Chess engine: Black Marlin 1.0 NNUE




Black Marlin - UCI engine, Author: Doruk SEKERCIOGLU

First release of Black Marlin or BM for short.
Features:
Supports the UCI Protocol
NNUE trained on self-play
Classical Alpha Beta Search that supports LazySMP

NNUE:
The Neural Network comes embedded in the binary, and can't be deactivated. Due to major differences in design, Black Marlin neural networks can't/most likely won't be compatible with other engines' neural networks.

Search:
The search supports usage of multiple threads. The optimal number is most likely the amount of threads your CPU supports however a larger Hash will be required. An Elo gain of ~80 can be expected for each thread doubling.
