Breaking News (04.10.2023):
OPTIMUS...OPTIMUS...OPTIMUS..is the first Champion..impressive indeed!
Same words are going for Pimienta book, where managed to be Champ too!
LesChats book is 2nd, but serious candidate to be as next Champion as well
DON Hercules's score is slightly below..actually nothing strange (for 500 KB),
E.g DON is frequently early out of book...just one example vs FireOnBin, Btw
For better performance: DON Hercules needs much more openings for sure!
Note also that in next days, I hope to test more books ..so please stay tuned!
Meanwhile, for my previous postings about current new championship News

Public Book Champion OPTIMUS Congrats to Roger Constantinesco!

Breaking News (05.10.2023):
1st of all, OPTIMUS's performance is stable as stone, leading via 3635 Elo
Hamish 5, LesChats 041023 are entered and here are played results...Btw,
The latest LesChats 041023 is not same as previous LesChat 130923 vers
E.g in latest LesChats: White's main move d4 and as Black c5 are disabled,
Where in LesChat 130923 the mentioned main moves are enabled for play...
So it seems one of these factors played some worse role over performances...
E.g in my guess, if re-run LesChats130923, I expect close to 3627 Elo again..
On other hand, the new Hamish 5 performed slightly better than Hamish 4.1
And just out of curiosity, Feta X book plus new RofChade 3.1 are played too
Note also that the current tour is paused too...actually there are more books,
Which I could test.. but mostly of them are old-dated...so no BIG chances...
Be aware also that there is a possibility this tour to be ended in next days..

Breaking News (07.10.2023):
The current championship is ended...congrats and many thanks to all !!
Reason, another new exciting book competitions are coming very soon..
Btw, Arasan 24X is tuned to prefer latest openings of original Arasan 24
Normally Arasan's own book is bin format, but not compatible, but under
SCCT conditions is nothing impossible..even latest DON ctg series here!
Other example, Feta X is bin, but tuned to prefer several Feta ctg books,
Also Cerebellum X is tuned to prefer several Cerebellum book versions
As creation's reason (instead of using Cerebellum 3M): for more variety!
Sure not all created by Me.. e.g Rebel 190822 is own book of Rebel 16,
Which recently participated in other organized championship too: Results
What I can say more, current entries performed higher than expected.. !!
Ok..that's all for now.and please stay tuned...more information very soon

Private Book Champion DON Hercules Congratulations to Vasid Chouhan!
Public Book Champion: SARI 300923 - My Congratulations to Cevdet Sarı!

Breaking News (08.10.2023):
A new, but very hard championship started...and latest results coming soon...
This time tour's main target will be to check pure/real opening book strength!
You may know, as NNUE, many of the critical weak lines may perform better,
But when NON-NNUE: then situation is totally different...as usual 'best' wins..
The current tours will be based on 3 Leagues: Second, Super and Ultimate!
Second and Super Leagues will be played by Cfish 030820 ( NON-NNUE)
Where Ultimate tour will be played by Raubfish X48c3 SC (NNUE enabled)
Both mentioned tourneys will be in qualification mode e.g 2nd League will
Consist 3 constant Champs books, which are tuned to prefer only Winners
Opening lines (in SCCT tours, mainly 2020, 2021 and some of 2022 year..)
In short, my created Champs books are based on old-dated trend openings..
Sure no free time to coıunt all, but these Winners are mainly Angel Morano,
Vasid Chouhan, Cevdet Sarı etc. ok that's all for now more info very soon!

By the way,
Any known author interested... can submit a book at any time...

Meanwhile,
Here are new strength, candidate testings,
Played mainly for new coming book tours..

As engines, which are mainly small in size!
Due to too complicated and meaningless if
Using such as 40MB-100MB for each book player!!
Just imagine..100 players x 50 MB = 5 GB
via Cfish engine: 100 players x 200 KB = 20 MB

And as usual, once we noticed that,
Cfish 030820 is still the KING..in case of NON-NNUE!
Not only strongest, but even not so Drawish as well
What does it mean.. ? a lot... !) if not clear,
This CF version is already more than 3 years old...
And as usual I say, not always newer/bigger are better..!

Forget everything..
I tested many SF-BASED ONES, but I cancelled their test..
Reason...minus plus 5% -10% higher draws..very strange!
On other hand, I can understand if they are stronger...

Ok.. here is the ranking played at Blitz (2m+1s),
Balsa openings for all (with alternate colors):

Code: Select all

Rank    Player                   Elo   Games   Draw

Breaking News (08.10.2023):
1st of all, my congratulations to all qualified authors books..and unfortunately,
Some of the opening books were not so lucky..or some are not tuned so well
And after checking the latest results of current Second League..it's clear that,
Many successful books could not qualify...it seems the old Champs lines are
Not soft touch and still not dead..Btw, a few more words over DON Hercules:
It's based/tuned vs newer trend openings so against older trend ones.suffer!
But via importing DON's other played games...DON Hercules 2 is managed..
Btw, interesting, the very old-dated DON-B book is managed to qualify..nice!
Yes..under these cond. not easy...and here strongest ones say the last word!
About the Leading books: SENTINEL, LesChats, OPTIMUS, CachoSCCT etc.
They proved to be so strong...as NNUE and NON-NNUE, just superb score!
Sure we are just in beginning..let's see what will be the next entry results ?)

Second League Leader: SENTINEL 2 Congrats to Roger Constantinesco!
