Last Update: 13.10.2023


Hello Chess Friends,


As usually, I'm very pleased to announce that,

I managed to organize two new competitions...

The first testing is Bullet, 2nd under Blitz cond.

Btw, previous testings can be viewed: Results


To be more clear about recent engine tourneys,

Bullet test is played at 1min+0.6sec and consists

800 games (per player), where Blitz test played 

Via 3m+1s and consists 600 games (per player)


    Well, before starting these tests..I was wondering 

    Will there be significant Elo improvement or not..

Between the current official chess engine releases...

    As alternative, Stockfish101023 dev is played too!


And here are latest new produced eng tour results, 

Btw, as I stated recently here no much Elo gain, sure

We see some improvements, but mainly since 2022..

But in latest months, Elo progress is almost dead!

If nothing else under these test conditions, right ?


     In other words, I can summarize it (if close to 3750 Elo),

Via strong openings: forget about much Elo's progress !!
