New version chess engine: Colossus 2025a


Colossus
- UCI chess engine, Author: Martin Bryant
Rating Chess Engines Diary CEDR=2826

v. 2025a
t is a 64-bit Windows executable which should run on any modern PC as it does not use any extended instruction sets like AVX. I have no plans for a Macintosh, Unix or Android version.
My tests indicate an improvement of about 15 - 20 ELO.
Apologies in advance for any outstanding bugs! If you have any problems, questions, comments, suggestions, games etc please email me here. Also apologies if I am slow (or non-existent) in responding, it just seems impossible to keep up sometimes!
Next steps may include NNUE and a whole bunch of other things... but I have no idea how long that will take!
