CFish - UCI chess engine, Rating CEDR=3513 "CFish, a port of Stockfish written in plain C by Ronald de Man, first published on GitHub in July 2016. Possibly inspired by the asmFish project to speed up Stockfish using a programming language closer to the machine, the purpose of CFish is to explore possible optimization issues of C versus C++ compilers" [Chess Programming Wiki].

Seer - UCI chess engine  Author: Connor McMonigle  Rating JCER=3256 (35 place) This release adds roughly 70 to 100 Elo in self play depending on the testing conditions. The majority of this increase in strength can be attributed to an improved network generated via self play training using the previous "retrograde learning" network used in versions 2.0.0 and 2.1.0 as a base. The specific self play code used can be found under the selfplay branch of the "seer-training" repository. The remaining 20 or so Elo originates from search patches. Seer 2.2.0 download

Description from the author:  My lockdown hobby was writing a chess engine, and learning Python and Rust in the process. Currently Odonata is available to play as a bot on Lichess, though Odonata only plays blitz and bullet games right now, as she's running on my media centre, and Netflix stutters if she's thinking too hard... I started Decemeber 2020. Python and Rust are very different from Java, which I had programmed maybe 10 years previous. Certainly my first efforts at Rust are not very clean, clever or idiomatic, but the code improves as I revist areas to build improvements. I'm aware that this is now yet another chess engine, with yet another set of Python bindings. In part this is because the project was intended as a learning exercise, but also there did not appear to be a Python native extension available. v.0.3.26: 180 Elo improvement from 0.3.17 Futility pruning Null move pruning Multi-threading (still experimental) Command-line switches for benchmarking and per...
