New Chess Engine: Aramis

[Federico-Saitta]

- Aramis and it is on version v1.3.0
- About 2250 ELO
- My name is Federico Saitta and I’m from Italy
- The engine is open source and code and release versions can be found here:
https://github.com/FedericoSaitta/Chess-Engine-in-cpp

By default it uses a 256 Mb hash, the engine is single-threaded

Can you please provide a Windows exe for AVX2?

[Gabor Szots]

Could you put it under 'Releases' together with exes and sources so that everyone can find it easily.

[Federico-Saitta]

I’m currently cross compiling the code and I’m not too sure how to target AVX2 specifically other than do so in the CMake file. I will try again in a few hours. Just wondering, is it an error or simply a perfomance loss what you are encoutnering?

EDIT: I have just uploaded a new .exe file that hopefully should be okay, it is built using x64 using AVX2 flags. It is up in the repository now

Aramis v1.4.0 is out, it is about 100 ELO stronger (180 +- 15 ELO from self-play) . New release and info about it can be found here: https://github.com/FedericoSaitta/Chess-Engine-in-cpp.

Aramis v1.3.0 has also been re-released due to a small bug which caused the engine to print out the depth info only once the search is over.
Thanks for testing my engine
