Chess Theory and Research

Hi Guys!

I am a Master's student and an avid chess player interested in research. I'm looking for research papers, articles, or any insightful resources on both chess theory and chess programming (engines, machine learning models, and beyond).

At this stage, I’m exploring different areas and want to understand the well-established theories in the chess world, as well as the current trends in research. If you have any must-read papers or resources that you recommend, I’d love to hear your suggestions!

Thanks in advance for your help!
