Wow … new generation 64 core CPU at less than $1800 … that is getting very interesting. Should be able to put together a very nice system for less than $3500. Many new technologies coming on that are making me look towards upgrading my 8 core CPU system. New version of USB, faster memory … faster SS...

If you look at the games that LC0 was beating SF impressively … they all seemed to take advantage of a few holes in SF evaluation. Obviously SF could see that and with enough data from lost games SF was able to plug up the weaknesses. This probably exaggerated the appearance of Lc0 being a much stro...

Wow ... very nice game indeed !!!

I am not sure what you mean. Are you trying to tell me that NN engines will not play or suggest a move that is stronger than SF? If so then I think you missed the zillion games already published where SF loses to Alpha Zero or Lc0 or other NN engines ... check YouTube there are hundreds if not thou...

One thing I learned when building my own computers ... if you want to go for the latest and greatest ... get ready to work out problems. Your BIOS will need to be updated, you might get problems with compatibility with some peripherals ... so expect a lot of firmware upgrades. Now add overclocking t...

I totally disagree. I think with NN engines there are some moves that AB engines simply don't see or won't play. Don't just disagree abstractly. Please try to give examples of some best moves that NN engines see that AB engines don't. There have been many potential examples looked at in this forum,...

Forget about the thread title for now. (And yours is a charitable view of what the point of the article was. The article makes it sound like one NN is special, when the truth is it doesn't give anything good that other NNs can't give.) My point is that we've seen in this forum repeatedly that NN en...

I think he was trying to point out that even with a weak laptop GPU, the NN engine was able to find a move that the AB engine with strong hardware did not see. But that point isn't valid if the move it "finds" is weaker, as the posts above suggest. We've seen this issue before. I really haven't ana...

I think he was trying to point out that even with a weak laptop GPU, the NN engine was able to find a move that the AB engine with strong hardware did not see. The point being that when analyzing a game or a certain move, an NN engine might find moves that even the strongest AB can't,thus giving the...

Why not simply allow only white to castle? This forces white to attack and black to defend. If black survives and draws he deserves to be given a win!
