Update 2

Well, here are 1st results of Small CS (up to 15 mb uncompressed)
Sure the competition is just in beginning..error margin can be high
That's why it is too early for any serious conclusions...so let's see
What will be standings after more games.. but anyhow, it is clear
Minus plus who are as beast/best..at least under hard conditions!
Btw, do not forget to check please overall draw ratio (per player)
And yes no doubt that here is a bloody tour, via BIG fight for sure!!

Current Number One: Geralt - My Congratulations to Ian Hurnavich!
Plus not so bad performance by Skynet (SCCT) 180724, Rodent Z etc.

UPDATE 3

Rodent Z takes the lead...Congratulations to Nate Smith!
But Geralt, Skynet etc. are serious Champ candidates too
You may know..in the next rounds..everything may happen!

Note also that,
Exc. current players, there will be new entries as well..
Btw, so far all books are 2024 releases and created by other
Book Authors .. I mean simply that they are not my work...
Sure later I hope to include some based books too, such as
SCCT, CCRL, TCEC etc. which will be played by other NN
Chess engines, but all very close to Cfish..actually mostly
Of them are slightly weaker minus plus 5-10 Elo... in short:
In this way we will have more chances to see diff. game styles,
Plus to check which are stronger in overall openings as well!

UPDATE 4

For right now,
Geralt is Number One again..really interesting and very impressive!
Rodent is 2nd..very good, where 3rd is Skynet, not so bad as well..
We will see..this time who will say the last word...but Geralt seems
To be more close (in distance) to highest point of Everest mountain!

Note also that,
Yoruba 230824 (by Jorge Centelles) is the next new entry...plus many
More players will be entered as well..

Breaking News (19.09.2024):
1st of all, let Me say please about tournament logo, it's a Everest mountain!
And once more...to gain..to be...on Top under these conditions is very hard!
That's why I could not find any better tournament picture, regarding all over..
And I hope that you like my idea of realizing to be as Everest mountain logo ?)
About Geralt performance: unbelievable record...only a few steps are left..!
Besides/rather I'd day Geralt is even old dated/belongs/released 01.04.2024
Sure we should not forget to mention Castigo, Rodent etc are great as well!
Actually as same words are going for many others too but no free time for all
Btw, some my created books are merged into one player (e.g TCEC/SPCC),
In short they are based on data/wins (played in SCCT tours) but unfortunately,
Due to their wins are not enough...are in One book, thanks for understanding
And they are merged/picked...which are close in strength (according to stats)
One thing more, current overall drawratio (based on 14850 games) 69% nice!
And to be honest, I can not remember similar very low draw values by 3600+
Ok friends, that's all for now...soon as possible I hope to share new updates )

The Current Leader (Up to 15 MB): Geralt - Congratulations to Ian Hurnavich!

Breaking News (20.09.2024):
Via this update now is clear who managed to be on highest point of Everest:
The name of this great book: Geralt, yes...one of strongest that ever seen !!

And with kind permission (by Mr Ian Hurnavich) Gerald available Download:
https://mega.nz/file/jsRigZDI#XLhbbXhvA ... YYZ8R71aFg
Gerald's recommended settings are Best Move: Disabled / Book Depth: 100

2nd rank is currently Castigo (by Mr. Morano), in short, no BIG surprise at all,
Because just in case if Top Authors books will be NOT on Top...then I start to
Wonder such as perhaps there is something wrong in my tourney conditions)
3rd Rodent (by Mr. Nate):very good too... On other hand, I'm very impressed
By GM Champs performance as well, tuned to prefer GM Champions: LXVIII
Btw, I'm very pleased to announce also that
The lowest / incredible draw records are belonging to my work: SCCT + BS
With 57%, moreover my Unique3800+ KV has very low draw-ratio too: 58%
Yes.. here calculation tools, stats are talking (not papers, magnifying glasses)
Why I say like that? because my work is highly criticized over long past years..
Yes they tried their best to damage my work, some tried that my openings are
Drawish much but they forgot to mention that my short openings are stronger!
And once more, if you try 'weak' openings... then run thousands of games per
Player, otherwise the ERROR margin will be high..just saying and hope helps!
Because these 'clever' guys will never tell the true that they are weak and it s
Needed thousands of games (per player)...this is our World.. reality is reality!!
If still mot so clear..come to SCCT..in real Arena...then we can discuss more )
Note also that ongoing small CS (up to 15 MB) will be ended soon, but before
A new small SENTINEL book vers (by Mr. Roger) is expecting to be entered..

