Leela Zero Wins TCEC 15
Saturday, June 1, 2019 at 11:45AM
The neural nets are here to stay! Leela Chess Zero is following in Alpha Zero's footsteps, and like its great predecessor has also graduated from "Stockfish Academy". Lc0 defeated Stockfish 53.5-46.5 in the Superfinal to win TCEC 15, getting revenge for its very narrow loss (50.5-49.5) in Season 14.
Congrats to the Lc0 team! There are other neural net programs coming, including AllieStein, so soon TCEC will probably need to bifurcate into conventional and neural net divisions. Or will Team Stockfish prove me wrong?
