The situation in my match after 57 games:

Is this with or without the NNUE? I recall you testing E13.25 HCE (no NNUE), but I could be mistaken, and I believe I am since the elo values are fairly close.

The engine is properly installed and works OK.





I tested a lot of Ethereal 13.25 (only with NNUE) but in the company of Stockfish, Dragon versions, some derivatives and clones.

Evaluation file. Shouldn't it be e1350.standard.nnue?

Yes, of course ! If you look at the first image above (installation folder) this is it. Ethereal 13.25 comes with e1325.standard.nnue for classic chess.

Even in the list of Stefan Pohl Brserk 8.5 is with 17 Elo points in front of Ethereal 13.50. It's just that he tested the avx2 versions with a large number of games and various opponents, another control time, another hardware ........ I'm interested only in this match. I don't see anything curious.

[Sylwy]

After 76 games, the difference was reduced to only 21 Elo points. Very similar to the difference in Stefan Pohl's list.

The final result of this match:





+9 -12 =79

-7 Elo points

[AndrewGrant]

I'm not casting doubts! Was just double checking is all.

Thanks for running the games.
