Minic version 3

[Gabor Szots]

I wonder if Minic still supports CECP and if yes how do I pass parameters such as NNUE file, syzygy path, etc. which can be done via UCI options when installed as UCI.

Well I guess it still reads the minic.json

"Weini comes with a highly tunable configuration file (in json format)" but I can't find such a file with Minic.

Hi !

Minic used to use this json parameter file (an heritage from Weini indeed!) but this is not the case anymore for a while.

But yes Minic can use CECP ! and NNUEFile is a parameter available (I see it in the Xboard interface).

To use xboard protocol just use

Code: Select all

minic -xboard

If you want, you can also "force" some option, like NNUEFile in the command line

Code: Select all

minic -xboard -NNUEFile /path/to/net.bin

I hope that's help.

Hi Vivien,

Thanks for the help. Under Arena I have problems, if I don't give -xboard then the parameters cannot be seen, if I give -xboard then Arena overrules my choice of the WB protocol and starts Minic in UCI mode. Not a problem, I'm going to use Minic in UCI mode.

New release of Minic ! version 3.07 is available : https://github.com/tryingsomestuff/Mini ... s/tag/3.07

The net is now embeded inside the executable, so you don't have to worry about setting the good path anymore (but the executable are big ! so I put them here https://github.com/tryingsomestuff/Mini ... er/Minic3/).
Default GUI parameter for the net (NNUEFile) is "embeded" instead of a path and it means "use the embeded net". If you replace this by a full path to another net, it will use this other net.

Another parameter is available for "NNUE score scaling", and has been tuned (to the value of 130) for the new net given in 3.07, named "Naive Nostalgia".
This new net is the first one where I use another former net to create training data (in this case "Noisy Notch" was used).

In self tests, this release is 30Elo stronger at short TC.

Have fun !

I've played 500 chess960 games so far, and it is unfortunately -95 Elo to version 3.06. I'll check the engine set-up, but I don't think there is any issue there.

This is very possible, this net was not trained with FRC. But 95Elo seems a lot, I'll check that !

Yes I can confirm that in FRC

Code: Select all

Minic3.04+NoNo < Minic3.07+NaNo < Minic3.06+NoNa

This is mainly because "Nocturnal Nadir" was trained with a good proportion of FRC data which is no the case for "Naive Nostalgia".

So no need to test more in FRC probably. I'll try to make a better FRC net for next release.

I've played 500 chess960 games so far, and it is unfortunately -95 Elo to version 3.06. I'll check the engine set-up, but I don't think there is any issue there.

Minic 3.08 (https://github.com/tryingsomestuff/Mini ... s/tag/3.08) is released with a new embeded net named "negligible nystagmus". This net looks even with "naive nostalgia" (the net embeded in Minic3.07) at classic chess but is much stronger at FRC.

Binaries are here : https://github.com/tryingsomestuff/Mini ... ter/Minic3


Please note that it was reported to me that, for Minic3.07, on znver1 architecture (in this case it was a Ryzen 9) the "slylake" build (so including pext/bmi2 instructions) seems faster. This is currently under investigation.
