Blitz Rating List — Accumulated Official Surface + New VPS Regular Season
This page updates the IJCCRL Original UCI Track Blitz rating surface by adding the closed 396-game VPS Regular Season to the previous 660-game official regular-season table. The accumulated surface carries 1,056 regular-season games, 176 games per engine and exact 88 White / 88 Black colour balance per engine. The knockout audit evidence remains disclosed: M1 is recorded as a Stockfish win over PlentyChess, but the PGN package is currently unavailable and therefore the match is disclosed as documentary bracket evidence rather than a full audit package; M2, M3 and M4 are audit-closed; M5 is retained only as accepted 48-game balanced subset evidence after excluding the incomplete final mirrored cycle from the raw 50-game VPS package. The semifinal stage uses the first four classified engines by accumulated order. SF-M1 is audit-closed: Stockfish dev-20260426-1a882efc defeated Alexandria-9.0.9 by 30.0–20.0 over a clean 50-game mirrored match with exact 25 White / 25 Black per engine, openingIndex 50 and pending null. SF-M2 is now audit-closed: Reckless 0.10.0-dev-8ba888c6 defeated Obsidian dev-16.15 by 29.5–20.5 over a clean 50-game mirrored match with exact 25 White / 25 Black per engine, openingIndex 50 and pending null. The final is now audit-closed: Stockfish dev-20260426-1a882efc defeated Reckless 0.10.0-dev-8ba888c6 by 55.5–44.5 over a clean 100-game fixed mirrored final, exact 50 White / 50 Black per engine, 50 closed UHO mirrored opening units, pair ratio 0, openingIndex 100, pending null and no timeout, readyok-timeout, forfeit, crash, illegal move, engine error or exception evidence. Stockfish is the IJCCRL Arena Series 2026 — Blitz 5+2 — Original UCI Track champion.
Method note
- Previous official surface: 660 games, 110 games per engine, exact 55 White / 55 Black.
- Added VPS regular season: 396 games, 66 games per engine, exact 33 White / 33 Black.
- Accumulated surface: 1,056 games, 176 games per engine, exact 88 White / 88 Black.
- Reference scale: Elo base 3700 for the Original UCI Blitz pool.
- The updated Elo column is an accumulated Ordo-aligned surface anchored to the previous official Ordo table and the added 396-game phase.
- For a byte-identical Ordo rerun over the whole 1,056-game corpus, the previous 660-game PGN/results package should be rerun together with this 396-game package.
New phase audit note
- The added VPS phase is structurally closed: 396/396 games, 12 engines, 66 games per engine and no scheduler pending state.
- All 198 mirrored units are closed with pair ratio 0.
- Operational caveat: berserk-avx2-d432net, integral-avx2 and plentychess-avx2 produced systematic proxy_fatal losses in the added phase.
- The accumulated table preserves those results because the phase is administratively closed, but the caveat should remain visible to the chesscomputer community.
- Berserk 14 is the forward engine identity to be used after replacing the old Berserk binary path.
Official Accumulated Rating List — Original UCI Track
The rating list appears first because it is the official statistical surface. GP explicitly shows the previous 660-game surface plus the newly added 396-game VPS regular season. The pairings below use this updated order and the requested 1–10, 2–9, 3–8, 4–7, 5–6 seeding rule.

Knockout Bracket Record — R8M-M1 — Stockfish vs PlentyChess
R8M-M1 is recorded as a Stockfish win for bracket continuity, but the PGN/results/scheduler package is currently unavailable on the server and therefore this row is not presented as a full IJCCRL audit pass. The disclosure is kept explicit so the public page does not claim evidence that is not currently present in the archived package set.
Bracket record
- Match: IJCCRL Arena Series 2026 — Original UCI Track — R8M-M1 — Stockfish vs PlentyChess.
- Recorded sporting decision: Stockfish dev-20260426-1a882efc advances.
- Opponent: PlentyChess 7.0.66.
- Audit status: documentary bracket record only.
- Reason: the PGN/results/scheduler package could not be located on the server for full forensic validation.
Publication rule
- The result is used only to prepare the next bracket phase.
- No 50-game score, colour balance claim, mirrored-unit claim or pair-ratio claim is published for M1 until the package is recovered.
- If the archive is later found, the page should be updated with the full audit block.
- Current next-phase consequence: Stockfish is included as the highest qualified seed.

- The corrected audit package removes one complete mirrored unit so that both engines remain at 25 White and 25 Black games.
- The corrected score is Alexandria 27.5–22.5 Clover.
- Operational note for the next scripts: stop exactly at 50 games and avoid inherited Source labels from previous match launchers.
