At 1m+1, significantly stronger in self play and gives Maverick 1.5 and Ethereal 7.78 a decent fight, so I'd cross my fingers and say 50 elo increase at least

There seems to be a nasty bug causing the engine to lose on time when reaching the moves-per-session time (like move 40 on a 40/x tc). I'll update the release and this post when i have the time
