Some updates, new binaries from the Stockfish family: https://acepoint.de/stockfish-family-up ... optimized/

and results from a new test suite found in a German forum: https://acepoint.de/stockfish-test-suite-2021/

Thank you!
Dowloaded all 3 new M1 engines :-)

Here is my tournament Super Blitz 32 on Windows 10 under Parallels Desktop. There are also Stockfish 13 FF2 (Fat Fritz 2.1) and Stockfish 12 FF2 (Fat Fritz 2.0) https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkW3Hj0Gl_ewzyH6zDr ... s?e=1BOqJ2

Hi!

Only Oki-Maguro-v13 works on my Mac mini M1. Bluefish-v13 and SugaR 1.50 ICCF doesn't load on BacksiaGui, Cutechess and Hiarcs. (not an UCI engine, they say) EDIT: SOLVED with chmod 700 making them executables :)

I was referring to Bluefish v.13... they work fine,

If now only you could also compile Stockfish 13 FF 2.0... we would have the complete kit :)

Hi!

About results from test suite, on BangsiaGui M1 I can use only 2 / 8 processors for tournaments, to stay < 80° Celsius or it reaches 90+° Celsius using all cores after 10 minutes. But it is always 10 times faster than using Arena on Windows 10 4 CPUs under Parallels Desktop M1 :)

WOW, I'm very happy if there will be another skilled programmer to compile engines natively for M1 :)

My latest 3 minutes + 3 seconds /all SuperBlitz32 match between engines on Windows 10 ARM64 virtualized with Parallels Desktop 16.3 M1. I have discovered that native M1 engines are only 10-20% faster on M1 and only with Windows 10 ARM64 @65*-75° Celsius I can use 4 CPUs because doing the same with BanksiaGui M1 I easily reach 90° Celsius... :oops: and I still have a lot more very strong Stockfish derivates Intel x64 than with M1.
