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...

For Latest Standings:
https://sites.google.com/site/computers ... k-nn-cs-37

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!

Breaking News (03.11.2024):
OrgZ account user is banned for 5 (five) Book and Engine future Championships!
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!

Hello There,

1st of all, let Me start please with Non-Chess:
Money is important, but should not be everything!

And I think that
A true happiness comes mainly from health, because
Without health, money will play no role to be happy,
Even if you are one of the world’s richest people!
Health, money, happiness are great things in life,
But to be honest, to live honorable are great too!

Meanwhile, let Me say seven advices of Mevlana:
In generosity and helping others be like a river
In compassion and grace be like the sun
In concealing others’ faults be like the night
In anger and fury be like a dead
In humility and modesty be like the earth
In tolerance be like the sea
Either look as you are or be as you look

And here are some new notes but about our Computer Chess,
Well, you may know or not... but in latest days, what a pity that
Deeds (who seems to be Exp author) is highly affected by SCCT,
And this is not all, rather I'd say he is a real TROLL..because for
No any reason..he prefers to attack, to harass my name, work etc
As nature rules, I've tried to give him good, reasonable lessons!
But unfortunately he refused my help..and why I tried to assist?
Since he is not so much experienced (maybe 3-4 years in testings)
Sure as far as I noticed on forums...but to be sure games needed..
And frankly, after checking latest Deeds tours..games are invisible )
That means: No games = No trust.. games is everything to validate!
Moreover each time Deeds blamed many TDs (including Me) such as
His work is best, where others worst..interesting but without a prove )
Forget everything..even this guy said that I don't know how to create
Opening books..hehe.. it seems this Deeds has no much clue about Me!
But still not too late to learn, tours, games, books available: all for free!
In other words, in his eyes:
- Everything is terrible exc. Deeds work! And do you know what is left
To be not criticized, underestimated: only my 2x Epyc 7B12 hardware!
But honestly I expect everything from Deeds soon, such as not so fast!
Is this all? not of course.. he preferred to attack Me via several fake
Accounts, where / why? firstly on Outskirts, later on Openchess etc.
Sure there are many more attacks by Deeds, accusing Me: Details

On other hand,
Since 2022 to 2024, what is changed? I am sorry to say that but
Nothing..same boring story as before e.g in period between 2023-24:
Deeds is started to attack Me on Openchess too, ok on Openchess,
I can understand, since there is no any serious moderation team etc.
But what about on Outrskirts? since they have very strict rules?!
And due to other similar double standards etc I left Outskirt in 2023
Btw, this should be known as well,
- I left Outskirts forum firstly, I mean the ban came later, just saying!
So would be a good idea, to be edited: ban reason, he left forum !)

Continuing...

After all, Deeds target is now become more clear for sure,
He tries to sell Exp e.g if I'm not wrong for high price: 80 Euro
It's all right... he can request even 800+ or more Euro, but
All have to be in a honest way, without attacking the people!
A small advice to Deeds: be original, stop using fake accounts!
If still not so so clear, 'money' should not be everything!

And just a few more words about past, about 16-17 years ago:
In short, I'd like to mention a true story about 2007-2008 years..
In those old times:
I informed/warned Rybka authorities that behind those fake accounts is
Harry Schnapp (who attacked Me via 12 fake accounts), yes Rybka team
Refused/was in silence etc. to ban Harry Schnapp and now as old, but as
Most important new note coming: Rybka team realized to ban Harry after
When he is shared Rybka engine for free, sad but true! By the way, just
A small note more: after 1 year...I wonder if he would not share Rybka...
Then very likely Harry's harassment over my work would be still on..
That's why I say again 'money' should not be everything in our life!
On other hand, if this happened to many people.. then I assume:
Mostly would start to hate Rybka...no, it's still one of my favorites!

Btw, if you going to ask why all these childish attacks over my work?
Theirs goal is simple: to destroy my work, non of authors to trust Me..
What I can say over, they have to try again.. so far 0 (zero) success!
3-5 guys who attack/praise him, not enough come all together I'm here!!
And they have to remember also that as usual, the good wins, not bad!
I believe also that these 'clever guys' have serious weakness such as
They are afraid so much to be players in SCCT, reason many will see
Their work, techniques...are NOT best..No other explanation of that!
Moreover, they prefer to play vs weaker ones..such as in 2nd League..
But I'd like to point out that there are other stronger Leagues for sure!

