Is lc0 uses opening book for training? #709

blueforest03 commented 6 years ago

I find that at the beginning of training,lc0 would generate some moves instantly.Is that means lc0 uses an opening book for training? And if it is so,why not let lc0 discover openings on its own?

Not the case. In the beginning caching might just be more efficient, reusing a lot of computing.
