Alexandria 8.1.2 wins Fritz 15 New Engines Test, 2025.09.23-26


The tournament on an older, 12-year-old computer was won by the Alexandria 8.1.2 chess engine. Wordfish 2.50 dev-210925 came in second, and Brainlearn 31 came in third. This result suggests that engines like Alexandria may not burden the system as much as those based on Stockfish's code, and therefore might be better for analysis for users of older hardware. 🏆
