Just came across an interesting discussion on LC0 playing with low nodes
values. Seems like it makes a lot of sense to be able to lower the
number of nodes below 1000.
Number of nodes needed to LC0 reach an average human play level

Thank you very much. Now it really goes nodes 1 :) And that made it
possible to make some interesting experiences.
I played a bit against Stockfish 14 (without neural network) using low
nodes values. Even with nodes 1 Stockfish was able to beat me (me, a
player about 1200). But what was funny, he beat me, but wasn't able to
mate me, having a queen :) To be able to mate me, I needed to give
stockfish 3000 nodes. 2000 was not enough.
Now it was time to give maia 1100 a try, with nodes 1. I only wanted
to know if it can mate me with a queen. It started very wisely,
pushing my king to the edge. Now something funny happened. It produced
a stalemate! You can't expect it from any other engine :) In the next
try it correctly mated me. So it seems to be what it is told: plays
and blunders like a human.
Cheers

Hmmm - probably that will get updated/changed sometime.
But for the moment just change the *1000 to *1 in this line in
scid.gui or tcl/tools/sergame.tcl
set ::sergame::fixednodes [expr
[.configSerGameWin.ftime.nodesvalue get]*1000]

Hello!
I found a great chess engine, maia. It's goal is not to play best
chess, bo to play as humans do. So I'm trying to put it into scid
vs pc. There is a guide here
<https://github.com/CSSLab/maia-chess#how-to-run-maia>.
All goes well. I downloaded lc0, configured it as an engine. Put
the gz file that makes it actually maia. But the problem is here:
/go nodes 1/
is the way I should configure the engine. However when I start
playing against maia, I can only choose nodes 1x1000! And in
engine logs it is confirmed as "go nodes 1000".
So, how can we play with maia?
Best Regards
Jarek
