Hello Chess Friends
Well, today let me start with this great saying:Don't just be part of the herd
By the way, without to not mention this I can not as well, e.g:If we were to say that a large social group consists of people,Who don't have their own thoughts, who constantly need guidance,Who try to adopt what is accepted..instead of better original ideas,And I think here only a few people would object all over...right ?)
On other hand, other good notes, which perfectly suits:In 2008, Prof. Jens Krause of the University of Leeds,Conducted an experiment into human herd mentality andHow people, quite literally, follow the crowd... source:
Groups of people were asked to walk randomly around a hall.They were not allowed to communicate with one another butHad to stay within arm’s length of another person at all times.Among the groups, a few individuals were given more specificInstructions on where to walk. The researchers found that,Very quickly, people started to follow the select few whoAppeared to know where they were going.The researchers found that it only took 5% of confidentLooking people to influence the direction of the other 95%.
In other words, it's all right that when to be in nature,Most of animals show a herd mentality for safety reasons!
But what about Humans, Chess? NNUE testings etc.How many of us are trying something new, better?If it's 'green' net: 27944 downloads.. hehe ))If not..for example: nn-86aaa607b31b, just: 497
Meanwhile (about nn-86aaa607b31b.nnue statistics):Before organizing EvalFile CS V... the downloads wereMinus plus 400 (sure I refer for nn-86aaa607b31b.nnue)So it seems (via Blitz LIV too) played some influences!As we see not so much..but played some role for sure..!!Very likely here only SedatChess visitors showed interest..I mean if was in past..  I was active in many chess forums..Then the number of downloads would be much increased...But not so important...even +1 (one)  is all right. actually ifAll people follow what I do..that means I'm doing it wrong!
Again I'd like to mention here, what does it mean?Actually go this way...if not... 'SC'' would not win !Go + test the engines only with weak lines too..!!Then just don't come and say again latest SF dev.Is best, because this is not 'true'..at least in SCCT..!!Even if future tours.. SF will be Champ..will be great..But still will be not enough..cause what about draws?What about rest SF's options: CTG, BIN, EXP etc. ?For these reasons. we've have think more 'deeply'When we are going to talk..or testing any file etc.!For more details over these issues on OpenChess
As final words (once more, for anyone missed):One day, the Dog says to a Wolf:If you were loved, they'd take you into their homes and love you.The Wolf replies:If we were curious about every lap, we'd be on streets like you,Moreover, you can't find us but we can find you in every street.

Best,Sedat
