Hi Brian,
Thanks for sharing your genuinely interesting result. One question though: why
would you train on a non-"zero" program? Do you think your program as a result
of your rules would perform better
t is not a “zero” program, so I don’t mind ad hoc rules like

It might make sense to enable resignation threshold even on stupid level. As

Brian, do you have any experiments showing what kind of impact it has? It
sounds like you have tried both with and without your ad hoc first pass
approach?

I have concluded that AGZ's policy of resigning "lost" games early is somewhat
significant. Not as significant as using residual networks, for sure, but you
wouldn't want to go without these advantages.
The benefit cited in the paper is speed. Certainly a factor. I see two other
advantages.
