What are some of the go-to books/articles for computer chess? I like the game and have a decent understanding of basics, so studying algorithms based on the game would be a good opportunity for me to learn conventional algos, but also RL/ML/MCTS etc. Also I wonder what is the go-to codebase these days?

Stockfish and Leela are the two best engines and they’re both on GitHub. Although I will say they are hyperoptimized to win.

You can also ask any noob questions on their Discords.
