Simply shocking... Stockfish boosts to the top very significantly even before v7 comes, with a development version, while the Komodo 9.3 update turns to a disappointment. Just because i'd started with Jim Ablett's 121215 before v7 has been released via Droidfish, i've prefered to finish what's already started. Maybe i should better wait a little bit more...
Regarding unexpected regression of Komodo, uninstalling and reinstalling didn't change the bad trend. Checking all default options showed no sign of setting error either. Everything is exactly the same as it was set for Komodo 9.2 which used to perform very well.
The reptile had seen a big success with highest number of threads and very long time controls in the TCEC-8 experiment. In constrast, the extra fuel seems to evaporate when it comes to play relatively tiny games under Android. Shortly, i'll be missing Komodo 9.2.
Bearing in mind that Stockfish 7 compile coming with Droidfish looks even stronger than 121215, the next Rapidroid promises a higher gap already.
The highlights of this release are:
* UPDATED Arasan 18.1 to 18.2
* UPDATED Floyd 0.6 to Floyd 0.7
* UPDATED Komodo 9.2 to 9.3
* UPDATED Scorpio 2.7.7 to arm7 version
* UPDATED Stockfish 6 to 121215 JA
* DELETED Galjoen 0.30.1 due to cpu hogging
The list is calibrated using CCRL 40/4 ratings of 38 engines, converted to Exynos 4412, assuming that the latter performs 65 and 110 ELO lower than 32 and 64 bit engines of CCRL respectively.
Targets for next release:
* Introduce Stockfish 7 (for sure!), ExChess 7.88 and Crafty 25.0 updates
* Introduce arm7 versions of RedQueen and Phalanx
