M1 Apple Silicon for Chess?

[jshriver]

Hi acepoint,

Some other open source strong chess engines to compile for Silicon M1:

Toga III 0.3: https://www.patreon.com/posts/50193195
Night Nurse: https://www.patreon.com/posts/night-nurse-0-4b-46830152
Dark Horse: https://www.patreon.com/posts/dark-horse-0-3-47913036
Fire 8.1: https://chesslogik.wixsite.com/fire/download

I'll try to compile them, too

Regards, AlexChess

I will give a try for these as well for 64bit arm linux. Sorry no Mac yet

Thank you Josh!

I've been following the Cerebellum library a while now, even wrote some python code to work on creating training data to try feeding and making my own neural net with it.

Interesting project.

Yes, on my engine tournaments I'm using it as common polyglot opening library for all engines without their own opening library supporting this protocol. For the others not supporting .bin (only on Arena Windows) I instead use the very old but reliable HS-Book.abk by Harry Schnapp

Only Fire is source code (I already thought so when reading the links), the others are a binary and known nets. For Fire and Brainfish I have to adjust the makefile, this will last a day or two due to lack of time.

Another strong open source challenger (and challenge to compile for Silicon M1) for Acepoint
LCfish NNUE

Sorry, it seems that LcFish is only an April 1 joke.
