Hi there,

1.
Little Goliath Evolution 3.15.3 NN
by Michael Borgstädt (Germany) ... it seems clearly stronger as 3.15 NN.
Version 3.15.3 used the same "net".

Miracles (a return of the result) rarely happen !

Hi Sylwy,

yes, in two of the first 40 games from my tourney engine crashed 4-5 moves before mate (without resign-mode).
Strength seems to be weaker, yes!!
Thank you for your test!

...

BTW: A new release!

Hi Sylwy,

yes, strong results for the first games here also for Velvet 3.2.0 NN.



Back to LG Evolution:
I switched today some eMails with Michael Borgstaedt. Michael is working hard on Goliath and fixed some bugs again. He is working on NN with full power. Very sure that stronger versions will be soon available. Goliath is a wonderful engine and absolutely nice to have.

I will test the engine for my "FCP Tourney-KI" later in March.
Have fun with all the great developments these days are available for us.
