Improvement in Stockfish

Post by zullil »

If I'm reading correctly at

http://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/v ... 35dbfeea67

the latest Stockfish development version is about 57 ELO stronger than Stockfish DD, which was released in late November.

Code: Select all

ELO: 57.41 +-1.8 (95%) LOS: 100.0%
Total: 57848 W: 16542 L: 7070 D: 34236
Pretty impressive!

And only 0.3 elo since April 27th.

But for that time they improved SMP code, so that is a very important thing.

Time to release SF 5. :D

Hello Oliver:

I am not sure but I think it was a tribute to Don Dailey (the programmer of Komodo). SF DD was released around 19th November, 2013 (writing from memory) and those days Don Dailey was very ill or recently died.
