Not enough opening variety in self-play? #415

Closed so-much-meta closed 6 years ago

Please refer to this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/lczero/4Firr6yxAc0 It was stated that Leela plays only a couple openings during self-play. However, looking at Alpha Zero paper, page 6: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1712.01815.pdf

Alpha Zero chess never played any opening more than 25% of the time during self-play, and usually the most frequent openings were played under 12% of the time.

Seems that there was a mistake/misinterpretation in that thread... No issue with training data.
