Lc0 v0.21.2 was released, including "Sticky endgames" feature (default on). This makes Lc0 play better when it sees a checkmate somewhere during the search.

But also thanks to dkappe who made the setup pretty easy or at least bearable to me with all the explanations on his site. I don’t own any powerful hardware, so I had to go with ...

Gandalf 7 does not work on my computer (Windows 10 64bit) with the ChessBase GUI - it terminates instantly with an exception.

This is quite untrue. :) Sean Evans hasn't be...
