Chess engine: Aurora 1.16.2

-


UCI chess engine - Aurora.
Rating Chess Engines Diary CEDR=2370

Aurora is an actively developed UCI (Universal Chess Interface) compatible chess engine.
This means that Aurora is a command-line-based engine and you will need a UCI-Compatible GUI in order to intuitively use Aurora. See the "Usage" section below for usage instructions.

Aurora 1.16.2:
I've finally gotten back to working on Aurora! Compared to Aurora v1.11.3, Aurora v1.16.2 is stronger and has improved usability. Aurora v1.16.2 is ~100 elo stronger than its predecessor, and I also expect this release to scale slightly better at longer time controls.

Progression tests:
6+0.06:

Elo difference: 96.2 +/- 42.9, LOS: 100.0 %, DrawRatio: 25.0 %
Another notable improvement in this release is the addition of LRU, so that Aurora can search infinitely while staying within user-specified memory limits.

Both a Linux and a Windows binary are available below.

We already have the new Fritz 20 program - what does it look like and how does it work?

The purchase process for the download version on the ChessBase website took only 5 minutes. Downloading the files from the cloud was even quicker. The installation itself, which involved five large files, took maybe 7 minutes, including restarting the system and entering the serial number I received upon purchase. The start image for Fritz 20 has a strange mosaic of colors; perhaps I'll get used to it. As you can see in the second screenshot, the program interface hasn't changed much; only the icons are different (we've been using Fritz 17 until now). It looks nice, but it's no major revolution. The next two screenshots show engine management and the installation of the UCI chess engine (here, Cataphract 1.1). As you can see, there are no changes. Screenshot no. 5 shows the analysis of some position by Fritz 20 engines. The changes are minimal - it is still very legible. Finally, on screen 6 we have the engine tournament table generated by Fritz 20 . I think it is sti...
