![]() A single moment won’t set the way for a horror story unless you’ve done the work and set the rest of the scene. The best analogy I heard is that one spark does not start a fire unless there’s something surrounding it to catch flame. It’s jarring.īut that jolt alone does not a horror story make. In horror, sometimes the most powerful jolts are based on the things you don’t see or don’t expect. The scare comes from a delicate rhythm of tension and release, of the unknown threat or unseen danger finally being realized. The moment the monster appears, attacks, maims, etc - that’s the moment the spring comes undone, and then (if it’s not the climax) the spring begins to coil back down, ready to leap again. Horror walks the line of suspense, keeping the entire world of the story contained within a tightly coiled spring. The moment that the character is stabbed is not the moment horror is born. For me there was a line between creepy and horror, and that line was gore. I was never into the blood and guts and just avoided it for the most part, even as I loved every second of all things creepy. I liked creepy, gothy things, but horror? No, thanks. Unfortunately, these titles are only available on Playstation and Nintendo consoles.Growing up, I never would have called myself a horror fan.

![]() It does not bother me one bit, and I get very useful and enjoyable analysis. Important note: Before starting, I’d like to just point out that while I own a machine with the highest specs one could want, I run Fat Fritz regularly on my 3-year-old laptop which can run it only at 2000 NPS (bottom of the performance list below). You can see the first is the overall win rate, followed by the details of the wins, draws and losses. When you run the engine you will also see the breakdown at the bottom. There is a new engine output option “Display win probabilities” that is active by default. Fritz 17 has been modified to allow users to see this pure output of the neural network. This is useful since saying a position has a 50% chance won't tell you if that means it expects 50% wins and 50% losses, or just 100% draws. Fat Fritz will break this down into not only the overall winning chances, but the expected wins, draws and losses. One of the characteristics of the neural networks is that they learn and evaluate a position based on winning chances. The Fat Fritz in the Engine Cloud runs on a quite modest quad-core CPU (five years old), though bolstered by two fast RTX 2080 video cards. On the upside, nearly any computer can use this and there is no need to buy an entirely new machine. Needless to say, a graphics card will also bring far more advantages than just running Fat Fritz, such as gaming, 3D graphics, video rendering, AI development, and more. The recommended hardware is an Nvidia RTX 2060 or faster, but the better the card, the better the experience. ![]() If you wanted an excuse to get a fancy new graphics card, you can now tell your better half, "but honey, it's for chess!" Photo: Zotac Even though Fat Fritz might be running a thousand times slower than conventional engines, it will still provide top analysis, but without a graphics card the experience will be only useful as a demonstration, and will be slower by a factor of 1000-2000. The neural network weights are a massive file with tens of millions of values that comprise its vast knowledge of the game, and while the calculations are all done on the CPU, the graphics card, thanks to its unique design, is used to read the neural network and feed the CPU the evaluation for every position it examines. There really is no way to get around this. You will have seen that to use Fat Fritz and Leela properly you will need a solid graphics card. |
