    notable improvement in performance, with an Elo gain of up to
    27 points and winning over 2 times more game pairs than it loses.
  * Updated neural network architecture: The neural network architecture
    has undergone two updates and is currently in its 8th version.
  * Removal of handcrafted evaluation (HCE): This release marks the
    removal of the traditional handcrafted evaluation and the transition
    to a fully neural network-based approach.
  * Dual NNUE: For the first time, Stockfish includes a secondary neural
    network, used to quickly evaluate positions that are easily decided.
  * Use NNUE and UCI_AnalyseMode have been removed as they no longer had
    any effect. SlowMover has also been removed in favor of Move Overhead.

- Update to 15.1:
  * Elo gain and competition results:
    With this release, version 5 of the NNUE neural net architecture
    has been introduced, and the training data has been extended to
    include Fischer random chess (FRC) positions. As a result, Elo
    gains are largest for FRC, reaching up to 50 Elo for doubly
    randomized FRC (DFRC). More importantly, also for standard chess
    this release progressed and will win two times more game pairs than
    it loses against Stockfish 15. 
  * New evaluation:
    This release also introduces a new convention for the evaluation
    that is reported by search. An evaluation of +1 is now no longer
    tied to the value of one pawn, but to the likelihood of winning the
    game. With a +1 evaluation, Stockfish has now a 50% chance of winning
    the game against an equally strong opponent. This convention scales
    down evaluations a bit compared to Stockfish 15 and allows for
    consistent evaluations in the future.

- update to 14.1:
  Compared to Stockfish 14, this release introduces a more advanced NNUE
  architecture and various search improvements. In self play testing, using a
  book of balanced openings, Stockfish 14.1 wins three times more game pairs than
  it loses. At this high level, draws are very common, so the Elo difference to
  Stockfish 14 is about 17 Elo
