Breaking News - 12.07.2024:
Finely the CS ended..Congrats and Thanks to all Eng + Book Authors!
Undoubtedly current contest will be unforgettable as Battle of Wolves!
On other hand, picture is clear, so I think that talking more not required..
Exc. Biyuya's mostly book entries are managed to qualify..best record!
I admit too many of Skynet's plus my derivatives books are managed..
And If I've played some influence/role over... then how happy I am..!)
Yes tour was hard, all entries played vs + 13 (besides fatal number))
And only 32% of the books managed...just imagine..that not so easy..
But anyhow, the best ones (in overall openings) gained better points,
Where in Super League: the strongest in trend openings gained better..
Ok friends that is all for now.. I hope to see you in next planning tours!
But before...I have to rake a very good rest...take care and stay safe )

Second League Champion: Pampa - Congratulations to Angel Morano!

Breaking News - 12.07.2024:
Super League tour ended as well, Congrats and thanks to all Authors!
Special thanks to Mr Tanick Ramz, for creating a super strong engine,
Which is one of best (in book tours too), besides futures small size..!
Moreover, his both books are qualified players..that means a lot really..
On other hand, what happened in latest hours ?) too many things...)
Yes via latest entries, the standings changed, not for all, but changed..
As you may see in SL, we have 2 (two) Champions...yes..even after
Tie-break matches, their points remained equal (ended all draws) so
I realized both Top books to be titled Champions..plus they deserved...
2nd place AdrianOliva+BN XXII Top, 3rd. there are 4 (four) Top books!
Very interesting indeed e.g similar place records rarely is appearing )
In same time that shows, many Top books are very close in strength..

SL Champions: HCan / Optimus - Congrats to Can / Constantinesco!
Note: Optimus is created by Me /tuned to prefer some OPTIMUS vers.

Hello Chess Friends,

Meantime, just I'd like to inform all of you that,
Another NEW CS is coming very soon, but this time,
Exc. Public, plus Private books will be allowed too,
Because simply due to interest by Book Authors...

Some Notes (about the planning new book contest):
It will be in qualification mode as BN XXXI etc. but
All entrants will be played by Raubfish SC, where my
Created books will be played by some Top NNUE engines,
Which are highly close in strength to Raubfish SC!
And why often Raubfish? as reason: due to mainly FUN!
Plus very stable, less Drawish, still quite strong..
And other important factor: futures very small size!

Meanwhile,
Here are my created new 8 (eight) based books, which
Will be as constant players (during the competition):

Andromeda = Balsa + Perfect books wins on Book tours
Centaurus = Balsa + Unique wins but on Engine tours
Cigar = CCC, CCRL, CEGT, FGRL, FCP, SSDF, TCEC wins
Comet = 2nd Leagues constant books (Balsa games out)
Milky Way = Tuned to prefer GMs high-rated players
Triangulum = Tuned to prefer Top players books wins
Ursa Major = As above, but on others Top books wins
Whirlpool = Tuned to prefer many Cevdet's books wins

More Details (about my created new opening books):
Non of above books deep opening lines are optimized..
In short, they are created to stress latest entries..!
In this way, we'll have possibility to check e.g which
Are better in overall openings, as we know only trend
Sounds good but not enough to determine which is best!
Be aware too, all of them based on SCCT's tours games,
And for any book, as usual I spent minus plus 15 min.
In same time that means, they include a lot of holes..
But anyhow, let's see what will be the influences...?!

Ok that's all for now, sure more info soon..

And be ready to 'Battle' for the Galaxy !)


Best,
Sedat

UPDATE

And here are latest played BN XXXII's strength results:

Some Notes:
Mostly of current versions played in older tours, tests etc.
Anyhow, I tested them once more..you know more better!

Meanwhile (about engines which are close to 3750 Elo),
Raubfish SC is still 'best' in draw ratio if playing itself..Btw,
And wonder who will be 1st hero who'll break this record ?)
While other stronger ones produce av. 10%-15% more draws!
Sure that's other question...but for 30-40 Elo is it worth?
If not clear, do you wish to see almost all games as draw?)
If you ask my view sometimes ok but I'd prefer much less...
And I assume that mostly friends will agree with Me too )

More Details:
Current strength test is with Unique suite, but if Balsa, then
Their strength is much closer...actually even under these cond.
It's clear that they are much close (in strength) to each other!

Be aware of that too,
It seems Berserk and Obsidian suffer a bit via Polyglot adapter,
Sad.. but no BIG problem since we've many other alternatives!

Note also that the CS is already started...and any Entry with
53% winning percentage will be qualified into Super League!
And I expect that many books will perform over than 53%+

Good luck to all... )

UPDATE 2

AdrianOliva book is managed to qualify..with close to 56% win. percentage !!

What I can say more,
There are trillions of Galaxies..but it seems AdrianOliva is one brightest ones!

UPDATE 3

Well, here are some other new entries: BN XXII Top could not..but
AbbyStein and OPTIMUS 2407 are qualified...with 54%+ win. perc.
Congrats to OrgZ and ConRog !

By the way,
OPTIMUS's draw ratio is incredible with low numbers: 81%
And for anyone missed, the current tour is NNUE enabled..why I say like that?
Because there are such engines+books, even as NON-NN their draws are higher!

Here is a new Round-Robin tour (only constant players)
And as I expected so far,
Triangulum, Ursa Major, Andromeda etc. perform better...

   8 Cigar PB       3735   10   10   420   48%  3748   87% 

Note: Round-Robin's draw ratio (based on 1680 games) not high: 86%

BM = Blue Marlin 14.6
KA = Kayra 1.0
KD = Komodo Dragon 3.3
PB = SF-PB 101121
SC = SF-SCCT 250122
SH = ShashChess 21.1
SW = Swordfish 14.7
TT = Tetra 1.0

More Details:
SF-PB 101121 avx2 is playing with nn-a68688dd90ce.nnue
In this way, SF-PB's strength is more close to Raubfish SC

And please stay tuned,
Very soon more entries (DON, HCAN etc.) are coming...
