New Berserk soon?

[Chessqueen]

bmi2 build could be faster on your Intel CPU.

Where can I get the bmi2 version, can you make it available ?

[sarona]

Of course. I will post it this weekend.

You have high hope that the newer Berserk will be stronger than Dragon 3.3 ?

I do not see high hopes for it.

Berserk 12 64 bit 4 CPU probably has only a similiar strength to Dragon by Komodo 3.3 64-bit 1 CPU
I find in the complete ccrl rating list that has all these engines also
Dragon by Komodo 3.3 64-bit 3607 +10 −10 60.9% −67.8 75.8% 2393

No.

But that doesn't matter to me. I assume most amateur chess engine authors have professions and families that require much of their time.

About a year ago, I began to take more interest in engines other than Stockfish (for the record: I am NOT frustrated with Stockfish development. On the contrary, I think they are doing a fantastic job). Mainly Lc0, but now many of the engines in CCRL Division one and two. I do not have much interest in Stockfish clones (sorry, Draude [sarcasm]) anymore.

Here are your binaries, I promised. I modified the makefile to get rid of the previous dll issue.

Thank you Ron!

I agree, only who adds HIS code to the engine sources (not only changes few values) can be proud of his contribute to the chess community. I'm very grateful to MZ, Andrea Manzo and Joseph Ellis for sharing their Stockfish derivatives (just re-enabled MZ account on Banksiagui despite the fact that he hates me thanking him for sharing HypnoS that is very stable, strong and a true improvement of latest Stockfish (all people is using it on Playchess )

TRUE geniuses are all the original engines authors Andrew Grant, Jay Honnold and Andreas Matthies that have almost reached Stockfish strenght, but I'm grateful also to all amateur engines authors.
