Relative piece values & NN #22

Open tissatussa opened 1 week ago

hi, i see your Sapling v1.2.2 is now mentioned in the CCRL lists .. it has rating 3337 : congrats !!

indeed i was aware of your progress ..

i know Sapling eval is based on its NN, but i wonder : do piece values exist like 100 for a pawn, 300 for a Bishop and kNight, etc. ? Or maybe all values in a NN are based on win-lose-draw statistics ?

i have no clue about the inner working of your NN or its training, but if these basic piece values exist, could those be dynamic ? While in some "position type" the piece can be valued differently ..

at this moment i have no better way to put my idea. i await your response, i can elaborate.
