Yet another game analysis method

Post by Ferdy »

This method involves 2 analyzing engines, Lc0 and Sf10. In the opening and early middle phases Lc0 will take charge on the analysis. The rest will be done by Sf.

Code: Select all

Q=9, R=5, B=N=3, P=1
piece_value = 9*(wq+bq) + 5*(wr+br) + 3*(wb+wn+bb+bn)
pawn_value = wp+bp
if piece_value >= 50 and pawn_value >= 12 then use Lc0 othewise Sf.
Analysis features:
1. Light descriptive comments, i.e "better is" etc.
2. Variations are generated by actual game playout up to 5 plies.
3. 2 analysis engines

Pick one of the best games of Kramnik (retiring from chess).

Analysis settings:
1. 10s/pos
2. Threads = 1
3. Hash = 256
4. Intel i7 3.4 Ghz
5. Engine1: Lc0 v0.21.1, backend: blas, WeightsFile: 11258-120x9-se.pb.gz, SmartPruningFactor: 0
6. Engine2: Stockfish 10 64 POPCNT



Impressive Lc0's opening analysis even on this slow backend.

Another game is a bit tactical. A human vs machine.

Hi Ferdy!

Is this built an extension of the Nucleus analysis tool or Chess Artist ? :)

I already have sf and lco combo where sf will handle the ending. It is not in Nucleus and not in Aiquiri either, not released. For chess artist, I might include this feature.

Is there a Windows executable for Chess Artist? Thanks!

Might be the perfect opportunity to upgrade to python3 and the latest version of python-chess, letting it deal with the uci communication (chess-artist doesn’t know what to make of lc0 at the moment).
Fat Titz by Stockfish, the engine with the bodaciously big net. Remember: size matters. If you want to learn more about this engine just google for "Fat Titz".

Been rewriting CA but at slower pace, using more python-chess.
The released exe file can be used to annotate using Lc0.

Command line:

Code: Select all

chess-artist -infile chusa19.pgn -outfile out_chusa19.pgn -eng C:\engines\lc0-v0.21.1-blas\lc0.exe -engoptions "Threads value 1, SmartPruningFactor value 0" -eval search -movetime 1000 -movestart 10

This kind of thing is really useful to people who want to learn and improve.
An engine that is 5% stronger, but nobody understands the moves? No revolution there.
Something that explains the good and bad moves?
Genius in action.

And all the things you make are useful. I praise you sincerely for your efforts.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
