Ceres ("Chess Engine for Research") is:
a state-of-the-art UCI-compliant chess engine employing the AlphaZero-style Monte Carlo Tree Search and deep neural networks
a flexible, modular and efficient software library with an exposed API to facilitate research in computer chess
a set of integrated tools for chess research (e.g for position analysis, suite testing, tournament manager)
The Ceres MCTS engine is a novel implementation written in C# for the Microsoft .NET 5 framework. This system comprises about 50,000 lines of source in 400 source code files, developed as a way to try to make something good come of COVID confinement. The underlying neural networks (and backend code to execute them) and backend code are currently mostly borrowed from the LeelaChessZero project via a "plug-in" architecture.
It is important to acknowledge that this project stands "on the shoulders of giants" - the pioneers in the field such as DeepMind with their AlphaZero project and the ongoing Leela Chess Zero project.
Although several fine open source implementations of MCTS engines are currently available, this project is hoped to provide four important benefits:
greatly reduce the current "CPU bottleneck" which prevents engines from full utilizing modern high-end GPU hardware
offer a comprehensive API for chess research, rather than a narrow focus on a UCI engine
offer an integrated set of tools (such as suite or tournament management) which simplify and accelerate testing of new research ideas
utilize a modern programming language with features such as automatic garbage collections and development environments that provide edit/compile/debug inner loops which are almost instantaneous.

Joza, I was worried. You haven't put videos for a few days. I'm happy to see new one. This is very odd game. I'm too tired to analyze it now, but this loss of the horse 🐴 in the end game is very strange. Also maybe it was preventable for the rook to come on b6. This one was a real pain in the backside of the dragon 🐲. Thank you for the explanation why to take on f3 with pawn and not bishop. Me, dummy, I would take with bishop, no questions asked. Surprised to hear this new engine crashed the dragon 🐉. Dragon is strong. Hope Fish 🐟 will still stay as the best. I admire the team behind it. Jozafish happy to see you back💙

I am not an chess engine expert too, but what I understand is that Ceres uses Lc0-nets. Furthermore, as far as I understand, Lc0-devs integrated Ceres somehow in their project. Now we have the following dilemma: under TCEC-conditions either Lc0 or Ceres can play, not both, and I do not think that Lc0-team will give up their project and Ceres needs a net. What I heard is that Ceres could use a Stein-net, but if it plays so strong with a Stein-net is questionable. This would possibly mean that AllieStein could be history then... Lc0 should be still better than Ceres, we should not forget these games are played with a shorter time control.

It is to be expected. The gap between SF, Lc0 and Dragon is massive. So expected that it will beat it badly since Ceres is just a better Leela. They are also playing on kibitzing machine and not actual TCEC machine. The kibitzing machines have less threads which make it Ceres friendly. Two of these factors combine to make it seem obliteration. It’s still not as strong as stockfish 🙂 New net architecture in SF introduced yesterday will make it even stronger

A beautiful attack. And a clear explanation as ever you make my day brighter thanks Josip. I am no AI expert but I know probability, a Monte Carlo search as far as I know is a quicker way to search a move tree. Instead of searching all possibilities the machine takes educated guesses and searches only some. Say five million out of several hundred. The educated guesses are pre programmed as rules of thumb. Or as IT folk love to say heuristics. Thanks again Josip and keep up the good work.

@zlac 2 жыл бұрын

Ceres uses Leela Neural Network, it's just the search engine that uses Leela network. Leela makes a decision on both "what moves are good in this position?" and "how good is this position?" Monte Carlo "search" is using mathematical formula to calculate the total weight of any explored branch by using weights of every single explored node in the branch as reported by the neural network. You might say Ceres is just a search engine different to LC0 search engine while both use the same Leela Neural Network "in the background.

@joseraulcapablanca8564 2 жыл бұрын

@@zlac as I said I am no AI expert. But I know probability, and a Monte Carlo search, is named so after the casino. The one thing it does not do is search all branches of the tree it takes a lucky guesses as to which branches to check, actually much like a grandmaster does. LC0 also like other Neural networks does not use a mathematical formula as such. Neural networks mimic brain learning, successful connections get used more often and unsuccessful connections do not grow,so the network, creates its own heuristics.

@zlac 2 жыл бұрын

@@joseraulcapablanca8564 Well, I don't know if Ceres takes lucky guesses, but I do know that the network itself returns "how good is current position" and it also returns what moves to play next along with their evaluation - ONE PLY DEEP. MCTS takes those percentages into account, uses mathematical formulas to ask the network where to search next and updates current evaluations on every branch mathematically. MCTS decides things like do we search this node deeper, or do we search it wider? Do we say "this node has too low probability of winning so we ignore it and explore somewhere else? What node do we explore next? I think most (if not all) is stochastic. If it does have the randomness in it - I'm not aware of it. I'm not even going into workings of a neural network, but Ceres and LC0 use the same network so it's unimportant and it doesn't make a difference.