Note also that,
I have good, friendly relationship with many authors, who
Work commercially plus who work for free too, my respect!
But frankly as Deeds behaviour: Never seen before! it seems
He doesn't want to gain much Euro...Ok, not my buıssines,
But what is my job? as usual I follow mainly Eng defaults!
So what other people (non-authors) will say all over etc.
I care of course, but not so so much! because in case of
Any failures..as usually, I say: I may replay tests..but before
All have to be respectfully, not as bestail, inhuman way!

And without to no mention this I can not as well,
Who is behind of Deeds ? Who protects, feed him?
After all, sooner or later: all right on the night !!

Ok my dear chess friends, that's all for now,
I can talk much more but what will be changed?
Anyhow, let's hope only for good, great news..
Let's hope also that current thread to be useful!
Let's hope also money should not be everything!

Thanks for reading!

Again new arguments (for honest people)

Question:
-Did Deeds get a permission (for Igbo.exp) from Mr. Jorge Centelles?
Answer:
No, Deeds disrespectfully added Igbo as exp player into his own tour..
Furthermore, without taking any permission too (by Jorge Centelles)
Deeds renamed from Hypnos.exp to Igbo.exp in short, too bad, not fair!
A small note: here I'm 100% sure, at least according to Mr. Jorge Centelles
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
-Did Deeds share his latest tour games on Openchess?
Answer:
No, Deeds did not share tour games, No Games = No trust!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
-Did Deeds inform his tour conditions (on Openchess)?
Answer:
Unfortunately No..if all were Baba Vanga we would predict,
But not all of us have supernaturalism psychic abilities !)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
-Did Deeds use several multiple fake accounts in his own tours?
Answer:
Unfortunately yes...and not once, not twice..many times!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
-Why Deeds main exp never played in independent sources?
Answer:
It seems for Deeds: they are like a Nightmare! Moreover,
All chess fans will see that Deeds techniques are not best!

Happy reading...

UPDATE

Btw, just I'd like to add one note more, reality is reality...
And I think better late than never about all friends have
Right to know all .. and should not remain in secret!

In other words,
What happened also in those 'scandal' days on Rybka forum?
I mean simply when Rybka engine was shared for free etc.
I've made a similar posting on Rybka chess forum that
I warned Rybka's authorities, such as they did not listen etc.

And now as other important note is coming (at least for my side),
And the day after, I noticed that my main posting over was removed
By Rybka chess moderation team! Yes, they may removed my posting,
But they could not manage to remove my love to Rybka engine !

And let's hope also that
Others friends to not suffer as Me... and frankly,
At moment, I'm deeply emotion..my eyes tear up..

Hi Sedat. Don't know if someone has told you already, but I did notice important "mistakes" (or call it whatever you like) in your latest books (and engines) tests. I didn't dig deep, but according to your latest pgn results, the time which you used for tests is wrong. For example, you made tests with TC: 30sec+0.5 and 60sec+0.6, but pgn recorded those tests as 30 and 60 sec flat, without any increments. This may be a bug from cutechess or you doing something wrong, in any case you need to check it.

Hello Aleks,

1st of all,
Thanks for pointing this out...

Btw, can you inform Me please,
Which Cutechess GUI ver do you use?

And that's true...I am aware..even if settings are at 30s+0.5s
On my system, Cutechess records all Bullet games at 30 sec
Only if running at Blitz, such as 2m+1s then its records as it is
[TimeControl "120+1"]

I wonder, is this can be as a GUI bug on my system or..?!
Because I used several different Cutechess GUI vers and
And each time this issue happens..sure I refer if Bullet
But if Blitz, Rapid etc it is all right ! no any issue !!

E.g for references you can checl at Rapid 15m+3s:
https://sites.google.com/site/computers ... s-sf-pb-sc

For Blitz (2m+1s), where you will see again is all right:
https://sites.google.com/site/computers ... k-nn-cs-26

But anyhow, be aware also of that
I am sure that all latest games played with increment (30sec+0.5sec)!
But I agree here and very strange that games are recorded at 30sec
https://sites.google.com/site/computers ... k-nn-cs-37

One thing more,
I prefer Cutechess v1.2.0, since on newer beta versions,
Many of the SF-based engines forfeits on time, but under
Cutechess 1.2.0, it is stable e.g no games lost on time !

But this is also true, you will never know until you try,
Sure I refer running tours on my tournament machine!

Greetings
