CCRL Discussion Board

My name is Michal. Over last year I was developing a new chess engine from scratch. Version 0.7 finally qualifies for CCRL testing, as I dropped any external dependencies (except from TB probing code) and implemented my own neural network for evaluation. Would it be possible to run some CCRL tournaments so it gets assigned "official" rating?

Source code and Windows executables are available on Github: https://github.com/Witek902/Caissa

Estimated Elo: 3100

I am using 256mb hash plus 1 core, but for 4CPU testing (assuming Caissa is SMP), I'll need to use 1024mb hash and set cores to 4.

Yes, I'm planning to add FRC support soon.

FRC support implemented in version 1.1: https://github.com/Witek902/Caissa/releases/tag/1.1

Estimated CCRL 40/2 FRC rating: 3270

I only tested under cutechess-cli so there can be bugs.

Let me know when you've got them so that I can delete them.

I got them. My suspicion is castling moves in PV line. After adding Chess960 support, they are now reported as "e1h1" for instance, instead of "e1g1". I have to fix it. I wonder what happens if casting is reported as best move...
