Crafty NNUE Chess Engine?

[supersharp77]

This Thought Crossed my mind as I was watching the Candidates FIDE Tournament and Reviewing all the hundreds of Chess Engines Created in just the Past year...Is this Dream Possible? And How Strong Would It Be? Thx AR

Just a guess, at least the level of Shredder 13.

There's already a crafty clone with NNUE.(Vafra)

Suggestion:
If you have fritz, go to the bin folder and get the one built for your machine.
It will be a lot easier than configuring those winboard options by hand.

WOW...Interesting Project...File was quite large (around 100 mb or so..a couple of different compiles...it may be popcnt Contains a very interesting set of nnue files 8-10....They looked quite unique..may try some of them with a few other engines and see how it goes...Didn't see anything unusual as compared to the original Vafra's..I'm sure he added something so the engine can read the nnue networks...

At menue "download"- first one "Download link" at this follow- up site for the versions, there is a folder "src/". Didn't try, so don't know for sure, but another one "Download link" (last but one) has Crafty 25.2 sources as well as binaries regards

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Vafra based on a rather old version of Crafty? Vafra's web site says Crafty 25.2 is stronger than Vafra 2.17.0, so I would imagine that the current version of Crafty with NNUE would be stronger than Vafra 3.0.1.
