Rodent V 1.1 - new version chess engine



Rodent - UCI chess engine, Author = Pawel Koziol (Poland) & Bernhard C. Maerz (Germany)
Rating Chess Engines Diary CEDR=2978

Rodent V 1.1 what's new?
This is an unusually fast second release, but we have a few good reasons to do it:

two solid algorithm improvements (new history gravity formula and scaling NNUE eval against remaining material)
discovering that a NNUE adjusted by training on Anand's games is better than default
considerably reducing memory footprint
adding UCI_Elo option, so that you can play against a weaker versions of personalities
fixing NNUE access for personalities
adding user manual
Rodent gained about 70 Elo in a week, and should be at 3470 CCRL at short time control.
