Actually, +6.67 to 20210915-1550. Optimism is masking some recent regression.

Note, that 3 runs were within 1.21 points! My short test gave +11 to SF 14.1 against "weak" engines.

IMHO testing vs. a so much weaker engine makes no sense. Stockfish wants to make progress vs strong opponents. Who cares about Stockfish scoring +440 or +430 Elo vs. SF 7?!? Meaningless.

We have Regression-tests vs. SF14 with classical openings in the SF-Framework and regression-tests using UHO openings vs SF 14.1 on my website:

Personally, I dont need NCM...
