Ok, you do not play on PlayChess and it's your thread here. But, everyone can also play on the servers (Lichess, PlayChess, InfinityChess) with the same books you tested. What for are you testing? So that people should know which are the best books, right? Therefore I allow myself to write my opinion here.
Anything else. I also criticize my friends! A friend of mine who is new on PlayChess saw some popular Cherry Pickers playing. Then he started playing the same way. His Elo climbed beautifully manually. When I saw how he was playing, I told him to stop it, or I would put him on ignore too. He now plays normally like all other 90% of the players.
Yes..this is true, ir's a thread about my chess activities...
And you are free to post even non-related about SCCT
Plus as you are the Author of LittleBeast, which is one of
Current players...plus we know each other since a long time
So you are welcomed )
About Online game-playing etc...
Well, if SCCT helps to decide, e.g which books and engines
Are stronger.. then how happy I am...
On other hand, I admit that
Usually the best public books are getting Drawish
After some period of time, because people prefer
To use the best ones out there...actually this happens
Not only via books..same words are going for engines too!
You know, especially since NNUE on scene, what a pity that
The draw-ratio is increased a lot... even hardwares
Speeds do not play so much important role as before!
Btw, now I remembered the old Rybka days,
Where my Rybka's draw ratio was about 45%, where
Now it is just a dream to see similar low numbers..
Actually this is also true that,
Yes.. nowadays the quality is increased much,
But in same time, chess become too boring..
Let's say I am Online player...99% draws for sure!
I mean in case of test with optimal conditions etc...
Why I say like this, e.g after checking eng online database..
Usually almost all the played games are ending as draw!
Only via very weak openings or on slow hardwares etc.
We may see some more wins...
