Yes? So? Are The White Rose, Night Nurse, Dark Horse or Toga net all blatant clones of Stockfish? How come they don’t play like one another or SF? (See the SIMEX of a few months ago.)

You edited the history of the quotes to remove the question I asked you. Is that against the charter and bannable?dkappe wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 1:40 amSo, you are answering the original question?

You just manipulated the thread history to make it look like I was condemning you for training networks and calling them illegal. That is a serious offensive Dkappe. I'm asking that the moderating staff step in here and remove the post with modified history that alleges I said DKappe's Networks were invalid.
Here is the maniulated history that Dkappe posted:

Re: Why I stood up for Allie is why I stand up for FF2
I'll bite. You want to know whether your shitty nets + SF count as clones of Stockfish? I'd say that they aren't even clones. Kinda like how some theories in physics are not even wrong.dkappe wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 11:36 pmYes? So? Are The White Rose, Night Nurse, Dark Horse or Toga net all blatant clones of Stockfish?

He claims that making judgments based on Fire 8's source code (and of Fire 4/Seagull's source code) is of shoddy quality.

Also, if you'd bothered to read and comprehend the linked thread re: Fire one of the points that was made was that Fire had closer SIMEX scores than Stockfish did to itself from version to version. So if you're whole point is that your crappy nets + SF have more divergence than Fire to SF, well, all the more damning to Fire as your crappy nets + SF are clearly not even clones. Your nets are just a regression.

Good lord, Andy. OK. Are those nets stockfish clones? Stop dodging.

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".

Re: Why I stood up for Allie is why I stand up for FF2
Regression? Are you implying that my nets are based on the stockfish nets? That requires some proof.
Let me guess, you’ve never actually tested any of them, have you?

Re: Why I stood up for Allie is why I stand up for FF2
In honor of you dkappe, I've gone ahead and tried very hard to make a similar shitty regression to SF. Here is my 5 minutes worth of work:
https://github.com/manyoso/Stockfish/tr ... regression
As you can see I've taken SF 13 and disabled LMR, Futility move pruning, Null move pruning, Extensions, Singular ext, and Probcut. I'm sure it is quite shitty. See: like your crap I'd call my shitty regression not even a clone. I'm pretty sure it would have a different SIMEX score to SF too.

Re: Why I stood up for Allie is why I stand up for FF2
Like I said, not even a clone. Just regressions. Hell, not even regressions unless you try and use them with an engine like SF. They can't even play chess! Maybe find another hobby dkappe. Even my shitty regression that I put together in less than 5 min can play chess LOL.dkappe wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 3:29 amGood one!

Re: Why I stood up for Allie is why I stand up for FF2
Hey dkappe, now that I've answered your stupid question apropos of nothing ... Big yes or no question of the day for you: Is Houdini a Stockfish fork/clone/derivative? Yes or No.

Re: Why I stood up for Allie is why I stand up for FF2
No idea. Big questions for you: by calling them regressions are you claiming my nets are derived from stockfish nets? Also, have you bothered testing any of my “shitty” nets?gonzochess75 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 3:57 am Hey dkappe, now that I've answered your stupid question apropos of nothing ...
