new version: rofChade 3.1

[Ronald]

It's been a while, but I've finally managed to create a new rofChade version, 3.1

After multiple nn architecture experiments, this version uses a (2x768)x8x1 architecture, trained with around 10B positions with multiple recalculations during the last 1,5 year. This version also has multiple search changes, other hashtable structure and some other tweaks.

Many thanks go to Ipmanchess and Frank Quisinsky who have tested multiple intermediate versions.

And thanks to everybody who likes computer chess!

The version can be downloaded from the download section of the rofChade website. I've created versions for Windows, Linux, RPI and Apple Silicon.

I wish you a nice good day.

I just wanted to download this version 3.1 for my older PC and found that there are
no longer any sse versions that were still available with version 3.0. Could you please
make these available as well?

I would be very happy about it.

Because of the multiple nn architecture experiments, a stopped to update the older SSE code after a while to support the different architectures. At the moment the SSE versions give wrong results, so I have to dive into it, to support the current architecture. I wasn't sure if the SSE versions still were used, because AVX2 has been introduced long time ago... I will try to look into it probably this weekend, and post a message when it's done.

Hi Ronald,

How do I download the RPi version, clicking on anything in downloads doesn’t work for me?

Thanks,

Al.

rofChade works superbly on my Mac !!
It's great that such a powerful chess engine is available for Macs with Apple Silicon CPU.

Ronald, thank you very much.
