TCEC no needs many games to have the perfect ranking

[JJJ]

So far, almost all engine are in the right order and it is only 29 games for each engines !

Hilarious. You see something which fits your expectation and you deduct now it will always be that way?
I guess you don't see the flaw in your thinking?

May be you meant your post ironically though, because even your 'almost right order' is nonsense when we are
comparing the 14 participants and around 6 of them are near the same strength?

Even the notorious whacky TCEC ratings don't agree with what you seem to see.
(not even talking about what you deduct from what is not there)
Actually nearly nothing seems in the right place, doh.

It seems hard to grasp for many that great many events you see or experience have an irreducibe degree of randomness. The usual formal education doesn't help much, for example classical mechanics as presented in high schools is strictly deterministic.

More in the perfect ranking. Of course in a rating List, Lczero is below Stockfish dev but above Houdini 6. 35/36 games so far.
