Owners of Ethereal 13.00 & 13.25 should have received emails by now containing a link to download the updated binaries. If you fall into that category, and have not received an email from andrewgrantethereal@gmail.com, please first check your spam folder and then reach out to me via andrewgrantethereal@gmail.com or andrew@grantnet.us. I would prefer to provide any support needed via email, and not here on talkchess.

While Ethereal without NNUE still exists, and can be compiled directly from the source with ease, I have not provided binary files. This is because the strength of NNUE makes the standard version obsolete for high tier game-play, like rating lists, tournaments, and correspondence analysis.
