Re: Ethereal 11.25 64-bit Gauntlet for CCRL 40/40
Thanks, Graham. I'm very happy to that the gains are seen in this test. I was worried after seeing minimal progress in on 40/4 4-CPU list. I suspect a small or unlucky sample size is to blame, and this data for 40/40 1-CPU makes me feel a bit better

Re: Will TCEC need to rewrite their rules?
Just to be clear, I have no issues with lc0 or Allie. My issue is with the somewhat arbitrary and vague TCEC rules governing Neural Network engine participation. These rules state: Definition A neural network is a computer system modeled on the human brain and nervous system. For the purpose of TCE...

Re: 20 New NN Engines has been reported to the TCEC
The Baron does not use neural nets (yet). The version registered to TCEC is a NUMA aware compile of 3.44 Richard. Is NUMA awareness currently required at TCEC? Condition for required: Running windows with 64+ threads. Without NUMA awareness you can't get optimal thread to CPU distribution. Conditio...

Re: Official Release of Ethereal 11.25
At Chessowl, I completed a 30 engines x 100 gauntlet with Ethereal 11.25 vs. Top Chess Engines but found out that there were hundreds of losses by time forfeit with Ethereal. This is not acceptable for rating list posting although the score is more or less the same with version 11.11, so I had to w...
