AlphaZero - Stockfish game 3

Post by Jouni »

SF played -Rf8 losing immediately. My SF thinks it's 10. best move:

[D]4r1kq/p2prp1p/5RpP/2p5/7Q/1B4P1/P4PK1/8 b - - 0 1

Why hasn't DeepMind published anything new in their home page about possible "breakthrough" ??

Demis Hassabis mentioned on his twitter that they will publish the full paper soon. The paper they published was pretty much just a preprint. I guess that they will have additional inforation about A0 on their homePage when they release the full paper

You are correct, 49...Kf8 seems to hold and is just roughly equal,
while 49.Rf8? is -10.29 in eval. Strange play by SF8 with 49...Rf8 when it
was even said to be on 64 cores. Thanks for the top 10 PV on this position.

Yeah, if SF8 is just dumped in this position, on my machine (using just 1 core) it consistently sticks with Rf8 at 0.00 until d35 (takes about 30 seconds on my machine) across a bunch of runs.

However, if I let it play from a couple moves back, so the hash is populated when it arrives at this position, it sticks with Rf8 for MUCH longer.

It then stuck with Rf8 at 0.00 until after 5 billion nodes, finally switching to Kf8 after 53 minutes.

I'm going to play around on some of my other machines once I have access to them again, but after requiring 53 minutes to switch from Rf8 on a single core, it's not at all unlikely that a given run on 64 threads with 1 minute to think could have stuck with Rf8.

I am quite sure that even 1300 rated player can realize that this position is hopeless for black. Why do you think that Kf8 can hold /draw??

ok, im not asked but i analysed the pos quite deeply some days ago and came to the conclusion that 49...kf8 draws (instead of 49...rf8)...besides that, thanks for clarifying that SF8 has big problems with avoiding 49..rf8....SF.dev has no longer problems with that issue...good news :-))

If anybody has an idea why Sf8 does not see this, please post that would be helpful. Of course we can go through all the commits since then, one by one, but at the moment I have no idea :?

Stockfish 8 is from Nov 1 2016 and this later version does not have the same problem anymore (assuming I did not change anything from the default but I think this is the default 2017 Jan 5th Stock):

Probably this patch from December 12th clears it up, but I have not checked that: Threefold repetition detection

Yeah, even SF8 doesn't have too hard of a time finding the win after Rf8 is played if you just start the engine on that position (finds it at iteration 38 just like in your posted example).

Of course, as I pointed out previously, it also doesn't have too hard of a time avoiding Rf8 if you just start it immediately on that position.

The big problem seems to be if you approach the position from a few moves back (I did a couple minutes per move) so that the hash is already populated when you get there. Then it takes much, much longer to get over Rf8 (well, to be fair, it took much, much longer the one time I ran that test; it just took so long I haven't tried reproducing it yet, but I will eventually).

This move by SF8 was obviously caused by buggy repetion code. I got it sometimes:

Analysis by Stockfish 8 64 BMI2:

49...Rf8 50.Qf4 a6 51.Qf3 d6 52.Bxf7+ Rexf7 53.Rxf7 Rxf7 54.Qa8+ Rf8 55.Qd5+ Rf7 56.Qa8+
= (0.00) Depth: 43/34 00:00:07 63337kN, tb=16441

SFDev is bettered in this now. Another reason to use latest version!
