<br />
I've never been far from you. I've been reading every comment and all your shares all the time.<br />
<br />
Indeed i'm late recovering from the hiatus of the blog. But note that i'll be coming back very soon. I'm alive and kicking!<br />
<br />
Keep up following.<br />
<br />
The return will be good enough for you to forgive the long lasting silence.<br />
<br />

ArmFish is a project based on the assembly code to achieve the highest speed with Stockfish engine. A lot of updates have rained during February, so frequently that i thought it would be easier to share them all together, in a single post.<br />
<br />
ArmFish and MateFish are provided side by side, bearing in mind that MateFish is a specific version of ArmFish, dedicated to find mating attacks quicker rather than breaking ELO records.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">CT800 is an average level engine released by Ratmus Althoff who recently concentrated on compiling for Android and finally managed to obtain working binaries.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">CT800, in fact, was born as a dedicated chess computer idea and it was designed by Rasmus Althoff. </span><span style="text-align: justify;">The original CT800 featured an ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller of an Olimex H405 board that operates up to 168 Mhz, with 1 MB of flash memory, 192+4 kB of SRAM, and multiple I/O and USB connectors, with a 4x20 character text display, two leds, and a 4x4 + 1 keypad as peripherals aka user interface. Voltage source is due to four NiMH rechargeable AA batteries or external 5 V DC power supply.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">CT800's firmware is developed by Rasmus Althoff, released under the GPL Version 3. The chess playing software is an ARM port of George Georgopoulos' open source engine NG-play including a KPK bitbase by Marcel van Kervinck.</span></div>

I fear that the day when SF and Cfish will get hourly updates that we will try to share in time. We would probably be dying of hunger because no time would be left to eat.<br />

Matefinder is a Stockfish fork maintained by Joseph Ellis and dedicated to solve puzzles rather than hitting the highest possible ELO. Like many other derivatives, Matefinder is now updated to a new version based on Stockfish 9 code too. Enjoy!<br />

This is nothing but PBchess ported to Android by the developers. As per a comment sent to Chesstroid, i came back to analyze what engines they embedded. There's nothing new. Two engines out of three are previously shared builds of Fruit and Toga. Regarding Stockfish, although it looks like different, smaller in size, doesn't bring too much attraction after SF9. Therefore, the app is only recommended for its basic features, not the provided engines.</div>

Zevra is a weak engine written by Oleg Smirnov, around 1700 in Rapidroid scale. The Android build still causes issues on my devices, like the previous 1.4 version: A remarkable % of the games played with black by Zevra needs to be replayed after a division. I keep hoping Alexei can find the trick behind this problem with Chess for Android.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, you can always try Zevra with Droidfish or for human vs machine games in CfA.</div>

The story of compiler optimization issues observed with SF9 were applying to Cfish 9 too. That's why multiple builds came in a queue. You just pick the one that suits you well. Or, i guess you will all be more interested in the development builds which followed Cfish 9 during February. So, you may keep this Cfish 9 as a reference only in your archive.<br />

The long awaited ninth fish was finally released after TCEC-9, thanks to latest fruitful patches adding the utilization of the contempt factor. This number defines how positive (or negative) the engine will interpret its evaluation. More contempt means more optimism and less contempt means more desperation for an engine. By definition, contempt factor can convert draws to wins against a weaker engines but it can also cause losses instead of draws, while forcing for a win.<br />
<br />
By the end of Janary, the official SF9 has been released on Stockfish website. It has included Alexei Chernakoff's Android builds that i share below. The choice of the Stockfish team made us extremely happy and proud of what he achieved.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><a href="https://app.box.com/s/9keqp3whioz29bq36jjhrino1y83kbsv" style="background-color: yellow;"><b><span style="color: black;">GET</span></b></a></span> Stockfish 9.ACH (OFFICIAL) for arm7 (Jan-31th, CRC32: 23404375) and arm8<br />
<br />
After first tests, arm7 build has been found to perform worse than expected due to incompatibility between latest patches and heavy PGO+LTO optimizations used by the compiler. Arm8 builds were healthy but arm7 delivered less than +60 ELO vs SF8.<br />
<br />
Therefore, following alternatives came quickly in a few days during first week of February.<br />

<br />
I'd already chosen the 3rd build for Rapidroid before the 4th and 5th came out and didn't change it afterwards because it had played a lot and its performance was satisfying (+60 to 90 ELO depending on the progression of the rounds). So, it's up to you to decide which one suits you best.<br />
<br />
One thing is sure: More nps didn't mean higher ELO this time.<br />
