Have YOU ever heard of Ethreal before this? It's now beaten 2 legendary engines
I’ve heard of it now.
Acccording to Stockfish evaluation Database (cerebellum), 7. .....g6 ?? was suboptimal move. 7. ....Qb6 (best move)
Houdini was totally lost since move 17. . This opening mistake can be quite confidently say suboptimal move.

Well, you have to keep an eye yourself on news about chess. Chess forums (eg talkchess, immortalchess.net), rating list (eg. CCRL), Youtube videos(e.g chessnetwork, Kingcrusher)
Of course
1. No one will be sending with Junk mails to your house
2. CNN, BBC won't be announcing new chess engine release
3. chess.com, lichess wont be announcing new engines, unless there is exceptionally interesting news ( e.g A0 case)
