Marcel van Kervincks website seems gone? (https://marcelk.net)

You're very welcome. I'm planning to pick up a Mac Mini m1 to use for development, so hopefully I can offer OS X builds in the future as well.

If anyone else is curious, I made a solid build of lc0 for Google Colab. Was fun to test it on some big hardware. :D To save time I'm putting it up for others to download. I also have syzygy 3-4-5 available to grab. lc0 https://chess.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/lc0_colab.tar.bz2 syzygy 3-4-5 htt...

I built it in various formats for Windows and put on my CDN. Hope it works well for you.
