Mission
Computer chess has always been more than a game. It has served as a proving ground for artificial intelligence, a benchmark for decision-making systems, and a public measure of technological excellence.
With this project, PhoneSoft pursues the long-term goal of competing at the very top of computer chess — the World Championship level. Not as an isolated sporting ambition, but as part of a broader exploration of how complex AI systems are designed, combined, and evaluated under extreme conditions.
For AI researchers, computer chess remains a uniquely transparent environment to study learning, search, heuristics, and meta-decision systems — where progress can be measured objectively and failures are visible.
For chess players, it represents the frontier of what is currently possible: the strongest systems, new styles of play, and engines that redefine how the game itself is understood.
For the wider public, success at the highest level of computer chess has long been a symbol of technological capability — a way to make advanced artificial intelligence tangible and understandable beyond laboratories and companies.
We invite interested readers to accompany this journey. Through curated updates and selected insights, we share progress, context, and reflections — without revealing sensitive internals, but with enough substance to show that this is a serious, long-term endeavor.
A Computer Chess World Championship title is not merely a trophy. It is a statement of capability, discipline, and technological maturity — one that places its holder among the small number of organizations whose work defines the visible edge of artificial intelligence.
