Is 17.1 stronger than stockfish 18 or do you not have copyrights to the later versions?

I’m glad that you’ve asked this question, as it’s a topic of interest to many people. While we haven’t released St 18 yet, I can tell you that it’s expected to be released in about a month and a half. St 17.1 is better than St 18 in terms of elo, and it wins more often by finding non-standard moves in complex endgame positions. We have enhanced it with a new neural network and made several significant changes to reduce the delay per move. At CCRL tournaments, St 17.1 is already significantly inferior to torch v4 and Lc0 v33 beta bt-4 network rc-2 update.
