of such caliber and fame can only be compared to Nosferatu or Mephistopheles.
