Only real difference with rpe is the speed and the slightly better policy, otherwise I dont think it does much. There are also quantized bt4 but don't think the speed up was that great due to only a small part of the net being quantized

"If you still care, point him to <https://github.com/LeelaChessZero/lc0/b ... /search.cc> where all references to multipv are in the uci info output function."
:)
I mentioned ShashChess just because on its github- site the 256 positions of this one "my" often used suite (I wrote times and times again here and in other fora, how and out of which sources I collected it, in most of the positions the original sources, as far as I know them, are given e.g. in single .epd- string of each one position too) can be downloaded, just as one of the sources, to get it as a complete suite:

https://github.com/amchess/ShashChess/t ... s/2023-256

because Andrea Manzo uses it also, and you see my name mentioned on the site just because I recommended this one suite to him way back then and did some testing once in a while for him too.
Here

viewtopic.php?p=980708#p980708

I gave it latest in this one forum in .epd- format.

I don't claim the suite to be anything very special except it's a minimum of number of positions to be run automatically with certain hardware- TC fitting to a certain pool of engines as for a common level of "difficulty" (hardware- time necessary to get solved for correct reasons with a mimimum of happenstance), mimimum of number of positions and hardware- time as for statistical relevance of the results and error bars of single runs, especially if evaluated as a bigger number of runs engine (-setting) to engine and position to position as well as for solved- unsolved as for time indices with EloStatTS by Frank Schubert.

Again and again I also said it here and in other fora not to be compared as for the results to quite different other one suites (have really a bunch of those as well as single best move- ones as such with multiple solutions and to be used with tools like MEA and NICE, starting form 128 positions up to 2048, each one for certain tools, engines and hardware- TC) especially not with results out of game playing (which depend on pool of engines, hardware- TC and especially test positions of opening as well).

If you think, all this experience of mine with positional testing over the many years I do all this now (might be well over 30 years already, even if I only count the years, I then later on had started with automatically run suites and not all the years before and later on, I did and do evaluate engines, chess- positions, - moves, -variants and -games by their analysis- output at all :)), so if you think all these things "discredit me", as you write, it's ok for me. On the other hand, what discredits your opinions about such things to me mainly, is that you are not willing or able to have a look at output- lines of engines at all obviously to get information more than just the move- choice only.

So if you want to stick to eng-eng-game playing only to evaluate their performance chess- wise, it's fine for me, but why then all this discussion with me about things, you aren't interested in at all?
BTW, if you might not have already seen it, I had one more posting to the question of time to solution in MultiPV- mode and with single primary variant to the example of the Salai- position, I had already sent it before your one but latest answer to me, so yet read it still or leave it for good, I for my part and for the discussion with you, I'm outa here now, regards

Code: Select all

(I wrote times and times again here and in other fora, how and out of which sources I collected it, in most of the positions the original sources, as far as I know them, are given e.g. in single .epd- string of each one position too) can be downloaded, just as one of the sources, to get it as a complete suite:

How can I download this suite 2023-256 completely? I only see single files: .cbh, .cba, .cbh, .cbg etc.

You have to download all of them to have a complete cb- database then in the same directory collected for a for these (Fritz and cb- database)- GUIs readable database.

The much easier way is to download the .epd- files from the other one link in same posting you just answered to. In the older posting from this link you have all the .epd- strings in a code- window. There
CODE: SELECT ALL
- copy and paste into a new Editor- window, store as .epd- instead of .txt- file. In this one (.epd)- format you can easily get a .cbh- file out of it again by clicking the "Paste"- Icon in database- window in Fritz or cb, then submenu "Append EPD" and choose the file you created newly with name you gave it in .epd- format.

Why would you want anything from shashchess?
