Correct, if EvalFile is set, a different NNUE net is loaded, so the built-in one is disabled.Gabor Szots wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 11:56 am I guess the EvalFile setting takes precedence over the built-in one.

It's OK with the default settings despite that the 'eval' directory does not even exist.voffka wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 1:26 pmAnd if you keep the option unset?

Re: New engine releases 2020
Thanks for confirming this Gabor. Yes, the default options will work. If a user puts invalid (empty) value as an EvalFile or a path to a network file that is invalid I choose to abort Igel (engine exits) because I would like user to be 100% sure that what user does actually works.Gabor Szots wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 1:42 pm It's OK with the default settings despite that the 'eval' directory does not even exist.
The main scenario I want to prevent with this logic is when user uses a different net file and does mistake with a wrong path. In this case Igel will use default eval file and so the test will be invalid from the user point of view, because user expects his/her own file to be in use.

Stash 19.2 available at https://gitlab.com/mhouppin/stash-bot/-/releases/v19.2
I expect it to be stronger by 15-20 Elo over version 19.0.

Re: New engine releases 2020
Copied from CCRL public forum:
Hi all,
I've spent the last couple months shut in at home making my own chess engine, and I think it's finally ready for release and rating!
Name: Jonathan Tseng
Engine name: Beef
Nationality: US
Protocol: UCI
Open source: https://github.com/jtseng20/Beef/releases/tag/v0.2
I estimate from limited fast testing that Beef is around 3000.
I work on a linux machine, so the makefile should work for linux, and my windows compiles are made with visual c++, but I am not completely sure yet if everything is correct. Please tell me if there are any problems with the given binaries. Thanks!

Re: New engine releases 2020
SlowChess Blitz Classic 2.3 for windows is now available at the web page
It's only slightly, but consistently, better than version 2.2 in my tests.
Any comments or issues feel free to post on the Slow Chess forum topic for disccusion.

Re: New engine releases 2020
Neocortex 1.0 by Justin Stanley
https://github.com/codeandkey/neocortex
I remember that I tried to compile this already in spring, but files were missing IIRC.
It seems this older neocortex version was moved to a different branch.
The current master branch compiles fine now.
I will add it in a few hours to my download site, as the 1.0 release is source only.
I don't think it is very strong right now, but at least it has a lot of original work in it unlike other beef.
I also found and reported a glitch with nps calculation at higher depths (going negative!).
