Since you’re here...

... we have a small favour to ask. More people, like you, are reading and supporting our blog: "Chess Engines Diary". And unlike many other sites and blogs, we made the choice to keep our articles open for all, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay.

We hope you will consider supporting us today. We need your support to continue to exist, because good entries are more and more work time. Every reader contribution, however big or small, is so valuable. Support "Chess Engines Diary" even a small amount– and it only takes a minute. Thank you.

Chess engine: Halogen 8.0 and NNUE


Halogen - UCI chess engine
Author: Kieren Pearson  Rating JCER=2707

 In self testing, Halogen 8 is approximately 200 elo stronger than Halogen 7.
Halogen 8 features a larger neural network than was contained in Halogen 7, but due to improvements and optimisations runs significantly faster. The current network was trained using a private neural network trainer written in C by @AndyGrant. I can't thank Andrew enough for the work he has done to support the development of Halogen.

As always, multiple builds are provided below. Halogen8-x64-AVX2.exe is recommended if it will run on your computer. Ideally, download each exe and run each with a bench command and use the one with the highest nodes per second (nps).

It is not recommended that you compile it yourself because it is currently experiencing significant slowdowns in multithreaded mode when compiled with gcc.
