Breaking News (21.10.2023): Current championship ended..congratulations and many thanks to all authors! Finely SF-Poly lost the lead where Stockfish 220823 sl managed to be Champ!! Yes..a great performance..and it seems the pre-learned EXP played some role.. E.g if comparing Stockfish sl No Exp vs Stockfish 220823 sl: 8 Elo difference.. Frankly, I'm impressed a lot by Stockfish 220823 sl' learning, stability influence... E.g as far as I noticed its all learned moves are played in auto (as RapTora 2.2) On other hand, if we check all the rest played new engines..we will notice that Mostly of them are close in strength...so here under these cond. it is clear that No much Elo progress (sure in latest months) and now I wonder: who will pay My electricity bills ?)) just joking...you may know...over the past years.I do this Job all for free..even donation I never requested..because I love Chess much, The rest it does not matter at all... sure I respect and give understanding who Work commercially etc. because the life is not so cheap..at least where I live ) Thank you for your interest...see you in next toıurs )
The Champion Stockfish 220823 sl Congratulations to Eduard Nemeth, SF team!

• Calculated by Bayeselo / Stockfish 12 is fixed to 3676 / Blue Name = Last Update
More Details• Almost all of NNUE engines are AVX2, tested via their default Evalfiles• All of current matches are played via Balsa and Unique opening suites For more fair conditions: each of the opening line is repeated as twice• Sure where possible: all of engines are played via move overhead: 100 As far as I've noticed so far (as usually): no any game to be lost on time• The overall draw percentage (based on 26400 games) not so high: 78%• All the played tournament games are available (in PGN) NNUE XXXVIII
Meanwhile (for anyone missed) my previous postings regarding current tour:Just another new championship is started.. in similar testing way as XXXVI Exc this time: plus Unique suite is used to play (in case of close to 3750 Elo) Just out of curiosity, two former Champs (RapTora and SF-Poly) played too! Btw, we can't expect much from RapTora 2.2, since it's already too old-dated.. But SF-Poly 220723 is managed to be Number One!! again with great score!! Yes.. via this tour: the strongest engines say as last word...no more.. no less! Frankly here I expected the newer to be Winner..but not always this happens.. At least under these cond. actually no BIG surprise.. because NNUE is dead.. In case of SF Elo improvements via strong opening suites...for more: Details By the way, the competition is still active..very soon more entries are coming.. E.g one of them: BrainLearn 26, Stockfish 230823 sl (other former Champion) Plus many other strong chess engines of 3750 Elo will be participated as well One thing more, this competition as NNUE enabled.. why I mention...because Some may have confusions..(after checking the current produced draw-ratio) And who said that Balsa is Drawish?) as we see...it is all in our hands, right? Ok friends..please stay tuned.. and soon as possible more updates coming !
