Engine tournament of May 2023

As usual, any few months I organize an engine tournament.

I pick up the best engines (thanks Sedat for the list) and make them clash.

This time I wanted to try something more Sedat Canbaz-oriented, alhtough I admit to not have still fully grasp the method: 1 thread for any engine, many games, time 1+2, concurrential interfaces. In other words, more than one engine is playing at the same time. In this way we should have a result sooner.

What I still not have understood is how to cross data to make any engine compared to each other...

There were two simultaneous tournaments, one with all the games draw, and the other with the latest Stockfish beta winning and Crystal 5 KWK doing the punchball, another thing I didn't understood. This engine has a sharp analysis and it solves complicated puzzles like no one else before, how comes that it loses so much versus the others?

Mister Zerbinati was so gentle to give me a copy of his SugaR XPro that will enter in the tournament.

Great performances by the last Stockfish beta and the last BrainLearn, good performances by Stockfish Polyfglot 15.1.
