Chess engine: CuckooChess 1.13 (java)

 


Peter Österlund:

"I wanted to test how good Java is at evaluating neural networks, so I ported the NN code I use in Texel to CuckooChess. As expected the performance is really bad compared to hand-optimized C++ code using SIMD intrinsics.

Consequently CuckooChess 1.13 is 10 to 15 times slower (NPS) than the previous CuckooChess version, and 20 to 25 times slower than Texel. It is still quite a bit stronger than the previous CuckooChess version, at least at bullet and blitz time controls.

Maybe some people will find it interesting to have an engine with a decent evaluation but very weak tactical abilities, so I am releasing this test as CuckooChess 1.13. "
