@ to Skynet

MANY THANKS...SOLVED! and WORKED !

To be more clear, with your 'golden' tips etc. and
After a quick test (100 games), all worked fine !!
I mean all games are recorded as it is 30s+0.5s

And I used my pre-configurated settings files again,
In same time means this Deeds is wrong here again..sorry..
But no doubt that Skynet's great help e.g via sending all the
Files (including DLL) are made as serious role over...
At least it seems to be so.. where now the problem is fixed!
And in next future tours (in case of fast bullet e.g 30s+0.5s):
It is expecting to be recorded (in PGN) as it is: 30s+0.5s

Thank you again

Breaking News (23.11.2024):
1st of all, sorry for delay from SedatChess fans) for anyone missed / interested,
In short: sometimes not all in my hands...as a human, I've done my best to fight
Against injustices, to give reasonable messages to all chess community: Details
viewtopic.php?t=316
And I realized to be active on Openchess , where later I hope to add all 'Trollers'
In my Foe list..frankly so far I did not add anyone..but worth giving try, right?)
And now let's back to current CS ) a new tour idea: all Top books are played by
SF-PB 2908924 SC (3800+ Elo ) Vs constant engines, which are much weaker..
And those weaker engines are played with same book (based on Lichess games)
Yes..under these new exciting conditions, the Winner: Skynet 180724, if I'm not
Wrong, this great one is based SCCT games...and once more Mr. Aleks proves
Again to all of us that he is true talent not only in eng programming, but talented
Author in book making too! And once more we noticed any book performance is
Depending on our used cond. Also impressive points come by DON, SOLIDOR,
Kill Bookson, Esculapio, Cevdet etc. Note also that some fast Bullet tour games
Such as 30s+0.5s are saved as 30s (in older tours), due to Chessbase bug..but
Reason I often... even I can say for almost all my shared SCCT PGN databases,
I work from PGN to CBH to PGN (editing ECO codes, EVENT names..) but this time,
As reference, I shared as it is(Cutechess GUI's default produced PGN database)
In other words, don't worry..and be sure all tours played as it is..with increments
Ok dear friends that's all for now..see you later, Meanwhile, as I stated earlier,
I hope to drop my tempo...main reason, chess is not most important in my life..)
And I assume for many people too..anyhow Let's Live Computer Chess Forever!

XXXVIII's Champion: Skynet 180724 - My Congratulations to Aleks (Skynet)!

More Details:
Just out of curiosity, I realized to test exactly the same book,
Which are used to play all the weaker (constant) chess engines!
As I expected, Lichess 2024 performed not as best, but for better
Performance required special tuning and beta testings..BTW, if
I'm not wrong.. I spent approx. 15 min..anyhow not a weak book,
Because as we see close to successful ones of previous XXXVII CS

Note also that,
This time Lichess 2024 book's games are recorded as 30sec,
Since I used Chessbase program, copy-paste from pgn to pgn
Reason,I needed to share only 1000 games out of 14000 games
Actually there are some other ways, as without Chessbase, e.g
Each time I have to set for games a new PGN output..but will
Be too complicated for each test etc. so now I hope you give
Understanding.. otherwise, sharing all database (14000 games)
Will be pointless and meaningless, right? that's why you have
To be in my shoes (as TD) to understand about what's going on )

Hello Chess Friends,

As usual, I'm pleased to announce:
A new tournament idea is born:
I am going to organize a new CS with engines,
Which are capable to learn... since recently
We talked much about learning chess engines )
If not running it..there will be a BIG miss...!)

Yes..we will see about which ones will be best,
You know..we can't know until we try, right?)
Moreover, after checking...no any new data is
Available in latest months, actually available
But only in SCCT! anyhow these tours are already
Old-dated! Sure if I am missing something here,
Please correct Me... regarding all over...
At least I may save time, I mean if available ..

On other hand,
Rather I'd say a new Rating (not tour) will be..
If short tours (e.g small number games per player)
No much ways to see which are strongest..! But
If running Rating (with a lot of games per player),
Then no doubt that the error margin will be less!

By the way,
Why often I mention all these important tips etc?
Simply because to gain...e.g some TDs miss a lot..
Sure anyone is free, but it will be not bad idea
At least once, to work over a good rating, e.g if using
Strong openings, run about 1000+ games (per player),
If weak lines run min. 4000-5000+ games (per player)
Otherwise, believe it or not it is as mystery to see
Regarding which is better / stronger etc
And just in case...please don't forget to include a lot
Lot of players too, as we know, the more, the better!

Be aware too, for better eng learning effect:
A lot players will be played in Round-Robin!

And please stay tuned, more info soon )

Greetings

[Sedat Canbaz]

UPDATE

Well, the Championship is Started...! and for right
Now, Brainlearn 30 is current Leader! Impressive !!
Sure we are just in beginning.. let's see after 1000
Games...about what will be next new standings...

Note also that,
I realized to include many former Champions as well..
And stated earlier, all are playing as learning enabled!

Be aware too please,
Special version of Unique opening suite is used..
Based on 60 openings.. as you see , I pick small
Number of openings to increase learning effects!

1224 of 9180 games finished.

More Details:
In the end, after the competition...the Winner will be played
As without learning...then we may have some new data about
The influences: Learning vs Non-Learning...

And according to my experience over long past years:
Best learning engines are much less potential to play same
Blunders, while the ones, which are not capable to learn,
As result, (sure here I refer in case of critical positions...)
They may repeat exactly the same mistakes over and over!

In other words,
Never stop 'learning' if wish you stay always young and strong!)

And more new updates soon as possible..

Best,
Sedat

UPDATE 2

Well, Brainlearn 30 is leading as before,
Where 2nd Spectral 5 and 3rd Eman 10

Sure still too early for final conclusion,
But I guess Brainlearn will be Champion!
Because as we see, it's points clearly ahead ...

On other hand, interesting to point out,
Some older versions perform even better
Than many newer releases..!!

But this is also true that,
The oldest ones (Raubfish, SolistAtack etc) are at last places..
I mean here no any BIG surprise..

Eman 10 has never been released, I am still testing it in beta. It only exist on my hardware and Khalid's.
Those who I have seen using it on playchess are fake Eman.

[Sedat Canbaz]

IMPORTANT UPDATE (ABOUT ERROR MARGIN)

Check please Raubfish ranks between
UPDATE 1 vs UPDATE 2

Where you will notice that they are not same...
And why? over long past years what I say ?)
1000+ games (not 100 or 200 or 300 etc ) per play needed!
Sure for accurate, true metrics...otherwise it's hard to
Determine the right standings...at least current,
Actıually mostly test results indicate this, right ?)
