Longest against Leela

[smcracraft]

While I am quite fond of its slow positional style, I am not too happy with its ability to aggressively
attack after gaining both significant positional and material advantage.

It leads to a somewhat boring game generally speaking.

I continue to think that the descendent will re-emphasize the attacking spirit more forcefully.

That's because the goal in training is the score in many games. Maybe a combination of score and shorter games as a goal might give a more enjoyable engine. In Go it's similar and even simpler, just change the score in games as a goal to territory at the end of the games as a goal. I guess in Go, some hilarious nets can be built which regularly beat top humans by 20-50 points."Humiliators" .
