Does anyone have any news about the speed of Lc0 in the new Intel GPU's? Pathetic is the answer you are looking for. Unless your GPU is GTX 1030 or something from an early last decade. Than CPU performance might be in the same order of magnitude (but still slower). Is that because they dont have te...

On a tangent, it's a shame the Japanese Chu-Shogi players never invented a mnemonic pieceset like HGM's.
Maybe it would have never died out.

it seems like NNUE uses the normal Stockfish calculation to look several moves deep and then uses a neural net type evaluation instead of a static evaluation (do correct me if I am wrong here). This gives it a clear edge over normal Stockfish, since it effectively gets a few more moves of 'free' de...

Looks like Stockfish 13 would have also played b7-b5 until depth 19. (2 million nodes)

But even weaker engine seem to find it after a few seconds.
So not a very hard position, but one that will induce blunders at low tc.

Comparing nodes 1:1 between two engines is also false. As it stands, SFdev is the strongest entity for a Pentium II (Or any CPU with MMX or better), and that's a CPU from 1997. SF-HC would be the strongest on the older 32 bit CPUs. (going back all the way to 1985) On an i386 SF11 should still be abl...

Mike, a few thoughts 1) There’s not a lot of benefit to d11 at this stage. I’d just go with d6 or d8 until your net has figured out piece values. 2) generate 1b positions per generation. More is better. 3) start with lambda 0.0 (all result) and gradually add more eval. Not sure how fast to turn the...

I have a question. What is the difference between -tb PATHS and -tbpieces N. https://github.com/cutechess/cutechess/blob/master/projects/cli/res/doc/help.txt#L101 -tb PATHS Adjudicate games using Syzygy tablebases. PATHS should be semicolon-delimited list of paths to the compressed tablebase files....

Or maybe hybrid eval gets called more with more cores.

I think for a while, everyone thought that chess engine progress will improve ... but it will improve mostly due to the improvement in hardware running bean counter engines. Rybka changed that thinking and it made clear that the software side of chess engines is where the major gain in ELO would co...

Aren't the repetition rules for Janggi really complicated (or even subjective in nature)?
How are those coded?
