Added a linker option to strip the binaries.
Replaced the nn parameter file for halfkp_256x2-32-32.

  1. Can someone explain to non experts just what is a NNUE engine, & how do you use them?

  2. NNUE uses a database from machine learning (the NN stands for neural network= the machine equivalent to a human brain)to update the program's move weights so it can use "memories" of previous played games to navigate through playing games instead of hard computations. The UE means that in order to make the program stronger (or smarter) they can update the database and give the program more or better "experience" playing chess. But this takes a significant amount of time. they've found an efficient way to do this.
