That should do the trickCode: Select all

elo++ is actually a bad coding habit. You should definently use ++elo. (Gave me +20 elo compared to elo++)

Re: Stockfish 9
👊 👍 Thank you Marco, Gary, Joona and of course, the original author of Glaurung, Tord! The team really ended the last 3 months on a high note, with some really nice patches for ELO gain and functionality with great collaboration being demonstrated and displayed. Stockfish is being well maintained and is in good hands. 😊mcostalba wrote:I am pleased to announce that Stockfish 9 is out.
You can download the offical builds from here https://stockfishchess.org/download/
I would like to thank all the amazing people that made this release possible. All our testers and our developers, all the people that donate CPU time through fishtest (thank you! You are amazing) and a special thank to Daylen, our webmaster, and to the people contributing to the final optimized builds:
- BMI2: Thomas Zipproth
- POPCNT: Vah
- 64-bit: Vah
- 32-bit: Kiran Panditrao
SF 9 should improve about 45 ELO in self-play compared to SF 8, but because now we set contempt by default, we could expect something better in rating lists that use games among different engines to measure ELO.
Another visible change is the merge of the latest version of Ronald de Man Tablebases code, that is now better at detecting and reporting mate scores instead of TB scores.
Thank you again to all the people that contributed to this release: you did a great job!

Re: Stockfish 9
Wow, you are a man of mere "intelligence". Since when is 45 ELO not good? More importantly, Stockfish's contempt of 20 has given it about 60 ELO total over Stockfish 8. But the biggest point is that Stockfish is the strongest engine in the world. Period. AlphaZero aside - Stockfish stands above everything else. You are delusional to question what the community has achieved. Time is wasted trying to speak with sense and logic with you; nevertheless, it is quite funny to see the stupidity that has eroded some minds with emphatic garbage.corres wrote:Stockfish is an open project.Krzysztof Grzelak wrote:
This is a little bit 45 ELO Please try in the future to increase the engine at about 100 Elo some.Unfortunately, the engine with a small 45 ELO stands in place and getting worse with its development.
So if you are programmer expert, please help the developers of Stockfish to reach the growth of 100 Elo.
If you are a simple user only you have to give a very great Thanks! to them.

Re: Stockfish 9
Whether or not Stockfish is the strongest does not matter much. You may have delusions, because you think like other people do. What the community has achieved does not interest me. Elo is interested in me, not the community. I just saw that the strongest engine created by the community can not enter the final in the tournament TCEC.APassionForCriminalJustic wrote:Wow, you are a man of mere "intelligence".

Re: Stockfish 9
Thanks to Marco, the rest of SF team and those who provide the binaries and
those who provide cpu time for the testing.
Just like SF development requiring a lot of resources (ie programmers, skills, cpu time, etc).

I think we have exactly the same mentality. I also told my child that her 2 inch increase in height is not acceptable in the past 5 months. But then I just realized growth and strength needs time and some expensive resources similar to cooking. No shortcuts.Krzysztof Grzelak wrote:I understand perfectly well, you just have to start and think about it all. Imagine such a scenario. The Stockfish 10 is born and I am 30 points more than its predecessor. You will think of Stockfish 10 and I have about 30 more pieces than its predecessor. And I think quite differently.

I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.

Think it through. If the strongest player would automatically win a tournament, there'd be no point in playing the tournament.What the community has achieved does not interest me. Elo is interested in me, not the community. I just saw that the strongest engine created by the community can not enter the final in the tournament TCEC.
