CCRL 40/40, 40/4 and FRC lists updated (9th March 2019)

[Graham Banks]

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

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, Tirsa, Gabor and Sergio), plus to Chessdom.com for providing an online server to assist with resources.

That is correct, that was the last update.

A big thank you to the testers for testing FrankWalter! I'm especially happy with the 40/4 testing, because it shows that FW2.3.4 is not the odd version out in the 40/40 testing:-)

The new version 2.3.5 is almost ready and it fixes a bug in the transposition table which is much more apparent at these 'long' timecontrols than it is in the Fischer TC that I use for testing the most.

The other improvement is in the LMR which should really improve the selective search depth.

So I'm very happy to have these nice results as a bench mark, to compare future versions:-) In private testing at 40/3 FW2.3.5 is already 160 ELO ahead in 300 games! Excited to see how much advantage remains when it is exposed to more diverse competition!
