maybe, one of the most balanced (strength between mid-game and endgame) TOP-10 engines.
Like the contempt settings and my feeling is ...
Which each new version better in attacking chess against the King with many pieces on board (OK, tested with complicated Kings-Indian positions only). For that opening system indeed it seems a bit better as King-Indian expert SlowChess.

So I have a little bit to do for looking in my other favorite Dutch and Scandinavian systems.

Much more as a nice work only, thank you!!
Analyze gift!!

Thank you to the author Andreas Matthies for the wonderful new RubiChess :)

Feel free to download the Mac Apple Silicon and Linux arm64 versions from my site (Files - Chess Engines).

Where are the Online Tablebase searches being searched at when option is checked?
https://tablebase.lichess.ovh/tables/ is queried (more info about it here).
Searching in root positions (OnlineTablebaseInRootPositions) works reasonably well.
However, I'm afraid the implementation of online tb probing during search (OnlineTablebaseInSearch) is pretty much useless as of now, one just gets rated-limited too quickly. I should probably hide this second option for now, to be honest.

Understood, Thanks for the response.

I really enjoy following the games of this engine. They have been a pleasure to watch.
I took you up on that and I'm totally amazed! I didn't think it was possible for a superhumanly strong (3000+ Elo on CCRL)
nn-based engine to have such a risky and unbalanced style of play, constantly throwing caution to the wind in order to
get good attacking chances. I never got around to testing Vengeance prior to today, but its games are must-see action! :D

Author name is wrong - seems like a typical Arena error with a similar program name ;)
