I might try a different approach where one thread is used per line as multipv is only used for analysis anyways).
Connor, I closely follow the way you develop your engine, and I feel that your tremendous idea for the net could be even more fruitful -- the progress between new iterations of the net is a clear witness of that. About usability: it works for me the way it is now -- I often use two engines at the same time to get different assessments -- so, just enjoy yourself, and continue with the good work.

Thanks Ed! I'm incredibly pleased to see I've likely surpassed Stockfish 7 by some margin in your testing. It's a little sad that I've narrowly missed making it into the top 10 on your list. I guess that will have to wait for the next release :)

I've released a new version of Seer here: https://github.com/connormcmonigle/seer ... tag/v2.4.0. It should be substantially stronger than the previous release and adds support for Syzygy EGTB probing as well as pondering. More information can be found in the release description.

You should probably sync with the latest Fathom code. It looks like you are using my fork, but not the latest version (README for example is ouit of date, and there have been some bug fixes you probably don't have). I import Fathom as a submodule so that it is easy to sync with the upstream version.

Ahh, thanks for the heads up Jon. I'll switch to using the submodule in that case to make syncing easier. I wasn't aware that Fathom was actively developed. Additionally, thanks for your contributions to Fathom (and thanks to Ronald).

Do you believe there are any bug fixes significant enough to warrant updating the release?

I'm not sure exactly what commit you are on, so it's hard to answer that. But I don't think there's anything super-urgent.

Hi Connor,

In the makefile the net file name is different from the latest net unless I have overlooked something.

Hello Gabor,
The network hash in the makefile/network listed in the README is correct. It's also the most recent network as listed on the "seer-training" release page, though it's not listed as "latest" as I'm using the network hash as the release name which results in GitHub assuming an incorrect ordering. In general, the release page for the "seer-training" repo should be ignored.
