I had to switch to Fritz because I've discovered that Cutechess-cli doesn't allow pauses, so the official interface now is Fritz 18. 62 wasted games... Whatever... Pauses are always good because one could need the computer for other tasks or - like in my case - has an "old" computer needing to rest sometimes.

Situation so far:

Engine tournament, Blitz 5.0min+2.0se 2023

1 CorChess 4 230731 ******** ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½½½½ ½½½½ ½½½1½½½1 1½1½1½½½ 24.0/43
2 Swordfish 15.5 ½½½½½½½½ ******** ½½½½½½½ ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½ ½½½½1½½½ 22.0/43
3 Stockfish Polyglot 220623 ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½½½½ ******** ½½½½ ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½½ ½½½½½1½½ 20.5/40
4 Brainlearn 24 ½½½½½½½ ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½ ******** ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½ 19.5/39 402.00
5 Cfish 060821 ½½½½ ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½½½½½ ******** ½½½½½½½½ ½½0½ 19.5/40 398.25
6 Blue Marlin 15.7 ½½½0½½½0 ½½½½ ½½½½½ ½½½½½½½½ ½½½½½½½½ ******** ½½½½½½½ 19.0/40
7 Crystal 5 KWK 0½0½0½½½ ½½½½0½½½ ½½½½½0½½ ½½½½ ½½1½ ½½½½½½½ ******** 17.5/39

(142 Games)

I used four different Fritz instances at once, with four copies of the engines. I then renamed the engines and merged the tournaments. This CorChess seems to be a killer! A lot of wins!





1...c6?!... Not a good move.

Now I can finally turn off the computer and get it to rest. :lol: :happy-jumpeveryone:

Great tour plus with TC 5m+2s !
And nice to see that you run as concurrent ;)

Btw,
I noticed some of other new engines are not included ?
Any reason why ?

I wanted to test only the engines I have on my site. I will publish the result on the benchmark section when it's done.

I was thinking "Wow! This CorChess is very, very strong!", but then I looked at the games: the most of the lost ones are in the B12 opening, a very shitty one, at least for what regards modern computer chess... So I'm guessing that that version of Crystal has an old and not good nnue network... I guess I'll create a hybrid: the same version of the program but with the most modern nnue network and I'll make a head to head match against CorChess to see if I'll get a different result. :thinking:

------
edit:

I can't compile this version of Crystal with the newest nnue networks because of "incompatibility"... same old shit :sm57:

Code: Select all

info string ERROR: If the UCI option "Use NNUE" is set to true, network evaluation parameters compat
ible with the engine must be available.
info string ERROR: The option is set to true, but the network file nn-c38c3d8d3920.nnue was not load
ed successfully.
info string ERROR: The UCI option EvalFile might need to specify the full path, including the direct
ory name, to the network file.
info string ERROR: The default net can be downloaded from: https://tests.stockfishchess.org/api/nn/n
n-c38c3d8d3920.nnue
info string ERROR: The engine will be terminated now.
I've lost interest already. They can never stay on standards.
