Hi, as far as I could understand training for 3xxxx NN continues to input whole contributors games (no change here) but substitutes the 5men endgame TB evaluation once such a position is reached for an early accurate and definitive result, not blurred by further randomness (temperature) or lack of k...

Thanks Dennis for sharing Schooner 2.
