This is amazing! Thanks for sharing. What would be the elo gain for 4KB engine?

P.S. I assume 1200 elo in chess com scale (not lichess / fide elo) and bullet chess variant?

There is a TCEC category for 4k engines. The top ones are ~3000 Elo.

It's wild to think that 4096 bytes are sufficient to play chess on a level beyond anything humans ever achieved. Makes you think what other difficult tasks are out there that take even highly gifted humans years or decades to master, but a superior algorithm would more or less fit into one of those big QR code formats.

These things always make me think back to Westworld season 2, where the finale revealed that human minds are much simpler than they themselves believe and fit completely into an algorithm that could be printed in an average book.
