[FRIAM] Training your value network

[Eric Charles]

Given the history of Kyu and Don rankings, the phrase "Amatuer 5th Don" is
highly amusing.

Very cool video. It is hard for me to imagine a game of chess in which
players resign with so many moves left. Admittedly, I've only played very
amatuer chess, but hoping-your-opponent-screw-up would seemed pretty
important, if there were a really large number of moves left to be made. If
there were only a few moves left, not so much.
