IMPORTANT UPDATE 6

1st of all,
Unfortunately DON 190524, HCanFree 2404, Pampa 3 etc. books could not qualify..
E.g theirs performances ended with 52% win. percentage, good but not enough...
And this a surprise, but this is life..via qualification is hard, no way each time to
Gain the highest points...it's impossible..at least my organized tours confirm..!

However, after all...once more we noticed that,
Any opening book performance depends on our used conditions:
And according to my experience, here are some main factors:
- Opponents (no much ways to gain vs book with 'strong moves')
- Slower TC, MP, Ponder ON etc (again no much ways to gain..)
- Strong NN assistance plays BIG role..better quality for sure!
But quite often boring...due to almost all games are Draws..

In other words, what I'm trying to say as usual:
I prefer running tours under such conditions,
Where the participants may gain more points...
But sometimes not all in my hands...right ?)

And that's not all.. please read carefully:

Now I'll run a new unofficial test, but important experiment,
Where I will test Pampa 3 (via Raubfich) vs Player1, Player2 etc
I mean under similar cond. as BN XXXI's 2nd league, as main diff.
This time all books will be played by close in strength engines!
In this way, we will have much more useful data for comparing..

If nothing else,
We will see that Raubfish SC is bad or not...

And please stay tuned... )

UPDATE 7, another important update!

Well, the Experimental test is completed...

And again and again we noticed also that,
It all depends on out used conditions, especially the opponents play
As serious and important factor too...sure I refer to gain better points!

Continuing....

And as I stated many many times that,
Any book's performance depends on our conditions, and no doubt too:
The books which are well-prepared gain better points, it doesn't matter
Much if via Raubfish or Polyfish or vs Plyers1 or vs Andromeda etc.
Because other Top entries are already proved to be so..!! and if you
Going to ask, which ones: I say simply: AndrinOliva plus Dara 090724
And DONfree 090724 are managed (in both recent leagues) to qualify..
Sure soon as possible, I hope to share latest BN XXXII's standings

And here are the played results of the mentioned experiment test,
Note: all books are played by very close in strength Top NN engines:

And as we see..Pampa via Raubfish SC is again unstoppable...

Code: Select all

Rank Name                          Elo     +/-   Games   Score    Draw 
   0 Pampa 3                        33      11     520   54.7%   86.3% 
   1 Player3 SC                     -8      14     130   48.8%   94.6% 
   2 Player1 TT                    -35      26     130   45.0%   80.8% 
   3 Player2 SH                    -43      21     130   43.8%   86.2% 
   4 Player4 PB                    -46      23     130   43.5%   83.8% 

520 of 520 games finished.

GAMES:
https://mega.nz/file/y0AlUSiL#WP45jZfXI ... On0Jslghzw

Conditions:
2x Epyc 7B12, CuteChess, 1 Core, Ponder OFF, 40s+05s, 64 MB Hash, 4-MEN

So as final conclusion,
Pampa 3 book + Raubfish SC engine is not bad, poor at all, e.g in XXXI
2nd League: Pampa 3 performed as best: 52%, where now even better 55%
And I hope all these testings to be useful...

Best,

Breaking News:
35 entries: 12 managed to qualify... Congratulations!
Really amazing...yes, these warriors came from other
Galaxy...and destroyed everything on the Universe !)
On other hand, I expected more qualified.. but it seems
Some were not lucky or some old-dated or some simply
Are not optimized so well, who knows?) and as usual,
We see again same authors books are at higher ranks!
What does it mean? a lot..Btw, I calculated the overall
Performances of qualified books so far, for examples:
Qualified stats of 2nd League - Overall Performances:
6 Public books: 3779 Elo / 6 Private Books: 3774 Elo
In other words, again the Top Public books break down
The well-known rules! at least under these conditions!
As we know, normally Private ones should be stronger..
Perhaps it is time to focus only over Public books ?)
In this way, many chess friends will benefit for sure!

