More Details:
All above books are non-my work, released mainly in 2024
Where FGRL, CCRL, CEDR, CEGT, SCCT, SSDF, TCEC etc. are
My work, which are based on theirs high-rated eng games
In other words, main target is that (via including them)
Simply to stress and test vs latest TREND opening books
Otherwise, only TREND lines sounds good, but not enough..
Now is more clear, which are strongest in overall lines!
Btw SPCC is out, as reason..includes many weak openings,
E.g these lines play as soft touch (for some opponents..)
You know, the target is to make cond. harder (not easier)

And please stay tuned,
Very soon a newer DON 190524 book vers. is coming!
Other strong players: Flavo, Varied are entered too!
And let's see what will be the next new standings...?!

GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Good luck,

Breaking News (20.05.2024):
Via this update, the standings slightly changed again.. where unfortunately
HCan lost the lead ..but still very close..you know, even to be 2nd is great!
And yes, the new Leading opening book: DON 190524...and no doubt that
Vasid Chouhan is man who knows how to be Number One..and he proved
Not once not twice..many times! actually as same words are going for many
Other authors too and I'm not going to count all but Biyuya, ConrRog, HCan
Are definitely one of them, sure I admit also that we have other great talents
As well.e.g some of them is Dara's, MegoTron's authors... as you may see,
They are one of the Top ranks! plus we should not forget to mention Cevdet,
M. Goi, Hurnavich, J. Centelles, A. Ces, Skynet etc they are one of best too!
Sure there are other talents, who create very strong books, but no free time
To count all...e.g many of them are not active (in book making) nowadays..
Btw, (for anyone interested) here is participant list of current Book Players:

Hello Chess Friends,

1st of all,
Let Me start please with this new saying:
The more I learn about Top NNUE engines,
The more I see Top similarity each other!

To be more clear,
Similarity tools are not so dead, but even rather I would say
The ORIGINALITY is almost dead when it comes to NNUE!

But I admit too we have many programmers who are honest
And do not hide from where come theirs eng origins...right?
What about all others programmers? if still not so clear:
All these strong ideas are came directly from MARS or ?) and
How many of the created engines are started from scratch?)
For these reasons, I like the authors of SF-based engines too!
If nothing else these authors are fair...and give Me one reason
To not test Raubfish or RapRora or Fat Fritz...since these engines
Suit to the current used rules (up to 70% in similarity is allowed..)

Meanwhile, you can download the latest SIMEX2's Test Results,
https://mega.nz/file/X8AkSRbK#EDK-DDYRM ... 47KYuYaqd8
Where I assume you'll see and know about what is going on..

And here are the latest played results (main target 3600+):
https://sites.google.com/site/computers ... nnue-cs-50

The Champion is again Stockfish 16.1- Congratulations to Stockfish Team!
Strange..latest SF dev. performed worse, normally newer should be better..

And a few more words about original Top chess engines,
Before NNUE, the similarity was mainly up to 40%-50%,
Where sounds perfectly fine to Me, not sure about you?
But nowadays, these numbers are increased av. 60%-70%
Sure I refer about using 100ms and 1 core but if using
Slower TC + more cores then similarity is much higher!
Besides I refer also about such Top engines, which are
Considering ORIGINAL (by the vast majority of people)!

Btw, if we are not going to use the Similarities tools,
Then I wonder: who are best experts in recognizing the
originality of the engines? because I see many testers,
Who refuse to test many of the available engines, very
likely such as in their eyes: they are non-original,
Where theirs tested engines are as original work, sure
This a long story, anyhow as last words, I can say over:
Trust, but verify!

Because for less double standards:
I'm doing my best to prefer that way!

Hope helps and have a nice weekend )

Best,
Sedat
