Do you know if these JAVA engines run smoothly with cutechess + concurrency ?
90% of coding is debugging, the other 10% is writing bugs.

Yes, it does.
I use cutechess + concurrency e.g. for my 60 sec + 0.6 sec rating list.

Belofte 2.1.2 released on 32/64 bit linux/windows/mac.
  • Slight improvement over 2.1.1 (and its never released fix 2.1.1.2). Elo difference about 100, but given past experience with 2.1.1 release, lets wait confirmation from CCRL lists.
  • No longer segfault on MacOS X on exit.
  • No longer stops sometimes on move 256, lets hope this fixes the issue some have seen on move 64 or 128.
  • Some primary endgame evaluation.
  • Movelist generation and other speedups.
Other changes, see README.md.

Berserk 4.1.0 is out now.

Minor evaluation and search changes. Most significant changes are NPS improvements and a major bug fix that is present in release 4.0.0.

Downloads available here: https://github.com/jhonnold/berserk/releases/tag/4.1.0

Thanks Yves. On my 64-bit Win10 PC the 32-bit exe runs faster than the 64-bit one so that is what I am using.
