The new Stockfish family (dual net) plays absolutely impressive. I'm talking about the practical game. The analysis of some extravagant positions is outside of personal interest. Congratulations, again, to the authors!

I have updated my little tournament with the new versions:

Hello !
I want to compare the best Stockfish_24011717_dual net version (the one that leads in the UHO-Top15 Engines Ratinglist - Stefan Pohl) with Eman 9.90_dual net version (tested under the same conditions). The same sparring partner: RubiKO_20240112.
On way:
The same book & hash. No experience file for Eman at the start (it writes such a file automatically but it is very small).

A super chess engine ! ==============
.....on the way.....on the way.....It seems that still Eman really has some extra qualities compared to Stockfish (claimed by the author-Omar Khalid in the fragment of the article below). Otherwise, the conditions for the two matches are practically identical. Let's wait for the last 46 games. A boosted Eman (an experience file bought from prof.dr.doc. dEeDs + a super book) is an absolutely formidable chess engine!

Until the guys on Discord will released a new batch of engines like: Palladium, Titanium, Iridium & so on....I'm in a hurry to publish the current situation from my little tournament. Soon the CCRL & CEGT testers will be suffocated by the multitude of chess engines launched by the communism (neo) in programming that seems to be practiced on Discord. A multitude of depersonalized, uniformed chess engines......O(hhh) Fritz, Junior, Shredder, Hiarcs....tempora, o mores!

-TC=40/5 (40 moves in 5'- with repetition) -Hash=256 MB for both engines -GUI: Arena 3.5.1 -Book: SuperGM_4mvs.abk (8 plies book) for both engines -1 thread-CPU=Intel i5-7400-3GHz (Kaby Lake) -TBS: 5-men Nalimov TBS (only for BigLion_2.23x) -Ponder: off -OS: Windows 10 Home.
The final result:
+34 -47 =19
-42 Elo points in 100 games
BigLion 2.23x w32 has 1890 Elo points (CCRL Blitz rating list).
Smirf BC-173g-X is a donationware version. Around 1850 Elo points (CCRL_Blitz). Untested by both CCRL & CEGT.
Shareware versions of the Smirf engine (.dll) have limited search depth. In addition, although the latest donationware version (MS-180g) has a considerably increased executable (a code at least double), the gain in Elo points is not great. Impressive with this engine is the way it plays the endgames (although it does not access any kind of databases). All in all a nice chess engine having an interesting technique dubbed adaptive recursive feed-back. The GUI is also interesting (in the class where the incontestable leader is ChessV - GUIs and engines that play different chess variants, some exotic).
Both are non-Discord chess engines. Like the very novative (having GNN) Winter 3.0.

Raid v3.3 Dual_bmi2 =============
Match conditions:
-TC=4'+2" -Hash=256 MB -GUI: Arena 3.5.1 -Book: SuperGM_4mvs.abk (8 plies book) for both engines -1 thread-CPU=Intel i5-7400-3GHz (Kaby Lake) -TBS: 6-men Syzygy bases for both engines -NNs: defaults -Ponder: off -OS: Windows 10 Home -Raid v3.3 was related to a small experience file.
The final result:
+31 -1 =68
+108 Elo points in 100 games for Raid v3.3 Dual_bmi2
RubiChess 20240112 x64 has 3679 Elo points (CCRL Blitz rating list).
I'm inclined to believe that Raid is just a clone that altered the Stockfish code. Nothing positive (like in Eman 9.90). Especially the much-claimed (by the author) tactical element. For comparison:

The final result in this match:
+37 -13 =50
+85 Elo points in 100 games for Winter_3.0_New
Schooner 2.2 x64 has 3299 Elo points (CCRL Blitz rating list).
Winter 2.0 x64 has 3230 Elo points (CCRL Blitz rating list).
An innovative engine that always has its development paths. Nothing to do with the plethora of chess engines spinning (such as small fish) around Stockfish....

This is the final structure of my Java tour. 28 engines. Gladiator 0.0.7 won the lower Java league (DeepBrutePos, Frittle, CaveChess., Ronja, Rumney, Talvmenni, DeepDuke 1.1, Tri-OS CS4210 & co). Gladiator 0.0.7 had the most uniform course (so far). He fought bravely but... that's how much the algorithms hold him. The elite Java engines (chess22k, Bagatur, Pirarucu) play in Java Best Tour. Three engines that don't support TC=4'+2" (my game time) will play separately with TC=40 moves/5' (it's Javalin, Tiffanys & ChessBotX). Nothing to do with Discord! The situation in my JAVA Tournament after 707 games:

My big tournament with engines written in Java (2nd league) reached 34 participants and 2,684 games played. The last engine entered (today) - the 34th - is the most powerful (NNUE). This is Serendipity 0.1 - an impressive engine. Absolutely sure he will qualify for the Elite Java league. And absolutely sure he will win this league!
