Someone made a patch for lc0 v19.1 that switched nets at a certain piece count and changed cpuct, policy softmax and fpur at the same time. I don't think it's been ported to v20.x
Also, just released 11258-112x9-se. Best one yet.
Thanks very much for these networks.
I think a lot of chess engines use different searches for opening, middlegame and endgame.
Would be a good idea for Lc0 too and save the results in 3 different files. Perhaps in this scenario the engine is even faster with 1CPU and endgame training is possible.
Hi,
my current best ranked is LCzero TCEC 2023 using its 768x15 net.
Second best (close in ranking, roughly 35 Elo points below the above) is still the old (2019) Little Demon 2 combined with Little Ender using Eman Chimera (LD2 starts with 32 pieces, then LE plays when number of pieces decreases to 16 or less). The gain I observed using LE this way is around 24 Elo points compared to LD2 playing the whole game.
More recent nets I tested didn't prove much more efficient on CPU using backend BLAS - yet I did not experiment that much.
Happy to read suggestions!
