Stockfish 5 months progress?

Post by Jouni »

UHO book and 60+0,6 single test with SFdev 30.8. and SF 17.1 30.3.

Code: Select all

                         
1   stockfish17.1    +1  +100/=201/-99 50.13%  200.5/400
2   SFdev            -1  +99/=201/-100 49.88%  199.5/400

The answer is NO. Also NCM (20 000 games) and RT (60 000 games) confirm this.

400 games are not enough to detect small progress so it is not clear that the answer is no but I dislike stockfish's design for elo and I consider to build rook odds rating list when 2 engines play without rook a1 and the winner is the engine that can win faster.

The question is if there are people who are interested to help to build that list.

I suspect that even some old stockfish before NNUE can perform better than stockfish developement version in the rook odd list.
