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: Lc0 0.28.0-rc1 (Windows and Android)


new:
Multigather is now made the default (and also improved). Some search settings
have changed meaning, so if you have modified values please discard them.
Specifically, max-collision-events, max-collision-visits and
max-out-of-order-evals-factor have changed default values, but other options
also affect the search. Similarly, check that your gui is not caching the old
values.
Performance improvements for the cuda/cudnn backends.
Support for policy focus during training.
Larger/stronger 15b default net for all packages except android, blas and dnnl
that get a new 10b network.
The distributed binaries come with the mimalloc memory allocator for better
performance when a large tree has to be destroyed (e.g. after an unexpected
move).
The legacy time manager will use more time for the first move after a long
book line.
The --preload command line flag will initialize the backend and load the
network during startup.
A 'fen' command was added as a UCI extension to print the current position.
Experimental onednn backend for recent intel cpus and gpus.
