Can a chess engine play like a particular famous player? Different players have different personalities and different playing styles. Mikhail Tal's style is different from Tigran Petrosian, just as Kasparov is different from Karpov. I am wondering if there is a chess engine that can play &quot;like&quot; a real famous chess player, both in the sense of playing strength and style. After all, playing against a &quot;resurrected&quot; Capablanca or Botvinnik will be an exciting idea.
This idea was very popular back in the days, some programmers used their best to create such engines, and they did achieve that (to a certain extend)
Some engines that you might want to check out are:
