Rapfi is now equipped with an NNUE (Efficiently updatable neural network) trained on games played by Katagomo. Although NNUE runs with a lower speed, its accuracy on evaluation brings notable strength improvement. Classical evaluation is improved via automatic tuning, and combines with NNUE in a hybrid way. Search and speed is also improved. This version is for the unlimited league. |
