LCZero update

[Nay Lin Tun]

Lol, how many NN engines available for competition. The standard competition would be in standard setting of most common hardwares, GPU vs CPU competition,(Leela on intel Hd 530 gpu vs stockfish on intel i7 4 cores laptop ). or similar desktop.

It would be the best competition as it would be the reason where millions of chess fans would be choosing Leela or Stockfish.

CCRL and CEGT (and nearly every other big contest) are uniform hardware.

@Carlos, I think we have Leela 14 and I have leela 12 only. I dont know where I can find the updated versions. I digged into github and google group but I dont understand how to get the working version.

I'll make a new package later today when Gen 16 is out. Would be pointless to make one now with Gen 15 when 16 is coming.

Is there any consensus about the naming meanwhile?
Actually I am not sure where the gen 'number' comes from?
Wouldn't it be easier to name it after the hex name of the used network file?

"Gen" is just the promoted network number. If we use the hex number, then I ask you:

LCZero 56csf352
LCZero 352cfe09

Which one is newer? How strong are they, aprox? What the hell are those numbers? (normal question of normal users)

Hello, I would like to update generation 13 to the latest Leela.

I downloaded the latest network file (network ID 22 file or 98240a5b ) and going to replace it with my current network file cd1a1e

Is there anything else I need to do to update my Leela zero

regards,
Nay

To get the current versions of this project, which is changing often, you will want to go directly to the source. The sources are listed below.

CLIENT
The official client, including source, is here:
https://github.com/glinscott/leela-chess/releases

ENGINE
A windows compile of the engine is built automatically and is available here (details below):
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/glinscott/leela-chess

NN 'network' FILE
The current network file is available here:
http://lczero.org/networks

Details of how to get engine:
1. go to https://ci.appveyor.com/project/glinscott/leela-chess
2. click a 'JOB NAME', for example "Environment: APPVEYOR_BUILD_WORKER_IMAGE=Visual Studio 2017"
3. click 'ARTIFACTS'
4. download engine

You likely want to get the network file with the highest ID number. Some users are confussing others and using this ID number together with the word 'generation'. For example, ID number 8 they call '8th generation'. More accurate would be to use the hex value given under NETWORK, as in, "A new network file, 03d94904, is available."

Correct in general, but when manually downloading networks, you should pick the one with the highest ID number on which self-play games were already played. Networks with zero self-play games are ones which failed their match, so if you download one like this you risk a slight regression on strength.
