This is an ever growing list of UCI chess engines, I was able to compile & test for Windows on ARM64.
The strength of each engine is measured by the CCRL 40/15 method.

Tip
In order to conveniently use these chess engines, hook them up into your favourite UCI GUI chess programme like En Croissant.
- Simply extract the content of each engine archive into the main directory of
en-croissant.exe. - Then start the GUI, go to the engine section, pick Local and add them by pointing to each
engine.exe. - Entering an ELO value and a logo image is entirely optional but improves the overall ambience.
