Gabor, that's an example why I don't want MinicNNUE (even with nascent nutrient) to be rated and been called Minic. Because there is good chance it will here between Ethereal, Xiphos, Defenchess, rofChade, ... I don't feel like it is its right place.

Another example is what is currently happening in Graham division 2 (with nascent nutrient also)

Code: Select all

   1.   MINIC 2.50 64-BIT                           34    21.0    **** ===. 101. 0=0. ===. 10=. 11=. ==1. 1=1. =1=1 1=0. 11=. 
   2.   DEFENCHESS 2.2 64-BIT                       34    20.0    ===. **** 1==. =0=. =1=. =1=. ==== 01=. =1=. ==1. ===. 11=. 
   3.   RUBICHESS 1.8 64-BIT                        34    19.0    010. 0==. **** 1=1. ===. 0==. =0=. 11=. 1=1. 1==. ===. ==1= 
   4.   ANDSCACS 0.95 64-BIT                        34    18.5    1=1. =1=. 0=0. **** ===. =1=0 =0=. =1=. 0=1. 11=. 0==. =1=. 
   5.   ARASAN 22.1 64-BIT                          33    18.0    ===. =0=. ===. ===. **** 11=. 10=. ==1. 01=. =1=. 10=. ===. 
In front of Defenchess, Rubi, Andsacs, Arasan, ... and on a quite small hardware I guess from the nps ... will be even worst on better hardware I think. So not me league ...

For now, I'm learning about NN and that's enough.

NNUE merge was too easy :oops:
NNUE technology is from SF.
But yes I built my own net (nascent nutrient).

Please see this

NNUE is no different than every single technique/technology used in chess (LMR, null move etc.) except that all of them are related to search. Is it something about NNUE being an eval-based technology that makes it undeserved to be recognized by you?

I not only borrow the technology, but also the code itself (a code bigger in number of lines than Minic code itself !).
Moreover NNUE merging inside Minic (both evaluation code and learning code) was very easy, because the code was already well cleaned by Stockfish contributors.

I'll rethink my position for example if NNUE and associated learning tools become a shared lib for the community. Or if like 30 engines is going for NNUE and uses SF nets ... (a situation I will dislike a lot ...)
I did this NNUE experiment for fun, for learning, not for position in rating list.

Of course anyone can use it ! And I'll try to build net for it. Think of it as an option, not a way to climb the ladder. (a ladder that Minic is already climbing quite fast anyway http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/404/cgi/c ... +opponents, thanks to the forum, to CPW, to advices, to discord channel, to code reading, ...)

I get it if the used net to rank Minic is SF nets, but I don't quite get why you don't want to recognize your own homebrew nets that are created from Minic own eval as a part of Minic.
