Logfile? Error messages? Reproducable? Without more Information neither the author nor I can do anything.

Are you sure you have the new versions from https://acepoint.de/more-honey/ ? I just downloaded and run

Code: Select all

./Black-Diamond-v13.1 bench
without problems.

Where could I find the binary? Please add the link :-)

Here is the binary for Zahak 3.0 for M1: https://github.com/amanjpro/zahak/relea ... -arm64-3.0
Ok on Mac M1, I'll test also the Windows 10 version. Where are you from? (to add the engine flag on BanksiaGUI 😉)

Someone has a Clubhouse invitation for me? We could start a Talkchess Chess Engines meeting room (if It doesn't exist already 🙂)

I usually prefer the Kurdish flag, it is not a country though, so you might not be able to find the flag in Banksia GUI.

I have searched the app folder, but it's not easy to insert new flags, so I have chosen Earth flag :) I'll add it in Arena Windows 10

Congratulations, I would like to be a skilled programmer like you.

So EXP56 is your latest compiled Stockfish-slim with new NNUE-fat nn-7756374aaed3.nnue ?

https://tests.stockfishchess.org/api/nn ... aaed3.nnue

I have found only the Windows 10 binary with the 49 MB NNUE embedded, now I try SLIM on macOS M1.


Thank you!

Hi Acepoint,
Considering the Silicon M1 architecture, what is the best configuration of "CPU for every GPU", using BanksiaGUI 0.44?

Thank you!

Hi Acepoint,
Could you also try to compile Cfish Night Nurse and Cfish Dark Horse for M1 NEON? They are very strong on Windows 10 ARM64
