Elo progress. It is based on a self-match with the previous weight. Left vertical axis is Elo. Right is floodgate and vs Kristallweizen 1k,10k,50k,100k,200k,500k. Horizontal axis is number of trained games(1 unit is 10000 games).
As of 2020-11-20.

AobaZero 800playouts/move vs Kristallweizen 500k/move. 800 match games.

You can see the process of acquiring Shogi knowledge from the game records.
Self-play games without noise. Each game uses same weight.

You can see the transition of opening moves.

Self-play games for training.
Self-play games for every 10,000 games added. The top of the page is the latest game. It will be updated every other day.

These are self-play games for training. It often plays blunder for the first 30 moves.
And sometimes it choose a move that is not a best by adding noise on root node.
