The chess engine Berserk 13 achieved an excellent result in this large tournament. The engines that took places 2 and 3 (Obsidian dev-12.29 and PlentyChess 1.0.0-dev) were already far behind the winner.

However, it is worth noting that a new version of PlentyChess 2.0.0 is now available!

An interesting tournament in which clones based on the Stockfish engine code took part. Only one game did not end in a draw, and Yuli GM Pro 16 won. The only defeat was for Fisherov, who has not been developed for 2 years.

The tournament of the best chess engines was won by Deep Ripper -1. In 2nd place Stockfish 20240605 Ivec. Places 3 and 4 were shared by Dragon 3.3 and Stockfish 16.1 engines.

However, the results were "skewed" by numerous errors occurring in the engines. E.g. Lc0 BT4 - as many as 34 fails!
