Can you tell us why you post this request here (against the intention of this thread again)?

And BTW I compiled several flavours of that version around seven months ago... you should be able to find 'em.

Sorry I have seen on FPC that Chistian Gunter is the author of this open source engine, and Simon compiled the 6.0.5 build, so I was thinking that is the right thread. Could you please give me the exact link of the modern / popcnt / sse3|sse41 build or the right section where I can search your compilations ? On the download link above I find only 6.0.0 patch 1. Maybe the difference is only on the nemorino_net_16.nnue net?

Just found on the repository:
2021-01-25 6.05: New Default Net (nemorino_net_16.nnue) by multiple reinforcements steps of nemorino_net_14.nn)

Thank you!
Alex

Hi,

thanks a lot for keeping that list alive. Great stuff!

Just a word about Minic version numbers, I quite often see in the forum things like "Minic 3.0.9" or "Minic 3.1.3" that does not exist,
it shall be "Minic 3.09" and "Minic 3.13".

Regards

Oh I see what you mean. I did it correctly before my break though. This was somehow inherited after so much programs now value having two or
somehow even 3 dots! in the version number.
This was unseen/seldom just a few years ago (probably also came up with PLs with generic version numbering for building, including multiple dots in the last years e.g. rust, go etc.) and I accidentally adopted it for Minic too, since the June releases. I will correct this ASAP.

Nalwald 14

Roughly 90 points improvement over 1.12 and ~105 points compared to 1.11. Probable true improvement is around 40-50 Elo points (I haven't tested against other engines, this is just a guess).

Some changes:
- evaluation now uses tables instead of multipliers for mobility and king-safety calculation
- parameters newly optimized on new training data
- small changes to TT, LMR, PVS, and quiesce
- added counter move history heuristic

Hi Jost,

I am a bit confused about the version numbering you use.

And now it is Nalwald 14 ?

For the moment I have called it Nalwald 1.14, I can always change it later.

1000 games.

Elo pool : 2844
