This just shows that computer chess has reached a level of understanding that humans simply cannot follow. I consider myself quite a strong player and when I look at games between say Magnus Carlsen and Caruana ... I pretty much understand almost every move they make and can predict the majority of...

I think TCEC should be looked at more for the entertainment value rather than a test to see which engine is stronger. Of course if one engine blows the other out of the water, then that can give a good idea of one engine's superiority over another. But since entertainment value is more important her...

Actually reading up more on the subject, it does seem it is possible to get a device that can run your GPU in an enclosure and have that connected to your laptop. That might be more cost effective as you can simply use an 2070 Super card and have 6x the performance for the same price bracket. You pr...

I watched Hikaru try that with Komodo at rapid time controls and it was really no contest. I also watched MVL try that with SF I think, and again they are just not even close, especially with Lc0 now. Lc0 removes the last possible angle where a human could possibly try and remove tactics from a posi...

I think this is a nice idea but this just seems way under powered for Lc0. If you look at the specs of even the top end model it is at around 500 cuda cores and 64 tensor cores. That is about 8x less than you would get for an rtx 2080ti card and price is around $1000. An rtx 2070 super is half that ...

Yes I saw that and did some searching on Amazon for the Jetson Xavier ... apparently it is quite expensive at around $900. If you have a home PC that is already with a good GPU then probably remote engine makes more sense. I wonder though, what is the power of this GPU compared to say an RTX 2080 Ti?

Until NN engines start playing endgames properly there will always be a place for a good sanity check with an AB engine. I wonder how much additional power an NN engine needs to be able to overcome its weaknesses. Most likely much much more as even with the 4 RTX 2080 Ti GPU's and tons of time, thin...

I think it is just the way that NN engines work. Remember they have only been around for a very limited time and for chess it seems that patterns in the opening and in the middle game are much more frequently similar, while in the endgame they need pure brute calculation to the end. Most likely this...

Unless a system is found to make cheating online difficult … there will always be some doubt about the results. Especially if results come up where one of the lower rated players wins or plays some incredible game (both of which are possible without cheating). The difference between a Super GM and a...
