This turned out to be a crazy fight up to the very end! New Stars (Koivisto, Halogen, and Seer) against Yesterday's Legends (Protector, BlackMamba, and SmarThink). It would be fair to say that all 6 engines shared the top spot! The other pleasant fact is the clear progress of the new versions of Cheng. Fruit, Halogen, Koivisto. Stash, Topple, and Weiss over the previous versions.

Thanks to all who followed the Tournament!

My next tourney will include some versions of ChessBrainVB, Demolito. Halogen, Hannibal, Houdini, Marvin, Minic, Nirvanachess, Orion, Senpai, Texel, Wasp, and other engines.

Wow what a close finish, only half a point separating the top 6 engines!

Yeah, I didn't expect that it would be so equal. By the way, I expected a bit more from both Halogen versions. May be the compiles are not optimal for my hardware.

thanks for the tournament, it was fun to follow except for some hiccups (like streaming stopped after n rounds for some reason etc.)

It's because my laptop is used for different purporses. The Internet connection is also unstable, so... sometimes I am forced to make a pause for a while.

At this moment, in my personal rating list Cheng 4.40 is close to Monolith 2 and Amoeba 3.2, and is 61 ELO stronger than ver. 4.39. However, only 108 games are played (in two tournaments), so this result is just a hint

I see. I would be more than happy with 30+

You have a reason to be happy as in the new CCRL Blitz Rating List Cheng 4.40 (1 CPU) is +71 ELO ahead of Cheng 4.39 (1 CPU) after 691 games
