Latest Website-News (2025/08/17): Testrun of Integral 250805 finished: +6 Celo to Integral 250708. But +80 Celo to Integral 7 (latest official release in February 2025) in my Ratinglist. Very impressive progress in only 6 months.

Dont forget to take a look at my EAS-Ratinglist (The world's first engine-ratinglist not measuring strength of engines, but engines's style of play).

 

Next testrun: Alexandria 8.1

 

Rebel Extreme 1.1 was released by Ed Schroeder. Ed's own testings show very impressive EAS-scores of this new release. Testrun for my full UHO Ratinglist started (of course, Rebel Extreme 1.1 is way too weak for the UHO-Top15 Ratinglist). Download the avx2-binary (there is just one binary) here

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: 2025/08/17: Integral 250805 (+6 Celo to Integral 250708)

 

(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.
