in principle yes, but the training should be only with self-generated data, not with master games from outside. > Surely it would train much more quickly: all the early layers are about > learning liberty counting, atari and then life/death, good shape, etc. > (But, it would be fascinating if an experiment showed that wasn't the > case, and starting from a fresh random network trained more quickly!) Indeed. For these two options, I would like to know which one is the "true".
