Clover 4.1 Latest
@lucametehau lucametehau released this 2 hours ago

After 1 month, new release is here. I expect it to be around 30-50 elo stronger than previous version. It has many compilation fixes, especially for Mac.
Besides the usual search tweaks, Clover now has a 5 king buckets arch, which gained pretty nice (15-20 elo).

Other than that, Clover is now part of the Engine Programming OB instance, which has massively sped up its progress. Many many thanks to these guys: @archishou, @crippa1337, @dede1751, @spamdrew128, @Alex2262, @cosmobobak, @Adam-Kulju, @GediminasMasaitis, @uwuplant, @Ciekce, @JouanDeag.

And of course, don't forget to report any possible bugs!

Clover 5.0
@lucametehau lucametehau released this 19 minutes ago


New release is here! I expect again something around 40-50 elo stronger than last version.
Network arch is the same sadly, since other net arches require more data, which I can't really generate due to being out of space.
Next release might come after a long time, since I am at the same time starting uni in september.

This release also supports Fischer Random Chess! I have yet to train on DFRC games for a stronger FRC performance.

Anyway, have fun and report any bugs

Clover 6

New release is here! Progress is slowing down a bit and it will continue to do so, as uni time is coming soon .

Nevertheless, Elo gains are decent in standard chess, 35-40 self-play Elo, which hopefully translates nice vs other engines.
In (D)FRC, gains are massive, around 145-150 Elo!!
Aaaand, as requested, Clover now supports Ponder! Although, I am 95% sure it works, I'd rather get some external feedback on it

Some notes about changes:

New network arch with 1024x2 neurons for L2, trained on DFRC data, which is the main reason the DFRC gains are so massive.
Various search changes and some cleanups
That's it for now, have fun trying Clover and report any bugs!
