What's New?

  • General game playing (with some reasonable success in ataxx).
  • Search tree's memory usage now constrained by the Hash UCI option, this means you can now run at any time control without fear!
  • Started networks from scratch, meaning monty's data is now fully-original!
  • No longer uses Quiescence Search for value, meaning monty is now truly separate from alpha-beta engines!

ELO Gains

Most of the time on this release was spent catching up with the previous version, attempting to compete with external data and qsearch is quite difficult. The current result is that this version's policy network is far superior, whilst the value still lacks somewhat behind.

FRC

Thanks to generating a small amount of FRC data, the gains here are quite large.

Standard

Moderate gains, it is unclear how these will scale to VVLTC due to the weaker value network.

Elo   | 45.24 +- 18.69 (95%)
