Chess engine: Black Marlin 5.0 NNUE




Black Marlin - UCI engine, Author: Doruk SEKERCIOGLU
Rating CEDR=2983

Black Marlin 5.0 is noticeably more optimized than 4.0, comes with various improvements to the search function and uses the HalfKP feature set for NNUE evaluation. The network has been trained on 820M positions which is composed of the dataset used to train 4.0 neural networks and a newly generated one. The neural network is embedded in the executable, so no additional work is required.
In self play, Black Marlin 5.0 is ~125 Elo stronger than Black Marlin 4.0 at short time controls (8+0.08).

The binaries require the instructions in their names (e.g. blackmarlin-popcnt-avx2.exe will require popcnt and avx2 instructions).

Binaries Ordered by Runtime Performance:

AVX512F + POPCNT
AVX2 + POPCNT
SSE4.2 + POPCNT
SSSE3 + POPCNT
