Enjoy

UPDATE 7

One thing more, without to not mention this I can't too,
And I will try to summarize all recent testings such as:

Time (learning, practice etc.) plays as important role to be a master..
Besides everyone was once a beginner but not everyone becomes a master!
This is not connected / needed much time to become so good in your job..

Btw, here are great sayings about over: Never send a boy to do a man's job
If still not clear: You can not make a spoon or a whistle from every tree!
And unfortunately there are such guys, who have no clue about what's going..
Actually they may have, but blaming the strong openings, just because they
Are better and stronger..this will be another madness...then may I say simply:
Stockfish or any other super strong engine is not so good.., LOL

And why I say like that? for several reasons, due some fool/s are tried to say
Such as Balsa is not good for determining strength..hehe) anything more else?
And as most strange, they forget to mention that they prefer so weak openings..
Plus they forget to mention also that thousands of games (per player) required!
Really very strange behaviours by these funny guys...actually not so complicated..
E.g in 'reality' is this all true? ok..instead of comments, here the facts are said
The 'last' word and not once..many many times!

And as a friendly advice:
Never stop 'LEARNING' if wish you stay always young and strong!

Best,
Sedat

Thank you Sedat !

And just to be more clear,
Yes...my favorite openings may not be faultless, but this is also true that
They rarely make mistakes and proved not once, not twice, many times!
Btw, as reference (for anyone missed...) here is one of tourneys: Results

On other hand (regarding the test via UHO openings),
Here I expected Stockfish to win due highly is tuned via UHO series..

And against any confusions, I have a small request:
Do not copy/paste my activities to other threads, sites..

Thank you!

Hello there again )

This is an old testing, related with various test suite openings,
But anyhow, for anyone missed, you can check, learn about
What is going on.. in case of running 100 games (per match)..
Besides..if you missed, it's not end.. better late than never !)

For these reasons, sure if your main target to run 'serious' tests..then
It is highly recommended to be careful with which suite you will pick..
Because I think that the engines deserve to be be tested in more fair
Conditions... sure I respect everyone's view..but just in case of use via
Critical weak lines..would be ideal to be played min. 4000-5000 games
Per player..otherwise, I am afraid to say that your testings may indicate
Not so correct points, results.. if not so clear, in case of small number
Of games.., then simply I suggest strong opening suites..it will be safer !!
Because strong suites are less potential to produce wrong points/results!
And this is also true, sure via strong opening suites
Sometimes even 100-300 games (per player) may produce accurate results,
Where the tests with weak openings, the chances are much less to see the real strength!!

And I strongly suggest to check, to read and learn of course, for more info:
https://sites.google.com/site/computers ... testings-2

And here is another alternative testing, related with openings as well:

That's all from Me.. now is your turn.. !)

Breaking News (28.01.2025):
Today I realized to test many more engines which are close to 3800+, where
CorChess is CorChess, managed successfully to define his Champion title!!
But I admit that SF-PRO2 was a serious Champ candidate! but unfortunately
Lost but not due to strength or needed more luck etc. simply lost due not so
Stable..e.g there are 9 games lost on time by SF-PRO2..sad, we are in 2025
But..actually I'm doing my best such as increasing move overhead to 200.. but
APOCALYPSE's engine comes with poor settings e.g no way to increase..and
Just if again SF-PRO eng series will lost on time.I'll will not test them anymore..
Because 'stability' is most important part! I assume for your side too!? Btw,
SF PRO author is informed (in past) about over these instability issues, but
It seems he is not capable to fix the mentioned time management problems...
While I'm mentioning about time management, mostly of chess engines are
Are stable..no many time loses but some (including latest SF dev. series) play
Too fast..there is unbalanced TC issue.. such as half of time control not used..
Strange, right ? I am not a programmer, but according to my experience, min
80%-90% overall time should be used (in game play, in long moves matches)
However, I'm grateful from all authors since all these Top engines are for free!
Besides, no anyone's work is perfect. including mine.., even machines make
Mistake..Ah pardon, we've perfect fools who love to criticize others but theirs
Work is so limited and it's not worth, it will be waste of time to talk more over..
Oh friends that's all for now..see you later and have fun with latest results !)
