That would place Chiron 4 at the same strength as Fire 4 !

Just started doing a small test (50 Games) versus Deep Shredder 13 @5+3 using Shredder GUI and Autoplayer 232 via serial cable.

Here’s a list of the main changes:
– improved automatic tuning of the evaluation
– improved evaluation of passed pawns, mobility, opposite bishops endings
– improved forward pruning in the search
– improved LazySMP for parallel search
– support for Windows Processor Groups (more than 64 threads can now be used)
– NUMA optimization (new UCI and Winboard options “NUMA”, true by default)
– minor speed optimizations
– fixed a pondering bug
– fixed two time management bugs under the Winboard protocol

Chiron 4 is available for Windows and Android.
Buyers of the Windows version will also receive a code to get the Android one for free.

Chiron 2/3 Customers can buy Chiron 4 with a discount through the link they have reiceved. Whoever has bought Chiron 3 in the last month will receive Chiron 4 for free.

Quite a surprise for me. It's just 8 months ago since version 3 was released.

I had a automatic reboot which crashed my 1st run on game 35, so I restarted the test and combined the results.

Here are the games, I deleted all short draws that happened straight out of opening book. File contains 64 games.

Result: Chiron 4 (+14 =43 -7)



PS: I also deleted one short time loss.

Thanks,
do you have the games on the Shredder PC too? So we can see evalutions of Shredder.
I made a test for CEGT 40/20

1 Fizbo 1.9 x64 1CPU +81 +35/=53/-12 61.50% 61.5/100
2 Chiron 4.0 x64 1CPU -81 +12/=53/-35 38.50% 38.5/100

Here Chiron scored around 3059 - about 100 points behind Shredder.
