Hi there,

this could be very interesting.
Crafty sources are free available.

Bob Hyatt will like that, think so!

Look up Vafra, not sure if Bob likes it.
90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Here is where you can download Vafra https://chessengines.blogspot.com/2019/ ... ne-by.html
By the way how strong is Fisherov 0.98d NNUE - New Version.

Hi Ed, Chessqueen,

thank you!
But download link is not working for me.

Important in case of Crafty is: Bob must be happy with it.
Without a happy Bob I will not test it.
Or I have a discussion with him again (Bionic, ElChinito in the past).

Maybe on GitHub can start a Crafty NN project with blessings from Bob?
Can be an order for a young programmer.

Not a lot of things I can answer with confidence, but this one I can :) .

He'd absolutely hate it. Such a release would also violate Crafty's unusual license as jdart already pointed out.

Well Thats Probably True...What I would Like to have instead of Crafty NNUE would be 2-3 items....NNUE .Bins .nnue files
1. a 20mb Crafty NN.bin based on Crafty Chess Games Only....(Old and New Games will work)
2. A set of Crafty NNUE files based on Crafty's Chess Games Only....
3. A Crafty (FAT) NNUE File Based on Crafty's Chess Engine Games Only
Methinks That would do the trick....Training NN and NNUE nets based on Crafty's games only.....I don't think anyone has done that yet....Thx AR :) :wink:
