Breaking News - 24.12.2023:
Another very special championship organized...but this time as players:
Only by Champions book authors..as usual the winner DON DON DON
Frankly, I am a little bit surprised...because there are many newer vers.
But it seems DON book's used TREND openings are superior strong...!
Actually here mostly of books are super strong too..some suffer..due to
They are old-dated already but C.B Conqueror (9 months old) still good..
And let Me say please a few words more about SCCT tours..regarding
Why I used to play under these cond. (I mean why Raubfish SC for all)
You may know or not...Many of SF based ones (as NON-NNUE) produce
Very high-draws..to be more clear, even as NON-NNUE..close draws or
Even higher than Raubfish SC as main difference is that (between them)
They are much weaker (for example, minus plus 250 Elo points) or other
Example, if using latest Top engine/s...sure they are stronger, but not so
Much as it looks I say 15-20 Elo, for anyone missed check / learn: Results
But let's say that we used to play. one of the latest, strongest Top engines
Then be sure.'fun' is dead..you may know, as usually I say over this issue:
To see a 'win'. it's something like Looking for a needle in a haystack..
What's point of using BIG umbrella? if almost no any drop rain on horizon...
Yes..87% draw-ratio is really not HIGH numbers for under Blitz conditions,
If still not so clear, I mean if we are using latest Top NNUE engines for all..
Then I suggest strongly min. 400-500 games (per player) vs various ones,
Because with a few wins...not as serious data to say such as best of best..
And this is not as joke... why I say like that? otherwise, the Error-margin
Can be too high e.g via 100-200-300 games etc. may lead to completely
Wrong conclusions about the real power, strength of the opening books!
Sure, I respect all other tours too..anyone is free to run at any conditions...
But at least now you see my point of view and I feel much better for sure!
Because time to time I have to make these statements, otherwise some
May start to complain that Raubfish is bad, crab (as before).....actually
The 'real' Champions never complain, because they are too busy with
Getting better..if nothing else mostly successful authors prefer that way..
Meanwhile, for more info about current tour on Goi + Openchess forums
