How to put a chess app on the cloud (play AI without threatening humanity!)
Needless to say, there are a lot of complex issues surrounding the Kasparov-Deep Blue rivalry; but for IBMer Eric Rose, it inspired him to explore how chess AI has evolved in the two decades since then. He found that the Stockfish open-source chess engine is considered to be one of the best, and he was further inspired to make a Linux -based chess app available on the cloud using Bluemix and IBM containers. Fortunately for us, he documented his processes in a new article, in which he describes how he created a Docker image containing Stockfish and websocketd. By using IBM containers on Bluemix to run his Docker container, he was able to expose the Stockfish Linux application as a service that's available on the cloud. I'll leave it to greater minds than mine to debate whether AI is an existential threat to human existence.
