CCRL 40/15, 40/2 and FRC lists updated (26th December 2021)

40/2 FRC testing since the last update report has included (thanks to Ray):
Revenge 2.0 64-bit (in progress)
Berserk 8.0 64-bit (in progress)

These two have been completed now, as well as Ethereal 13.25

I had been in no rush to test Ethereal 13.25 with its built-in generic NNUE, thinking it may be weaker than 13.00 with the specific FRC-trained NNUE, but it did come out a handful of Elo stronger subject to error margins.

Mini 3.17 is now underway.

13.25 standard net gaining over 13.00 fischer net is mildly surprising. 13.50 soon I hope, and you'll be the first person I contact, since the FRC version is by far the most impressive part of it at this time.

Recent TCEC results so far back your statement up. Ethereal has been impressive in FRC. We'll see how it goes in the next league.

40/2 testing since the last update report has included (thanks to Gabor, Basti and Sergio):

BLANK 1.3.0 64-bit

Thanks for testing BLANK v1.3.0! Seems to have a nice increase in strength compared to v1.2.0
