There is missing many top players books so would be different if there were more public books.
Lack of appreciation and expectations of others lead to many now been private.
And also less in the hobby due to NNUE

I spend about 2-3 hours a day, sometimes even more in weekends, on tuning , finding more games and get rid of bad lines. It's my hobby and I love it. So in one year, i can spend more or less 1000 hours on OPTIMUS series but I don't feel this is a work at all.
Just happy to have found the right way to optimize book, again and again.

Best regards.
Thank you very much.Permanency of your books brilliant results in different tournaments says everything. Staying as champion is something much more difficult than becoming champion just for once. The job that you(your books) are doing very well indeed.
Best regards

Well...almost all of Public books are not as current players
Sure I am referring about all Public book releases..
But however,
As firstly.. I picked which are released in latest days of 2024
So I think that there is nothing strange here...

Be aware of that too,
Current tour's main target as firstly to test Human based books!
Otherwise,
Would not be too much..if each time only Eng books (as players) ?

But agree here that in latest years, there are less book releases, btw
Now I remembered the old good days ..almost weekly book releases..
But it seems NNUE era is played a negative role over many book authors..
What I can say more,
It's all in our hands.. no any one is forcing to use NN, right?)

Meanwhile, via current championship:
NO NN...all books under classic cond.. and I'm very happy to organize it..
Even there are so many books, which are pending...no free time for all,
But I will see what I can do in the next days, weeks...

Greetings )

Breaking News - 20.02.2024:
Another BIG update (25 books are entered) and the standings are changed!
Exception for OPTIMUS book e.g Leading with clear points diff. (as before)
LesChats is managed to be 2nd, Tunafish is 3rd, where Pampa is 4th place
Very interesting is that Dominguez + So are both Human Book Champions!
Btw, some of the books suffer..not all, but I mean mostly of Legends series..
But we can not expect much from minus plus 150 - 200 years old openings..
Note also that tour is still active.. very soon more books will be entered too..

Eng Book Champion: OPTIMUS - Congratulations to Roger Constantinesco!
Human Book Champions: Dominguez + So -Congrats to Domínguez and So!

Breaking News - 22.02.2024:
Another BIG update series (28 books entered)..and here are the standings:
All current entries are Human based books, Exc. DRAHMA (by A. Morano)
And as you may see too...mostly Top leading books are not changed much
Sure if comparing with previous standings, but what is new: Dominguez is
Managed to be Humans Number One, Wesley So 2nd, Sergey Karjakin 3rd!
Be aware of that too, another BIG update coming: 40+ books will be played
To be more clear, these new 40 are GMs books too, which are optimized /
Tuned to prefer theirs openings (as other rest my created GMs book ones)
E.g the creation method used is same as I used for Sun, DON Hercules etc.
In other words, in short time (about 10 min) I spend for each book creation..
And to be honest, I like the current competition a lot..e.g via this tour is clear,
About which Humans prefer the strongest opening lines and so far plenty of
Books are played..e.g for right now Total book number: 111 / 55324 games,
Where the overall draws percentage is 73%... not so high numbers, right ?
But I can't say same words for total numbers of games + books )) too high )
And I have good news: all my unreleased books will be shared very soon!
