I have done analysis on some of the 50 games and will post something on it. I think many will find it interesting. No doubt Lc0 is an extremely strong engine, but even more than that ... there is no doubt that it will become much stronger very quickly. At the moment it is still not a useful stand a...

fwiw, i find t40 passing all of these (these being the 3 starkest blunders i've found so far) & avoiding a couple other, less-losing moves i've tested, but have only analyzed the Kf1 blunder at several MNs. 1r1q1rk1/p1pbbp2/7p/8/2PPnP2/1P6/PB2B2p/RN1Q1R1K w - - 0 20 31 [bm Qd3 (??)] 20.

I just did a 50 game match with SF latest Dev against Lc0 and although Lc0 won that match easily (+90 ELO), I can easily point to many one move howlers. I mean where a position would move from +5 for Lc0 (totally winning agreed by both sides) to -5 in one move. Now of course you could say a 3 min a...

Didn't know Dr. Strange did an MCTS to win against Thanos too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGKPfZTXHsc Ok, Avengers lost in Infinity War - Part 1 but they would probably win in Part 2. Sorry, not computer chess related but it would be cool if humans can build an engine which can also choose the ...

Why are just GPUs fast with NN engines? Please explain it to me! Before AlphaZero even came out including its paper, there was already a thread here by someone asking about harnessing GPU power because this expensive piece of hardware was just uselessly sitting down inside our machines during that ...
