You’re making up your own terminology here. Let’s stick with accepted terminology; 1. A neural network architecture is something like ResNet50. It’s an abstract concept that can be applied to different domains (different image sizes, sound inputs, etc.). All of the architectures currently in common...

Now, I’m continuing to retell my March documents to TCEC, regarding the other two parts of the TCEC rule, engine and neural network. Here the intention was quite good, but interpretation is quite bent.. Let’s go to our favorite example, Allie+Stein. They use Lc0’s NN architecture (together entire Lc...

Just to clarify, I’m not accusing authors (of Allie+Stein) of sending the engine which I don’t consider original enough. Authors can make an engine, and reuse any portion of code, that’s GPL after all. CCCC admins for example openly say that they allow clones, they pick engines based on entertainmen...

I suggested that too as the first suggestion. He responded that rules have to be strict, unambiguous and cover all cases without need of any human interpretation. Ridiculous response, that could never work I cannot find exact response in logs, so it's possible that I exaggerated the response. By my...

The whole clone and derivatives issue is a minefield. So many different opinions and viewpoints and "definitions". I would advise Anton to replace any clone "rules" with a simple statement "engines are entered at our sole discretion" then there are no arguments about rules being followed or not. Jo...

I wanted to bring up this topic several times already, but my drafts were too long to post. Now, as Allie has good chances to go into finals, I think it’s time to bring this topic back. Also I get frequent questions why don’t I bring this topic up if I don’t agree. So, I tried to bring this topic up...

I cannot get Komodo MCTS to repeat the blunder on 7 threads, it immediately sees the correct move and also that Kh2 is losing. I can only guess that somehow with 43 threads there is some problem. Someone in the chat said that it's not reproducible on move 124, but on the next move (125), it takes K...

By whom? Not that I didn't expect this... but can I somewhere else read about the confirmation?

Ciao

E.g. here are screenshots of Discord chat where ASilver confirms that.

Now chess.com is doing 150/5 , 12 games match, SF vs Leela on CPU. ( Leela is 320x24, bigger network). Speed ratio of nps = 1:100,000. :mrgreen: . Results so far= 2 draws. nps ratio is ~120 000. Not sure whether comma is a decimal delimiter or thousand delimemter, but neither seem to be correct.
