Elderviolet v0.3 — The Violet Awakens Latest
Latest

Elderviolet v0.3 is now officially released.

This version marks a significant stability milestone for the engine.
After 200 games against Stockfish (UCI_LimitStrength=2100) at 5+0 time control, Elderviolet scored:

63 – 107 – 30 (39%)
Estimated Elo difference: −77.7 ± 45.5

Under these test conditions, Elderviolet’s practical strength is estimated at approximately 2000 Elo.

While Stockfish’s limited-strength mode does not perfectly correspond to human ratings, this benchmark demonstrates that Elderviolet is now a stable and competitive classical search engine.

Silent. Precise. Unyielding.

The Dragon continues to evolve.
