I'm thrilled to announce version 1.3.0 of Renegade! 🚀
This release includes dozens of patches, including staged move generation, history pruning, fractional reductions, and a large number of refinements made to existing heuristics. The engine now also manages time better, and spends more time on difficult moves.
The neural network architecture is unchanged, but its training dataset had been entirely regenerated, significantly improving the data quality. The current network was trained on 8.4 billion positions from 91 million games.
As a result of these improvements, this version is up to 90 elo stronger in standard chess, and should scale better to longer time controls as it was tuned across 130 thousand games.
Once again, I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out or shown interest in this project!
