similarboy··on Show HN: I trained a chess engine to play like humans
very interesting project! I'm a chess aficionado and playing vs stockfish does always feel a bit clunky at ~1,700-1,900 ELO. How are the 100-point buckets calibrated? Would the ~1,800 ELO truly win ~50% of the times against humans with a similar rating?
