New Berserk soon?

[Uri Blass]

I am tired of SF versions. No significant progress in one year. In TCEC Berserk is leading over Dragon 3.3.

Based on our testing (Torch), SF has made substantial progress. Not sure where this no-progress-in-SF meme comes from. We‘ll catch SF16, but SF16.1 is a tough nut to crack.

I would like to know if there is progress in conditions of normal chess and it is clearly possible to make progress.

Even if all games between top engines are draws there are engines that do better against weaker engines.
Some competition between 400 opponents when everybody play 2 games against everybody may be nice so we also have enough games for the top engines(of course the engines need not to be weak so part of the players may be top engines with faster time control).

Unbalanced openings, advancement over weaker opponents...computer chess is already on extra time IMO.

Sorry for that Jouni. Would you mind sharing what library is missing? If it is a Microsoft DLL, check if this one would fix it.

Thanks, it works great by adding these three dll files to the same folder where the engine resides plus the missing libwinptread-1.dll file

Sadly I can't notice any progress over B12 after more games. These are 3m+1s games 4 cores with UHO book:

Code: Select all

                            
1   Berserk 12          +2  +32/=77/-31 50.36%   70.5/140
2   Berserk 20240311    -2  +31/=77/-32 49.64%   69.5/140

Plus?

The missing libwinptread-1.dll is one of the three missing libraries and included in my link.
