The bold is mine.

Gauntlet would be a different story.

Correct?

Yes, sorry, these tests were all round robins; every engine played 3000 games (enough to get the EAS score down to +- 10k, which is good enough for my purposes) split evenly across all engines. I switched to gauntlets after self testing started giving me very suspicious results.

1. When I create an elo pool 200 elo less than Rebel, run a robin round the EAS score will be extremely high.

2. When I create an elo pool 200 elo less than Rebel, run the gauntlet the EAS score likely will be also extremely high but all the opponents have to struggle to get the minimum requirement of won games and draws and are blacklisted by the EAS tool.

So please, choose an elo pool of Patricia's current strength and run the gauntlet.

A gauntlet? Or a round-robin?

The EAS tool is great if you understand its limitations. It's not perfect but it is very useful if you want to tune your (NNUE) engine.

I only use gauntlet and make sure no opponent engine gets blacklisted. An easy way to do is to collect the pgns, the more games, the more reliable the result. 20.000 games is my minimum.

Absolutely love your work, my friend.

Do you have an OEX version of Pedone 3.0 for Android?
