Hello there,
As usual, I am pleased to announce that
Here is latest Simex 2's Similarity Report,
Played on my AMD Ryzen 4800H machine
What is new,
Instead of Opening.epd, Simex.epd is used,
Plus all are tested at 3sec/per pos. 1 Core etc.
E.g via ultra fast TC, such as 100ms is not much
Effective (as before...) with some of latest SF
Based engines...but if giving 3 seconds, 1 Core
Then as you may see too, the ones, which are
Based on same source, theirs similarity results
Are very close to each other..and as clear proof,
SF-PB 120624 vs SF 120634: 98.99% or as other
Good example: Cfish 030820 vs SF310720: 97.98%
Btw, a SURPRISE ) and what is going on ?)
Other new SF-based one with 97.98% in similarity e.g
Latest Killfish 280624 is highly close to SF 270624 dev.
As Final Conclusion,
Over long past years..I've tested a lot of chess engines, using
Various Calculation, Similarity tools etc. sure just for accurate
Rankings, Sim results etc. In other words, I wish to say that
It is time to stop using the Similarity tools, as main reason:
The originality is almost dead...sure if we are looking, testing
The latest Top engines..at least quite frequently, the latest
SIM results confirm this... otherwise, all my free efforts
Will be simply waste of my time...Besides, I have no much
Free time to check each engine..before starting new tours!
Even so.. I mean just in case.. each time I have to increase
The similarity rule limit at higher and higher...SORRY..
And thanks for your understanding!
To be more clear, as far as possible,
I do not plan to use anymore the similarity tools...
I am aware too that without 'similarity rule'
The next new tour cond. will be not much fair,
But on the other hand, who cares?
And here is the latest Similarity Results:
