Breaking News - 19.12.2023:
Well this time,
Solista Solista Solista CTG is said the last word, impressive!
The good news:is that Mr. Eduard's books for 1st time is became Champion..
Plus other good news, Mr. AJ's
Lion book for 1st time became Champ as well
Sure,
Grendel, Alchemist, Dragon Tooth etc. are performed very good too!
Be aware, via latest update 25 opening books are entered..e.g one of them is
OrangeSuite is new strong CTG (by Mr Angel Morano) submitted today/tested..
As other CTG book entries: Alchemist, DarkGalactus, Feta and FireOnBoard
On the other hand, I admit also that mostly strong Trend books are suffered..!
Due to current contest is played with limited book settings (up to 10 moves)
But this is also true that (like every book), some lines need to be optimized..
At least I can say for my books, I will check more closely about weaknesses..
To be more clear regarding why I preferred with book settings up to 10 moves
1st of all, rather I'd say about the current tour, as experimental book testing..
Because via this tour, for 1st time, CTG books are played under CuteChess
And if we are going deeper (in lines) via CTG: this time the risk is increasing!
As I stated earlier, some of green lines are not used to play...this is a BUG !
If still not clear, sure not always...but quite frequently I noticed that instead of
The green lines, the disabled opening moves are used to play...and not only
Via SF-SCCT engine, unfortunately this bug contains in all..(with CTG future)
But up to 10 moves, it seems to be more safe, otherwise CTG books would
Not be ranked one of best, if nothing else many CTG ones proved to be so!
Meanwhile, the latest strength results are on Openchess and on Goi forum
Otherwise some may have confusions that SF-SCCT is stronger..but it's not..
Here..under these conditions the main role about gaining better points is that,
A very well-hand tuning is required...and the opening repertoire have to be
Quite limited and to be used the strongest Trend openings..just one example
Balsa, Perfect or Unique book's openings would never gain higher points vs
Current Top trend books, because I've used to play many various openings..
Otherwise, if using a small number lines then wouldn't be boring for tests?
Sure I 'm referring about Eng testings (not for Book tours), one thing more,
Plus X engine's strength can not be determined by a few Trend openings!
Anyhow, I'm satisfied with my used openings, at least they are not so weak..
For anyone missed, the other my created book is Sun, played in: BN XXII
And if I'm not wrong, I spent minus plus 10 minutes for Sun book's creation
Ok. chess friends the tour is over, thank you and my congratulations to all!
And I hope you like my efforts?! e.g just for this posting I spent many time..