Knockout Audit Update — R8M-M5 — Viridithas vs Caissa
R8M-M5 is accepted for publication only as a clean balanced 48-game subset. The raw VPS package contained 50 games and the package hash was valid, but the raw match failed the strict 50-game mirrored contract because the colour balance was Viridithas 26 White / 24 Black and Caissa 24 White / 26 Black. The first 48 games restore exact 24 White / 24 Black per engine and are therefore used as the corrected bracket evidence. This block is deliberately labelled as an accepted subset rather than a full 50-game audit pass.
Accepted subset result
| Engine | Score | W-D-L | W/B |
|---|---|---|---|
Viridithas 20.0.0-dev Key: viridithas-avx2 | 26.5 / 48 55.21% | 21-11-16 | 24 / 24 |
Caissa 1.25 AVX2 Key: caissa-avx2 | 21.5 / 48 44.79% | 16-11-21 | 24 / 24 |
Audit controls
- Accepted publication status: corrected 48-game balanced subset.
- Raw package integrity: SHA256 verified.
- Raw package: 50 PGN games, results.json present and scheduler_state.json present.
- Raw 50-game issue: colour balance failed at 26/24 instead of 25/25.
- Accepted subset: first 48 games only.
- Accepted subset colour balance: exact 24 White and 24 Black games per engine.
- Tiebreak required: no.
- Official bracket consequence: Viridithas advances over Caissa by 26.5–21.5 on the accepted subset.
Result structure
- Accepted subset PGN result distribution: 37 wins for White, 11 draws and 0 wins for Black.
- Colour score in accepted subset: White 42.5/48, Black 5.5/48.
- Viridithas by colour: 22.5/24 as White and 4.0/24 as Black.
- Caissa by colour: 20.0/24 as White and 1.5/24 as Black.
- Termination distribution in accepted subset: 37 checkmates, 6 threefold repetitions and 5 insufficient-material results.
- Total recorded TB hits in accepted subset: 2,588,019.
Correction note
- The raw 50-game result was Viridithas 28.5–21.5 Caissa.
- The raw 50-game result is not used as the official bracket result because the final mirrored cycle was incomplete.
- The excluded games are the last two games of the raw package, both from the incomplete final C25 block with Viridithas as White.
- This restores balanced engine colours but does not claim the originally intended 25 mirrored opening units.
- Operational action: the Ubuntu Node launcher must be corrected so it advances the opening only after the complete colour-reversed mirrored unit and stops on a contract that preserves colour balance.
Added Regular Season Audit Update — VPS 396-Game Phase
The added phase is accepted as structurally closed under IJCCRL rules. It contributes 396 games to the accumulated rating page, increasing each engine from 110 to 176 total games on this public rating surface.
Audit controls
- Final state: 396/396 games closed.
- Engines: 12.
- Per-engine state: 66 games, 33 White and 33 Black for every engine.
- Scheduler state: openingIndex 396 and pending null.
- Mirrored structure: 198/198 mirrored units closed.
- Pair ratio: 0.
- PGN/JSON parity: 396/396.
- Top added-phase score: Stockfish dev-20260426-1a882efc with 52.0/66.
- Added phase Top 8 by score: Stockfish, Reckless, Obsidian, Alexandria, Viridithas, Caissa, Clover and RubiChess.
Operational caveat
- proxy_fatal terminations in added phase: 180.
- Affected engines: berserk-avx2-d432net, integral-avx2 and plentychess-avx2.
- Each affected engine completed the structural contract of 66 games, but their scores include systematic UCI/proxy failures.
- Forward action: replace the previous Berserk engine identity with Berserk 14 before future matches.
- Publication doctrine: the rating surface includes the closed results, and the operational caveat remains disclosed rather than hidden.
Historical Knockout Archive Note
The previous 660-game surface and its Top 8 knockout closure remain part of the historical archive of this page. The current rating list above is the accumulated public statistical surface after adding the new 396-game VPS regular season. The new pairing map is therefore based on the updated accumulated order, not on the old 660-game knockout bracket.
Previous closed bracket summary
- Previous regular-season archive: 660 games, 110 games per engine, 55 White / 55 Black.
- Previous Top 8 bracket: Stockfish, Reckless, PlentyChess, Obsidian, Alexandria, Integral, Viridithas and Caissa.
- Previous final: Stockfish dev-20260426-1a882efc defeated Reckless 0.10.0-dev-8ba888c6 by 113.0–87.0 over 200 audited games.
- Previous champion: Stockfish dev-20260426-1a882efc.
Current page doctrine
- The rating table is now placed at the beginning of the page.
- The page explicitly shows previous GP + added GP = accumulated GP.
- The new pairing map uses the updated accumulated rating order.
- SF-M1 is audit-closed with Stockfish defeating Alexandria by 30.0–20.0.
- SF-M2 is audit-closed with Reckless defeating Obsidian by 29.5–20.5.
- The final is audit-closed with Stockfish defeating Reckless by 55.5–44.5 over 100 clean fixed mirrored games.
- Current champion: Stockfish dev-20260426-1a882efc.
- Berserk 14 is named as the future replacement identity in the public list.
