Re: Leelafish with distilled network
The dynamic duo. This is really interesting. The 2 engines melding together to become the most powerful chess entity.

Re: Thanks for LC0
Here are some of the people to thank: " Majority of the codebase is from Leela Zero, which means Gian-Carlo Pascutto, along with several other major Leela Zero contributors you can find at https://github.com/gcp/leela-zero/blob/master/AUTHORS. The initial portation to chess was done by Benedict Diam...

Re: End of Era is there: SF is finally beaten!
Yes very true! The weight file or "learning file" of Lc0 is around 45mb ... this is a tiny file when you think about all the possible moves there are until Lc0 produced the very nice Bg6! move. The idea that Lc0 is just a large file of memorized book openings is beyond silly as the file would have ...

Re: End of Era is there: SF is finally beaten!
... There is no any "spectacular" and there is no any "plan" on the side of Leela. In reality the position after 19.-c4 and the good continuation is in the 32930net of Leela. To prove this I used the weak GTX 1060 to find the 20.Bg6 move. From net30100 to net32000 Leela want to move 20.Be4, 20.Bxc4...

Re: End of Era is there: SF is finally beaten!
Very true ... I think that SF even on 1000 cores would still lose to Lc0 some pretty spectacular games. I mean just look at yesterday's loss ... out of the opening and each engine plays a few moves by itself and you have this position [d]r2q1k1r/3b1pp1/1p2p2p/p2pP2P/P1p2P2/3B4/2P1QBP1/R3K2R w KQ - ...

Re: End of Era is there: SF is finally beaten!
How can one know whether the engines are playing on equal terms? How can you compare CPU and GPU and state you've found a balance? Nohow. There are only subjective methods to make comparison. Moreover AB engines are made basically for playing middle games and endgames. An AB engines will be banishe...

Re: LCZero starts with an opening disadvantage..................
Check out the last game that Lc0 beat SF in at TCEC ... incredible opening play. Totally destroyed SF by giving up a bishop and then going down 3 pawns so that it could keep the rook on h8 out of play for enough time to create a winning advantage. I have never ever seen an engine that can play the ...

It really is that simple.
You can't kick someone out for being annoying.
