Yes. They do that, to annoy you. And it's good.
For an interested Chess player, that has already asked in vain around 15 times in the CCCC chat, where is the PGN of all the stage 1 games?chessdev wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 9:12 pm For any interested developer, here is the current Arena file: http://newman.chess.com/arena.debug
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!?
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.
