Marvin 6.1.0

Post by Martin »

I have just released Marvin 6.1.0. Based on my testing it's about 80 elo stronger than version 6.0.0.

Changes:
* Use hybrid eval instead of pure NNUE
* Improvements to PVS
* Improvements to LMR
* New net based on Marvin 6.0.0 data

Thanks to everyone that keeps on testing my engine.

Hello Damir,

i wanted to compile marvin from sources and i get this error "pthread.h": No such file or directory from microsoft visual studio 2022.
Are the sources incomplete?

I use gcc and the included Makefile when building for Windows. Using Visual Studio should be possible, but it might take some work (I haven't tried it for a long time). To avoid the 'pthread.h' error you have to define the WINDOWS preprocessor variable. Additionally, I also think you will have to define _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE in order to avoid some other issues.
