CCRL 40/40, 40/4 and FRC lists updated (15th June 2019)

[Graham Banks]

The latest CCRL Rating Lists and Statistics are available for viewing from the following links:
http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/4040 (40/40)
http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/404 (40/4)
http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/404FRC (FRC 40/4)

Please note that the three lists are often updated separately to each other. The FRC list is only updated when a new engine or engine version is being/has been tested.
Also, please note that the 40/40 and 40/4 lists are constructed from totally different databases and not comparable to each other.

Thanks to all of our currently active testers (Graham, Ray, Tirsa, Gabor, Charles and Sergio). Thanks also to Chessdom.com for hosting our website.

I know you now test engines on GPU, so maybe you can test this engines

If you have GPU Nvidia generation Pascal or Turing, autor of Zeta wrote new version

We currently run on a GTX 1050, which is Pascal.

It will be very cool if you test Zeta, it is first in the world (on time release) engine that run on GPU

I'm certainly interested once it is finalised, I assume it is UCI ?

From readme
To play against the engine use an CECP v2 protocol capable chess GUI
like Arena, Cutechess, Winboard or Xboard

It is CECP v2, aka. new Winboard/Xboard.

The newest version v099l needs to be confirmed to run well on Nvidia Turing gpus
then i will make a release on my GitHub page.

I have tested the engine since 2017 in test suites and tournaments with Xboard,
it uses mostly the same protocoll interface like Zeta Dva 03xx, so it looks
stable to me. But you need to open a terminal/command line and enter some
commands to create a config file for it, and on some OS/hardware/driver
combinations there are issues with gpu timeouts, so i flagged it as alpha
version.

Hmm.. I've never used a CECP v2 engine, and I don't use Winboard/Xboard. What GUIs would it work under ?
