   Hypothetically, what reward would be worth the cost for you to attempt to beat Stockfish 18, 100 million nodes/move, from the starting position?

   You can run Stockfish single threaded in a deterministic manner by specifying nodes searched instead of time, so in principle it is possible to set some kind of bounty for beating Stockfish X at Y nodes per move from the start position, but

   However, it is true that Elo gain on "balanced books" has stalled somewhat since Stockfish 16 in 2023, which is also reflected on the CCRL rating lists. IMO AlphaZero was partially a result of the fact that using more compute also

   Engines like Stockfish might have over 100 "search parameters" that need to be tuned, to my best knowledge SPSA is preferred because the computational cost typically does not depend on the number of parameters. Or, if attempting t

   Leela policy is around 2600 elo, or around the level of a strong grandmaster. Note that Go is different from chess since there are no draws, so skill difference is greatly magnified. Elo is always a relative scale (expected score is based o
