Schneckbert - UCI Chess Engine Author: Nikolas Windheuser Author: "I am releasing the first Version of Schneckbert in order to take part in the CCRL.  There are no specific goals met, i just decided that i wanted to release Schneckbert. The executables are self-contianed and do not require a .NET runtime on your device. Thanks to jw1912 for providing the bullet NNUE trainer (https://github.com/jw1912/bullet) which i used to train the Net Schneckbert v1.0 uses. v.3.0: Elo increase within this month were big enough for a release, so here it is. NNUE arch grew to (768hm -> 768)x2 -> 1x8, trained on selfgen data as always. Most elo-gains were realized through more data and training a bigger net, only ~25-ish are from moveordering or search tweaks. +75 elo ltc, +100 elo stc Schneckbert 3.0 vs other engines: Bitbit 1.3 6/6 +6 6 Games Aramis 1.4.0 JA 5.5/6 +5 6 Games Deep Blunder 1.2.0 JA 4/6 +2 6 Games Beef 0.3.6 JA 3.5/6 +1 6 Games Demolito 2025-01-28 3.5/6 +1 6 Games Astra 5.0 0...
