'''Stockfish NNUE''',<br/>
a Stockfish branch by [[Hisayori Noda|Nodchip]] which uses [[NNUE|Efficiently Updatable Neural Networks]] - stylized as '''ƎUИИ''' or reversed as '''NNUE''' - to replace its standard [[Stockfish#Evaluation|evaluation]].NNUE, introduced in 2018 by [[Yu Nasu]] <ref>[[Yu Nasu]] ('''2018'''). ''ƎUИИ Efficiently Updatable Neural-Network based Evaluation Functions for Computer Shogi''.

After support and announcements by [[Henk Drost]] in May 2020 <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74059 Stockfish NN release (NNUE)] by [[Henk Drost]], [[CCC]], May 31, 2020</ref>
and subsequent enhancements, Stockfish NNUE was established and recognized. In summer 2020, with more people involved in [[Engine Testing|testing]] and [[Learning|training]],
the computer chess community bursts out enthusiastically due to its rapidly raising [[Playing Strength|playing strength]] with different networks trained using a mixture of [[Supervised Learning|supervised]] and [[Reinforcement Learning|reinforcement learning]] methods. Despite the approximately halved search speed, Stockfish NNUE seemingly became stronger than its original <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74484 Can the sardine!

In July 2020, the playing code of NNUE is put into the official Stockfish repository as a branch for further development and examination. However, the training code still remains in Nodchip's repository <ref>[https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/issues/2823 NNUE merge · Issue #2823 · official-stockfish/Stockfish · GitHub] by [[Joost VandeVondele]], July 25, 2020</ref> <ref>[https://github.com/nodchip/Stockfish GitHub - nodchip/Stockfish: UCI chess engine] by [[Hisayori Noda|Nodchip]]</ref>.
