| |
| get Reti: It took me just as long to figure out whether it was white or black to play as it did for me to find the solution :) |

| |
| get Reti: I also saw this faster than Monday and Tuesday. The fact that it’s a forced mate makes things easier. |

| get Reti: Here is an interesting thought I had. We've found that although neural networks don't think as many moves deep as traditional engines, they perform better due to a more conceptual understanding of the position. Is there any two-player board game (maybe Go?) where this effect is ... |
