(Rhetorical) Revert in Stockfish Developmental Builds

Post by CornfedForever »

How many times to we have to see 'revert' in the info in the builds before the Stockfish programmers have to admit they are not sort of just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks at this point?

I mean...it's reasonable enough to get results, so one can't complain... but sometimes we need to call it what it is. Hey, it worked for Jackson Pollock. More power to the Pollock's of chess engine tweakers!

Again...totally rhetorical...just gotta think it outloud sometimes.

NNUE programming is trial on error.

Try everything.
90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.
