CCRL 40/40, 40/4 and FRC lists updated (23rd November 2019)

[Graham Banks]

The latest CCRL Rating Lists and Statistics are available for viewing from the following links:
http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/4040 (40/40)
http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/404 (40/4)
http://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/404FRC (FRC 40/4)

Our 40 moves in 40 minutes repeating and 40 moves in 4 minutes repeating are both adjusted to the AMD64 X2 4600+ (2.4GHz).
However, our testers use different hardware ranging from the Q8200 through to the most recent i7's and octals. We benchmark our hardware for consistency of results.
These time controls are roughly equivalent to 40 moves in 15 minutes repeating or 40 moves in 1.5 minutes repeating on modern computers.

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.
Also, please note that the 40/40 and 40/4 lists are constructed from totally different databases and not comparable to each other.

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

What is the Leela ratio of the Fat Fritz games?

This shows Fat Fritz being 40-50 Elo weaker? Rather incompatible results, unless 49921 is a very weak net or something.

I am sure Albert Silver (who wrote the article) is very proud he wrote the strongest engine in the world.

This rating list is not acceptable to me. And I think you know why.

That it the question... I would guess around 1.85. Which is much too high.

I will do a testrun of Lc0 0.22.0 49921 for my ratinglist, now. Because it is the only lc0 net, which was tested in the CCRL. Lets see, how strong this one really is. Result not before next Tuesday...

The article on optimization is what I wrote last week. The ratings part was added by CB in view of the result. As to being proud of my work: absolutely.

No idea Eduard. Why?

[Eduard]

Anyone who conscientiously tests Lc0 against AB Engines knows, there is a Lc0 Ratio for reliable results. And CCRL knows that too. Nevertheless, CCRL does not release any information about it.
