Lc0 played with endgame tabletables of 6 pieces, Stockfish9 no. Are you sure you played with all 6men for LC0? Normally it should be impossible then to lose the 6men endgame which was on board since move 44 by Black? Ok, giving away the pawn by 43.a7?! was already unnecessary, except you know the e...

The series 30 of Leela Chess Zero continues advancing but it does not reach the level of the series 10. I have played two matches to compare: Lc0_11261-Stockfish9 Lc0_31696-Stockfish9 Lc0 has used a GTX1060 GPU with 3Gb while Stockfish 9 has used three cores of the i7 4790S resulting in an approxima...

My sincere congratulations to the DeepMind team, because after half a century of alpha-beta algorithm their new approach has revolutionized computer chess and created authentic artworks in their games against Stockfish.

If during this time they have advanced and have achieved better results with A0 version 2 It's not clear whether they are actively developing it. Maybe not? I don't know, but for the amount of games and news in the revised version of the article, I would say that they have been quite busy until the...

Ok, I browsed quickly the paper and the additional material. All important results are against SF8, aside the one against SF9, but from 1 standard opening position. The Cerebellum book, "Human Openings" and TCEC openings are used by SF8. The results against SF8 + Cerebellum and against SF8 in TCEC ...

Thanks for sharing!
It seems that the speed of lc0 is impressive, you could say the specifications of the card like

8 GB de RAM, 1620 MHz Core Clock, etc

The RL approach builds a giant evaluation function based on pattern recognition. The positions you present here are obviously irregular patterns and LC0 can make no real use of the pattern recognition. On the other hand, regular engines "break-down" the evaluation function into logical pieces of in...

Very interesting experiment, thanks for sharing.

I have read in lc0 forum that somebody when using powerful GPU has put nncache=50000 instead of default nncache=20000

see for example

Maybe you can try it at longer time controls.
