Does it give an elo increase anywhere?

That seemed like a very fast release, especially since it was like 3-4 years between 10 and 11.

Hi Peter,

I just copied this info over from the Hiarcs forum, so no idea how much stronger this version is. Fingers crossed!

Cheers,
Graham.

Nothing is said if this engine works in a single core processor. I imagine it does, but who knows....

I'm sure it will. Previous versions did.

For a TOP-10 place Junior 12.0 need 54 ELO. Interesting is that we have no differents from 32bit to 64bit.

Junior is one of the most interesting engines because the playing style is very individual just great!

I am very interesting on Junior 12.0.

Maybe they found some kinda breakthrough?
This is like what, 6 months since 11.2? If they can get anything substantial in that amount of time why did they take years between 10 and 11?

Toes crossed (sorta),

Judging by early Ipon results they should maybe redefine breakthrough to like any improvement for more than 5 elo .

Looks more like a slot machine version
