New version chess engine: Avalanche 2.0.0 NNUE (Windows, Mac and Linux)


Avalanche - UCI (NNUE Chess Engine)
Author: SnowballSH  Rating CEDR=3224

v.2.0.0:
The list of things changed along with test results can be found here

Improvements:
More efficient TT storage, using atomic ordering. Significant when Thread > 1.
New perspective-aware NNUE architecture. Current net is xuebeng, trained on 600 million net008b (which is trained on 200 million v1.5.0 data) data. (+~100 elo)
Numerous search improvements (+~25 elo)
Eval scalings (+~10 elo)
Bug fixes (+~15 elo)
Overall, v2.0.0 is around 140-180 elo stronger than 1.5.0 during self-play. Combining with tests against Defenchess 2.2 shows Avalanche 2.0.0 is around 3320-3370 in CCRL Blitz and 4CPU 40/15, and about 3240-3290 in 1CPU 40/15.

Since this version, I am including binaries from v1 to v4. "v3" is about equivalent for "haswell" in previous releases. If you have a newer CPU, please try "v4," and if it crashes then use "v3". "v3" is likely to work on most modern (post-2013) CPUs.
