Regarding supervised learning, what data do you use? Would it make sense to use endgame tablebases[1]?

We are using data from both human grandmaster games and self-play games of a recent Stockfish version. Both have resulted in networks that play reasonable openings, but we had some issues with the value head not understanding good positions. We think we have a line on why this is happening (too few weights in the final stage of the network), but this is exactly the purpose of the supervised learning debugging phase :).
