policy network

[BertTuyt]

With the policy network developed I asked Codex to optimize the LMR in relation to the policy output, in such a way that at least the number of nodes and/or time was reduced with 50%.

Codex did several experiments, the total time spent by Codex was around 1 hour.
I also asked Codex to write a report in the end.
All code changes were also implemented by the AI in an experimental version of the Damage engine (version 18.4).

I did not have time to study the extensive report in detail, see attached.

As a proof of the pudding a 158 games DXP match was played against KR, settings no book, 6p DB, 1 core, and 80 moves for 1 minute.
Match result 158 draws. See also attached file.

This result is not yet optimized, but as I believe we have reached a ceiling I don't expect there is much ELO to gain.
