Breaking News (29.10.2024):
Via 2nd update (for today), the standings changed..and the new Number One is
DON 261024, actually Mr Vasid's series become as regular players as Champion!
And not since today or yesterday, since many many years: a true Legend for sure!
Other very impressive ranks are belonging to Mr. Tanick's books e.g MegaTron Reva,
AbbyStein, Tunafish and this is not a joke..all the mentioned Top 3 books created
By T. Ramz (OrgZ) Btw, in Eng programming... his work is belonging to one of best!
What I'm trying to tell all of you is that..no doubt that we've a lot of true masters!!
Sure we've many other great talents as well...some of their books are old-dated...
So nothing strange..or some new vers were not lucky etc. but 'records' available..
Be aware too the Top (with highest Elo) are played same amount of games..that's
Why the latest DON played 1260 games, where rest entries are played less..since
They've no chance to be Champs, sure I refer especially for rest of current entries,
But in next future tours, standing may changed, you know, anything may happen!

Private Book Champion: DON 261024 - My Congratulations to Vasid Chouhan!
Where Public Book Champion: Esculapio - Congratulations to Angel Morano!

Note also that,
After checking more closely, Esculapio has 0.5 point better than Tunafish
For this reason, Esculapio book is the current and latest public Champion

Breaking News (01.11.2024):
Another new update, only 2 (two) books are entered: Kill Bookson by Mr. H. Can
Where the Chess Artist book is the other one, which comes via Chess Artist Pack
And frankly Kill Bookson's performance is not bad, but I can't say same words for
Chess Artist.. it's clear that not so well-tuned...otherwise would be ranked better!
And as I stated earlier, soon as possible (very likely today..) this CS will be ended,
Just waiting 2 (two) more new books by Hamdullah Can...

Meanwhile,
Before the end of ongoing XXXVII CS

I have good news,
In short, another new tournament idea is born:
The entries will be played by 3800+ Elo engine,
And the name of 3810 Elo one is SF-PB 280924 SC
And why? simply one of best, strongest out there!
E.g many tours in Game-Play, plus latest indicate:

And this is not all..SF-PB-SC is not only stronger,
Check please SC's draw ratio, less drawish as well!
Sure I refer for the current tested Top engines !)
What we can need more ? CTG future ?) Mr. Tanick
Works over..but no guarantee since is hard to create
A stable engine with CTG future (under Cutechess...)

Btw, here are the latest new strength test results:
CONDITIONS:
2x Epyc 7B12, CuteChess, 1 Core, PonderOFF, 30s+0.5s, Balsa/Unique, 64 Hash etc

GAMES:
https://mega.nz/file/v9JTVagC#kYXikgvM0 ... umrFk5q0H8

Continuing...

As Book Opponents,
Contstants will be played by about 80 Elo weaker engines!
In other words, the new planning matches will be such as
Entrant books by 3810 Elo vs Constant books by av 3730 Elo !

Note also that
3720-3740 Elo ones will be played by opening books,
Which will be tuned to prefer many various openings..
And here, as before / usual: I will do my best!

Be aware too please, via the planning new tour project:
More fun will be on scene!! plus authors will have chances
To check which lines are Drawish!! or even which weaker !!
You know, we will see 'wins' even by average 3730 Elo ones,
But I admit that rarely may appear...since about 80 Elo eng diff.
And 3800+ strong players, especially via Whites even sometimes
When as Blacks... are expecting to be as 'Dominant' for sure !!

And can we say also that
DON + Esculapio will be again as Champions?

If you ask my opinion,
Really it's very hard to guess because all is
Depending on our used tourney conditions!
However, after all... time will tell, right ?)

Ok dear friends, more info soon as possible...

Btw, I hope also that
You like my latest new tour idea ?)


Greetings

Breaking News (01.11.2024):
Via 2nd update (for today) only 1 (one) book is participated: Kill Bookson 2 and
To be honest, at late midnight hours, I sent the played games by previous ver of
Kill Bookson..and in short period time...I've got another newer, stronger version..
What I am trying to tell, how much is important tuning/updating via recent games!
Sure I am not going toı mention who often request their games (in active tours..)
But at least I can say, since is not Top secret..the ones who are frequent Champs
Are often requesting.. that's it.. and just a few more words about final Champion:
Kill Bookson 2 just unbelievable performance 5+ Elo over DON (former Champ)!
Is this all luck or surprise etc. ? I hardly doubt...because 'success' is not accident!
Many thanks, Congrats to all... Be aware that soon another exciting CS coming !

Private Book Champion: Kill Bookson 2 - Congratulations to Hamdullah Can!
Where Public Book Champion: Esculapio - Congratulations to Angel Morano!

Reason, due to he is used (plus via Nate) as multiply fake account in SCCT tours
By the way, if you are going to ask: where is the proof all about ? Well, so easy:
1st of all, I've some experience over...sure not much but I have..In other words:
Theirs behaviors, writings..and even exactly at the same day, both accounts are
Accused SCCT / Me with 'unprofessional' rules, for more info: OpenChess forum
And once more (if still not so clear):
Cheating, cloning is not allowed!! Just in case..there will be BAN! I'll tolerate no
One here...Note also that even I'm ready to work, to be in fun with a few Authors,
Who are honest and follow all the mentioned rules...thank you for your attention!
