Code: Select all

Rank Name                          Elo     +/-   Games   Score    Draw 
   1 minic_3.12_linux_x64_skylake          278      13    2677   83.2%   25.4% 
   2 minic_3.12_linux_x64_sandybridge      -68      11    2677   40.4%   33.9% 
   3 minic_3.12_linux_x64_nehalem          -81      11    2676   38.6%   34.0% 
   4 minic_3.12_linux_x64_core2            -86      11    2676   37.9%   32.7% 
Looks a bit extreme ... I'll have to check this...

yeah looks like my non-AVX2 binaries are total crap for a while ... let me analyze that before launching anything else please.

ok this is fixed, I'll release 3.13 today, you will notice quite a huge improvement in consequence. Thanks again for all the testing.
