BlackCore is a UCI compatible c++ chess engine written from scratch, capable of completing high performance tasks. Rating CEDR=3114 Author: Szil Balazs
During the development of v5.0 the previous NNUE trainer was rewritten in plain c++ to support multi-threading which should significantly cut down the training time (1 week->1-3 days) as I don't have any GPU resources. This allows me to experiment with different ideas and hopefully make a new net, that actually gains elo.
A critical bug in the repetition detection was fixed and many aspects of the search and the transposition table were improved. Huge portion of the codebase was documented and cleaned up.
The new version also supports the Syzygy tablebase using Fathom.
Estimated elo on 1 thread: 3150-3250
Estimated elo on 4 threads: 3200-3300
Feel free to contact me with any questions or problems regarding BlackCore. For choosing a binary please see the installation section in the readme.
