Re: New engine releases & news H2 2025
Hello Patrick,
it is interesting to observe the ongoing changes in search. Yet another thing that keeps us glued to the screen.
Thank you, new for me ... will be a good computer chess weekend I think with Lunar 0.3.0.
Sure that Jim Ablett will see that!

Rebel-Extreme 1.1
REBEL-EXTREME 1.1 is our new STYLE engine where the focus is on playing style and ELO has a less priority. Nevertheless the engine has an estimated CEGT rating of 3350 elo.

90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Re: New engine releases & news H2 2025
OliThink 5.11.9 has been released.
Now, it is not only the smallest version ever with 1291 lines of code, it is also the strongest so far.
The engine is still not using any external library, nor precomputed data like EGTB, Texel-Tuning or NNUE.
Additionally there have been quite a number of changes in protocol handling because of some smaller issues when playing on lichess.org.
