After the good Expositor, Ethereal Proteus NNUE is playing right now against ArasanX by the mythic Jon Dart , confirming the strength of both engines.

..Since Torch 2 is a ghost, I'm spreading to the public the name of the other Andrew's jewel. I'm Ethereal fan #1, note that Ethereal is before Proteus

Thrilling challenge against ArasanX ! After 27 games the score is 13.5-13.5, So the EXTIMATED rating Classical 25+1 of Ethereal Proteus NNUE is 3426 ELO according to CEGT Rating list, (not to Lichess.org unreliable rating) only ~100 ELO less than Rubichess 240112 (2518 ELO) and Ethereal 14.25 NNUE (2532 ELO) and I have only tuned the time management and the UCI settings, until now

Rubichess 240112 (no mods) is losing a lot of games by time, even on 25+1 time control, so I've restarted the test using 25+5.
It always use all the time available, and that is bad since if on servers there is a lag it cannot manage those critical situations.

Despite both Andreas think, a lot of people is playing bullet and blitz on servers. Probably nobody uses their engines for this issue

Wow! Ethereal Proteus NNUE (aka Etherlito Pro) is doing really well even against Rubichess 240112 (2518 ELO ), better than expected!!

NOTE: I will not count all the games lost for time by both engines

Has somebody Ethereal 14.25 NNUE (even on Playchess) so I can challenge it online? I was about to buy it but I don't want to feed the trolls.

Ethereal Proteus NNUE vs Berserk 13 - CLASSICAL 25 + 0

Started a new online challenge against Jay Hannold's Berserk 13 (3751 ELO #4 on SPCC only behind Stockfish-dev, Stockfish 16.1 and Torch 2). Until now only one lost game for my engine, and Berserk 13 is perfectly stable, never losing for time even with no increment after every move, so it's not my or a Lichess.org lag issue

[AlexChess]

As expected, Berserk 13 (2751 ELO on SPCC) is much stronger than Ethereal Proteus NNUE on long time games CLASSICAL 25 + 0 - Result +6 / 40 games

Since my mod is based on Ethereal 12.69 no-NNUE ([https://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/4 ... 4-bit_4CPU]2406 ELO CCRL[/url]) a performance of 2528 ELO like ArasanX is already very good for me, after changing only the time controls and some UCI settings!

NOTE: This time I have experimented some crashes with Ethereal Proteus NNUE, leading to lost games. I have removed them, but you can verify the complete related Lichess.org games history, that obviously I cannot alterate.

Next test is against Rebel 16.3 Classical 25+0

This ends my preliminary server tests on Etherel Proteus NNUE. These tests are using all my CPU power, so I'll continue offline.

NOTES:
Ethereal Proteus NNUE (on my tests) is much weaker than Berserk 13 and Rubichess 240112 and has scored like Rebel 16.3 and ArasanX

Please Ed, at least watch the games before always complaining like the other Ed..
