What happens if AlphaZero goes SaaS?

Post by MikeGL »

Would you rent AlphaZero if it goes Software as a Service (SaaS)?
I want to load some very difficult chess positions which are currently beyond the prowess of
SF8 dev version (and other top chess engines) in case A0 goes SaaS. My hands are itching, and
would be fun to estimate the rating of A0 if we can load tough EPD suites.

I have a couple of test positions in mind, I know it is not happening (going SaaS),
but it would be interesting to see some of your tough candidate positions to be fed into AlphaZero.

Could be one of those tough ones. (bm QxN)
