[Damir]

Anyone that can compile this engine ?

Compiles are already there:

I was not asking about compiles compiled a month ago...

But about the recent changes done since than, and if somebody can compile the engine, just like it is done with Obsidian, with the current changes.

The engine is in the .\bin\x64\release folder (lizard.exe)

I do not know how useful it will be . I chose the version 14 network because "it sounded newer to me than the version 13" and I have no idea if that was good or bad.

I did an AOT compile so it should be a hair faster.
I compiled for Windows 10 so it will not run on Windows 8 or below.
It is not a portable compile, so it will not run on Linux.
The only change I made was the name in the file network.txt and compilation options in the makefile.
If you have the latest dotnet compiler it is trivial to build your own version from the repository.

P.S.
I like Lizard, it seems really aggressive.

Thanks Dann. I will give it a try.

Dann,

It seems there is something wrong with Lizard.exe in bin folder. The file is only 136 kb big, and it won't load as new engine in Fritz GUI. The The other recent Lizard compiles from here : https://github.com/liamt19/Lizard/releases
are 30 and 40 MB in seize.

it uses a dll
it requires windows 10
it runs on my system but may not run on others

consider that the master network is the master network for a reason

I am also using Windows 10 but unfortunately the engine does not appear to be working.

You need the whole content of the bin\x64\release\ folder, plus dotnet runtime (I think I remember the min required version is 8.0.something; I downloaded 8.0.11). Worked on Win11 for me. Thanks Dann for having shared your data.
Tip: use cmd, change directory to your installed Lizard files, and run the .exe from there. This enables checking the potential errors displayed in the cmd window.
