BTW, Drofa does not let itself be installed under Fritz easily, you have to create the eng file manually. It is probably some discrepancy in UCI implementation.

Re: New engine releases & news 2021
Hi Norman,
no reason for any more criticism.
On the other hand, I like more the closed source projects because I am often thinking ...
Dear programmers, please hold different good ideas secret, enough good ideas are public.
But different programmers like to claim proofs.
I think the most reason is that this group of programmers like to looking in the sources by the others.
That's allways the same. If sources are not available, the program is strong, it must be a clone.
NONSENSE!
Thank you Norman and good luck for the future of Fire.
Best
Frank

thanks for the new version, including source code
I tested 8.0 privately under CEGT conditions. Does it make sense to re-test, i.e. is 8.1 stronger/different/weaker than 8.0?
Or can I use the games from 8.0 for our list?
I have no problem to re-test if you think it's better.
Thanks

There were minor code optimizations, so it may be a tiny bit faster...
of course such a small improvement would only really manifest itself in ultra-fast TCs.
I believe you will find little (if any) elo improvement in 8.1.
In normal play (at CEGT TCs) it should perform and test exactly like 8.0.

Thanks!
So, I will not replay the games but of course use 8.1 for further testing, especially @ other time controls than 40/4 (only one tested so far)

Re: New engine releases & news 2021
Looks to me as "original" as all the open source TOP 10 engines with their 1,000+ lines Stockfish like search functions.
Boring as hell.
So many "legit" SF authors have their "own" engines and competing in same events.
Should be 1 competition per 1 author per 1 engine.

Re: New engine releases & news 2021
Yeah ! Happiness ! Each of the 10 authors must be absolutely sure that there is nothing original in the code. Otherwise it is, of course, a clone (if closed source).
