Yes. They do that, to annoy you. And it's good.
After his son's birth they've asked him:
"Is it a boy or girl?"
YES! He replied.....

For tournaments which allow it I think you can retain the Lc0 badge even with tablebase support and even a book, provided Lc0 chose the moves and it wasn’t based on human / SF games.chessdev wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 8:15 pm We may consider doing TB adjudication in the future. That said, our time controls are short, and I believe we've seen some interesting games and positions because we haven't adjudicated. I'm open to suggestions! Perhaps for TB draws... but for wins, let's see it played out!?
For this tournament I’d go for whatever gives maximum strength.

But that's a side experiment, right?? The main nets better continue to be "0".

Only consider TB adjudication if Lc0 is not there e.g. Stage 3.chessdev wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 8:15 pm We may consider doing TB adjudication in the future.

Yeah, let's see it played out win, draw or loss. It'll show where Lc0 is at in the endgame.

Here is a powershell script I wrote which attempts to solve the ponder/affinity problem of running two pondering engines, at the same time, on a windows machine. It aims to set each engine to defined CPUs.
Feedback very welcome:
