Thanks Sylwy for the tournament! At least, at this stage, there are some draws

Now a victory. And a few more heart attack-style misses. Superb result of the experiment. I can't wait for the sequel.



Example of a clear missed victory. And she is not alone.

I trained the network(s) with only 81 million positions: adding more samples and adjusting the architecture should help to improve the strength. I wonder if training a network to predict not only the next move but a sequence of moves might help with such blunders. There's a lot to try/test!

....there was an indescribable rush of young people to sign up for this test-tournament....I also had to do some tests....
....young talents from all over the world flocked to test the new (and revolutionary) architecture of a chess engine....



I can't wait for a new version to appear!

According to the current results, I'm far from having revolutionised anything!

The world (please, not all) revolves around Elo points. I really appreciate a nice move. Chess is also art...Moreover, Nostradamus is...something else...a trailblazer. I'm not wrong. Classical architecture has somewhat exhausted its potential.

Sounds absolutely right. Why play the banal, simple best winning move when you can choose dozens of more artistic and losing ones?

Any news on the tournament with Dog? Do you have an end-result? Am very eager to know

I am dedicating this weekend to art and young talents....since Monday I have been working hard with LazySMPTest (where the new Amy 0.9.6 will also be). Unfortunately, I only have one PC dedicated to chess.

LazySMP Test after 2142 games:
===========================

LazySMP 8.0 does not perform very well, so it was replaced with Amy 0.9.6 (marked in green - a great engine). Dog 2.5c (marked in blue) continues its way to the podium.



Maybe (maybe ) I will add two more chess engines.

CHRISTMAS EXPERIMENT after 496 games:
===================================



At the moment LazzySMP Test has priority.
