Nice! Cfish is weaker than SF according list! Isn't it 15% faster anymore?
I tried all CFish avx2 Binaries (there were different compiles done). And I used the fastest, which is +7% faster than Stockfish Dev avx2 on my machine.
It was a binary by Chessman. From here: https://chess.massimilianogoi.com/download/cfish/
This is no surprise, as current CFish is still much closer to SF12 than SF13, because very few of SF patches went into it anymore.
To tell it more simple, CFish is not in sync with SF since several months. (it would require a lot of work to be again)
Just take a look at the CFish commits. I think this is what 'mehmet123' probably wanted to tell in his post.
All the good wishes, that received me on talkchess, email, contact-function are very much appreciated.
It is an honor for me, to be a member of the computerchess-community. And I promise: I will keep working hard especially on my Anti Draw openings(https://www.sp-cc.de/files/pohl_antidraw_openings.7z), to prevent the high-end computerchess from draw-death, so we all can enjoy computerchess in the future without boring draw-rates of 85% or more. I have some interesting new ideas and I am trying out some of them at the moment. But it will take some time and right now, I cant say, if these ideas will be a success.

All of the new namespace rules threw me for a loop.
I have dozens of changes that I make to the source, including files that I add that are not in the original project.
Usually, it takes less than 5 minutes with Winmerge for me to get everything synchronized.
After "The Great Renaming" it took me over an hour to get everything working right with my changes.
The good news is that the next time, it should be back to 5 minutes again.
Ronald's task is much harder than mine. He cannot just do a diff and merge, since every update requires a translation from C++ to C (which is not always trivial).
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