The Champion / Number One (Up to 15 MB) Geralt - Congrats to Ian Hurnavich!

Breaking News (21.09.2024):
Small Size CS (up to 15 MB) is over, thanks and congratulations to all authors!
SENTINEL 2409 is the latest entry...which performed on same level as Geralt!!
Yes despite on thunderstorm winds, these Warriors are tireless, they have only
One mission: to destroy the opponent! and they proved to be so...not once not
Twice...many many times...Note also that both Top books are titled as Champs!
Yes, they are with equal points, but there will be no Tie-Break match as reason:
Geralt is publicly available, where SENTINEL is private..otherwise, just in case
Of organizing a such Duel match... it will be not fair at all...right?
You may know, via SCCT tours: I'm doing my best for more fair test conditions!
Forget everything, even there are such testers, who still prefer: NN vs NON-NN
(Btw, I'm one of them) but at least I say: my used engines are close in strength ))
And this is not all..there are also such testers who prefer Learning EXP vs NON
Learning BIN books, sad indeed...maybe more time is required to take lessons )
What is more strange..there are CTG books too, which have learning future..but
Unfortunately they are staying far...really I have no much idea about why? but it
Seems they are not aware of CTG + Fritz GUIs... anyhow all right on the night !)
Meanwhile, Medium Size CS is started as well, wishing good luck to all players!

The Champions: Geralt / SENTINEL- Congrats to Hurnavich / Constantinesco!

UPDATE

By the way, I have good news:
As usual, no any game is recorded to be lost on time, great!
Actually, in almost all my organized SCCT book tournaments,
Time forfeits are not appearing at all...due to as far as
Possible (sure before running official championships):
I run serious strength testings..so I pick the best, most
Stable ones...sure which are less Drawish engines too!

And is this all...? not of course..for examples, periodically
I run system optimizing tools (for better PC performance)
And daily checking, such as running CPU speed benchmarks...
And especially in summer time: checking CPU temps etc. plus
No internet connection... against any kind of online threats!

In other words, in my tournament machine:
Just mainly chess programs are installed...

That's all for now... and have a nice weekend )

Breaking News (23.09.2024):
Medium Size CS (16-65 MB) over.. thanks and congrats to all book authors!
Yes..ConRog (Roger's) all books managed to be on Top.. that means a lot..!!
About Messi (Angel Morano) books (even old-dated) performed so good too!
RubiX performed good as well but not enough to be Champ...but it is all right,
No any One can be always as Number One...because it all depends on your
Work + on my used conditions..plus not bad performance come by Tunafish..
Actually many rest entries are performed not too bad as well..Btw, if you ask,
Which of both recent SIZE CS tours are based on stronger book participants?
I'd replay: overall Medium CS's books are stronger than Small...other question,
Which of both tours is harder? sure I'd say: Small CS! and why ?) very simple:
Via larger assistance is easier / stronger...right? Meanwhile, and I admit too:
Especially gaining points vs available public books is easier...sure I refer for
Experienced authors but my respect to all rest authors who never train as well..
You know, not all have free time...or to be interested much...for these reasons,
If any book suffers, I suggest more serious trainings...before wondering why !)
And once more, current tours are as without 'guide' (non-nn help) oh pardon )
Berserk 8.5 is NN..but its size so small (2.4 MB) so it does not matter so much...
Besides mostly played via Cfish (207 KB) and according from past to present
As usual, well-tuned, trained, with newer stronger move ideas etc. perform at
Better/higher ranks.. no more no less... proved and guaranteed..at least most
Tour results indicate this! one thing more, I almost forgot) the old-dated books
Are more potential to suffer unfortunately but no any problem since all for fun!
But this is also true..since many of you are not TD, imagine only new books...
Let's say all books to be released on this month (Sept 2024 )and just in case,
I'd not organize these exiting tours, as reason: because not all authors are
Active nowadays...In other words, I am the boss here ) Ok friends too many
