None of the executables work on my two I7 systems. All DLL's installed. A double click and crash. Install on Arena also crashes. Hopefully you can do something about it. My system: Intel Xeon E5-2680 v2.

Hert opening set

Thanks!

I'm trying to find the best low draw openings that can be played in real life scenarios (where the opponent wants to beat you), I'll be checking those ones out.

Try one of these https://www.file-upload.net/download-14 ... UE.7z.html, Ed.

Based on current master https://github.com/nodchip/Stockfish, these are static compiles without AVX2 support, but with SSE41 instead,
popcount (modern) and bmi2 compiles included.
Place the network in a folder named 'eval' (default), or specify a different folder with setoption name EvalDir command.

Note: This version will load the net after 'ucinewgame' or when setting a different EvalDir.

About the crashes that are reported by several users: It seems that Stockfinn needs 'isready' for some initialization.
I can reproduce the crash when I ommit this command before go infinite.

I ran some fast test with 60+0.5 tc:

Code: Select all

   Motor                   Punkte          St
1: Stockfinn               23,0/30 ·········· 
2: Stockfish_10_x64_bmi2   4,0/10  =1=00==0== 
3: Ethereal12.00-x64-pext  1,5/10  =000=000=0 
3: RubiChess-Github-Master 1,5/10  000=000=0= 

SF10 and Rubi even had access to 5-men-tb while SFnn had no tb, so... Impressive!

This has just changed recently! See https://github.com/nodchip/Stockfish/commits/master
Now the net is loaded after 'ucinewgame', which will be sent by any compliant GUI or cli tool anyway,
or after setting a different 'EvalDir'.
This seems a better way than abusing 'isready' ...

Xeon v2 doesn't support bmi2. He needs a compile with only popcnt.

I'd love to test it too.
Could anyone please help and tell me why I cant load stockfinn.exe or intel-skylake.exe in Fritz 16 gui as modules ? Never had any problem with Stockfish NNUE engines, or any other engines ...
Thank you

what happens when you simply double click on those executables?
verify that you see a black command prompt window...

When I double click on both executables, I get a system error message : libwinpthread-1.dll is missing. No way to execute code. Can I find this dll somewhere ?

Ahha!!

check the 1st post of this thread
jjosh offers those files on his patron site (where you downloaded stockfinn.exe)

after downloading , create a sub-directory called eval in the same folder where stockfinn.exe and the dll(s) reside
and put nn.bin in there

try using staticStockfiNN.exe and you won't need the dlls

Thank you for answering ! It works now. I just missed the dll's point, feeling silly. Have fun, going to test the marvel ..

This is the fastest "modern" compilation I've ever run!

Joerg, can you make a "modern" compilation for a regular 256x2 network?
