I agree - I could have wrote it better - generally speaking, chess is a game of truth - you might one best move or several moves that are best - but every position has a best move or a a few best moves. NNUE net development is an attempt to get the truth for each position, there is no style in getting at the truth. Any diversion from getting at the truth , is no longer truth , it is fiction, meaning it is false, it is not the best move. Getting an engine to play with style -which may be possible - certainly humans play with style as they try to play for the best move - humans will tend to play with what has worked for them before - but it may not always be best move.Cornfed wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 4:09 pmMove on.MikeB wrote: ↑Mon Sep 07, 2020 3:51 pmCornfed wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:13 pmSo, you would seem to think that there is truly no 'style' in chess?MikeB wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 7:00 pm
It would not work well - I agree . Seems like a useless exercise anyway - since the point of using NN is to ge to the a more accurate of the truth and what they want, is an engine that plays a certain type of fiction with style. Good luck with that... - they can let me know how that out works for them ...

Did i say that? No I did not , you are reading the thread out of context and misinterpreted what i meant and perhaps i did not say it well enough. Anyway, I am moving on.
You were not clear so I simply asked.
The phrase "...what they want, is an engine that plays a certain type of fiction with style" Very opague....the a phrase 'type of fiction with style', is probably a phrase that has never been uttered in the history of mankind....that I am aware of.
Anyway, by saying "the point of using nn is to ge(t?) to a more accurate (more accurate what?) of the truth... was poorly written and just sounded like maybe you were trying to indicate 'style' was not possible, only 'the truth'...whatever that is.
Sorry....hope you can see now why as I asked that.
I deal with making engines play weaker all the time, it is hard to make them play weaker and have them playing at a lower level and have it not look artificial. Hence my comment , "good luck with that". I wish them well.
