On the other hand, I have positions where NN engines toil for an hour without finding a tactical solution that alpha-beta engines find in a few seconds. When you only have a hammer in your tool kit, everything looks like a nail. A point often purposely (or otherwise) overlooked by NN advocates. Nei...

I think this is a key position in the game. White has many possible moves.

Hmmm...

I'm not sure there was a key position, but if there was I'm pretty sure this isn't it.

It's long been the case that it's more cost, time, and power efficient to store every root position that's analyzed longer than a second. This includes all position not already stored in an EGTB even if 128 byte records are used. The analysis is a little more complex for non-root positions but many...

Looking at this board: https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Motherboard/TRX40-AORUS-XTREME-rev-10#kf I think maybe you could put 4x 2080 supers in there. Of course, that would eat up ALL of your PCIe 4.0 slots. I suspect that there may be (or will be) PCIe 4.0 GPUs available. With the doubled bandwidth of P...

https://www.pcmag.com/news/371784/seagate-will-ship-18tb-and-20tb-hard-drives-in-2020 While there has been a lot of talk about new CPUs, GPUs and maybe flash storage (or "optane") technologies, hard drive progress continues to march forward. Seagate will release 18TB "Conventional" Hard Drives next...

Approximate cost performance ratios for the R9 3900X, R9 3950X, Threadripper 3960X and Threadripper 3970X for a new build with a RTX2060 super and 64GB DDR4-3200 ram. The only specs that differ is the CPU, MB (AM4 vice TRX40), and power supply is larger for the two threadripper systems. Does not inc...

A game update would be nice!
