Time and time again we have proven that engines still gain vast amounts of elo with core doubling, and even with going from N cores to 2N threads, as shown by Noobpwnftw using SF 192core vs SF 384 thread. The people who object to using these higher core counts have simply not taken the time to ensur...

I was demonstrating the absurdity of his test by being absurd. Why would anyone run such a test with Lc0 other then to mislead people and disparage Lc0 with such an obvious bias test. The tester claims to have vast knowledge on testing, but still posted this absurdity. From Lc0 http://blog.lczero.o...

Both using 8 cores Xeon E5-2670 at 3GHz all cores frequency. SF10 running on 16 threads (HT on), Lc0 v0.19 openblas implementation with 8 threads. Private opening set, 50 openings limited to 6 moves.

Whats more likely... 1) There is an issue with cute-chess that seemingly only impacts Scorpio 2) An engine which has crashed out in all recent seasons (and denied entrance for one as a result), which has recently had a NN and MCTS component strapped to it, might just happen to crash because there is...

OpenBench support. Raoni Campos mentioned this to me. If you haven't already, take a look at Andrew Grant's awesome contribution here Happy to answer any questions you have, either here or on TCEC chat. I know a number of developers who have taken on the task of supporting OpenBench without my help...
