SPCC: Testruns of Quanticade 260519 and Raphael 4.1.1 finished

[pohl4711]

My UHO-Top15 Ratinglist is the world's first engine-ratinglist, using UHO-openings, and the world's first ratinglist offering additional Gamepair-statistics.

Testruns of Quanticade 260519 and Raphael 4.1.1 finished.

Also take a look at the EAS-Ratinglist, the world's first engine-ratinglist not measuring strength of engines but engines's style of play:

As usual, the most spectacular sac-wins of the latest testrun (won by the tested engine) can be replayed directly on my website. The pgn-viewer (by ChessBase) needs Javascript on and Adblockers off:

I wonder why Berserk 14 test? You have already tested Berserk 250606 a512, which is same engine! Is JA compile faster?

Thank you for your work. I have a question about the way you decide if a new engine enters the top15 list. Do you have it play against every engine already on the list?

The reason I'm asking is that I noticed in the full list that Quanticade 260519 has played "only" 14000 games (I guess it would be 15000 if Stockfish Dev version was included in the full list). I would expect 16000 games, instead of 15000, because there are 16 engines in the top15 list. Does that mean that Quanticade 260519 didn't play with Pawnocchio 1.9 at all? I was always a bit confused about how that works.

I was not aware, that these 2 are identical? But nonetheless, an official release should be tested anyway.

Yes, a little bit confusing.
Quanticade played not against Pawnocchio. So, after finishing the testrun, Quanticade has played against the exactly same 15 opponents as pawnocchio did. Then I compared the results and Quanticade was better, so Pawnocchio was kicked out..
And, secondly, all games of engines versus any Stockfish-Dev engine are deleted in the full ratinglist, because otherwise, the full ratinglist would contain hundreds of Stockfish Dev engines, and this would distord the list completely...
So, Quanticade played versus 15 opponents of the UHO-Top15 ratinglist (rank 1 (SF dev) to 15 (Tarnished) and after finishing the testrun, the 1000 games played versus Stockfish Dev werde deleted, before storing the remaining 14000 games in the full ratinglist gamebase.

Okay, that all makes sense. Thank you for the detailed explanation!
