Hi,
I never used Cerebellum in the past, but now I would like to have it but can't download it from:
https://zipproth.de/Brainfish/
Does anyone knows what happened?
Was it superseded by something better?

thanks

Yes it was superseeded by the NNUE development ;-)

Anyhow here you have a working wayback link for the last offered Cerebellum from 2020/09.
Generally you should always check wayback first for dead downloads.

The direct link works perfectly (for me, at least ):

A „throll“ is who can‘t click on a link.

Hmm, the top navi links on the webpage seem broken in my FireFox:

you should add "/" to the url:

no more 404.

Note the Cerebellum library was dead on arrival, Ed Schroder was able to create a book that would aim for Cerebellum's book holes and beat it, showing Cerebellum wasn't more useful than downloading the latest tournament book released by someone competing at Playchess (anybody using Cerebellum there would get destroyed) generous enough to share their work.

If you want true superseding you want this:

https://www.chessdb.cn/queryc_en/

You can have on demand the best move of most positions. Oh, you may have noticed that it has shown d4 is equal to most other opening moves, and e4 is barely better. Chess has died.

There's some chess engines that allow real time querying of chessdb so you can use it as an opening book like Cerebellum (but one self updated to improve), though I don't know what engines are the latest ones with that.

Many thanks for you all.
Ovyron that was a tip I didn't know of, thx.

That (super small) book only worked for for Cerebellum. It lost against all other books. It was just a way to show you can beat any book with limited move choices.
