  • lc0

    The rewritten engine, originally for tensorflow. Now all other backends have been ported here.

  • Sorry, I should've said it in a more clear way. The feature isn't broken in general, but it wasn't intended to be used for randomizing move selection by policy value (normally it uses number of visits, if I understand correctly). This was changed in this PR so I don't think there's any issue that needs to be reported.

  • Hi. I'm a beginner chess player with a lot of anxiety when it comes to playing against real opponents. After discovering Maia bots on lichess, I became very interested in the technology behind them, I think it has a huge potential as a teaching tool and a great option when playing other people is not convenient.
