It looks promising. Let's hope your asmFish 170426 run shows the same progress as well.

Optically, jump with incredible slope compared with the previous patches especially. Of course that is only optically i.e. without the error bars. But it does not even have the latest patches. And Stockfish thanks to Vondele now ready for C++17 :shock: The previous test seemed to "take off" from the "plateau" but maybe with about one elo or so (+/- 7 errorbar). The jump now probably a combination of all the patches that did not seem to help. Prof Elo observed the effect of plateauing and then suddenly big gains in humans, during their early development. It seems that was not just human psychology and learning. HGM posted about this effect once.

place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

20% of the patches account for 80% of the Elo gain. :)
