Yes, the plot on the diagram is the training game, but 100 games per openning was played. 50-50, and the score below the diagram is on AlphaZero perspective.

12 openings with reversed colours don't square in any way with 100 played games, so did they actually left some openings played more than others, or did not they flip colours?
12 opennings x 100 = 1,200 games total.
Before we were talking about 300 and 100, now 1200 suddenly appears...
The 64/36 score certainly comes from 100 games, unless they assigned random points for a win.
And in that sample, I see Alpha playing just 1.d4 and 1.Nf3.
Read the series of posts properly. It is 100 games per openning, you clearly don't understand Table 2.

300 games because you were talking about 1.e4 earlier which appears in 6 diagrams.
How many is 50 x 6 ?
You were claiming that AlphaZero didn't play 1.e4, i told you it did! 300 times it did play 1.e4 against SF8.

See the total summation below: 1,200 games for all 12 opennings. Come on man, even this very
basic stuff we argue?
Do you have the pgn for the training games, which, btw., are claimed to run into the thousands?

Note that all Training games are self-play (no SF8 involved). The 1,200 are all match games against SF8.
No data given in PDF about the total number of self-play for learning, neither were the self-play PGN published. Only SF8 match was published.
100 game match versus SF8 was played on all 12 common ECO openings.
I guess you are confused of the plotted graph being put beside the
diagram. The graph is self-play, the diagram is SF8 match.
Try to read the caption of Table 2 properly. 37 times if need be.

23.Nd3 is horrible - game is probably lost , but after Nd3 it is definitely lost after 23 moves, Ne6 offers stiffer resistance.

One common theme in all of these games is how well alphazero played the opening ...

Q is forcibly trapped starting with exchange sac Rxc5 by AlphaZero.

I wonder why RxN is not even in the radar of SF8 while searching.
Play is almost perfect chess, IMO.

RxN!! Which engine can find this in infinite mode?

SF8 in a very difficult bind, no pieces can move already. Except the Rd7 which is also forced to defend f7.

I wonder why RxN is not even in the radar of SF8 while searching.
Play is almost perfect chess, IMO.

RxN!! Which engine can find this in infinite mode?
[D]3r2kq/p2prp1p/1p4pP/2nR4/1Q6/1B3RP1/P4PK1/8 w - - 4 47

...[snip]

latest dev-SF-McB - sometimes it goes back and forth with Qh4 , which appress to transpose to the Rxc5 line, with longer searches , score tends to go down to hover around 1.00 ...

They can't. The evaluation is a sequence of numbers specifying myriad weights on umpteen-dozen layers of a neural network. This aspect (of the original AlphaGo) in contrast to Stockfish is addressed in my Feb. 2016 article https://rjlipton.wordpress.com/2016/02/07/magic-to-do/ That this is endemic to "deep learning" has energized a counter-push toward "Explainable AI."

What I wish to know better, incidentally, is the memory footprint of their trained network and how portable it is.

Some of the games are really remarkable. I think a PC can be configured to play in a similar fashion. Maybe massive GPU floating point calculations can actually work for chess ... just needs a different approach. I always thought that a chess engine that can use a Monte Carlo based GPU as a partner would be a very powerful thing. Especially in avoiding locked positions where the horizon effect hurts traditional engines in identifying fortress positions. This really is a game changer, although I would want to know how the hardware stacks up. Hard to tell if we are comparing hardware of similar strength. But some of the positions it seems that even very powerful hardware cannot find the moves on a normal chess engine given enough time to equalize the hardware. Need more information on this but it does look like a major breakthrough.

I doubt that Google wants to be in the chess playing, or go playing or shogi playing business. I wonder what their goal is?

One possibility is self-driving cars, although they have competition there. Natural language recognition, and possibly translation, is also interesting. Maybe civil engineering?
