Promising engines 3000+ ELO not Stockfish derivatives

Arasanchess 23.1 NNUE by Jon Dart (ELO 2300) - USA
NOTE: Jon Dart isn't a simple promise, but a chess engines programming myth since 1994

Arasan 23.1 is available from https://www.arasanchess.org.

Changes in Arasan 23.1:
1) Disable book when running the "bench" command. Ensure tablebases and NNUE are initialized before it runs.
2) Support SIMD on older Intel/AMD chips. Default builds now assume at least SSE2 is available.
3) Fix #34 - specify C++17 for clang.
4) Various fixes to selfplay utility
5) New network, based on reinforcement learning from 280m positions
6) Singular extension changes. Allow some pre-search pruning during a singular search.
7) Some code cleanup and refactoring.
8) Fixes and cleanup to Makefiles, VC++ projects and CMakeLists.txt.
9) Output error messages related to intialization to stdout not stderr, and use the appropriate prefix (e.g. "info" for UCI).

Test run against 23.0.1, 2:0+1 time control:
5 141 551 276 27
2000 games, score: 54.48%%
ELO: 31.18 +-7.8 (95%)
LOS: 100.0%

ARASAN 23.2 JUST RELEASED! https://www.arasanchess.org/downld.shtml Thanks Jon Dart!

Finally playing a tournament with all my loved official AVX2 engines against Stockfish 14-dev 211211 Polyglot M13.4 book (or the book given with engine) + TB 6 man, taken from author's repository, on a Ryzen 9 PC using 24 CPUs (about 8 times faster than Windows 11 ARM64 under mac M1) I will soon publish crosstables and PGN games.



Best regards, Alex

BLITZ 3 mins + 1 sec / ALL between AVX ENGINES on PC Windows 10 Ryzen 9 (8-10 times faster than Windows 11 ARM64 4 CPUs)



ALL 21 games in PGN: https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=B0F79706 ... 27&o=OneUp

I have decided to avoid Stockfish 14.1-dev comparisons, since I want only test engines not compatible with my Apple Mac Mini M1. Good Zahak 9.0 AVX performance, stronger than expected with more CPU power!

Just a small note.. Dont write "CPUs" If you actually mean Threads.

When you say just released, it means like it was released moments ago. In fact the version was released a few days ago. From history tracking of view your post can cause confusion in the future. Please make sure you write your announcements accurately.
