Equisetum 1.30 JA - new chess engine (Windows, Android and Linux)



Equisetum - UCI chess engine written in C++11, by Rhys Rustad-Elliott and Litov Alexander
Rating Chess Engines Diary CEDR=3488  

Equisetum uses Fail-Hard AB-search and NNUE evaluation. This approach resulted in an engine of moderate strength. One of the few strong engines using a fail-hard approach

Equisetum uses an NNUE (efficiently updatable neural network) as an evaluation function.

## Strength
Current Equisetum is estimated to be somewhere before Stockfish 11 and Stockfish 12 strength.
