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: Velvet 4.1.0 NNUE


Velvet - UCI Chess Engine
Author: Martin Hornet, 
Rating CEDR (Chess Engines Diary Rating)=3199

It is based upon my previous web-based engine Wasabi, which can be played here.
Installation
x86_64-modern - recommended for recent CPUs from 2013 onwards (requires a CPU with support for the BMI1 instruction sets)
x86_64-popcnt - for older 64-Bit CPUs, which support the POPCNT instruction, but not BMI1
x86_64-vintage - for older 64-Bit CPUs, which support neither POPCNT nor BMI1

v.4.1.0
This release contains some search-related improvements
Self-play strength increase: ~ 40 Elo

Changes
Use counter and follow-up moves for history heuristics
Add multi-cut pruning
Adjust existing pruning logic
Restrict SEE-based reductions and pruning
Add jobs for automatically building macOS executables
Due to the lack of an ARM-based (Apple Silicon) computer, the new "apple-silicon" builds are untested.
