Impressive results for a top chess engine. It would be nice if Larry could give more details about the newly used NNUE net. In the preparation of this new net , I wonder if Lc0 games were also used .

My estimated elo gain for single thread blitz in the announcement was 72 elo; it is so far at 73 per CEGT, sorry for the one elo error in my forecast! Seriously, if we end up above Stockfish 13 in standard chess and above Stockfish 14 in FRC, my goals for the release will be met. To Answer your question, we trained primarily against Stockfish for this version, but only trained on Komodo's moves and scores, not Stockfish moves or scores. We did not train against Lc0 yet, but you can expect us to do so. We used some ideas from Stockfish, but changed them substantially and probably improved them. Of course we don't use Stockfish code at all. Dietrich Kappe is primarily responsible for training the nets, with Dmitry Pervov supplying the software he needs to train and run them, and with Mark Lefler providing substantial support. My main role is parameter tuning.
