Stockfish dev-20251114 won a major tournament of the strongest chess engines. Artemis 19TR sl came in second, and JudaS 1.0.1 came in third. PlentyChess 7.0.21 is increasingly approaching the playing power of Stockfish and its derivatives.

I'm getting an analysis speed of around 20 Mn/s analyzing with Stockfish 17.1 on CPU. I'll have to benchmark the speed of Lc0 on my 3080 GPU, but it's also quite competitive.

Every search for "chess" is drowned in endless articles about Trump's 4-d chess... I think it's time for his supporters to find some new metaphors ♟️♟️

Bots on chess.com and other sites use opening books to give their moves personality. The Polyglot format still has a few old fashioned conventions, like
King's side castle = e1h1,
even though the move is actually e1->g1. Uncorrected, this can cause problems in a game #chess

I recently learned that “triple check” is impossible to reach in a regular chess game. “Discovered check” with two attackers occurs all the time, however a position like the one below will crash many UCI chess engines. Just try : rnbqk1nr/ppN2ppp/5N2/1B1p4/8/3P4/PPP2PPP/R1BQK2R b KQkq - 0 1 #chess

I’m working on the lighting and shadows in the 3d game portion of my new app. I’ll share some other features soon. It has been quite fun learning Kotlin and GDScript #godot

One assumption I had was that modern chess engines are all essentially the same. Then I played a few games against Slow Chess. Is it just trolling?
