You're supposed to be using the results to help find or confirm the correct answer, not assuming the answer and then biasing the results towards your assumption.

Are you going to argue that it's possible 1.g4 wins for white by force? That's the only scenario where you'd not want to assume otherwise, and no world exists where 1.g4 wins for white by force.

We would probably all be shocked if 1.g4 is a forced win, though we don't know 100% it isn't.

But that's not the main issue. The source of 1.g4 wins will also generate 1.g4 losses that may otherwise have been drawn. After all, Leela is generating many draws. It works both ways. If you're going to assume those draws should all have been losses (which is possibly true), then there's no point looking at Leela's statistics at all.

Yeah, suppose 1.g4 is actually a draw, and you play a self-play match and get that 73% of games are indeed won. What you'll find is that in those games white played losing moves that it didn't play in the other 27%, so you create an opening book and forbid the engine to play those losing moves. What statistics do you get now?
Well, you might also find that in those 27% of games black didn't play winning moves available.

If 1.g4 is losing it's interesting to ponder if openings like Benoni or Mar del Plata King's Indian variation are losing as well. If you play around a bit you get around 65% for white in those. Not quite as bad as 1.g4 but in the "maybe theoretically losing" ballpark in my view.
Lc0 (Network 384x30-t40-1573) with 100M nodes has 2. h3 as the top choice following 1. g4 d5. It considers 2. g5 to be second best, though with the smallest probability of losing, at just 56.4%.

If 1.g4 is losing it's interesting to ponder if openings like Benoni or Mar del Plata King's Indian variation are losing as well. If you play around a bit you get around 65% for white in those. Not quite as bad as 1.g4 but in the "maybe theoretically losing" ballpark in my view.
Lc0 (Network 384x30-t40-1573) with 100M nodes has 2. h3 as the top choice following 1. g4 d5. It considers 2. g5 to be second best, though with the smallest probability of losing, at just 56.4%.

If 1.g4 is losing it's interesting to ponder if openings like Benoni or Mar del Plata King's Indian variation are losing as well. If you play around a bit you get around 65% for white in those. Not quite as bad as 1.g4 but in the "maybe theoretically losing" ballpark in my view.
Lc0 (Network 384x30-t40-1573) with 100M nodes has 2. h3 as the top choice following 1. g4 d5. It considers 2. g5 to be second best, though with the smallest probability of losing, at just 56.4%.

Re: 1.g4 opening is losing?

Post by Spliffjiffer »

in my around 3 hours research Bluefish had the same output until 3...e5 as its best line...not sure anymore whether 4.d3 was considered as best but i dont think so, if i remember well it was 4.Bg2 but i really dont know anymore...the difference in terms of evaluation to 2.g5 was really tiny though...
2.e3 made the biggest steps from worse to good within this 3 hours of search btw...if i remember well at around 2:30 hours 2.e3 was even considered best but that had already turned again when i abborted the search after 3 hours

So, does anybody feel like trying to defend 1.g4 against my main attack? Looks like I was the only one crazy enough around here to to try to defend it!
