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.

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!

Now I can finally turn off the computer and get it to rest.

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 ?

Greetings )

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.

------
edit:

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

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

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.
