SPCC: Testrun of Minic 3.06 nocturnal_nadir finished

Post by pohl4711 »

AB-testrun of Minic 3.06 with nocturnal_nadir net finished. Very disappointing: -113 Elo to Minic 2.51... Before anybody asks: I used the "-debug" option of cutechess-cli, to verify, that Minic 3.06 found and loaded the nnue-net (it did so!) in my testrun.

This is perfectly normal and not disappointing at all !

Minic2.51NNUE + "nascent nutrient" was based on SF net architecture and code, and I disliked that (http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.p ... c3#p870536).

Since Minic 3, I'm using a Seer like architecture and it is more and more strong.

Here, Minic3.06 + "nocturnal nadir" being "only" 113Elo behind "nascent nutrient" is quite cool already ! ("noisy notch", my previous net was more like 160 Elo behind "nascent nutrient")

Thanks a lot for testing.

OK, I wasnt aware of that. Then the result is not so weird, as I presumed.
