This is the story of the new SF net versus the old SF net at game/search depth 1. A gain of about 280 Elo! ( amazing) That is incredible and it really does change how we can do things for weaker human play. First it is more green , less power is needed.

Next ,we have this same one-ply monster ( pun intended) play current SF with UCI LimitStrength set 1525 ( preliminary testing showed this was about equal.)
Note: Game was set 3 minutes plus 2 seconds - Blitz
This is now, by far my most favorite engine to play against. It feel like you are playing this cocky kid who keeps handing your head back to you on a silver platter. Major kudos to the SF team for this net

This version of Honey is new rebase, starting with current SF and adding back key functionality one step at a time.
Although it version it is named Honey, Bluefish fans will not be disappointed as many of the BF features ae incorporated, including a tactical setting that is on by default, that is incorporated with a new Tactcial_Depth setting ( idea found in Shahsin and a key component of Deep Profound Analysis found in previous versions). And now even with tactical setting on by default, it plays about equal to SF. I have found Tactical_Depth of 5 best for everyday use when combed with Tactical setting 3, equal to multipv set 8), but you can mix and match any combination you want.
And a new setting Variety setting that can be set to turn off a various game stages that you decide before you start the game. The settings are 0 to 16, Zero represents no variety , a setting of 16 represents that 16 pieces are off the board ( 16 pieces remain on the board.
Below is match of full strength Honey ( with Bluefish features, i.e., using both tactical and tactical depth options set to 3 and 5 respectively ) versus current full strength Stockfish.
