That's relative to Stockfish-dev. About +120 Elo above Stockfish 11, I think.MikeB wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 5:28 pm https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/ ... 64f05e4c58
I think this qualifies for SF 12!!
I agree, a Stockfish 12 release could be premature. These are new unexplored terrains, the code is nowhere near being optimized, the nets are nowhere near properly tested, imagine if SF 12 is released and one month later there's another 50 elo jump, we want a SF 12 that lasts for long!Gian-Carlo Pascutto wrote: ↑Tue Aug 04, 2020 8:01 pm There's still so much room for experimentation.

Dream situation for computer chess.
To both - that is exactly why it should be #12 - set a marker in time from this point forward to measure progress. They always test regression against a prior release - what better time to set new marker once you merged a PR that is a 'significant" change - you will always want to measure progress from this point forward against the initial release.Ovyron wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 12:41 pm This is the breakthrough I've been predicting for years! It finally happened, and I'm just glad chess looks very healthy after it (draw rates have gone down! Some lines are proving to be playable again!)
