This is an experimental chess engine built on top of NARC engine codebase. The evaluator, Resonance, is a dual-frame NNUE original to CeylonDemon.
This engine was created as a part of my study project , explore different chess engine architectures, Training methods and Custom Training data corpuses. Because of that successive versions can be radically different from the current one.
Strength: 2719.5 ± 32.8, a locally transferred CCI-STC estimate at 10+0.1, 1 thread, 64 MB hash, over 320 games against 8 anchors.It is estimated around 3250 - 3350 on CCRL blitz scale(Note that this is a rough estimate based on CCI STC estimated rating).
Unique features of CeylonDemon 2.0.
