Flits self-learning mode

Post by Sidiki » Tue May 12, 2020 13:55

Hi all,

For those who know it, Flits has a kind of manual self-learning option that permit to adjust his strenght.
I am working on , just add it to flits and you will see the strength.

Actually, the draw rate against Scan and Kingsrow it's around 99.99%. I haven't yet optimized it's for the 2 move ballots.

In all honesty, I'm totally not aware of a self-learning option in Flits, nor do I believe that Flits would be capable in a draw rate of 99.99% against the most recent versions of Scan and Kingsrow. This value implies at most 1 loss in a 3.move ballot.
My very short summary, totally impossible!

So hope you can provide more proof and details.

Hi Bert,

You are right, i abused with the words, it's why to be clear, i wrote "à kind of manual self-learning"

So this mean that this work it's done by un humain. I want to ask, i suppose that you have Flits, if it's the case, please, whitout the 2 moves or 3 ballots dxp system, in regular game, in 10 games what's the draw rate of Flits on your computer?

Also, i don't know if it's a bug, but when i run Flits in dxp mode in follower mode against a program by choosing start position, it close the dxp console.

Thank Bert.

I don't have Flits on my computer here. But I'm sure Ed has done several tests.
I assume that Flits is 30 - 50 ELO weaker compared with Kingsrow.
But Ed can confirm this.

It is pointless to speak of the draw rate in 10 games as the number of games is far too low. I played a quick match Maximus-Flits on my laptop, 100 games from the initial position (no ballots), 50/50 white/black, 75 moves in 1 minute. Flits using pondering, Maximus using 4 threads and no pondering. Results from Maximus' point of view: 19 wins, 1 loss, 77 draws, 3 unknown. No doubt Kingsrow will do better. Is this what you mean? (Games with more time will give more draws but Maximus can be set to use more threads and pondering.)

I played a quick match between kr_hub and flits_hub. Flits_hub is an engine that I got from Klaas Bor. Klaas has adapted Turbo Dambase to use Hub engines, and he wrote a Hub interface to Flits to use for testing. Don't ask me or Klaas for this, he did this as a favor to me, and with Adri V.'s permission, because I helped him interface TDam to kr_hub.

Results:

kr_hub 1.61 vers Flits_hub 3.1

total 0.757 score, 35 games, 18 wins, 0 losses, 17 draws, 0 unk
elo diff 197.5

Match control settings:
75 moves in 1 minute
GAYP start position

Kingsrow settings:
Search threads: 1
egdb: 8 pieces, 6000 mb cache
hashtable: 256 mb
pondering: off
opening book: on, best moves

Flits settings:
egdb: 6 pieces
hashtable: 256 mb
pondering: on

It is a pity that Adri Vermulen cannot repair the tip database for the program Flits. I wonder if Turbo Dambase also an error with the database tips in the program Flits.

Without any details of how the data is stored in the files, I don't know of any way to check it.
