Thanks Patrick,
I am a little bit surprised as Jon wrote:
"This is primarily a bug fix release. I don't expect much if any difference in playing strength vs. version 11.6. "
Perhaps you can try new Scorpio too?

Hi Werner,

After 138 games, the rating is still 2538.
If Arasan 11.7 lost fewer games due to a bug, the rating will be climb.

Scorpio is not UCI. I have no time to test all engines so I test only the free UCI since 8 years.

I intend to change the rules of the league at the end of the month with the addition: Only UCI engines freely available on the Net, whose author is identified, which have less than 5 years and have never been marketed, are selected.

Patrick

138 games is still not a lot. Possibly this version is stronger but more games will tell. Still, thanks for testing it - all information is helpful and I find your rating list generally accurate.

which have less than 5 years and have never been marketed, are selected.

I guess you mean "which are new or updated within the past 5 years" - I assume you want recent engines?

Hi Jon,

Yes. But 5 years for an engine is not recent. I think an engine that have no update in 5 years, never will be have an update.

The engines concerned by this rule:
Aristarch 4.50 : 2004
Tao 5.6 : 2004
Pepito v1.59: 2003
Yace Paderborn: 2003
Nejmet 3.07: 2003
Dragon 4.6: 2004
Abrok 5.0: 2003
Muse 0.89b: 2004
Madeleine 0.2: 2002
WJChess v1.64: 2004
Matheus 2.3: 2004
DelphiMAX 2.9: 2004
Pooky 2.7: 2004
Philemon C: 2004
T.rex 0.17: 2003

Meanwhile version 11.6 and 11.7 of Arasan played 420 bullet games here both. I find almost no difference in playing strength (besides statistical noise):
