Hard-Talkchess-2020 set, final release

[MMarco]

After 39 sec, Blue Honey XI-r1 sticks to it on 1 core here (!). Could anyone explain me what "Deep Pro analysis" does? With this on, the engine solves this puzzle faster.

but too easy for Minic "mateFinder"

What is Minic "mate finder"? Are binaries available?

That is just Minic with forward pruning disable.

Code: Select all

minic -analyze "fen goes here" depth_here -mateFinder 1

[MOBMAT]

That is just Minic with forward pruning disable.

how about adding the mate finder parameter as a UCI setting?

Yes, you have to ask GCP to get Stooflees.
My graphic card is old, so I won't run any NN engines for a while.
