CCRL 40/15, 40/2 and FRC lists updated (19th September 2020)

[Graham Banks]

The latest CCRL Rating Lists and Statistics are available for viewing from the following links:
http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/4040 (40/15)
http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/404 (40/2)
http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/404FRC (FRC 40/2)

Please note that the three lists are often updated separately to each other. The FRC list is only updated when a new engine or engine version is being/has been tested.

The links to the various rating lists can be found just beneath the default Best Versions list (as in this screenshot). Specific 32-bit rating lists are denoted as such to the right of the default list in each category. The default lists contain the 64-bit engines.



Our 40 moves in 15 minutes repeating and 40 moves in 2 minutes repeating are both adjusted to the Intel i7 4770k (3.5GHz) using the Stockfish 10 64-bit benchmark.

Be aware that in the early stages of testing, an engine's rating can often fluctuate a lot.
It is strongly advised to look at the many other rating lists available in order to get a more accurate overall picture of an engine's rating relative to others.

The inclusion or exclusion of engines in our lists should not be taken as our group making a statement about their legality or status. Where there is controversy, it is usually mentioned in the engine notes.

Thanks to all of our currently active testers (Graham, Ray, Gabor, Sergio and Volodymyr). Thanks also to Chessdom.com for hosting our website.

Thanks for the testing - fixing the time management issue did wonders!

Thanks for the testing, especially the FRC, Ray.
Very large progress there. I hope to continue that with the next releases.

The inclusion or exclusion of engines in our lists should not be taken as our group making a statement about their legality or status. Where there is controversy, it is usually mentioned in the engine notes.

This snippet is probably an old copy-pasted one from Rybka's time, and I can understand the desire to still rate engines that have played a lot of games with others in the list and serve as useful anchor points.

But the Houdini and Fire engine notes should take an update, and some notice in the main list through e.g. color-coding would be appropriate.

We will put notes against those two highlighting the controversy surrounding them, as we did with Rybka. There wasn't time this week.

It has been on our homepage since then. I just transferred it into the update notice as a reminder.

Ok, thank you.

You are comparing 4CPU to 1CPU.

Code: Select all

Ethereal 12.25 64-bit 4CPU   3365	
Ethereal 12.25 64-bit	     3291
