I've just released a new version of my engine.
These are the changes:
- New neural network.
- Optimized incremental update of the neural network.
- Improved null move conditions.
- Added evaluation for trapped bishop for chess960.
- Fixed a bug with ponder.
- Simple support for "go nodes" command.
- Skip illegal moves in "go searchmoves" command.
- Added MoveOverhead option.
It's about 70 elo stronger than Pedone 3.0.
As usual you can download it from its site: https://sites.google.com/site/pedonechess

Wonderful progress, Fabio. One of my gauntlets is about to finish so I know what to test next.Fabio Gobbato wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 11:33 am I've just released a new version of my engine.

You do not need to delete the entry.Krzysztof Grzelak wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 2:10 pm Unfortunately, there is a bug in the engine, please correct it.
How will the entry be deleted pedonebook.bin - the program stops working.

For me, this is a mistake and a redundant entry.

I don't understand what is the problem, if OwnBook is disabled or if there isn't the book the engine doesn't use it.Krzysztof Grzelak wrote: ↑Sun Apr 25, 2021 2:10 pm Unfortunately, there is a bug in the engine, please correct it.

I've tested with the book enabled and disabled and the engine work.

Re: New release Pedone 3.1
Ok, now I have seen the problem. I will solve it, but for now if you keep the BookFile and you disable the OwnBook option the engine doesn't use a book.

Yes, if you leave Own Book unticked then it is fine just to leave the name there is it not ?
