Lc0 weak spot position from the past

Post by Max »

[d]4k3/4p3/3pPp2/2pP1Pp1/1pP3Pp/pP4RP/P5BR/7K b - - 0 1

Even without special knowledge, (most) ab-engines avoid hxg3 after a short think.

Lc0 0.22.0 with weights 42854 struggles here, searching 75M nodes.

- Is there a weights file, which doesn't fall into this trap?
- Are there other engines with the same issue?

Yep, 320x24.J13-swa-410000 is great. From the beginning hxg3 is the third choice.

Looks like the later T40 nets struggle here (i.e. 42850). Weights file 56215 does fine too.
