The 111-part collection covers a very broad spectrum of chess motifs, and the individual positional images are chosen paradigmatically, so that the puzzles represent thousands of analog positional patterns.
All chess and technical basics of the ERET are explained in detail in GLAREAN MAGAZIN:
https://glarean-magazin.ch/2017/03/05/c ... test-eret/
For own tests the author recommends the following test setting:
a) 10-15 sec. per position & engine
b) 1-8 CPU / 1024 Mb Hash / Syzygy-Tablebases / No Books
c) GPU for Leela-(NN-)Engines: from RTX 2060 on
d) GUI: "Fritz" (up to ver. 13) / "Arena" / "Shredder" / "Chess Assistant"
The author has already published earlier test results in March 2019:

It is remarkable that the Artificial Chess Intelligence in the form of the NN program Leela is still on the advance;
A next ranking in a few months could already show a new ERET winner...
The following ranking list of 41 engines was generated in April 2019 with the following (new) hardware & software:
- 15 sec. per position / AMD-Ryzen-7-2070x / GPU RTX 2080
- 1-4 CPU / 1024 MB Hash / Syzygy-5men-TBs / No Opening Books
- Fritz 12 / Windows 10
