Just because I asked for a 6 men EGTB knowing that it only required a 5 men EGTB, does NOT mean that I thought that a 6 men EGTB will give any different result than a 5 men EGTB for a position that only has 5 pieces. So why did you ask then? The rest of your explanation doesn't make any sense becau...

The real reason was MS moving headquarters so that Munich would get more money. That is just your assumption/conjecture. The articles I remember at that time didn't mention this at all, but instead exclusively quoted bad experiences of end-users as a main reason to switch back. That is a problem in...

I am not sure that no amount of human intervention can score a win against SF on decent hardware on ICCF TC(maybe some human intervention can score a win in 1 out of 20 games) No amount of human intervention can score a win against SF on decent hardware on ICCF TC ever . Regular ICCF standard TC is...

My chess analysis was running slow. So I looked at what processes in memory were doing. There was this thing: Compattelrunner.Exe It was using 17% of my compute power, and my chess task which should be at 95% was struggling. Apparently, it is MS Windows spy process that you cannot turn off. So I fo...

1)Chess machines are equal to human+machines in playing correspondence chess 2)Chess machine are equal to union of humans+chess machines in developing better chess engines. 3)Chess machines are equal to union of humans+chess machines in teaching humans to play chess better in OTB chess. I think tha...

Believing that there is some magical advantage of ARM architecture compared to x86 is pure BS. Architecturally I believe AMD's design is much more advanced. If they were on the same process node they'd be far superior in terms of processing power/W that today is probably equal. why bs? 2x more regs...

Many claims about the superiority of the M1's as a CPU are exaggerated. I argued earlier how the power efficiency comparisons with desktop x86 CPUs are highly misleading. I don't like apple either (from a dev's perspective), in general I don't like how the company behaves. but I'm really impressed ...

I have boxes of GPU cards and machines I could put them into. I have had lots of friends tell me that I should mine crypto-currency. Indeed, I could probably make thousands of dollars per month doing so. Nope. To offset the cost of electricity you burn you need a card with at least 6GB of DDR5 memo...

GPUs are also getting more powerful. Every 6 months or so, there will be a new crop, much more powerful than the previous. I think the real problem with the LC0 approach right now is the miners who are hoarding the GPU cards. It ramps up the price to sky-high and makes it hard for people to get the...
