Obsidian 12.0 wins Arena - Amateur Engines Test, by CEDR 2024.04.27 - 2024.05.01

The Chess Engines Diary team also tests weaker (than Stockfish and derivatives) chess engines. We respect the work of their authors and, by doing tests, we encourage them to continue working. This tournament was won by Obsidian 12.0 before the Alexandria 6.1.0 engine.

SF-PRO 25042024 wins Strong Engines Tournament, by Chess Engines Diary 30.04.2024

The latest SF-PRO 25042024 engine (which is only available to our testers) won a large tournament of very powerful chess engines. Four engines are just half a point behind it: SF PB 240424, Big-SF 210324 , HypnoS 030424 and Yuliirma 4.0 . How strong the current chess engines are is demonstrated by the Critter 1.6a result, which achieved only one result out of 56 games. 🕓 Time 3'+3" 💻HP Pavilion i5-1035G1 8GB RAM 🖬 GUI-Banksia All  CEDR  333.448 games download  (01.05.2024 - 3'+3")    💾  812 (!) games from the tournament download   👍 @chessenginesdiary  Country - Poland, City -  Malbork Tech table: Engine KN/move NPS dep/mov time/mov mov/game time/game fails AbbyStein v2.8 1744 379894 35.4 4.6 65.6 301.4 Alexandria 6.1.0 2808 552186 29.3 5.1 72.2 366.9 Arasan 24.2.2 3247 496457 26.2 6.5 48.6 317.6 Big-SF 210324 1714 306232 27.6 5.6 61.3 343.0 Blue Marlin 15.7 3338 598824 32.8 5.6 62.8 350.2 Caissa 1.18 4716 884763 28.9 5.3 66.6 354.7 Clov
