New mate solving test

Post by Jouni »

I found a new mate set: 500 long mates from 10 to 200+. And these are not from Chest database. All positions with solution. Found solution moves here:

Code: Select all

Crystal 3.1       470
ShashChess 16     458
Stockfish 11      446
Stockfish 12      441
Stockfish 060421  438
Eman 6.95         417 
Komodo 12.3       378
Seems to confirm, that SF11 was best SF in mate finding! Note all engines tested with classical evaluation, if possible (NNUE is worse). Crystal is now the best in all kind of test suites.

'can you post a link to the test?
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.

Don't be selfish.. It is not like people are asking you for money... chess related stuff should be freely available to all unless commercial.
Chess diagrams don't fall into this category. :)

We are all free to chose:
I may give.
I may take.
Jouni has given a lot.
If he keeps everything new and interesting from now to eternity, his balance sheet is still above the water.
