Hello Chess Friends )

Here are the new size rules, for next planning Book CS:
Note: These size rules may be changed..(till tour start)

Small: Up to 15 MB
Medium: 16 - 65 MB
Large: 66 - 255 MB
Giant: 256 - 1 GB

More Details:
All opening books are allowed (private plus public books too)
Per League/s: Several books are allowed (by same author), but
As usually, each other have to be different in playing styles!
In Giant: For known/frequent authors, thanks for understanding

As main chess engine,
All entries will be played by 9-times Champion: Cfish 030820 C40
Some may play by various engines too, close in strength to Cfish
But note that the less drawish chess engines will be participated...
You may know, there are plenty of Top chess engines, but theirs
Produced draw ratio is really waste of time and not so stable plus
It does mot mean when 'newer' is better... sometimes Retro ones
Can be better...as reference check latest Stockfish 17 test! exc.
SF17's very high draw ratio..plus we noticed time forfeit etc. Btw,
Even in early of 2000 years, the chess engines were more stable !!
What happened much that some programmers job become as worse ?
If was a opening book I cıuld try to help.. but here I wonder much...

Continuing...

In other words, via planning new 'SIZE' Championship Book Leagues,
It's expecting more fair / unique game-play styles / more fun! since
I expect to appear more wins..if not.. too boring if almost all draws!

And without tıo not mention this I can not as well )
In case of dislikes etc..I suggest NON-SCCT results...enough over
Long past years...mostly of these critics are pointless...because
The way which I work, forget everything...even many are not aware
About what is going on.. and very likely they think that these tours
Are as joke..but no problem..if all like my work that means simply
I'm doing it wrong...be sure, no way to satisfy all, it's impossible!
Of course, in case of any question/s.. please don't hesitate to ask..

Be aware of that too please,
I've a lot of private mails, where mostly are grateful to my chess activities!
In short, we should not concentrate only over the negative people/posts...
E.g mostly chess friends are quite kind and good persons...otherwise,
Since a long long time, I would be out from our computer chess scene..
But this is also true, my job is not so easy...just imagine...so many and
Different people + successful tours..over long past years and by single TD )
And sure there will be attacks by spoiled, conceited, dishonest guys etc.
It is something like as 'nature rules' !) besides, without all of them..
Our World...would not be much boring too ?)

On other hand,
I admit too that my work is not perfect..Btw, what about yours ?)
And can you share please..but over than 1000+ of games (per player)
But a small note, with many players as well...then we can discuss..
Actually I am not against critics too, but only in friendly way )

But anyhow, let's hope for more positive people and good news too,
And let's hope also that the same mistake/s to not appear as twice!

More info soon as possible and meantime be ready for the 'real' Arena )

UPDATE

To be more clear,
Why these kind of conditions are planning? as I stated earlier for
More accurate/fair/wins/fun...plus it's boring if each time same!
And once more, it is all in our hands...No one is forcing us to be
Played all books via BIG assistance, right?..besides, this is not as best
Way to check which books are strongest, because via BIG assistance:
Such as Slower TC, MP, Ponder ON, BIG Evalfiles etc. are not best,
Ideal systems to check who are best, as we know, with less help etc.
Then no doubt that the planning book tournaments will be harder as
- Climbing to mountain Everest..like at highest point: 8,848m !)

Btw, let's imagine (under if better/optimal cond.)..e.g we will set
BIG NN, MP, Ponder ON, Blitz, Rapid..wow..perfect )) but what about
Fun? What about accurate ranks? Error margin? I mean just in case...
Then how many games needed to be produced? how many of them will be
Ended as wins?) I'd try..but my hardware + electricity is not cheap)

Meanwhile (just out of curiosity about what will be the influences)
Since mostly of book entries will be played by Cfish 030820 as well..
I realized to run a new gauntlet tour, where again same Number Ones
Of 2006-2010 years openings e.g now all books played by Cfish 030820

And as we see, again and again...
Perfect 16 book has another unbelievable / unforgettable records !!
Where at present with 57% Wining Percentage and with 68% DrawRatio!
Moreover, this time P16 managed to overcome any Number One of past..
E.g in some recent tours...P16 is lost to several other Champions..
And once more, non of theirs deep opening lines are touched...I mean
They are tuned to prefer their orginal openings (played in 2006-2010)

What I can say more,
If your openings are not so bad..it does not matter so much too,
Such as NN or as without NN...all in your hands.. just take it!
If you can not.. no any problem at all.. because all for fun !)
But a small request, before starting creating a opening book:
Please pay atteention at least to quality games/database/s...

Update 2

Well, here are 1st results of Small CS (up to 15 mb uncompressed)
Sure the competition is just in beginning..error margin can be high
That's why it is too early for any serious conclusions...so let's see
What will be standings after more games.. but anyhow, it is clear
Minus plus who are as beast/best..at least under hard conditions!
Btw, do not forget to check please overall draw ratio (per player)
And yes no doubt that here is a bloody tour, via BIG fight for sure!!

Current Number One: Geralt - My Congratulations to Ian Hurnavich!
Plus not so bad performance by Skynet (SCCT) 180724, Rodent Z etc.

UPDATE 3

Rodent Z takes the lead...Congratulations to Nate Smith!
But Geralt, Skynet etc. are serious Champ candidates too
You may know..in the next rounds..everything may happen!

Note also that,
Exc. current players, there will be new entries as well..
Btw, so far all books are 2024 releases and created by other
Book Authors .. I mean simply that they are not my work...
Sure later I hope to include some based books too, such as
SCCT, CCRL, TCEC etc. which will be played by other NN
Chess engines, but all very close to Cfish..actually mostly
Of them are slightly weaker minus plus 5-10 Elo... in short:
In this way we will have more chances to see diff. game styles,
Plus to check which are stronger in overall openings as well!

UPDATE 4

For right now,
Geralt is Number One again..really interesting and very impressive!
Rodent is 2nd..very good, where 3rd is Skynet, not so bad as well..
We will see..this time who will say the last word...but Geralt seems
To be more close (in distance) to highest point of Everest mountain!

Note also that,
Yoruba 230824 (by Jorge Centelles) is the next new entry...plus many
More players will be entered as well..
