Luminex - a UCI chess engine written in C++23. All evaluation values are self-engineered from chess first principles. Author: Cheng Chang  Rating CEDR=2588 Luminex what's new? Every release binary now carries the network inside it, so each one plays with NNUE when run by itself. Until now the network was a separate download, and a binary started without the file beside it, as rating-list testers often run engines, used the hand-crafted evaluation instead. Playing strength is unchanged from v6.5.0. Highlights Built-in network (#34): each binary carries luminex_sfq_i8.nnue, the network since v6.3.0, and loads it at the first isready or go. There is no file to place and no option to set. Other networks still load through NNUEFile: give it a path, and the file is looked for as given, then next to the binary. Left at its default name, or empty, NNUEFile selects the built-in network. The hand-crafted evaluation stays one switch away: set UseNNUE to false. Faster first network layer (#29...
