SCCT Book NNUE CS XLIII: A Thrilling Chess Engine Tournament
The 43rd edition of the SCCT Book NNUE Championship (CS XLIII) has officially concluded, marking another incredible milestone in the world of chess engine competitions. Organized with precision and passion by Sedat Canbaz, the tournament delivered intense excitement, technical brilliance, and plenty of surprises. Let’s dive into the highlights!
Crowning the Champion
The title of Public Champion goes to none other than Cevdet Dual, crafted by the talented Cevdet Sarı. From the very beginning, this book demonstrated exceptional performance, maintaining its position at the top throughout the tournament. Despite fierce competition from other strong contenders like OPTIMUS, Esculapio, and Skynet, Cevdet Dual proved unstoppable, securing a well-deserved victory.
It’s worth mentioning that Cevdet Sarı’s dedication to creating high-quality chess books has been remarkable. After years of tireless effort, often described as working in a "chess factory," he now celebrates this major triumph. Even though this might be his final contribution to book-making, his legacy in the field is undeniable.
Key Standings ank Name Elo Games Draw Rate Score 1 Cevdet Dual 3796 720 91% 52% 2 OPTIMUS 3794 720 92% 52% 3 Esculapio 3793 720 91% 52% 4 Skynet 3793 720 90% 52% 5 Akan 3788 720 92% 51%
Technical Highlights
-The tournament was conducted under rigorous conditions to ensure fair and consistent competition. Here are some technical details:
-Hardware: 2x AMD EPYC 7B12 processors.
-Software: CuteChess GUI with Ponder OFF.
-Time Control: 30 seconds + 0.5 seconds increment.
-Resources: 1 core, 64 hash, and 4 MEN.
-Books: Publicly available Polyglot BIN files with a book depth of 40. Some books followed specific author recommendations.
-The overall draw rate of 90% across 6,840 games highlights the extraordinary balance and precision of these chess books.
A Nod to Sedat Canbaz
A heartfelt acknowledgment goes to Sedat Canbaz, whose meticulous organization and dedication have made the SCCT tournaments a staple in the chess engine community. His efforts continue to foster innovation and enthusiasm among chess enthusiasts and book authors worldwide.
Final Thoughts
This year’s SCCT Book NNUE CS XLIII was a celebration of creativity and technical prowess in chess book development. While Cevdet Dual takes the crown, the other competitors, authors, and Sedat Canbaz himself deserve immense credit for making this tournament a resounding success.

Once more (for anyone missed... ),
Here are one of my GREAT sayings:
“To see a win (if playing under optimal conditions) by Top engines:
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and what's point of
Using BIG umbrella, if almost no any 'drop rain' on the horizon.”
In other words (about my above saying),
I have to be a' madman' to use such cond. where almost all games
Will be ended as DRAWS, sorry I have more important things to do!
One thing more,
My used tournament hardware is NOT so cheap! and is this all ?)
Not of course, e.g consumed electricity, my spent efforts have
To play a significant fun role about organizing all these tourneys!
Yes, under Bullet cond. may appear more 'blunders', but in same
Time more 'fun' may appear..besides Bullet NNUE can be counted
Slow time control as in past, at least my strength tests indicated so!
By the way,
Everyone is free to run better book tours, no problem from my side..
What do you wait? SCCT? Yes..I'm good at my job but not as perfect!
“The pessimist focuses on bad games; the optimist on good games;
But all greatest games of all-time have been played by optimists.”
“If you don't know past, it's not the end, learn from it, but if not:
You are a simple pawn that you don't know it's a piece of chess.”
Greetings

Hello Chess Friends,
Well, just another new CS, as far as
Possible with 3800+ Elo Participants!
And ones... which are LARGE in size!
All are very new vers. exc. Kookaburra and HypnoS++,
In short, both engines are entered just for comparing..
Regarding there is so much Elo improvement or not ?!
Btw, Artemis 12 TR is still using old-dated NN files!
So, it is expecting not much better points than older
Artemis eng releases! Anyhow I think not so important,
At least for my side is one of most important is FUN...
Note also that
SF-X 130425 is released by Vasid Chouhan (author of DON books)!
And for right now,
Kookaburra is the Current Leader - My Congratulations to DorsZ!
Be aware too please,
Each engine will play min. 1040 games, so we're just in beginning..
In other words, it is hard to predict..since 160+ games may lead to
Wrong conclusions...
Conditions:
2x Epyc 7B12, CuteChess 1.2.0, 1 Core, Ponder OFF, 30s+0.5s, 64 Hash, 4-MEN
HAVE FUN AND GOOD LUCK TO ALL )
Best,
Sedat

UPDATE 2
Kookaburra 3.10 is still Number ONE...really impressive under these cond !!
2nd rank Omega (by Eduard Nemeth) and Stockfish Dev. 02.04.2025, just great !
And for right now 3rd rank is SF PRO2 190325 (by APOCALYPSE), very good too!
And in same time that means,
No idea what will be next ranks..as we see, mostly are quite close in points!
Exc. already it is clear that unfortunately HypnoS++ 1.02 engine will be last..
More Details
• All AVX2, playing via their default Evalfiles / via Eng Learning OFF
• Plus all are playing with new Unique suite (based on 1113+ openings)
For more fair conditions, each of used opening line repeated as twice
• This time, all of the engines are configurated via move overhead: 100

UPDATE 3
And for the moment, Mr. Nemeth's engine:
Omega MPV takes the lead...2nd Kookaburra, 3rd Stockfish dev. !
And to be honest,
I like much ongoing CS..after each round, most ranks are changing!

Breaking News (15.04.2025):
Well, here another new series of 3800+ tours... congrats and many thanks!
This time Kookaburra said the 'last' word! Despite on many newer versions,
Kookaburra is Kookaburra, proved not once, many times to be one of best!
On other hand, it seems that since a long time no much Elo improvements!
But if not today...why not tomorrow? all in Eng programmers hands, right ?
Btw, frankly I was not planing to organize 3800+ tour at these days..but due
To respect to Mr. Vasid Chouhan (who is author of SF-X)..I realized to run it..
Anyhow no any regret and it's al right...but next similar future tour is planing
To be organized after several months..since nowadays I have no much free
Time for chess...Ok dear friends that's all for now..take care and stay safe )
LXIII's Champion: Kookaburra - My Congratulations to DorsZ, SF team too!
