The release candidate of a new version of the Lc0 engine has been released.

v0.17.0-rc1

We expect to have a stable v0.17.0 release in one week, so that we can use it for CCCC. For now you can either help us to find bugs by trying the RC1, or use v0.16 for now.

Welcome to the new Leela Chess Zero blog! The old blog is gone, and here it is, new and fresh. We will write new posts here.

Two days before start of TCEC season 13, it was revealed that “DeusX engine” is just a set of NN weights trained by Albert Silver for the Lc0 engine.

The LCZero team had a very short period to analyze the situation and react to it, especially given that members of LCZero core dev team were in different timezones or on vacation, and given that even after the announcement it was not completely clear what the “DeusX engine” exactly was and which tools were used to produce the weights.
