UPDATE 3

One thing more, but as another important notes too:
Since NNUE 2020, what is born, what we read by many guys?
(Sure some of them are fake, belonging to trollers etc.) e.g
Such as everything, related that ends as draw is bad, not good..
Sorry to say, but what kind of sick mentality can be of that ?)

And if still not so clear, here as other examples if NNUE Top engines:
Leko, So, Vidit plus many other great humans players openings, plus
Including DON, HCAN, OPTIMUS, Perfect etc mostly ending as draw !
And now what ? if more draws..all of our used openings are as bad ??
That's it.. here is the key..since what we see by some people in our hobby,
Such as they try to blame our favorite, strong openings...sad but true!

Meanwhile, if all we will follow theirs funny, sick mentality.. then
1000- 3000 Elo engines are better than 3800+ LOL )) because they are
Less DRAWİSH engines! sure I refer via Balsa again... try it.. if you have
No clue..and then report please..but you will never see so high draws..!

And it seems that these brains are far way e.g what's good, what's bad..
Btw, did these perfect fools play at any serious tours on Lichess or on
Playchess eng room? Or at any other platforms..let's say in SCCT too?
If not...I invite them...just in case..GOOD lessons will be..for sure!
And I promise all for free...Don't miss it...sure if you still not participated..
And stop running your silly games on your own PCs, because I think also that
It's totally a waste of time, if each time preferring only the bad, weak lines!
Because to be on Top (one of best): not so logical weapons to be a Winner..
In other words, try some new ideas, but better...and then who knows?
Maybe next time you will be as Winner..but before, I suggest harder and
Smarter work !! and just because is very hard..it does not mean to give up,
Try again and again !! Others are managed to do that.. and why not you ?)
Just in case.. wishing you good luck )

Hope helps too...

Hello Chess Friends )

As usual, I am pleased to announce,
NEW (1min + 0.5sec) CS is started !

What is New & Tournament's Target:
1st. Up to 30 MB (compressed size)
2nd. Chess Engines with 3650+ Elo
3rd. New Unique Opening Suite 2025
4th. Each will contain 1000+ games
5th. All via default Evalfiles, exc.
CfishGN via nn-a27a526755f0.nnue

In other words,
Just one same kind of Evalfile allowed..and here 1st gauntlet test,
And after...sure if all right, then Round-Robin tour will be started..

What I can add more, current cond. are not perfect, but ideal..!
Moreover, it's much fair, besides no Double Standards.. You know,
Some testers avoid many engines..such as they are clones, hehe ))
I wonder, in their tests.. all original? if so is there any proof over?
Frankly I hardly doubt...but this is life, we have to live with that!
By the way,
If all people will be same..then our World would not be boring?)

Anyhow, enjoy with SCCT results...and wishing good luck to all )

Breaking News (02.02.2025):
Series of exiting CS are ON...as players, as far as possible 3650+ played!
And I've good news: it seems all stable... no any game to be lost on time!
On other hand, separate tours organized..e.g up to 30 MB (compressed),
Which includes Top engines min. 3650+ Elo and the other tour includes
Stronger players, sure via bigger NN Evalfiles with over than 3800+ Elo, in
Same time that means we've 2 Champs, the Winner of 3650+ (Small size):
Obsidian 15 where the Winner of 3800+ is SF2-PRO 290125 and how nice
That both engines are as 1st time Winners in SCCT tours! Btw, CorChess is
Proved again to all of us that belongs to the strongest ones but unfortunately
Lost (in tie-break of 1276 games, where SF-PRO2 290125 is managed to win)
And please stay tuned, soon as possible 3800+ tour results will be shared too..

NN Small Size's Champ: Obsidian - Congratulations to Gabriele Lombardo!

Breaking News (06.02.2025):
Just another new CS.. this time as players are new releases plus highest
Rated are picked of recent LVI and here are the final rankings, Note also
That Tie-Break matches are played between SF-FAU vs Troubadour, due
Theirs points were equal (during official round-robin competition) And yes
Mr Eduard's engine (Troubadour) performed unbelievable superior strong
Under these preferred cond. On the other hand, SF-FAU as new incomer,
Managed to be 2nd rank, really can be counted as shocking news, since
In current tour, there are many serious players.. In fact, as we see, again
Contact, CorChess etc are one of strongest engines! Btw, Kookaburra and
Private 19Sf are oldest, released many months ago...but still among best!
One thing more, against any confusions, DON v3.1 is a engine (not a book)
Meanwhile, please stay tuned:..very soon a new NON-NNUE CS is coming..
Ok dear chess friends, that's all for now, congrats and many thanks to all!

The Champion: Troubadour 1.5a - My Congratulations to Eduard Nemeth!
