Yes.. again BIN and again by mainly Raubfish engine!

And here are the main reasons (for anyone missed),
Actually my fingers are already tired of explaining ..
Anyhow once more I will try ))...

1st of all, sorry to say that but on my eyes:
Even latest Fritz GUIs are as old-dated chess GUIs,
And why I say like that ? to be honest I see Fritz GUI such
As it belongs to 2000-2005 years really, e.g in that old times..
Mostly processors were limited, as single or dual processors etc.
But nowadays... we are in 2023..plus since 2020 NNUE on scene..
So my target is simply to produce many games in short time..
In same time: less draws, 88% is still acceptable, right ?
You know...97%-99% is too boring....that's why Raubfish SC !!

And why I stay far away from Fritz GUIs ?
And why I use to play mainly Cuttechess GUI?
Simply because supports Concurrent games option...
Sure it is not a perfect GUI, but very stable, light...

In other words, especially in latest years...
Fritz GUI is not so suitable..out of for my interest,
Because Fritz GUI has no concurrent games option
Otherwise, it's too complicated running plenty of GUIs
Or just imagine... playing just one game on a machine,
Which has real 128 physical cores..

Btw, if still not clear..other, but good example..e.g if Fritz GUI:
Imagine again: travelling only one passenger but on BUS with 128 seats
Sorry...I like VIP passengers... but not so much ... !)

2nd. all latest NNUE 3700+ engines, which support CTG books
Have same bugs: preferring even CTG lost played opening lines..
In my understanding...just in case...these kind of critical
Opening lines have to be out..I mean if the win. percentage
Is less than 20%-25%...

Another small problem (about mentioned engines, which support CTG book),
They are too DRAWISH...so even if they will be not buggy...I will have
Difficulties to test/use them..you may know, FUN is one of most important!

Thanks in advance for your understanding...

Sedat

Update

Btw, all the played new strength results are shared at OpenChess:
https://open-chess.org/viewtopic.php?f= ... 398#p31398

Meanwhile, some notes about my created new 9 constant books, they are
Based on SCCT book tour games, mostly contain Grandmasters openings
Exc. two books, which are tuned to prefer engine openings: XLIV / BN IV
E.g the other rest constant books are totally based on GMs opening lines
If I am going to give as one more example, VIII book is based on CS VIIIg
Or Human book is tuned to prefer the played openings of CS Human-Like
In other words, via creation my constant books is that to stress the latest
Opening books, because it's too boring only to see C65, C54, A28, right ?)
And just in case of direct matches... then may appear too many doubles..
But via current testing system way...forget about appearing many doubles!
Plus under these cond...it's much better...at least we will have chances to
See which are best books in overall openings...only TREND not enough !
Note also that the current competition is already paused (for a week) but
After 15.11.2023 date: I hope to see and test many opening books as well

In short,
I will be on holiday for a week... see you later my dear chess friends )

Breaking News - 18.11.2023:
3 strong entries..especially Merlin book (by Hurnavich) performed so good!
Frankly it makes Me feel happy when a book (e.g according to Angel Morano,
Unicornio book is based on only SCCT games) is performing as NUMBER ONE!
2nd rank belongs to 2 Top players: DON + SENTINEL, 3rd rank to ORIONPAX
Btw, for anyone missed, both (SENTINEL + ORIONPAX) are created by ConRog
C.B Conqueror (by H. Can) very old-dated, but still holds to be one of best!
And as usual, in case of Public BIN books, LesChats is said the last word!
Be aware of that the current tour ended...Congrats and many thanks to all..
Note also that very soon new championship coming..so please stay tuned..

Private Book Champion: Unicornio - Congratulations to Angel Morano!

Hello there )

As usual, I am pleased to announce that,
Just another tour series...and what is new?
A lot of players each other will be played...

Btw,
I created 5 derivative opening books: Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Opal
Note: all of them are based on only wins, but I did not touch the latest Champs
To be more clear, almost all the used openings are belonging to NON-Champions

Note also that,
A new LesChats vers will be entered soon as possible...

Breaking News - 19.11.2023:
Another new championship started...what's new? in short, via this tourney:
Target to test many books and in same time I picked some older opponents,
Which produce low-draw percentages e.g as far as possible less than 90%
For example, for right now, the overall draws are 86%, I mean not so high..
Be aware, here it is NNUE enabled...you may know, some SF based ones
Produce even higher draws even when NNUE disabled, as main difference
If comparing is the strength..at least I can say +200 Elo (in Bullet, Blitz etc)
Btw, I created 5 books (Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, Opal), which are
Based on wins but almost all openings are belonging to NON-Champions..
Note that exactly same DON's openings managed 7- times to be Winner!!
And all these unbelievable Champ records are done in less than 2 months..
Yes..DON Hercules is like a precious jewel but one of rare, priceless ones!
As same words are going for many others too, e.g just only a few of them
CachoSCCT, Everest, LesChats,Optimus, Orionpax, Red Dragon, Unicornio etc.
Sure there are other great books which are too old-dated..so ranked below..
Note also that soon as possible more books are planning to be played out

Private Book Champion: DON Hercules 3 - Congrats to Vasid Chouhan !
Public Champions LesChats / Optimus - Congratulations to Jordi / Roger!

Breaking News - 20.11.2023:
A huge update: over than 25 books are entered..and standings changed..
Actually the high-ranked ones are almost with same points as before exc.
Sambala managed to be Public Champ..nice! but in next updates we may
See other Champions, who knows ?) Btw, BN XI's Winner: How-Wang is
Played too, sure here the situation is different, GMs lines have no much
Chances..at least under these conditions..On other hand, I'm impressed
A lot by the Top openings books...especially with the ones which produce
Low draw percentages, such as 80%-89% really just amazing numbers!
Note also that in next matches...as far as possible, I'll pick as opponents
The ones, which are with less than 92-93% draws..otherwise, too boring!

Private Book Champion DON Hercules 3 - Congrats to Vasid Chouhan!
Public Book Champion: Sambala - My Congratulations to Cevdet Sarı!
