Chess engine: DanaSah 9.0 and NNUE


Danasah - UCI chess engine
Author - Pedro Castro, Rating CEDR=3084 (24.04.2022)

DanaSah - a Chess Engine Communication Protocol, and since version 6.1 UCI compatible open source chess engine under the GNU General Public License 3 by Pedro Castro, written in C, and first released in January 2005. Also, since DanaSah 6.1 in May 2016, Chess960 is supported, available as Windows, Linux and Android binary. DanaSah 8.8, released in April 2021, supports Stockfish compatible NNUE networks. source


Changed:
The engine can read NNUE-type neural networks. This gives a lot of strength.
The search has many changed parameters, but the strength with the classic evaluation is the same as the previous version.
There are changes to the limited strength version (although it is not included here).

Other minor changes.
dananet1.nnue --> This is the default network used by 8.8 version, it has been trained with 340 million positions with ccrl 40/2 games (learn by result) and then with 340 millon positions in depth 5 generated with the first net.
dananet2.nnue --> This is the default network used by 9.0 version, it has been trained with 340 millon positions in depth 9 generated with dananet1.

DanaSah 9.0 64-bit Elo CCRL 40/15 --> 3190
DanaSah 8.8 64-bit Elo CCRL 40/15 --> 3143
