Thanks a lot Graham. I'm really happy with the good results of my trainer/training process ! It seems that even with half of the neurons compared to SF's NNUE architecture, and without Syzygy tables, one can achieve (very) good performance

I'm currently trying to train a network from "zero", i.e. let a network evolve from purely random weights, but it does not seem an easy task : after one day of computations, the best network is not even able to perform better than a purely random mover
