Search Trees Visualized:

An excellent search trees visualized graphic of 40xxx nets,  49xxx nets and 60xxx nets as well.  Loved the graphics, so had to re-share.  Originally posted by (and I believe created by) Jussi Kormu.

Special thanks to Dietrich Kappe for his hard work on special purpose Leela networks!
Sparring partners trained from a mix of SF and human games which work on CPU/GPU (read more here).
  • Bad Gyal 1. This is a 20k step version.
  • Bad Gyal 2. This is the full 200k step version with 3 LR drops.
  • Bad Gyal 128x10 A 128x10 version of Bad Gyal 2. My target is 48x5, so I'm unlikely to make very many of these.
  • Bad Gyal 3 This time 64x6 to avoid blas issues. Hopefully endgame and bad moves in imbalanced positions have been resolved.
  • Bad Gyal 4 128x10. Ignore this net. Endgame data was bad.
  • Bad Gyal 4a 128x10. Rerun without the faulty endgame data. Probably the strongest tactical net (including T40, LD2, etc.).
  • Bad Gyal 5 128x10. 1.3M games. q-ratio 0.5.
  • Good Gyal 5 48x5, trained on the same data as Bad Gyal 5, but at a q-ratio of 0.75. MiniHuman on lichess updated to use this net.
  • Evil Gyal 6 48x5, q-ratio 0.25, 2M games.

Specialized networks created by Jhorthos using experimental training have produced many notably strong (and hardware intensive) networks.  
His excellent work includes the (in)famous Terminator (J13-390, 320x24 block net trained on games from T40) among others
Recently the T40B.1-106 experimental network has topped even the best (and last) of the T40 run, 42850.
It is currently considered the strongest Leela net ever produced.  

Big thanks to Jhorthos who has been a leader in contributions to our Leela community project!

More Chess NNs:
  • Leelafish (Killerducky's A modified version of the Lc0 engine that gets help from AuxEngine, a SF10 mod, which boosts the Policy of Lc0.  Leela's search & position /evals runs the same.)
    • Leelafish is my favorite engine for Analysis in Fritz 16.  I use the recent Stockfish version and 42850 net for out of this world analysis!  IMHO the #1 preparation/analysis engine.  Amazing.  
  • LeelaChessZero (99% of you have Lc0 already, but here is the official repository with updated version releases)
  • Antifish (Cscuile's non-zero NN project trained to beat SF, designed to exploit SF's weaknesses with hopes of improving stockfish.)
  • ScorpioNN (Dshawul's MCTS+NN, some technical skill required for setup)
  • Allie (GonzoChess75's Minimax+monte carlo hybrid search NN.  Compatible with Sygyzy bases and Chess 960.  Also works with Leela Nets.  Played in TCEC S15) 
  • Alliestein (combination of Allie + Leelenstein.  If you know of the download location please share it with everyone here)
Know of other great chess NNs?  Share the links!

I have fallen in love with Leela  :=) and have been following her since her birth.
My blog entries with label Leela belong surely not to the best Leela links, but they are original  and contain many links to chess, AI and other related topics.
Browse a little and sorry for my house advertising!
