Thank you very much for your reply. After installing the engine and after configuring the engine Minic 3.04 (picture below), you are not sure if the engine loaded correctly noisy_notch.bin
If I were you, i'd use the full path to the net in order not to depend on "working directory".
This is indeed an issue, nothing in the GUI ensure that the net is well loaded.
One simple thing to do is comparing NPS with and without net. With this kind of net, Minic with net loaded shall be really slower than without it.

Sorry to write so. But you have to work on it. But any GUI should tell you that it has loaded noisy_notch.bin.
Well Minic is outputing info at screen to tell if net is loaded or not, no worries. But thing is, cutechess only prints debug output after the initialization phase so that you have no access to that.
About engine/gui relation, I don't think any other engine do something that tells UCI protocol that net is properly loaded, but I might be wrong.

Is this a cutechess screen shot? About what I am wrong? If this is cutechess debug output, I'm glad I'm wrong
If nnue net fail to load here, Minic would tell it and say it uses standard evaluation.
No, it isn't cutechess. It's a program Shredder Classic 5.As you can see, the program has loaded - noisy_notch.bin. See the information that is underlined in black in the image.

I have noticed that Minic has a problem with spaces in the path. C:\MinicNet\noisy_notch.bin works, but C:\Minic Net\noisy_notch.bin does not work.
Thank you for the information - see how it is with me.
