At least we're no longer on the "no progress" stage!

[Rodolfo Leoni]

Just an impression. I can't think the checkmate is a random move. There are some logical moves too as 9. ..hxg6 and 15.Rxh2. These moves are some clues of possible learning.

[MikeGL]

4...d6 is an amazing move, traps the Bc7.
But even better than that is 5.Bb8

joking aside,
This is the first time I heard about this engine,
is this using AI stuff similar to AlphaZero?
Where can I download the binary and source?

Maybe you should find a different hobby. Collecting stamps, perhaps.

No much more stupid I play chess myself. Stopped for twenty years but being so stupid to start again a few years ago. People with anorexia also have problems to quit I saw yesterday on TV. But their disease is much more deadly.

[Ovyron]

Addicts are addicts, they quit something and get addicted to something else. So players able to quit chess for years but coming later back to it only mean that they didn't find anything better than chess to get addicted to.

The problem is when people don't enjoy their addictions. If they do, addictions are not a problem.
