Stockfish benchmark data

I am trying to collect Stockfish nodes per second data from the computer chess community and I hope to get plenty of volunteers. The information will be useful for comparing computer chess results between computers.

Nobody seems to know. Nelson and I have not heard anything from Martin since February, and I do not know of anybody else who has either.

Re: "Neoclassical" chess

Interesting. I have been conducting "neoclassical" chess matches for years and have thought it could be applied to human play. It is a pity that I never made the step to claim intellectual property rights like this "inventor" :lol:

error bars aside : H3 is above H3 Tactical in CCRL 40/40 and CCRL 40/4. For example, I see H3 = H3 Tactical + 40 elo on CCRL 40/40, after 53 games for H3 tactical and 995 for H3 ...
