With VSTC (15"+0.25) single threaded I had even a rather suspect result against Ethereal 14.00:

Score of berserk-11-x64-avx2-pext vs Ethereal-14.00-pext-avx2: 96 - 33 - 171 [0.605]
... berserk-11-x64-avx2-pext playing White: 82 - 1 - 67 [0.770] 150
... berserk-11-x64-avx2-pext playing Black: 14 - 32 - 104 [0.440] 150
... White vs Black: 114 - 15 - 171 [0.665] 300
Elo difference: 74.1 +/- 25.6, LOS: 100.0 %, DrawRatio: 57.0 %
300 of 300 games finished.

Not sure, if the 15 concurrent games at the 16x3.5GHz CPU were really of equal chances as for thread- binding, but I didn't see any problems in task manager as long as I was watching. Single games I had checked so far indicate Ethereal coming into time- shortness now and then sooner than Berserk, but no losses on time as far as I saw till now neither.
If your and my results really are to be seen as for height of difference to Koivisto and Etheral quantitatively (which of course they aren't with only two opponents and two different hardware- TCs, openings were UHO 6mvs of evaluation 110-119 again), distance to Dragon even would be only half of what it was, guess at least as for my VSTC- results I doubt that much.
I'd wait for results at big lists.

Edit: STS- MEA again too (like in the other thread about Berserk 11)

My testruns (SPCC-Ratinglist and UHO-Top10-ratinglist) of Berserk 11 are running since some hours here and I can say, that Berserk 11 intermediate results look very promising...Results probably tuesday morning (CET).

Stay tuned!

Short thinking time 1m + 0.6s move on MacBook Pro M1, 1100 games.

A noticeable increase in the strength of Berserk 11.
Congratulations to Jay Honnold and jherrera80 :)

It's great that the Berserk source code can be easily compiled for different systems. I respect that and thank you very much!

There is quite serious tablebase bug.

Berserk don't output anything here with syzygy access!

I played test games without tablebases.

Not really a bug.
When position is in tablebase, Berserk just plays the winning move without showing PV or eval. I must admit that this is confusing when using the GUI in analyse mode and "go infinite" is not allowed to display a move, so Berserk doesn't show anything.
When seraching and finding a TB win, the score in Berserk output is probably something like 32000 - DTZ. Which is misinterpreted as "mate in x moves" by the GUI cause there is no specification in UCI for scores showing a TB win.
