PZChessBot 7.0 - new version chess engine



PZChessBot is a basic negamax engine.
Author: Kevin Lu Rating CEDR=3560

v.7.0 What's Changed

After 3 months of development since v6.1, we are very proud to announce PZChessBot v7.0.

Major changes include:
A completely new NNUE architecture with multiple layers
Several optimizations to speed up PZChessBot
DFRC and FRC support
PGO at compilation for a modest speedup
Syzygy WDL tablebase support
The NNUE is provided for those who wish to compile, but you do not need to download it to run PZChessBot.

Estimated Elo: ~3700 CCRL Blitz, 3570 CCRL 40/15. Should be slightly stronger than Stormphrax 6.0.0 based on H2H testing
