It is certainly difficult for an equal hardware list, where equality is based on CPU benchmarks. SSDF is in the best position, they have engines listed running on different hardware already. No issues for them at all. Is it totally correct to think of CCRL as equal hardware where you have 1, 2 and ...

So, are these distilled networks also good for slower GPU cards? Which one (dn) is the strongest?
Thanks!

Nice game! The new Marvin, an attacking genius?!?

One wonders how AlphaZero was able to overcome such weaknesses that Leela still has -- occasional tactical blindness, and relatively weaker and sloppier endgame play.

Was it just a matter of a larger amount of hardware resources allocated to training, or perhaps a smarter approach/methodology?

The real point of this project is to create a smart analysis tool, especially for tough endgames and fortress-type positions. Using it for engine matches is a waste of resources, imho.

A nice win, except for the endgame. Giving up extra queen for free? Leela plays endgames even worse than Skipper! :) Can't see mate in 3 here? 1b6/8/4K3/8/2k5/8/q7/5q2 b - - 1 142 Torturing the audience with 30 more moves :) Yes, this is something that needs to be looked at. I think this is also wh...

Lowering Houdini's FiftyMoveDistance too much would also cause it to walk into sudden losses where it assumed a checkmate was 'safely' beyond the draw threshold when it actually wasn't. However, it was a still a good feature if you lowered it to a more reasonable number, as it enabled Houdini to mak...

The answer is actually given away in the image posted, but in the Caro-Kann Black brings his Q-Bishop out before playing e6 and then may retreat it to h7. If Black then plays g6 the bishop will become trapped. Anyway, I thought Komodo had gotten over its trapped piece problem.

Thanks for the links - interesting project!

its a long tournament near the end, people get exausted and Sam was disappointed by his blunder before...when things accumulate humans make mistakes easier...if he would have been fresh im sure he had not resigned and saw the draw !!? That's part of what makes a 2700 player what he is. Otherwise, h...
