Breaking News (23.06.2024): 1st of all, thanks to all authors..without you: these tours would not exist !! Yes another new CS is organized...and as players of 3770+ participated.. What is new (via current tour)? only 1 (one) engine per author/s allowed And instead of Balsa this time Unique openings are used..and as we see, Any engine performance depends on our used cond e.g via Balsa suite LI If we are looking for eng improvements... the situation is 'piteous' for sure, Where via Unique suite, it's clear that there is serious improvement, right? And in same time that means via strong openings is 'worthless' to organize 3770+ tours, because the electricity is not cheap in my area, where I live..) And without to not mention this I can not as well, some people prefer to say Such as Perfect, Balsa openings are Drawish Btw, maybe Top engines are Too Drawish? Who knows ?) However they suggest to be used other books Suites..usually, they suggest the very weak suites..sure no problem..anyone Is free to run, to use any opening, engine as he wish...But however, these 'Clever' experts are missing one small point, if via handicapped, weak suite: 1st They always forget to mention that these opening suites are very weak! 2nd for right, correct Elo measurements are required thousands of games Per player..that's it..no more no less and 3rd I hope my postings will be useful.. On other hand, Skynet's engine is as 'BEAST' under these tournament cond! And frankly soımetimes I wonder...(since SF-PB is based/derived from SF) How can be possible that SF-PB is performing better than its mother (SF) ? Sure I'm not a programmer, but looks like SF-PB is came from other planet.. And destroyed everything on field..reality is reality..!! Btw for anyone missed, SF-PB has tiny size, capable to use BIN, in short, what we can need more?) Where its real mother (SF) has no such great futures...sad...but very old SF Vers. were capable to use BIN...(if I'm not wrong up to SF5 were capable...) In other words, actually the wheel goes forward, not backward, but whatever.. And more strange, mostly Top ones which are considering as original (sure I mean for NON-SF based engines), they are not capable to use BIN too )) And my 6th strong sense says if SF will start to use BIN, they will start too ) Meanwhile, for detailed information about current tour OpenChess and Goi

• Calculated by Bayeselo / SFNNv6 is fixed to 3770 / Blue Name = Last Update
More Details:• For better, stable performance: HT (SMT) + Large Pages are OFF• Played as Concurrent games: 64 that means with 50% CPU usage • All NNUE engines are AVX2 and tested via theirs default Evalfiles• Against time loses, any Engine's move overhead is increased to 250 Except SF-PRO, which comes without move overhead options, sad.. Very likely for these reasons, SF-PRO lost 3 (three) games on time ( Anyhow here is Screenshot, so you can check which are lost on time I hope these engines which are not stable..will be fixed..if not simply They will be out.. sure if future tours... thanks for your understanding, Because 'Stability' is one of most important parts at least for my side! In short, for fair..we have to fight against gaining very easy points...• All games played with newer Unique ver (based on 500+ openings) For more fair cond.,each of used opening line is repeated as twice• Besides, Engine Learning is disabled (such as exp files not allowed)• Stockfish 150624 = Author: FauziAkram, Timestamp: 1718446439• Draw-ratio of official contest (based on 11080 games): not high 87% Btw, Candidate tour's draw ratio (based on 3600 games) is same too 87%• As usually, all the played games are available (in PGN): NNUE LII
