Yeah, probably in next release I will integrate networks inside the executable as other engines do.

Training neural network on positions from FRC games paid off :) I hope 1.2 will manage to get to top 16

Caissa 1.3 released: https://github.com/Witek902/Caissa/releases/tag/1.3

Most gain visible in ultra-fast time controls and "X moves in Y time" time controls. Also some small gain in FRC.

For instance, in 1sec per whole game there's ~50 Elo gain compared to 1.2. That's only ~200 Elo less than Stockfish 15!
