Dragon 3.1 by Komodo Chess available now!




Larry Kaufman:

"We have released Dragon 3.1 at komodochess.com, which today won the World Computer Chess Championship after a tiebreak match with Lc0. Dragon uses NNUE (Neural Network Updated Efficiently) technology, originally developed for the game of shogi. Komodo has a great deal of chess knowledge in its evaluation. Training an NNUE network based on this evaluation was both an advantage and a challenge, requiring experimentation with architectures and data generation of billions of positions. The reinforcement learning phase for Dragon is in its infancy, but is already showing great promise."
