Meanwhile (for anyone missed.. about book registration rules):
https://sites.google.com/site/computers ... -cs-15-2nd

• In this Championship, all books are allowed (Private plus Public...)
It is planning to be active for a month (30 days), in case of interest:
BIN / CTG book registrations are acceptable (once per month): Contact
• By unknown is required min 100 games (played on Playchess etc.)
This rule can be called as VISA, it's just against cheating for Details
• As bonus, SCCT's frequent book authors can submit several books
To be more clear, each other have to be different in playing styles...
• Maximum (compressed) size limit for CTG: 500 MB / BIN: 250 MB
As another BONUS (for frequent..), I can accept even 1 GB in size

Note also that,
Please do not pay attention to previous played old book vers.
As usual, these Top books are tested mainly out of curiosity..
And if you ask Me why I test old-dated book too...?) because
Many times we noticed that, older books became as Champions!
Or they managed to be ranked at one of the Top ranks ...!
You may know, it does not mean 'newer' are better/Winners !)

But where this time,
New DON vers does not allow to older book ones to perform better...
E.g so far, best of best is DON book, with win. percentage: 59%
Really a great NNUE book record.. one of the best that ever seen!!

By the way, I've checked at least 2 (two) times DON book,
Regarding is it is played by Raubfish SC engine or not....
Because (in recent Exp Duels) previous DON ver is
Played by other, stronger engine (SF-Poly 220723)
But in this tour:
Be sure that all books are played by Raubfish...

Ok.. that's all for now... see you later )

Greetings

Breaking News - 27.09.2023:
BIG update: 14 books are entered and just only two books are qualified..
Btw, this kind of test reminds like my other hobby - racing pigeons, e.g
When I race the pigeons from long distance and under extreme weather
Cond..then the situation is minus plus same as now...I mean only a few
Managing to find home successfully..ok..let's back to chess ) it seems
My created 3 constant books are not so suitable..really I have no much
Idea about why many books can't qualify..on other hand, I didn't pick the
Strongest opening lines, even I can say especially 2022 book is based
On many critical weak lines..2021 is based on old-dated trend openings,
Where 2023 book includes average in strength openings..and mainly for
These reasons, current tours will be ended very soon, sure after testing
The qualified books (CallmeX and Solista) in Super League..but however,
Very soon I hope to organize another new book competition, where I will
Do my best about next testing conditions to be easier...more info soon )

Breaking News - 27.09.2023:
The current championship is ended...many thanks and congrats to al!!
DON DON DON..as usual unstoppable and Number One, sure not via 'papers'
But with real 'facts' but I admit also that LesChats series are became
Very powerful books.. about HCanFree's performance, even old dated...
Plus available free to public and still holds to be one of the Top ranks!
In other words, what does it mean in reality? a lot..at least in my eyes!
CachoSCCT, Goi forum etc. Top books performed so good as well, actually
In this League, mostly books seems to be very close in performances!
Btw, some of long book names are editing or publishing actual dates...
I mean about two books : Solista 070823 = Solista-ENG 2024-1-CTG
And other name is shorten Goi forum = chess_massimilianogoi_forum

Private plus Public Book Champions: DON - Congrats to Vasid Chouhan!
