Patricia 2.0 is, per the EAS tool, unquestionably the most aggressive superhuman chess engine ever created (and the most aggressive engine of any kind that I currently know of).

She's also significantly stronger than her 1.0 version, with a larger net and several search features added in to make up for the loss in strength resulting from all the sacrifices.

Comparison of EAS testing of Patricia 1.0 and Patricia 2.0:

Details of what exactly Patricia's featureset is can be found in Patricia's README. The whole evaluation/evaluation adjustment function was scrapped and rewritten, and all search features aside from LMR, RFP, and NMP were added between 1.0 and 2.0.

Binaries

Linux and Windows binaries are found below. Use v3 (avx2) for most computers, and use v2 (SSE) for very old models. If you're not sure about which one to download, try v3 first.

If you have a machine that supports AVX512 or you want to compile from source for other reasons, you can easily build Patricia from source by running the commands:

git clone https://github.com/Adam-Kulju/Patricia
cd Patricia/engine
make -B

The executable patricia will be found in the current directory, that is, Patricia/engine.
