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?

Is the portal to go. From there, you can dig deeper in many relevant themes.

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.
