Hello Chess Friends,
I am pleased to announce that,I've organized new handicapped competition!In short, it's similar tourneys as 2019 / 2018
Meanwhile,I plan another new series of handicapped tours!Where the opponents will be close to GMs levelAnd next time,I hope to test more Top engines in handicapped mode!More info very soon...
More details about the current played tour:This time Stockfish 170121 BMI2 is played:- Without 8 (eight) Pawns- Without 1 (one) Rook- Without 2 (two) pieces: Bishop and Knight- Without 4 (four) Pawns plus without Bishop- Without 4 (four) Pawns plus without Knight- Without 2 (two) Knights
Btw, I used to play the same Stockfish version,Which. managed to win the recent: NNUE CS IVAs Opponents,I've picked the engines mainly at around 1600-2000 EloAs usual, I played the ones which are capable to ponder...As you know, chess is thinking in the opponent's turn!)
Note also that,Stockfish 170121 is tested as NNUE and NON-NNUEAnd the overall SF's played results are published as:Stockfish HC NNUE = via nn-62ef826d1a6d.nnueStockfish HC = played without any EvalFileHC = HandiCapped
As final conclusion (under these handicapped conditions):It seems, Stockfish HC's strength is close to 1800 Elo pointsAlso, the overall Draw percentage is incredibly very low...Plus we have new data to compare NNUE vs NON NNUE!And as we see,No any influence in strength progress via SF + EvailFile!
