Last Update: 12.05.2022
Hello Chess Friends,
As usual, I am pleased to announced that,
Here are another new NNUE competitions of 3700+
And these kind of new tour series are different than all!
As participants,
Main target: testing latest releases of 2022, Total: 17 engines!
Btw, I apologize that I missed to test Polyfish (by Khalid Omar)
And as usual, almost all BMI2 and played via default EvalFiles
To be more clear
I've realized to run many separate tournaments: Bullet and Blitz
Where 2 different Balsa suite used: up to 5 Moves / av. 8-10 Moves
And as alternative, I tested the current engines without books too
For Bullet time controls: 64 MB Hash used, for Blitz: 128 MB hash
In short, let's see what are the influences under new test conditions...
E.g the openings are played any BIG factor, plus the time controls ?
Ok.. here are the new results and you can download all GAMES
Overall Ranking (All in One) - My Congratulations to all Winners!

More Details:
• Best in overall performance are latest Stockfish and based ones...
However, it's clear that no much Elo progress since many months
And now I wonder: who will pay my electricity bills? just joking...))
• In case of comparing which standings are more close to overall:
Balsa 5 or 10 Moves (30s+0.5s), Balsa 5 Moves (2m+1s) are closer
Actually all rest rankings can be counted not so far from the overall
Exception the ranking with No Book (1min + 0.5sec) and it seems
Many SF engines suffer...due to theirs own opening code is quite
Limited and many of them prefer to play similar and critical openings
And I think that as main reason about why they performed worse...
Where with No Book: Kayra 1.3 engine seems to be the strongest!
And with No Book, Proteus ranked higher..probably learning helped
But via Balsa openings, the situation is different.. SF PB is best !)
• Crystal in Game-Play suffers, but as Tactics solver is best Results
In other words, once we noticed: there is no any perfect engine
But this is also true: we have great engines, where many benefit..
And if I caused to help a little bit over these issues how happy I'm
• The database has no any game lost on time, it seems all stable!
Ok...that's all for now and thank you for your interest...have fun )
Best,
Sedat
