Stockfish speeds on my i3 4 core laptop on start position after 30 seconds of infinite analysis:
May 19 2014 standard dev release : 2671kn/s depth 24
Stockfish 5 standard release: 2633kn/s depth 24
Stockfish 5 modern release: 2637kn/s depth 23

Looking good, will beging testing immediately for CEGT 40/4, estimate date for CEGT 40/4 update will be June 7-10. Thanks for the release and congratulations.
Actually that laptop is 2 cores with 4 threads (two threads are HT, so not same benefit as having 4 cores.

A doubling of cores should give you about 1.9 speedup. On 1 thread I get about 1059kn/s for the SSE4.2 version. On 2 threads I get 1972kn/s which is close to 1.9. On 4 threads 2637kn/s so only getting 1.34 speedup, on a real 4 core machine i could expect somewhere around 3746kn/s.

Thank you very much for this great gift, Marco and Stockfish Team!.

I will start right now my double test -960 games- of this engine. I will post the results in about three days. :-)

Smiling regards from Barcelona,

Tom.

Thank you.
I think Stockfish iOS is using engine version 4, so that will be a huge jump ! 8-)

No, it's newer than SF 4, though slightly older than SF DD.

I may have missed something but why has the syzygy code been removed?
It has never been part of the official source tree.

It was in the version which played in TCEC. So it was not the official version but your private one that played. Congratulations to your win.
Anyway, I can't see why it is not in the official branch. Or why the two are not merged.
Marco wants to keep the source tree clean of TBs.

Any chance we can have a Mac compile with syzygy?

Sorry for my wrong comment.

Now i noticed that in my Arena 3.5 gui, under options, the feature "use intern name" was set on fault.

Everything is fine with Stockfish 5

It is a marvelous piece of chessprogramming.

Excellent, the new king is here!!!

A curious thing, is that the file size of the stockfish_14053109_x64_modern.exe is exactly: 1.024.000 bytes (1MB)

And why is not Stockfish 5?
