Does anyone have the daily/monthly elo Progress of Rybka 3 to 2, and 4 to 3, so we can compare?
I believe Rybka maximum gain was 72 elo per year for rybka 3.
Rybka 1.0 32-bit, 2787 released may 12, 2005
Rybka 1.0 64-bit, 2824
Rybka 2.1 32-bit, 2862, 75 gain, released Jul 26, 2006, 64 elo /year
Rybka 2.2 64-bit, 2921, 97 gain
Rybka 2.2 64-bit 4CPU, 2973
Rybka 3 32-bit, 2996, 134 gain
Rybka 3 64-bit 4CPU, 3118, 145 gain, released August 6, 2008, 72 elo /year
Rybka 4 64-bit 4CPU, 3147, 29 gain , released May 26, 2010, 16 elo /year

Yes SF NNUE is equal to quadruple your CPU cores for free. Incredible .
I actually got a result that SFNNUE (a couple days ago) on one thread beat Stockfish 11 on seven threads, at 2' + 1", by 90 to 80! So you may be understating it!
Maybe its time to test Stockfish NNE again at knight handicap and see if it is stronger than any other program !

Unless NNUE is trained to play in losing positions.

I've already done some tests with SFNNUE giving handicaps to other engines (and to myself!). Unfortunately it can't be tested at knight odds because it switches to normal SF mode when down (or up) about 3 pawns or more in material+piece location, with a knight counting as about 4 pawns. I ran one test with it giving pawn odds (c2,d2,e2 rotating) to SF 11 and it drew four, lost six. Against weaker engines under CCRL blitz conditions I found that around CCRL 3050 blitz is a fair opponent for it at odds of two pawns and move (remove b7 or c7 and f7 or g7, so four options). I've also tried playing it this way and also at "pawn and 3 moves" (remove f7, play e4 and d4, WTM) and so far I have only losses. In general it seems to be able to give handicaps to engines roughly 100 elo or so higher than those that SF11 can give the same handicaps to.

You know that there are various compilations/flavours, which have NNUE always enabled?

too bad. I guess we ll have to wait for Komodo NN to see a better engine for this handicap.

I had results that NNUE plays badly unfamiliar chess like chess variants, and I assumed that it plays badly handicaps too. Not terribly bad, but underperforming compared to its strength in regular chess.

I also achieved this kind of results. But I hope to God you don't think it can achieve this results in with more threads, and time. Because it does not, it is only marginally better then the best standard Stockfish, and Lc0. The strongest program yes, crushing the other engines no!
