Hi Adam,

Might I suggest the leelenstein networks that can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/jjosh :)

Allie seems to be doing well with them. You could of course use the lc0 networks here: http://www.lczero.org

Are you going to swap in the new version for tcec? Maybe it can overtake the spaghetti code of lc0?
Fat Titz by Stockfish, the engine with the bodaciously big net. Remember: size matters. If you want to learn more about this engine just google for "Fat Titz".

Hi Adam,

first of all a big thank you for releasing your program!

I have a question. What is the meaning of the parameter GPUCores?

Thanks in advance

GPUCores is not very well named. Really it just means how many GPUs you have that are cuda capable. So if you have two rxt 2080ti's for instance, just set that to 2. If you have four, set it to 4. etc.
