How can you seriously call SF8 at 1 minute/move on 64 threads crippled?peter wrote:The point is, that the question remains, if the big "learning success" has happened in anything else then this, to succeed against the crippled opponent learning to beat it in its crippled openings only.
Things would be very different if AlphaZero had been trained just to beat SF8 in that particular configuration. But there is no evidence of that whatsoever. AlphaZero was trained by self-play for four hours, had never been shown a move played by Stockfish, then beat Stockfish convincingly.
