Re: Leela Chess engine
I have a basic question.
Other (AB) engines if they have a specific version number, always calculate the same. In the endgame and in the opening.
So, if I write a book for engine x version y for example, then the engine will play on the basis of my analyzes, as I had analyzed it!
But Leela is different. Leela is constantly learning new things. This boils down to the fact that I can not control Leela. After all, I'm just a spectator. What fun do I have then?
Are my thoughts right?

No. The learning is in the NN, thus only if you change the NN file, you get something different.Eduard wrote: ↑Sun Jan 06, 2019 12:41 pm I have a basic question.

If you once have a sufficiently good NN, which satisfies you and you stay with it, while working on your selfmade book, there is no problem you described.
(if I understood your question correctly...)
