Latest Website-News (2025/10/01): Testrun of Patricia 5.0 xtremeEAS (this experimental version uses the super-aggressive net all the time, which is normally used only for playing vs. humans, when using skill-level below 21) finished. See the results on Patricia - the EAS Engine or in the full Ratinglist

In my testrun, Patricia 5.0 xtremeEAS played -70 Celo weaker than Patricia 5, but still +14 Celo stronger than Patricia 4. But the EAS-score increased from 556k (Patricia 4) and 644k (Patricia 5) to 751k (= +35.1% to Patricia 4 and +16.6% to Patricia 5). IMHO, this is a very good deal, compared to Patricia 5 default...

Stay tuned


UHO-Top15 Engines Ratinglist (+ regular testing of Stockfish Dev-versions)

 

 

Playing conditions:

 

The 15 strongest engines and the latest StockfishDev version are playing 1000 games vs. each opponent: 15000 games per engine are played. A RoundRobin Tournament with 120000 games overall !

 

Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX 16-core (32 threads) notebook with 64GB RAM (since 2024/10/08), 2 identical machines. Windows 11 64bit

Speed: (singlethread, TurboBoost-mode switched off, chess starting position) Stockfish 17: 600 kn/s (when 26 games are running simultaneously)

Hash: 512MB per engine

GUI: Cutechess-cli (GUI ends game, when a 5-piece endgame is on the board, all other games are played until mate or draw by chess-rules (3fold, 50-moves, stalemate))

Tablebases: None for engines, 5 Syzygy for cutechess-cli

OpeningsMy UHO_2022_6mvs_+120_+129 openings are used (first 500 lines) (UHO 2022 openings are part of my Anti Draw Openings download-package). 

Ponder, Large Memory Pages & learning: Off

Thinking time: 3min+1sec per game/engine. One testrun (15000 games) takes around 80-85 hours (=3.5 days)

The version-numbers of the Stockfish engines are the date of the latest patch, which was included in the Stockfish sourcecode, not the release-date of the engine-file, written backwards (year,month,day))(example: 200807 = August, 7, 2020). The used SF compile is the AVX512-compile, which is the fastest on my AMD Ryzen CPU. SF binaries are taken from https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/releases (except the official SF-release versions, which are taken form the official Stockfish website).

Read the explanation, why I chose my testing-conditions, like I did here

 

Latest update: 2025/09/29: PlentyChess 7.0.0 (+8 Celo to PlentyChess 6.0.15)

 

(Ordo-calculation fixed to Stockfish 17.1 = 3854 Celo. Mention, there are no human or "realistic" Elo numbers in enginechess, since the engines reached superhuman strength, so I decided to use "Celo" (=Computer Elo) instead)

Below the UHO-Top15 Ratinglist, recalculated with Gamepairs (using my Gamepair Rescoring Tool V1.5), Ordo-calculation fixed to Stockfish 17.1 = 3854 Celo, realizing Vondele's (Stockfish Maintainer) idea: "Thinking uniquely in game pairs makes sense with the biased openings used these days. While pentanomial makes  sense it is a bit complicated so we could simplify and score game pairs only (not games) as W-L-D (a traditional score of 2-0, or 1.5-0.5 is just a W)."

Mention, the errorbar here is +/-5.5 Celo (=11 overall Error), compared to +/-4 Celo in the classical ratinglist above (=1.375 wider errorbar here). But the result-gaps are (at least) 2x up to 2.5x bigger (in average), calculating with gamepairs. So, the statistical reliability of the results is much better in the Gamepair-ratinglist, compared to the classical ratinglist...

CFS means Chance For Superiority in percent, calculated by ORDO.
