Is EMAN the future number one?

[Glarean]

From one of my current engine tournaments a clear and deserved winner emerged: EMAN.

To answer your question - only in your little basement tournament.

Oh, I think Eman could be number one in a big tournament too.
In any case, in such a big tournament Eman 5.6 wouldn't have to be afraid of Honey XI...
I wanted to know a little bit more about it:

What is certain is that such tournaments can be very informative in chess terms. And one discovers interesting moves.

Here are some snacks (it's a coincidence that three times Arasan is involved):

I can run a more meaningful 1000 game set against the soon to be released Honey-XI-r2 with live updates here on talkchess with full pgn available- just tell me the the time control to use. Also I need a copy of Eman for a modern PC ( Threadripper CPU) If someone can put a copy on google drive or dropbox or and pm me the link that would be great.

For Eman, you should contact the "author".

[corres]

i have tried and tried but i cant download the Eman engine i cant find the link

See here:
http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74118
I don't know how skilled is Eman's author but he's an anti-piracy genius

Maybe he more than that...

I do not have access to Eman, so I will run a public match between Honey-XI-r2 and Corchess by Ivan Ivec, who has created one of the best engines for chess analysis and who always willingly shared his creation with the chess engine aficionados community freely in the true spirit of open source software. I tip my hat to Ivan and all the many , many authors who have done likewise. You can always tell a man's heart by what he freely gives away and shares without any expectation of return.

I have logging turned on by default so you will want to turn that off with UCI. I am getting really interesting results with solving problem sets that were previously very difficult.

A small match at time 5 min with 6 sec increment,

Honey-XIr2 ( this is the soon to be release)
cur-dev Stockfish
Bluefish-XIr2 ( also release version)
cur-dev- corchess (aka Corchess 6.0)

Both Honey and Bluefish are using Profound Analysis turned on with Pro Value value of 26.

Faster time controls have favored Stockfish, it's only when you get to 5 min plus 6 seconds that Profound Analysis shines in match play against SF. Ymmv of course. Hash 512M- single thread

I think Eman is the Houdini 7.
Houdart thought they work such a many on Stockfish problems the Houdini is fully his own work.
Khalid Omar said thanking to his work on Stockfish up to now there is no any connection between Stockfish and Eman, Eman is an independent chess engine created by him.
