Uralochka3.37c
New version of the neural network. Added support for old CPUs without POPCNT instructions (SSE version).

My rating list based on test games (time control: 2 minutes per game):

Guenther I can not load StockNemo in Fritz GUI. The engine won't load, when trying to create it as new engine. The author field is blank. :(

It needs an argument for playing in a GUI. With the argument below I succeeded in playing games with it in CuteChess.

Code: Select all

--uci=True
Without that argument it will crash in a GUI. See the difference in the log excerpt.

BTW I found it out because of this:
https://github.com/TheBlackPlague/Stock ... 9079cd1R46

I am not sure though you want to try it anyway, because it is of course no SF clone/derivate (despite its name).
Otherwise I wouldn't have added it here. (may be it is 18-1900 in CCRL - very rough estimation)
See three quick test games below - first from start pos and third from a little start pgn.

This was the announcement: Add UCI_Chess960 option to make it working with cutechess-cli.

So maybe it only works with cli but not with the GUI.
