Yeah, just never implement NNUE and people will remain interested in your engine. Welcome.

I can see you have released your engine again under the same name as previously. The engine id has remained the same as well. I am very much afraid that this might cause confusion. How are we to distinguish between versions for a rating list, for example?

Dear Gabriel,

Let me point out some inconsistencies.

1. At 'Assets' there is a GOOB.exe.
2. At 'Assets' the 'Source code' zip file also contains a GOOB.exe (in the bin folder) which is different from the one above and gives different evaluation and time values when "go depth n' is issued.
3. Both exes tell me they are GOOB. No version number in the id. So which is which?

At least the source code compiles into an exe which gives the same evaluation as the one in the zip file.

You will understand that no serious testing is possible until we can at least tell one version from the other.
