Curious, what are Benjamin's ES2/ES3 settings (if you're willing to share)? Most of the changes in Benjamin.eng file are common for the ES, ES2, and ES3 versions: [Pawn Value = 117] (default = 100) [Knight Value = 125] (def = 100) [Bishop Value = 125] (def = 100) [Rook Value = 124] (def = 100) [Que...

Thanks, that's interesting. This net's posted date is Dec 2, 2020, so it's not that old - newer than the default SF net, in fact(!)

Hi,
Curious, what are Benjamin's ES2/ES3 settings (if you're willing to share)?
Thanks!

Always buy when they have the 25% off semi-annual one-day sales (in spring/fall). The CB 16 upgrade was no more than $80.

Contempt could be useful to the Tal personality, especially if the user chooses to turn NNUE off, since it can benefit from 'optimism' and draw-avoidance by its very nature. This would also apply to analysis done by the Tal personality.

I can attest that Harmon plays a really fine brand of chess for a NNUE net. I'll post one of its amazing wins when I have time. :) To illustrate what Harmon's capable of, I'm posting an entertaining and adventurous game. First, here's an amusing diagram from this game: [D]4N2r/pp6/6k1/2p1N3/NP3p2/2...

Hi Master Om,
I'm curious, which net are you using with the Nodchip SF of 20/07/19?
I find it intriguing that the older nets could still be better at analysis.
Thanks!

It's surely nice to now have engines that can thoroughly punish such passive play.

Did you purchase FF2 separately? I bought Fritz 17 (which came with FF1) back in 2019 and have updated it, but I see no FF2 in there.
