SUMMARY:Teaching Your Computer to Play Chess (Part 1): Markov Games and TD 
 Learning
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Aakash Ghosh (TIFR)\n\nAbstract: \nHow do we mathemati
 cally formulate the problem of learning to play a game as complex as chess
 ? In the first part of this two-part series\, we will approach chess throu
 gh  the lens of Reinforcement Learning and Stochastic Approximation. We b
 egin by formalizing the game as a two-player zero-sum Markov Decision Proc
 ess\, discussing the Bellman Optimality Equation and minimax equilibria.\n
