Latest Update: 07.04.2022
Dear Chess Friends,
I'm pleased to announce that,
Here is another new competition...!
Some Notes,
I named it as GUI/Engine Testings...the reason I was wondering again
About both GUI influences, but this time as NON-NNUE testings...
E.g the previous GUI testings were as NNUE..and now just opposite
Plus now we have possibility to see latest engines via Bullet TC etc.
As players,
I picked the latest releases of 2022, which are less than 2 MB in size
Because, mostly of bigger ones in sizes come as NNUE embedded ..
GUI/Eng Testings III Champ: SF PB - Congrats to Skynet, SF Team!
Btw, SF PB is the Champion of NNUE XI and GUI/Eng Testings II too!
And here are the latest played results...

GAMES More Details, The Ratings are calculated by Ordo, Weiawaga is fixed to 2625 EloAll chess engines are participated as NON-NNUE (withot Evaifiles)
As Final Words,As far as I noticed, both chess GUIs and engines seems to be stable...Because no any serious bug issue is recorded...exc. several gamesLost on time, but these time loses are appeared only under Arena GUIBut I think that it's ok... due to fast time control is used: 30sec+ 0.5sec
Meanwhile, who said that Balsa openings are Drawish ?)E.g in this tour, the overall draw percentage is just 12%Yes..this is not as joke, in short, it all depends, the weakerEngines produce much less draw percentage for sure...But if only NNUE 3700+. then almost all games are draw!Sure I mean in case of test via strong openings...right ?)
Well, that's all for now...and thanks for your interest...)
Best,Sedat
