CeylonDemon 3.0 - new version chess engine

 


CeylonDemon is a free UCI chess engine with Resonance, a dual-frame NNUE evaluator that reads every position through two feature transformers — one anchored on the side to move's own king, one on the opposing king — and reports the residual between them as an uncertainty signal the search consumes directly.
