Hopefully 1-2 months, if all goes well.

What I believe for Patricia is - supporting Syzygy could do wonders for unnecessary sacrifices - for some reason she doesn't understand the "going to endgame" situations when she goes into the void of sacrificing everything.

Hello friends, it's been a while.
Patricia now supports tablebases, and I've reworked the "human mode" to be more aggressive when playing against weak opponents.
Data generation, as usual, has been the bane of my existance. It took me several attempts to create a large dataset even nearing that of my old one, and I generally think I need to be a lot more rigorous in how I test data generation changes because it really does seem like much of my work has simply gone to waste.

I'm quite busy but am grinding out work on Patricia steadily. The release of Patricia 5 is delayed until the release of a stronger network, however rest assured that she is much stronger than 4.0 already...
