Created by retraining the master net on a dataset composed of:
* The Leela-dfrc_n5000.binpack dataset filtered with depth6 multipv2 search to remove positions with only one good move, in addition to removing positions where either of the two best moves are captures
* The same Leela T80 oct+nov 2022 training data used in recent best datasets
* Additional Leela training data from T60 nov+dec 2021 and T79 apr+may 2022
Trained with end lambda 0.7 and started with max epoch 800. All positions with ply <= 28 were skipped:

```
Around epoch 780, training was manually paused and max epoch increased to 920 before resuming.
During depth6 multipv2 data filtering, positions were considered to have only one good move if the score of the best move was significantly better than the 2nd best move in a way that changes the outcome of the game:
* the best move leads to a significant advantage while the 2nd best move equalizes or loses
* the best move is about equal while the 2nd best move loses

About 95% of the Leela portion and 96% of the DFRC portion of the Leela-dfrc_n5000.binpack dataset was filtered. Unfiltered parts of the dataset were left out.
The additional Leela training data from T60 nov+dec 2021 and T79 apr+may 2022 was WDL-rescored with about 12TB of syzygy 7-piece tablebases where the material difference is less than around 6 pawns. Best moves were exported to .plain data files during data conversion with the lc0 rescorer.

This is a later epoch (epoch 859) from the same experiment run that trained yesterday's master net nn-60fa44e376d9.nnue (epoch 779). The experiment was manually paused around epoch 790 and unpaused with max epoch increased to 900 mainly to get more local elo data without letting the GPU idle.
nn-60fa44e376d9.nnue is from #4314
nn-335a9b2d8a80.nnue is from #4295

Created by retraining the master net on the previous best dataset with additional filtering. No new data was added.
More of the Leela-dfrc_n5000.binpack part of the dataset was pre-filtered with depth6 multipv2 search to remove bestmove captures. About 93% of the previous Leela/SF data and 99% of the SF dfrc data was filtered. Unfiltered parts of the dataset were left out. The new Leela T80 oct+nov data is the same as before. All early game positions with ply count <= 28 were skipped during training by modifying the training data loader in nnue-pytorch.
Trained in a similar way as recent master nets, with a different nnue-pytorch branch for early ply skipping:

Created by retraining the master net with a combination of:
the previous best dataset (Leela-dfrc_n5000.binpack), with about half the dataset filtered using depth6 multipv2 search to throw away positions where either of the 2 best moves are captures
Leela T80 Oct and Nov training data rescored with best moves, adding ~9.5 billion positions
Trained effectively the same way as the previous master net:

localElo: run_0/nn-epoch779.nnue : 4.7 +/- 3.1
The new Leela T80 part of the dataset was prepared by downloading test80 training data from all of Oct 2022 and Nov 2022, rescoring with syzygy 6-piece tablebases and ~600 GB of 7-piece tablebases, saving best moves to exported .plain files, removing all positions with castling flags, then converting to binpacks and using interleave_binpacks.py to merge them together. Scripts used in this data conversion process are available at:
https://github.com/linrock/lc0-data-converter
Filtering binpack data using depth6 multipv2 search was done by modifying transform.cpp in the tools branch:
