[[Hisayori Noda|Nodchip]] incorporated NNUE into the chess playing [[Stockfish ]] 10 as a proof of concept.

despite the approximately halved search speed, becoming stronger than its original <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74484 Can the sardine! NNUE clobbers SF] by [[Henk Drost]], [[CCC]], July 16, 2020</ref>, finally responsible for the huge [[Playing Strength|strength]] improvement of '''Stockfish 12'''.

Being tempted by the success of [[Stockfish NNUE]] and attracted by how easy the method and small the code is, many engine developers have started testing and applying [[NNUE]]. For quick trials and evaluating before going into serious development, some of them borrowed and/or rewrote NNUE code and use networks from Stockfish NNUE. Most of them reported positive results, such as [[David Carteau]] with [[Orion]] <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74828 Orion 0.7 : NNUE experiment] by [[David Carteau]], [[CCC]], August 19, 2020</ref>, [[Ehsan Rashid]] with [[DON]] <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=72613&start=320#p856640 Re: New engine releases 2020...Don NNUE 2020?] by supersharp77, [[CCC]], August 19, 2020</ref>, various [[Stockfish#Derivatives|Stockfish derivatives]] by [[Michael Byrne]] <ref>[http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74825 ... the last shall be first ...] by [[Michael Byrne|MikeB]], [[CCC]], 19 Aug 2020</ref>, and [[Volodymyr Shcherbyna]] with [[Igel]] <ref>[http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=67890&start=10#p856742 Introducing Igel chess engine] by [[Volodymyr Shcherbyna]], [[CCC]], 20 Aug 2020</ref> using the ''Night Nurse'' NNUE net by [[Dietrich Kappe]] <ref>[http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74837 Night Nurse 0.2] by [[Dietrich Kappe]], [[CCC]], August 19, 2020</ref>. [[Daniel Shawul]] added NNUE support à la [[CFish]] into his [[Scorpio#Bitbases|egbbdll]] probing library of [[Scorpio]] <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=75400&start=22 Re: Hacking around CFish NNUE] by [[Daniel Shawul]], [[CCC]], October 15, 2020</ref> <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=75415&start=3 Re: How to scale stockfish NNUE score?] by [[Daniel Shawul]], [[CCC]], October 17, 2020</ref>, making it even easier to use NNUE. The promising engines [[Halogen]] 7 and 8 by [[Kieren Pearson]], and [[Seer]] by [[Connor McMonigle]] came with their own, distinct NNUE implementations, and on November 10, 2020, the commercial [[Dragon by Komodo Chess]] aka [[Komodo]] NNUE appeared <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=75748 Dragon by Komodo Chess] by [[Larry Kaufman]], [[CCC]], November 10, 2020</ref>, trying to close the gap to Stockfish NNUE.

The neural network of Stockfish NNUE consists of four layers, W1 through W4. The input layer W1 is heavily overparametrized, feeding in the [[Board Representation|board representation]] for various king configurations.
