Because Grendel is not a bin book...

If you are not aware,
I suggest to re-read current tournament details:

Breaking News (18.10.2023):
Via latest new update: 7 (seven) books are entered and as you may see too,
Some performed very good e.g one of them are Hamish 5, Hcan Upd, Lion X
Btw, for anyone missed: Lion X book is tuned to prefer Lion 110423's openings
And as I expected the both Lion book versions are gained identical Elo points
Note also that I started a new Blitz tour with the current Top 10 (ten) players
Let's see what will be the next rankings with these monsters..good luck to all!

Breaking News - 18.10.2023:
Well, just another series of Blitz championships... and as we see here,
Under these cond. the strongest new trend openings say the last word!
About my created books Lion and DON, they can be counted old dated,
Especially Lion X, because you may know..when games are shared...
We can not expect a superior performance....same words are going
For many other old-dated books too..anyhow just a fun tournament
Btw, instead of 10, for more variety.. I added more Top book players!
And again and again EVEREST is EVEREST... managed Number One!
ORIONPAX is 2nd.. but another very serious and great book for sure!
DON Hercules 3rd and as usual, one of best..actually in current tour,
All rest books are just great...I'm sure in case of new move updates..
Their points would be better... but before 'tuning' is needed, right ?)
Note also that in the next days... the other BN CS XVIII may ended..
About current played games, I hope to share them soon..very likely
After when other tour will be over...thanks for your understanding

BN XIX's Champion: EVEREST - My Congratulations to Ivan Alekseev!

Update

A new, but a super strong (CachoSCCT opt2) book is entered...!
Not sure 100% but as serious candidate to be as next Champion...

Why I say like that.. as usual,
Mr. Angel Morano's new books are performing as one of the Top ranks !
Forget everything..sometimes even his old-dated ones became Champ!

Btw,
Normally I set 400 games as 1st run, but here I set directly 800 games,
Because there is a very very small chance to be not over than 3750+

Code: Select all

Rank Name                          Elo     +/-   Games   Score    Draw 
   0 CachoSCCT opt2                 40      10     680   55.7%   83.5% 
   1 CS BN 15                       16      19      85   52.4%   92.9% 
   2 CS 66                         -17      23      84   47.6%   90.5% 
   3 CS BN 5                       -25      22      85   46.5%   90.6% 
   4 CS 49                         -41      29      85   44.1%   83.5% 
   5 CS BN 9                       -45      32      85   43.5%   80.0% 
   6 CS 56                         -57      28      86   41.9%   83.7% 
   7 CS 52                         -63      32      84   41.1%   79.8% 
   8 CS 40                         -91      40      86   37.2%   67.4% 

680 of 800 games finished.

Breaking News (21.10.2023):
Just another new championship is started.. in similar testing way as XXXVI
Exc his time: plus Unique suite is used to play (in case of close to 3750 Elo)
Just out of curiosity, two former Champs (RapTora and SF-Poly) played too!
Btw, we can't expect much from RapTora 2.2, since it's already too old-dated..
But SF-Poly 220723 is managed to be Number One!! again with great score!!
Yes.. via this tour: the strongest engines say as last word...no more.. no less!
Frankly here I expected the newer to be Winner..but not always this happens..
At least under these cond. actually no BIG surprise.. because NNUE is dead..
In case of SF Elo improvements via strong opening suites...for more: Details
By the way, the competition is still active..very soon more entries are coming..
E.g one of them: BrainLearn 26, Stockfish 230823 sl (other former Champion)
Plus many other strong chess engines of 3750 Elo will be participated as well
One thing more, this competition as NNUE enabled.. why I mention...because
Some may have confusions..(after checking the current produced draw-ratio)
And who said that Balsa is Drawish?) as we see...it is all in our hands, right?
Ok friends..please stay tuned.. and soon as possible more updates coming !

The Champion: SF-Poly 220723 - Congratulations to Tanick Ramz, SF team!

Breaking News (21.10.2023):
Current championship ended..congratulations and many thanks to all authors!
Finely SF-Poly lost the lead where Stockfish 220823 sl managed to be Champ!!
Yes..a great performance..and it seems the pre-learned EXP played some role..
E.g if comparing Stockfish sl No Exp vs Stockfish 220823 sl: 8 Elo difference..
Frankly, I'm impressed a lot by Stockfish 220823 sl' learning, stability influence..
E.g as far as I noticed its all learned moves are played in auto (as RapTora 2.2)
On other hand, if we check all the rest played new engines..we will notice that
Mostly of them are close in strength...so here under these cond. it is clear that
No much Elo progress (sure in latest months) and now I wonder: who will pay
My electricity bills ?)) just joking...you may know...over the past years.I do this
Job all for free..even donation I never requested..because I love Chess much,
The rest it does not matter at all... sure I respect and give understanding who
Work commercially etc. because the life is not so cheap..at least where I live )
Thank you for your interest...see you in next toıurs )

The Champion Stockfish 220823 sl Congratulations to Eduard Nemeth, SF team!

Breaking News (22.10.2023):
1st of all, let's start via Russian proverb: Vek zhivi, vek uchis = Live and learn
Yes.. under these cond. the situation is completely different than recent Results
To be honest, I expected more from Eduard Nemeth's engine (Stockfish 220823 sl)
Same words are going for the rest.. maybe previous learned Exp.. are as reason ?!
Sure, other factors can be..very likely the EXP experts will explain better than Me
But there is one true, under these serious conditions: Eman is said the last word!
Really impressive points...and here I do not think that it is due to Error margin etc.
Note also that all of the participated are learning engines, exc. SF-Poly 220723

XXXIX Champion: Eman 9.51 - My Congratulations to Khalid Oman, SF team!
