Hello there )
1st of all,
Current ongoing tour is not a Championship, just in case..as before
I'll have serious difficulties to find stronger... sure I refer for
Close in dates/years openings...and this is not as joke...proved
Not only once, not twice...many times..!!
To be more clear, via this new tour, my target is simply that:
Recently (actually even in the past) these Number Ones are played..
But in recent Number Ones CS..as NN engine (for all Top books used):
Raubfish NNUE SC, I mean its strength is close to 3750 Elo, but where
In past, several Rybka eng vers used, which are close to 3000 Elo and
Now you can imagine.. On other hand, Rybka engines are not compatible
To use BIN books, that's why I realized to use Stockfish 5 (for all books)
Yes SF5 is stronger than Rybka, but I could find other any better solution..
E.g my goal is now to adapt more close conditions such as played in past..
Actually via Polyglot adapter is possible many of the engines to use BIN,
But no any idea what will be the influences.. e.g according to old tests,
Some of engines suffered via using external adapters..for these reasons:
I am not a very BIG fun of using external adapters!
In other words (this time via Stockfish 5, which capable to use BIN):
Let's see what will be the influences.. again from Past to Present..
As NNUE, we already know their performances..what about as NON-NN?
Can we say also that Perfect 16 will manage to be best? as before..
Who knows? maybe previous produced NN results were as luck etc. ?
And without to not mention this I can not as well,
Frankly, I disagree with those 'clever' guys who often prefer to say as
All books are randomly ranked, plus who say as dead drawish lines etc
Maybe theirs chess engines are dead, too drawish..and who knows?
Meanwhile, blaming the strongest opening theory is madness!! just saying!
But I admit that via NNUE 3700+ sure under optimal cond. is really boring!
Since the Top engines are playing/gaining with huge trained NN data...
But as reason here are not only openings...there are many other factors,
Which can play as serious influence to appear more draws for examples
Some of the Top engines (even as NON-NN) are more drawish..proved already!
E.g Raubfish SC can be as reference...in that case....moreover Hardware speed,
Time Controls, MP, Ponder ON etc. are playing as an important role! and
That's not all, what about NN data? via BIG NN asistane much more draws!
Do you see? the openings are not only the reason....Btw, can you create
A strong engine 3700 + to be not so Drawish? and to be not close to SF ?)
And if asking about my work..via my Book + Eng tours I've done my best..!!
And exc. my organized tours over long past years..I'm author of many books,
Sure I am creator of many other opening suites: Balsa, Champ, Unique etc.
And mainly for these kind of reasons, in case of NN 3700+ tours:
I use mainly Bullet, 1 Core, Balsa, Unique etc sure mainly for fun, if not:
Usually I say: what's point of using BIG umbrella, if no much rain on horizon ?)
And in our hobby, there are many who prefer testing various cond. my respect!
Yes, we are all different, if we were all same, World would NOT be too boring ?)
Oh, sorry my friends,..I almost forgot.. here are current
LIVE rankings:
Sure it's too early for any conclusions.. since we need much more games..
But anyhow, Perfect is Perfect...right ?
