TCEC proves the difference between developer version of Stockfish and the other top engines decreased to now.
I think it is the time to change the basic engine (Stockfish 7) to a stronger one (Stockfish 8).
I suppose it may show a more real picture about the power of Stockfish dev. than Stockfish 7 does.
Moreover it may stimulate the developers to make changes to gain Elo instead of making cosmetics code modifications with noisy results in Elo.
Developer tests of Stockfish need Stockfish 8 instead of Stockfish 7

TCEC proves nothing because of not having enough gamescorres wrote: ↑Mon Jun 11, 2018 10:38 am TCEC proves the difference between developer version of Stockfish and the other top engines decreased to now.

Only in the case of small Elo difference is important the number of games.
If the difference is enough big even two games played from the same starting position with reversed colors may show the power relation of the two engine.

Re: Developer tests of Stockfish need Stockfish 8 instead of Stockfish 7
My point is that there is no proof that the difference between stockfish and the rest of the programs got smaller.
Stockfish has 12 wins and 32 draws in the premier of season 12 total result of 63.636%
Stockfish had 39 wins and one loss and 44 draws in the premier of season 11 total result of 72.619%
I think that the expected result may be 69% when stockfish was lucky in season 11 and unlucky in season 12

Re: Developer tests of Stockfish need Stockfish 8 instead of Stockfish 7
In my opinion the top chess engines are: Stockfish, Komodo, Houdini.
The recent standing is:
Stockfish 160518... -110 Elo
Komodo 12............+59 Elo
Houdini 6.03..........-27 Elo

If you are interested in statistics please, make those statistics.
The data are public.
To me it is obvious that to loose 110 Elo during 44 games this is not a statistical issue.
