Trouble with the new Arasan 23.1

[jdart]

Hi Jon.

My tests show that arasan-d9-10-20211029.nnue (23.1) is clearly worse than arasan-d8-9-20210827.nnue (23.0.1).
The speed gain of 23.1 seems to be bigger in the Linux build than in the Windows build so it is eaten up by the bad network in the Windows build but not (completely) in the Linux one.

Yes, in my testing so far the old network + the new code shows some improvement, but not the new network + new code.

I can confirm what Jon says here forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=76209&start=910#p913626
that the arasan-d9-10-20211029.nnue in the now updated 23.1 windows zip is different from the one that I downloaded 3 weeks ago and that 23.1 with the updated and correct network plays a lot stronger.
