ABSURD 1.0 immediately dominated the 3 known style rating lists, our own balanced and UHO playing style rating lists and the EAS rating list with an absurd high result.

The idea for an absurd engine started after a discussion at Talkchess and after a significant formula change in the neural network ABSURD 1.0 saw the light but came with a high price, the engine is only a 3000+ elo engine.

In theory we can repeat this process endlessly, increasing the value of the formula which changes the contents of the neural network and likely will give even more style points but certainly will lower the elo even more.

ABSURD 1.0 is brought to you by Chris Whittington and Ed Schröder.
