Post by Marcus9 »

Is there a function to convert the Komodo MCTS score into a chance of winning as leela?

Well, we do use a conversion formula, since MCTS requires using a win prob. But I don't think that the one we are using actually predicts the win prob. well, it just works well with the MCTS formula. In order to minimize the "trolling" behavior characteristic of Lc0, we purposefully use an unrealistic conversion formula.
