Leela Zero progress thread

[Lys]

I have a question for those who know Leela Zero and also Leela 0.11

I asked in another thread too but had no response.
So, if you think it’s OT here, please post your answer there:

In Lizzie, why is the "move the bot would chose" not the one with the highest percent?

I know that LZ has no training based on human games. My question was about the number of playouts. I’ve seen Mark suggesting something like 800 or 1000 playouts on LZ, while with Leela 11 I used to let it do many more: sometimes the best move is still changing after tens of thousands simulations.

What exactly “playouts” means for LZ? Is the same as “nodes” or “simulations” on Leela?

I can see Leela change its mind about the “best move” while doing more and more simulations, so I let it run for tens of thousands (30k, 50k, even more) on a single move before considering that done.
On LZ I can see people talking about 200 / 800 / 1000 playouts, so I’m not sure I understand correctly.
