Spokesperson answered that Stockfish need modern 4-core PC to beat top humans.
Ain't 1-core ARM CPU enough?

A lot of other parameters have to be knows to answer :yurikvelo wrote:Spokesperson answered that Stockfish need modern 4-core PC to beat top humans.

What's the opening book ?
Does the engine have close positions detection ?
What time control ?
Do we talk about top 5 or top 100 humans ?

More : 2 important questions : Does the human can train against the same engine before the match ? Does the human have access to the opening book before the match ?yurikvelo wrote:Are they really matter?Vinvin wrote:A lot of other parameters have to be knows to answer :

And what does he means by "to beat" ?yurikvelo wrote:Spokesperson answered that Stockfish need modern 4-core PC to beat top humans.

1 win in 100 games ?
100 wins in 100 games ?
51 wins in 100 games ?

Does the engine make some randomization to chose its move or does he compute the same "best" move in all positions ?Vinvin wrote:More : 2 important questions : Does the human can train against the same engine before the match ?

I don't think that's what he said. He said a modern 4-core computer was enough to beat a human, but he didn't say it was necessary.yurikvelo wrote:Spokesperson answered that Stockfish need modern 4-core PC to beat top humans.
Deasil is the right way to go.

Re: Video : How do modern chess engines work ?
I don't understand worst move observation.
Counter example: If I do many bad moves but my opponent plays one or a few moves which are slightly worse then mine then I have the biggest chance of losing the game.

Re: Video : How do modern chess engines work ?
Ok, more precise question:
what is lowest kn/sec (benchmarked at starting position) for Stockfish-7 to beat any of TOP-5 human in standard WCC Final conditions (either modern 12-game, or "Capablanca London rules" - up to 6 wins)
- no syzygy
- no opening book
- ponder = on
- human can train against frozen code
