Do we have now new LC0 default settings? The tuned settings were done using a mix of short time controls using the T58 (58613) network. These settings should be approximately optimal for all time controls with <20k nodes / move. Even though the CPuct scaling curve is not uniquely determined on slow...

Thanks for the explanations, both of you. ... My understanding is that CCRL is sticking to the old repeating time control (which at equal total time used leads to lower quality compared to standard increment, ... I see it exactly the opposite, usually inc games lead to low quality in the endgame, o...

Just an fyi, you can download a lot of the Mephisto engines as uci if you wanted to run them on the same hardware to compare. http://rebel13.nl/index.html Or you could also download my CB-Emu program, which emulates more than 200 chess computers (not only Mephisto, but also Fidelity, Novag, Saitek ...

What is the supported max cpu number (according to the uci options) for Fritz 17? Asking for info, because I added now a Ginkgo entry to the XB/UCI chronology. (note that some programs detect the max mumber themselves and then write the number of your cores) Yes, this appears to be the case, tried ...

Just noticed that Sedat published a new version of his excellent Perfect series. Supported are all common file types, from Arena to Polyglot. I have always found these to be of highest quality and wanted to thank Sedat for his continued contribution to our hobby. (still missing his friendly online p...

Thank you both. I should have thought of it myself! Again, appreciate the responses.

...moderately difficult and vetted by modern engines.
Intended for second-tier engine testing - not Stockfish.

Thanks,

Thanks for the update and good luck with the project. It will be good to see it reenter TCEC when you feel sufficient progress has been made.
There is a lot of interest in different approaches to NN, perhaps specifically about not being as rigid on the self-imposed "zero" aspect.

Cheers,
