Hi Rémi, Thanks for your comments! I am not using any komi and had not given much thought to it. Although, I suppose by having black win most games, I'm depriving the network of its only learning signal. I will have to try with an appropriately set komi next... >When I started to develop the

Hi All, I wanted to share an update to a post I wrote last year about using the AlphaGo Zero algorithm on small boards (7x7). I train for approximately 2 months on a single desktop PC with 2 GPU cards. In the article I was getting mediocre performance from the networks. Now, I've found that
