I have released Francesca 0.30. Available from www.silentshark.co.uk
Not a huge jump in strength, maybe 30 ELO or so.
Changes
Small changes. Minor optimisations. More aggressive null move pruning. IID replaced by IIR (thanks to Ed Schroder for idea). Tweak to futility to make more aggressive or not, depending on if position is improving. Separate search functions when in check. Minor eval tweaks - tuning needed
Happy Christmas to everyone. Let's hope 2021 is a better year, and the world gets on top of the Coronavirus.

Re: New engine releases 2020
Not worked on them for a while, but had a lot of fun a few years back building simple Android and iOS games with the kids. Probably need to tweak things to ensure they are still on Google Play, and I think my Apple tax ran out a while back..jshriver wrote: ↑Wed Dec 23, 2020 3:56 pmTank Time and Yikes! Zombies!

Re: New engine releases 2020
Igel 2.9.0 at https://github.com/vshcherbyna/igel/releases/tag/2.9.0 (official executable binaries for Windows and IGN net).
After three months of generating data using Igel's own search and evaluation and training several network architectures I am happy to announce a new version of Igel 2.9.0 that uses it's own network trained on Igel search/eval data (around 2.3 billions of depth 8 and 500 millions of depth 12). Earlier versions of this network seen strong participation of Igel in TCEC Season 20 and should bring more than 20 elo of strength at LTC.
What's new:
- Switch to own network based on Igel search and evaluation (ign-0-9b1937cc)
- NNUE dynamic eval scaling
Regression run against Igel 2.8.0 at 60s+0.6:
Code: Select all
ELO | 24.06 +- 5.30 (95%)
SPRT | 60.0+0.6s Threads=1 Hash=64MB
LLR | 0.00 (-2.94, 2.94) [0.00, 0.00]
Games | N: 7376 W: 1908 L: 1398 D: 4070
