Breaking News (08.02.2025): Well, since a long time there was no similar tour, to be in Classical cond.! And as I expected, since a long time there is no much Elo improvements. And as we see, almost all of latest engines are focused only over NNUE Improvements, anyhow no regret..moreover, I think that time to time, it is Worth giving a try..and who knows? perhaps one day, we'll see NON-NN To pass 3650+ Elo barrier..but it seems, it is hard, since 2020, almost all Top programmers switched to NNUE (playing with previous trained data) Anyhow, enjoy with the latest tour's results where Polyfish's Stockfish XI.. Performances are outstanding, Btw, Cfish 030820 (9-times Champ) could Not be as 10-times Champion but if as MP + Blitz, situation changed.. at Least I can say, Cfish via Blitz+ MP is better...E.g for older tour: Results Meanwhile, it is interesting to point out also that some of the engines are More Drawish or just opposite less Drawish..minus plus 10% differences.. And I wonder why? if not clear: here you can't blame only Unique lines!) On other hand, about 70% draws are quite acceptable, even Super GMs, Sure with Classical time controls, theirs draws are minus plus 65%-70%
NON-NNUE Bullet Champion Polyfish 070623- Congrats to Khalid Omar! Note: After checking, Polyfish performed 2 points better than Stockfish XI..
