Re: AlphaZero: The 10 Top Shots
It's unimportant if az has search, NN or masturbates to find the move. It can even watch out the stars in the sky . Stockfish had no idea how to find a way out of the mud, AZ pulled stockfish in. (I remember a time when Chess System Tal did the same strategy with genius, fritz, Mchess. This was ver...

Re: Dear Google AlphaZero chess team.
Suppose that DeepMind created another Neural Network that was responsible to manage time in time control games, it would play random games against itself, and soon learn that too much time used would lose on time. Then it would learn that playing too fast dramatically decreases the strength of its ...

Re: SF was more seriously handicapped than I thought
Forget about ELO calculations for a moment, did you see the QUALITY of the games ? I didn't expect such a Post from you. Anyway, you've made Milos and Tsvetkov very happy. A stronger Stockfish wouldn't have changed anything because its problems are at the core of its approach , the whole point was ...

Re: SF was more seriously handicapped than I thought
Forgot to mention that in the first match, SF was with 1MB hash, in the second, 128MB hash (close to optimal). makes you wonder why was DeepMind in such a hurry ... they could have taken a little bit more time ... beefed up a0 a little more ... and then gave Stockfish optimal conditions ... with th...

Re: Stockfish and Fischer
I will post this here, as it has some relevance to computer chess and human-engine competition. After doing an extensive study of the Fischer game collection, with the help of Stockfish, I just published a book on the theme: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078NSTR3K/ref=s9_acsd_newrz_hd_bw_b194_...

Re: David Silver (Deepmind) inaccuracies
Maybe in the future someone will invent a NN system with the capability of explaining in details it's decisions, we will have to wait. I would imagine ... when someone does ... the 'explanaton' would look like chaos and/or randomness ... if that is so ... what does that say about intelligence ... h...

Re: Incredible Stockfish Patch
Once Brainfish and the Cerebellum Library (not yet released) is available for purchase then we can make our own learning library. Thanks for your support. You are right, Cerebellum and the Sirius Gui will be published. The delay is due to a lack of time , but currently I'm working on the project. I...

Re: AlphaWhat?
I suggest a return match with SF being the home team. Conditions: - Alpha plays on 1 GPU - a version of Alpha with no opening knowledge takes part - TC using increment - adapted SF plays on 2048 cores, but maybe 8192 is better - huge HT for SF - SF has the right of repeating the same winning openin...

Re: AlphaWhat?
In a few hours A0 was superior to an engine developed for many years by humans. That's the point most people miss (or choose to ignore ?) and go on harping about TCs and Hardware and the like. Also, the STYLE of play was simply amazing. Stockfish has been beaten many times by Komodo/Houdini, nothin...
