In one of CCRL running leagues (15 games each played so far), the average draw rate of all the other programs is about 10-12 draws per 15 games. Eg very few win/loss results.
Compare and contrast Chess System Tal Extreme on the same tournament, only 2 draws in 15 games. 13 are wins/losses.
Only a few games of data but if those stats continue it would not only be remarkable but counter to current theories on the nature of chess.

What stats do you have for other stuff in that Elo range?

Re: Chess System Tal Extreme, draw rate very low
I count 63 draws in 112 games for the “other” engines = 55% draw rate.
And 3 draws in 16 games = 20% draw rate for Chess System Tal Extreme.
That’s a dramatic difference. Would still be interested to know your stats for that particular division in general.

Re: Chess System Tal Extreme, draw rate very low
I can do the same for some other engines close in strength once I'm up again.
