The Lc0 endgame trolling is supposedly due to how its NN are trained, if my understanding is correct - (and that's always doubtful :| ), although one would hope that with few pieces on the board the MCTS search wouldn't have that much trouble finding a more direct win. Now, what could be Komodo's tr...

Based on your work with Lc0, what would have to be done to make Lc0 play handicap chess well, other than revert to an old network like 11248? Can you explain why 11248 could beat GM Naroditsky at piece odds, while the new networks just blunder left and right when trying to give knight or more odds?...

Good luck with your renamed engine, Mike. The new name is quite alright.

Cheers!

I happened to come across this position just now. Ng4!! is instantly found by 'Nezh on my slow box.

Of course, you could, but I don't see it as a major breakthrough for engine vs engine matches.

It bothered me, too, to remain silent, but I felt I lacked the stamina to engage in the heated debate that was certainly to follow. Perhaps pointing out a simple alternative point of view would have sufficed.

No reason to change. I like delay better, but computer chess is a different beast.

It is not OpenTal, although the approach is in a similar vein, but it's quite a lot stronger. A while back I even posted a game where it defeated OpenTal in a direct encounter.

This is a world-wide forum about computer chess. Not everybody, by any means, supports USA, or its Independence Day. Nor is everybody American. Some of us see the US as an enemy nation, I certainly do. Same goes for naming programs after War Criminals. The idea on these forums is that politics go t...
