Jim,

Could you add 'neurochesstrainer' to make it a complete package?
Thanks.

Denis

:oops: Sorry, I didn't look first before I complained!
Thanks a lot for these. I only asked as I wasn't successful with the trainer.

Has anyone tested this Neural Network Stockfish? how does it compare with the original one? is it any stronger?

How does this all work? I'm new to neural nets but believe that they typically have to be "trained" before playing well. What is the process for the training and how long before it begins to play reasonable (2000 ELO) chess?

** neuroStock is an experiment (more like meta-engine) and in
** combination with neuroChessTrainer[fn:2] supposed to be testing
** platform for different backpropagation neural networks. There
** are no expectations for engine strength and as far as hardly
** trained, it plays like a blond bimbo.

But project is very interesting :D Will try it ^^

I am not getting the output logs using mode 0. Could this be because I am using Windows and you compiled with the original directory format "./logs/stockfish-"?

Windows builds are not outputting the neccesary log files. :(

I have re-compiled both NeuroStock & NeuroGrape with Cygwin and now both are working correctly :)

Downside is that NeuroStock can only be 32 bit (Cygwin has no 64 bit), but I don't think it matters much with these experimental programs.
