Someone lit a fire under the Stockfish team

There has been a boatload of highly beneficial patches in the last few days.
I expect that the new version will flex its muscles in the TCEC superfinal.

NCM testing still shows +3 after SF9 - nothing spectacular so far

Pohl already shows +8 from the February 9th version, and I expect more when he tests the latest version.
I am also not nearly so interested in an Elo gain as I am in a long term analysis gain. My gedankenexperiment about the current changes tells me that they are very good.

I find Komodo is also doing well in Clemens'
'Quo vadis' many threads tournament. It is also past Houdini at least in current standings which is a good thing even if you're Houdini fan
Spurs on Houdart.

New maintainer Stephane Nicolet seems to work fulltime! Previously MC and JK usually only weekends. Now framework says:
ELO: 7.14 +-2.0 (95%) LOS: 100.0%
with this rate it's +80 in year

Yes, but that is version 2016 and I wonder how big the difference to 2012 (at TCEC) is.
Except being four years

Komodo 2016.00 64-bit t15 is the latest development version.

Here my timeline for next weeks:
At the moment, the test of BrainFish 180227 is running (with Cerebellum_Light Release 167). After 800 of 5000 games, the score is incredible high...but we dont know, if the latest patches are that strong, or the Cerebellum-Library was so much improved on the HERT-openings (or perhaps both?!). The testrun should end next Wednesday. Then the testrun of latest Stockfish will start. And it should end in middle of March.
If all works correctly...
Stay tuned!

I think the catalyst for this is the TCEC tournament. It brings out the faults, so authors have something to go after.

In TCEC, the old Houdini is performing better than Komodo(2012), and SF and H will most likely be in the final. However, I think no more update for Houdini and SF would be unstoppable.
