All right. I will do a small tour (6 engines) in the 2100-2400 Elo range. I have two versions of Lazzy SMP (3.0_bmi2 and 4.0_popcnt). They will both be in the tournament.

Thank you for your testing❤️ I looked at the results and found that LazySMP 3.0 is stronger than LazySMP 4.0. Is this really true?

The CCRL member said he does not want to test my engine because my engine only uses 5MB of hash.
Graham Banks wrote: Fri Nov 01, 2024 2:50 am According to Task Manager, your engine is only using 5.7MB hash. Is there a way to set it to use 256MB?
Actually, the reason is that I have a waiting list of 40+ engines to test for the 40/15 list, and I'm not looking at ones that are weaker than 2400 for now. However, it would be ideal if your engine was also able to use 256mb hash.

This release be a PST/material only version, which naturally has a rating below 2100. If you only test engines with a rating above 2400, I have to add a few things:
  • Evaluation for pawns, mobility, king safety and threats
  • Restructure of eval into combined MG/EG values
  • Tuning of eval parameters, including source generation for parameter values
Do you promise to test the next version of the engine if it is above 2400?

Yes. Might not be many games though unless by some miracle I get the chance to run a gauntlet.
Genuine question - why not use your real name?

In case you have not noticed, his name is displayed in his picture profile. :) If it is real or not is hard to tell...
