Ceres, (Chess engine for research) an UCI compliant open source chess engine by David J. Elliott, written in C# for the Microsoft .NET 5 framework, released under the GPL version 3. Ceres provides an MCTS implementation with many novel algorithmic improvements and low level optimizations, searching over the Lc0 backends with the perspective of an enormous increase in playing strength over Lc0. As posted by Alexander Lyashuk on January 01, 2021, it is possible that Ceres will co-exist in parallel to Lc0 and LCZero developers will try to back-port new ideas, or LCZero developers will abandon Lc0 completely and switch to Ceres.
