I have some questions about the capability who have many Stockfish derivate versions like Shashchess and Sugar NN to learn.
1) They learn through self play games like Lc0 ?
Or after a series of games against other engines ?
2) Can they learn via a human game database ?
3) If i set the limit strenght option i lose the ability of learning ?
4) After how many games an engine can learn something different ?
5) Is there an ability to make a weaker and more human like engine after the learning process ?
6) What are the steps i need to follow to make engines like Sugar or Shashchess ready for learning ?
Thanks for your reply...
