@connormcmonigle connormcmonigle released this 18 Nov 04:38

This release should resolve some of the previous release's UCI compatibility issues. This release, in self play, adds around +250 elo, but early results seem to indicate significantly less improvement against other engines. About 15-30 elo originates from improvements to the search. The remaining elo gain is accounted for by more careful training and testing of the network.

With this release, the engine will refuse to run if not supplied with a network and will print an error such as the following prior to exiting when the user issues the go command:

error: weight signature mismatch
got f21c3cd7, expected c2355852

As with the previous release, the network architecture and training code are all original. However, the network is still trained on Stockfish self play data. With any luck, this will be the final release for which this is the case as my tabula rasa self play training seems to be in a tentatively working state.
