Releasd with couple of other binaries as well....
A couple notes:
To run this effectively, a processor that includes AVX2 (like BMI2) is almost mandatory, otherwise you could see an NPS decrease of up to 50%.
If you're not sure what instruction sets your CPU includes, I've included a complete of bmi2 and avx2 processors on the main page...see

ATM the nnue network must be named nn.bin and reside in the same directory as the Fire 8.N executable.
The NNUN implementation is completely different than SF, and utilizes a modified version of Daniel Shaw's/Cfish excellent nnue probe code:

Many thanks to him and Ronald de Man for that!
The download includes the top reinforcement learning NN (according to my extensive testing) trained by Sergio Viera last year.
I think you'll see that this, combined with Fire's search translates into some real interesting, unique, and strong engine chess.