The Current Leader: Esculapio - Congrats to Angel Morano!

Breaking News - 18.07.2024:
The championship ended...congrats and many thanks to all authors!
DON could not stay 'silent' for much longer...and said the 'last' word!
And with clear margin! 2nd place: MegaTron + Stealth, 3rd. HCAN!
Really very impressive results... not easy to be in one of best ranks!
On the other hand, if checking the overall stats of Super League tour:
Again Public books performed better than Private books, for example:
6 Public books: 3772 Elo / 6 Private books: 3767 Elo, the diff. is 5 Elo
Besides, in both Leagues: the Champions are Public books as well..!
In short, in my understanding: the situation should be just opposite..!
But no problem.. since current CS is just FUN tour..no more no less...
And this is not all, new idea born: there will be a very exciting Battle,
In short, a new GRAND Duel match is coming soon: DON Vs Esculapio,
It will be played via Classic cond. by 9-times Champ: Cfish 030820
You know, sometimes not bad idea to be checked without assistance..
And wishing the best of luck to current Champions of both Leagues!

Super League Champion: DON - Congratulations to Vasid Chouhan!

[Sedat Canbaz]

Hello there again)

Meanwhile, I am very pleased to announce also that
Another exiting Duel - MP Ponder ON match is started:
Pampa 3 vs Triple-Brains

Some Notes,
This time as players are used the Winners of XXXI's Leagues!
And frankly,
Nowadays Angel Morano's books are frequent Duel players..
But this is not as double standard...and what I can do?
If his Top books are managing often to be Number One?

But remember too,
I never play for 2nd place too !) just joking...) but in the past,
Up to 2009, you may remember...my target was to be not 2nd...
And I can not remember to be 2nd.. at least on PlayChess...!
A note: even on those times my hardware was not fastest...
Sure nowadays we have greater younger talents..who are
Better than Me..you know, you can't stay as best forever..

Ok chess friends.. and let's back to our ongoing Duel match:

84 of 200 games finished.

Note: All books as without NN assistance again (via Cfish 030820):

GOOD LUCK to all of us )

[Sedat Canbaz]

Btw, just I'd like to point out also that,
Without using NN assistance, reminds my other GREAT hobby:
Racing Pigeons, yes...they are oriented and return to their
Home (lofts) over measured distances...and during the races,
The best pigeons return at the highest speed...for examples,
If the birds are well-trained, many are successful from long
Distances (sure if weather cond. etc are good) but in case of
Short distances...then it's hard to determine, which is best,
Since they fly in group (e.g they return all together) but if the
Birds are not well-trained, then the situation is changing... and
Most thoroughbred pigeons are more potential to find their home,
But then the loss is BIG, especially if the race is in mountain areas,
Sure main influences are predators on one side, hunters on other,
But however, as final words,
The racing pigeons are very very smart...even in most difficult
Conditions, many of them can survive and return to their homes!

In other words,
Our tests as without NNUE assistance is something like:
Releasing the racing pigeons as without well-trained..!
And as I stated earlier: via HUGE assistance such as:
Slower TC, MP, BIG + Strong Evalfiles in size etc. then
The players have more chances to gain higher points!
In same time even weak books have BIG chances to gain..
But most important is that What about with less help..?
I mean such as without NN assistance..then the strongest
Opening books are performing better, with higher points!

Ok friends, right now I will start working on my chess site
And soon as possible I hope to publish the results, games of
Pampa 3 vs TripleBrain

And please stay tuned...

[Ding-Bat]

Very excited to see the results from this match

[Sedat Canbaz]

Very excited to see the results from this match

Thank you..soon as possible...

The Duel of Battle of Wolves is completed:

The Winner is TripleBrain - Congrats to H.Can, Roger...sure
If I played again some, serious influence then how happy I'm...
Actually it seems so...e.g without Optimus, Pampa would win..
Anyhow just for fun.. Congratulations to Angel Morano as well
