Life In 19x19

Like some other people, I thought the 40 block weight was very slow and was weaker in the games of equal think time. However, after the recent training, the new weight #181 becomes strong even in equal think time as appeared in this 3 handicap game with Leela 0.11. The time setting for the game was 15 sec per move and the 40b run 700 playouts per move. The #181 showed its capability to handle huge dragons not seen with previous network. In the game it killed a dragon nearly as big as half of the board.


The #181 also got a win of an even game with #157 with same time setting. The win also involves capture race with huge dragons.
