I am interested in doing some analyses of chess games using the neural network trained for Lc0. To that end I need to be able to turn PGN into the right kind of input vectors and to load and use the neural network trained for Leela chess.

My question is whether there is python code for this somewhere. Especially for the first step, using the neural network shouldn't be a problem.

Alternatively an explanation of how the input vectors are computed might enable me to write it myself.

  • I do not find input vector listed in any lco documentation that I found. Is that an alternate NN type word for something else in leela or lc0? I tend to infer that the input vector is the output of the NN but I may be misled by other sites discussing their versions of NN use.

  • The inputvector is the input to the NN. Basically, what the trainingsdata consists of.

Python utilities for experimenting with Leela Chess Zero a neural network based chess engine: https://github.com/glinscott/leela-chess/

Here: https://github.com/so-much-meta/lczero_tools This allows you to run the network in Python on specific board positions via python-chess, and get policy/value outputs. (Works with pytorch, and is also able to run the network using the tfprocess training module included in Leela).

  • This answer is mostly out of date and not helpful in 2023. The second link is an abandoned repo which contains another link with no example code.
