Thank you very much, Sedat, for your incredible work.

However, without detracting from the work Dorsz has done, this contradicts the metrics on the following page.

Something doesn't add up.

Dear Anton,

You are welcome and nice to read your valuable comments!

On other hand,
If you are meaning regarding the test via UHO opening suite,
You've right such as SF dev improvements did not work much!

But in the Official tour (via Unique opening suite),
SF 020425 dev. improvement seems to be better...!
Otherwise I hardly doubt to be ranked in 2nd place!

By the way,
if you're going to ask my view: why SF performed worse via UHO?
It's hard to know the true but often SF team's pre Elo diagrams,
- Does not reflect much to reality...at least under SCCT's cond. !

And just a few more words about SCCT conditions,
Hyper-Threading disabled, Large-Pages disabled,
Almost daily speed benchmarks to see stability, plus
Hash-table tests done, e.g to see which is best etc.

In other words,
Instead of SF' Team Elo diagrams, I'd prefer to rely mainly on
SCCT Hardware, Tournament Conditions, Improvements etc. !

As FINAL Conclusion:

1st of all, it is ALWAYS your CHOICE and
You can appreciate any standıng which you like more !)

But anyhow, according to my experience:
Definitely the standings via Unique suites represent better, more
Useful data (than UHO suite) to our actual chess reality... and why?
Because no so HUGE Elo differences between these Top engines!
Note: Sure here I refer about the Elo diff. for the test via UHO suite..
Moreover, Chess is a game for two sides..fl not clear: not mainly for 'Whites'!
As clear proof, please check UHO's win. percentages...almost all by WHITES!

What I can say more,
-Via Unique openings: better quality, more correct, safer!
-Via UHO openings: more FUN, more exciting, but a mystery
Eng strength, especially if the number of games is small !
For this, it's required many thousands of games (per player)
Otherwise, just a waste of time...because 'time' is money!

That's all for now and thanks for your interest... )


Best,
Sedat
