It's possible that OliThink 5.9.2 is somewhat at the end of his journey as I do not see any chance to improve with small changes. Yet.
In order to improve it looks as I will have to make major changes.

This should mean that the existing set of ideas is implemented almost perfectly and weights are tuned almost ideally. It is always a pleasure to test such engines.

The implementation is surely not perfect, but I can't find any improvement with minor changes.
There is no tuning in OliThink, it is very small (1500 lines). OliThink has no chess knowledge or data derived from tuning.

Could you say what ELO you derived from the result?
Which is your hardware (if it's written somewhere, just tell me where

Thank you again very much, @Angle to let OliThink play in your tournament.

Could you say what ELO you derived from the result?

It's rating should be overpriced because most of the opponents were significantly weaker. In my overall rating list OliThink 5.9.2 4 CPU (TC 20s+3s) is 23 ELO ahead of Bright 0.4a 4 CPU. So it's rating should be around 2930-2940 ELO in CCRL Blits rating list.

Intel i7-8750H-Quad, Windows 10.
Arena 3.5.1, TC 20s+3s, Ponder off.
Book: libra8.abk.

The processor supports popcnt, pext, avx2, and bmi2 instructions.

Oh, 2930-2940 is impressive, more than I thought. Noteworthy the fact that OliThink uses merely 1 CPU.

Ouch, I forgot that OliThink still doesn't support multi-threading! Then the result is even more impressive. But keep in mind that there were only 50 games and only Stash 25 was nearly at the same level as OliThink 5.9.2 (even stronger with 4 CPU). So, the result may be a bit optimistic. Probably, 2900 ELO in CCRL blitz list is a more realistic estimation of OliThink 5.9.2 rating.
