Scratch Chess Engine - Game of Kings
yeah, I know… there's a bug somewhere that I haven't been able to fix. I know what doesn't work, I just don't know why lolhttps://turbowarp.org/1038827110?stuck and tell me what NPS you're getting? for me it's around 100k-110k.Its at 50K n/s for me, but it plays awful chess, not to insult you. hey, can someone with a fast system please try out this engine real quick
just a couple moves is enough, don't bother with a full game. something somewhere clearly isn't quite working, I'm thinking I probably broke some of the old code…
interesting that you and AZURUS both got 50k, makes me think there might be even more problems than I thought.
I don't think your system is actually half as fast as mine, there has to be another reason for that massive difference.
thanks a lot for the feedback

my own stupidity never fails to amaze me, that was such an obvious mistake…yeah, I know… there's a bug somewhere that I haven't been able to fix.

it should be fixed now. it still plays pretty bad positionally, but that's (more or less) by design. I'm still not sure why it would be so much slower on your system, would you mind giving it another try? I want to see if fixing that bug changed anything

300k midgame, 400k start board.
Your link activates warp timer setting (stuck); interestingly this does not seem to influence your engine. GoK would lose two plies with that one.

great! that's actually better than what I was hoping for, thanks for testing it!https://turbowarp.org/1038827110?stuck and tell me what NPS you're getting? for me it's around 100k-110k.Its at 50K n/s for me, but it plays awful chess, not to insult you. hey, can someone with a fast system please try out this engine real quick

about the warp timer setting, I work in turbowarp desktop, which has warp timer on by default and I've never really tried turning it off before. I didn't know that it could be a problem.
honestly the only reason I had that setting enabled in the link is to show the search progress thingy…

- 78k with the “?stuck” and with the turbo
- 104k without the “?stuck” and without turbo
- 120k without the “?stuck” and with the turbo
I'm faaaaaaaar away from the 400k that Arno has, but we all know that he has a whole datacenter to run our bots so it doesn't count…
Also, how can we changed the depth to 4 instead of 5 ?
As far as I know, using an odd number as limit depth is never a good idea

https://lichess.org/lePZmNOv#115I tried to replicate 19…Qd8?? and White Dove finished ply 7 and selected Qh5 at the last moment (turbo mode, warp timer for cleaner progress bar). GoK NNUE (Difficult, white) against Element (6+8), several blunders, one decisive, 91% vs. 80% accuracy:

Is White Dove running with Turbo Mode?
Element sees Bxh6 on depth 6

Quick question, I am currently planning to make a change to Element, but I want to change the second decimal digit to represent the update. What do I do?

Yes, I ran it on turbo mode. And when I just import the FEN, it also plays Qh5, easily within time. But try to import the board one move before that and replay two moves, and WD will go for Qd8. The transposition table might have an effect here.
I don't quite understand the last question though.

This is such a typical NNUE game, again GoK NNUE (10sec, black) vs. WD (P2), NNUE actually over-risking at move 16 (as it only would have seen the full implications at 42 sec), then sacrificing three pieces for position, knowing it will win several moves before WD does (again 94% vs 78% accuracy): https://lichess.org/mCbjnxAm#60
