Nullstar 003
Initial public binary release of Nullstar, an experimental Windows x64 UCI chess engine by Jasper Sinclair.
Changes
- introduces the Set 006 768x256 NNUE network;
- embeds the network directly in each executable;
- includes MSVC and MinGW-w64 PGO and non-PGO builds;
- includes the complete NNUE training and embedding workflow.
Testing
10,000-game gauntlet against an approximately 2800-rated pool:
- 5099 wins, 1456 draws, 3445 losses
- 58.27%
- estimated rating: 2873
All six binaries passed UCI, readiness, termination, and deterministic benchmark verification.
For most modern Windows systems, begin with nullstar_mingw_avx2_pgo.exe or nullstar_msvc_pgo.exe. The native builds are intended for the build computer or a compatible processor.
See the repository documentation for checksums, build instructions, test conditions, network provenance, and training details.
