Strong Malt is our second guest engine. Single Malt is a cooperate HCE chess engine written by Bart Weststrate and Hans Secelle rated about 2300 elo. I was asked by Jeroen Noomen if I could introduce NNUE programming to them.
Instead I said to them, I can do the same job for you as I did with Shredder 13 as long as you do the main job playing those millions of self play games with Single Malt. And so 16 million games were played at depth=6 by Bart, Hans and Albrecht Heeffer, good for a NNUE based on 1.2B positions. Strong Malt is
rated 3250 - 3300 elo. In the meantime Bart and Hans are already working on an update.
Jeroen Noomen playing with his opening book and at longer time control rated the engine
at 3350 elo.
