Prophet 5.1 has hit another milestone, crossing the 2700 Elo mark on the CCRL Blitz Ratings List. The latest list shows Prophet at 2712 Elo, another big step forward and a nice validation of the neural-network work that started with version 5.0.

The focus of development is still squarely on the neural network — refining the architecture, expanding the training data, and experimenting with new approaches to label the data.

Breaking 2700 is a great milestone, but there’s plenty of headroom left.
