New sf+nnue play-only compiles

[JohnS]

What would be the syntax for specifying the net on cutechess command?

I use option.EvalDir="c:\Engines\Sfnnue\eval". Adjust the path to suit your setup. In json something like

{
"default" : "eval\\nn.bin",
"name" : "EvalFile",
"type" : "string",
"value" : ".\\eval\\nn.bin"
},

By the way - free plug for Banskia - it's great for engine matches and easier to set up for me.

For some reason, this compile loses 100% of the games under cutechess-cli.

Have you tried the nodchip binaries?

Yes, they work fine, I just wanted some taste of that speed everyone's talking about.

I get the same issue with nodchip compiles...
and the issue is not limited to 'go depth' games

Thanx, but:

nnue doesn't have option EvalDir

Edit: but it does have EvalFile. By specifying the path and the filename, it does work! I guess the problem was in that initial dot for the defautl value (default ./eval/nn.bin)

Excellent! Thx
