If I understand it correctly, https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/commit/c8902fd6b70d13e3bf3f29fcd36c2e846a122411 means that you can now just press "rematch" against any of the leela odds bots, and it won't change your colors. Small thing, but it makes the user experience much better.

@gmmds Matthew Sadler has brought LeelaKnightOdd to my attention. It's really amazing how Leela smashes its opponents time and again.

About 10 years ago I wrote an article about how chess engines work.

I figured it would be cool to fresh it up a little bit and translate it to English, so yea, I did just that :)

How do chess engines work? | Ălf's Ɓrain Ċache

A chess engine is just computer program written by humans and this is how they do it.

Is anyone out there running Leela Chess Zero on a non-Nvidia GPU?

Desconfio que o #lc0 está usando a CPU e não a placa de vídeo. É um dos três melhores motores de #xadrez do mundo, mas aqui está perdendo feio até para a fruit. Tudo bem que minha placa é só uma GTX 1650, mas continuo achando que há algum problema de configuração. Aliás, a maia engine também não está funcionando bem, a maia1500 está vencendo a maia1900 🤡. E sempre com o mesmo jogo. A documentação é ruim, não consigo adicionar aleatoriedade, as engines fazem sempre os mesmos lances.

I am one month late, but the release post of Stockfish 16 is really heartwarming:
"In major chess engine tournaments, Stockfish reliably tops the rankings winning [7] competitions. Leela Chess Zero was the challenger in most finals, putting top-engine chess now firmly in the hands of teams embracing free and open-source software."

Or how the Stockfish and Leela Chess Zero teams collaborate to build the two strongest chess engines out there 👑👑
