M1 Apple Silicon for Chess?

[AlexChess]

SuperBlitz 30 Engines 3 secs + 3 mins / all + Tb Syzygy 6-man on BanksiaGUI Mac Mini M1 - 4CPUs



Fat Fritz 2.0 Github (compiled by me thanks to CP guide) is first on Mac Mini M1 but not on the official build for Windows 10

Now switched to 30 mins+30 secs / all NOBOOK TB Syzygy 6-man roundrobin BanksiaGUI tournament between best engines above + Stockfish 230521 slim (EXP56)

Could you also try to compile Cfish Night Nurse and Cfish Dark Horse for M1 NEON? They are very strong on Windows 10 ARM6

As far as I understand only the nets are different. Concerning the date of the source code I guess cfish ist still 1.3. So, simply take cfish-1.3 and configure the related nets to it.

Thank you adding Zahak to the list... And I'm surprised it could draw against Texel... There is at least 500 elo difference between them

M1 (and A14) has a securty flaw that lets unprivileged processes transfer data between them (breaks isolation). The flaw is more serious than one would think at first sight.. The flaw would be potentially most dangerous if used togheter with other security-flaws, bugs or malwares..

For example this could be used to defeat privacy protections, and be used in spyware, surveilence. For example a keylogger or "collectors" could be sending typed text and other info, password, encryption-keys etc. to another app covertly trough thes insecure register bits and then forward the info to the internet, in a more covert manner.

Windows achieves this all by itself via updates, or via normal usage without regular reboots .
