Ich dachte zuerst es sei ein Scherz. Leider doch nicht.
Früher wurde eine neue Version alle 100 elo beziehungsweise später alle elo veröffentlicht und ausnahmsweise wegen der Fat Fritz 2 Geschichte wurde eine 30 elo stärkere Version veröffentlicht das war aber eine einmalige Ausnahme.
Was ist denn jetzt der Grund dafür gewesen nach nur 30 elo wieder eine neue Version zu veröffentlichen???
Erst recht wenn man sich die Entwicklung in der letzten Zeit anschaut die steil nach oben geht. Aber offenbar reicht es aus dass irgendwelche Kinder nach Stockfish 14 rufen und sofort wird die Version veröffentlicht.
Stockfish 14 müsst ihr euch nicht herunterladen. Schließlich gibt es in ungefähr zwei Monaten Stockfish 15.
Ab 2022 wird bereits nach nur 15 elo eine neue Version veröffentlicht.

Stockfish 14
Official release version of Stockfish 14
Bench: 4770936
---
Today, we have the pleasure to announce Stockfish 14.
As usual, downloads will be freely available at
https://stockfishchess.org The engine is now significantly stronger than just a few months ago,
and wins four times more game pairs than it loses against the previous
release version [0]. Stockfish 14 is now at least 400 Elo ahead of
Stockfish 7, a top engine in 2016 [1]. During the last five years,
Stockfish has thus gained about 80 Elo per year.
Stockfish 14 evaluates positions more accurately than Stockfish 13 as
a result of two major steps forward in defining and training the
efficiently updatable neural network (NNUE) that provides the evaluation
for positions.
First, the collaboration with the Leela Chess Zero team - announced
previously [2] - has come to fruition. The LCZero team has provided a
collection of billions of positions evaluated by Leela that we have
combined with billions of positions evaluated by Stockfish to train the
NNUE net that powers Stockfish 14. The fact that we could use and combine
these datasets freely was essential for the progress made and demonstrates
the power of open source and open data [3].
Second, the architecture of the NNUE network was significantly updated:
the new network is not only larger, but more importantly, it deals better
with large material imbalances and can specialize for multiple phases of
the game [4]. A new project, kick-started by Gary Linscott and
Tomasz Sobczyk, led to a GPU accelerated net trainer written in
pytorch.[5] This tool allows for training high-quality nets in a couple
of hours.
Finally, this release features some search refinements, minor bug
fixes and additional improvements. For example, Stockfish is now about
90 Elo stronger for chess960 (Fischer random chess) at short time control.
The Stockfish project builds on a thriving community of enthusiasts
(thanks everybody!) that contribute their expertise, time, and resources
to build a free and open-source chess engine that is robust, widely
available, and very strong. We invite our chess fans to join the fishtest
testing framework and programmers to contribute to the project on
github [6].
Stay safe and enjoy chess!
The Stockfish team
