How Does Changing the Elo of a Chess Transformer Affect its Computations?

Increasing Skill Level Recruits Deeper Attention Layers in a Frozen Chess TransformerPaper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2609.23917TL;DR: Maia-3 is a transformer-based chess model that takes Elo (the standard metric for chess skill) as an input to the pre-trained network, so you can vary the skill the network is conditioned on with no change to its weights. Turning that Elo dial up from 700 to 2500:Pushes the computation deeper, monotonically, for every chess piece and move type I measured.This "depth ...
