cutechess can do the exact same thing : send go ponder and just after ponderhit. Seems it is related to very near mate situation

Maybe it's because when it's the opponent's turn, it's an instant move (as it was also pondering), so it's a very fast sequence. I don't know, just thinking what may be the reason.

Engine A plays a move and starts pondering
Engine B starts thinking
Engine B plays a move and starts pondering, but engine A answers that move with another move instantly, as it guessed the Engine B's move

I'm glad to release today Minic 3.09 with some bug fixes and a new embedded net named "nidicolous nighthawk".

https://github.com/tryingsomestuff/Mini ... s/tag/3.09

This net plays quite good FRC chess and is a little stronger than negligible nystagmus at standard chess.

As always, binaries are here : https://github.com/tryingsomestuff/Mini ... ter/Minic3 (and nets there https://github.com/tryingsomestuff/NNUE-Nets if needed).

Have fun.

Great! As soon as Banksia fixes the chess 960 support I will put it in my tournament

Minic 3.04 is still the best version, I will replay this 1800 game match with the standard evaluation as Minic 3.04x

Thanks for the test. I'm not sure to understand your last sentence. Minic 3.04 was tested HCE or with a net ?

I am pretty sure I tested 3.04 with the right NN, but looking at the results (since 3.04 is still best) it makes me doubt. Hence I replay 3.04 with HCE to be sure. And so far as the current result indicates it looks like 3.04 was tested with NN. It comes nowhere near to the 3110 elo it has on the GRL.
