Hello Chess Friends,

I am very pleased to announce that
Just another BOOK NNUE CS started..

What is new?
All Book entries will be played by Brainlearn 27 Vs much weaker
Constant engines, which are about 100 Elo weaker than Brainlearn,
Where all weaker engines will use to play via Balsa-Wins book,
In this way, there will be BIG fun, because the overall draws are
Expecting much lower..reason, about 100 Elo Eng NN difference!

Why Balsa (for all constant 10 engines)?,
1st it's one of strongest suites, which prefer various openings!
2nd via Balsa, we will have more chances to see which books are
Better in overall openings..just TREND openings...not enough !!
3rd. Besides, Balsa book includes not so many BIG holes for sure!
Otherwise, let's say we used SPCC, CCRL, TCEC etc. we will have
Many weaker lines, that means easier points.. sorry, this time,
The tour's target is to see stronger lines..that means harder..!

And why Brainlearn 27 (main engine for planing book entries)?
For several reasons, 1st the Strongest, less Drawish, sure
Under these used/played conditions...note also that current
Brainlearn is special ver, compiled by Mr. Tanick Ramz (Orgz),
Futures CTG, BIN, other important future has small size (1.8 MB)
And in same time, compatible to use external NNUE Evalfiles!
You may know, otherwise if using for each book player 76 MB:
It is simply pointless...not logical... right ?

And here are latest Candidate tour results, played at Bullet 1m+06s,
Note that due to no free time, all newer 3750+ are not tested..but
Just..via strong openings: no much improvement...this is a fact!
And I plan to pick 10 engines, which will be about 100 Elo weaker:

Code: Select all

   # PLAYER              :  RATING  POINTS   GAMES   (%)
   1 Brainlearn 27       :  3804.1   651.5    1000    65

  14 FatFritz 3          :  3692.0   783.5    1700    46
  15 Obsidian 11         :  3689.3   774.5    1700    46
  16 Berserk 11.1        :  3688.6   775.0    1700    46
  17 Caissa 1.16         :  3688.2   534.0    1200    45
  18 Raubfisch X45       :  3687.6   772.5    1700    45
  19 ShashChess 16       :  3685.5   458.0    1000    46

In other words,
Let's see under these new cond. which books will gain more points?)
DON, OPTIMUS, PYRAMID, TURKEY.. one of them will be next Champ ?
Or any other ? ok...we will see... after all, time will tell...)

And please stay tuned, more info etc. very soon )

Update 2

This time unfortunately I have not so good news,
The planning:/started new CS is already cancelled!

As reason, for example, in Gauntlet mode:
3 of current 3700 Elo engines are not capable to use Balsa-Wins bin!
Actually normally they are capable to use...but it all depends, e.g
If including a few players (4 books) it's all right..no problem...but
If adding all players (11 books), then Cfish, Cichess and CF-EXT are
Starting to play as without book..very strange...never seen before!
But at least I'm sure that rest 7 engines are used to play via Balsa...

Btw, just I'd like to point out also that
Brainlearn 27 is one best, stable engines if using BIN books..I mean
It does not matter how many books are entered in Gauntlet mode etc.

As final conclusion,
Not sure exactly, very likely the programmers will explain better...
But I think that current strange behavior (about the 3 engines, which
Can't use bin book via 11 players) can be said as Engine bin book bug!
Because if this was as Cutechess GUI bug, then in all other rest engines
Would be appeared this unusual book bug issue...or simply I can say that,
The mentioned 3 engines suffer under these cond...no more.. no less!

Anyhow...soon as possible another new tour coming..
And meantime, I hope to pick more stable engines

Best,
Sedat

Hello there )

Well, this time I have good news,
I start organizing another new CS!

Note that
Current tour will contain two Leagues: Second and Super League,
Where all entries will be played vs Balsa Wins (in 2nd League)
Any Book, which will gain +10 Elo points better (than Balsa..)
Will be qualified Player into planning new Super League tour!

And to be more clear
All books will be played by BrainLearn 27, compiled by Orgz!
For less draws.. Bullet TC (30s+0.6s) used in Second League,
Btw, Balsa Wins is based on wins, played by Balsa series...
Futures small size and its deep opening lines are not tuned
For anyone missed, why Balsa ? to stress the latest books
With more various openings...only TREND is not enough..
Plus in this way, the played results can be used as good
Indicator about which are better in overall openings!

And here are the 1st played results of 2nd League tour,
Interesting... e.g so far Balsa is leading (over DON...)
Sure in my guess, DON book has small chances to qualify..
Anyhow, let's see what will be standings after 1000 games

Code: Select all

Score of DON 210324 vs Balsa Wins: 4 - 7 - 490 [0.497]
...      DON 210324 playing White: 4 - 3 - 241  [0.502] 248
...      DON 210324 playing Black: 0 - 4 - 249  [0.492] 253
...      White vs Black: 8 - 3 - 490  [0.505] 501
Elo difference: -2.1 +/- 4.5, LOS: 18.3 %, DrawRatio: 97.8 %
SPRT: llr 0 (0.0%), lbound -inf, ubound inf
501 of 1000 games finished.

And please stay tuned,
Very soon more info, entries coming!

Good luck to all )


Best,

Well, another BIG update 12 books are entered....where many of
Them are quite different and interesting books..anyhow only one
Qualified DON Hercules for anyone missed it's my work, tuned to
Prefer older DON series,it's lines are based on many months ago..
DON Hercules's lines are as quality wine, with time getting better!
Other entry is my Perfect 2024 .almost all lines are up to 8 moves
Sure it's impossible a book which prefers various short lines and in
Same time to gain highest points vs current players..anyhow, I'm
Satisfied..if nothing else not so weak..Btw, in our opening theory.,
Some are used to say advantages openings, some balanced or
Unbalanced..but situation is not complicated as it looks, in short
There are weak and strong openings, right ? if still not so clear
Champions books are balanced books?) And all these sayings
Such as unbalanced are started to be used mainly since NNUE,
Before mostly used to say as own, neutral, strong, weak.. books
What forced to many that theirs mentality is changed so much ?
In other words, is it hard to announce weak, bad etc openings ?
A few words about TURKEY, it's one of strongest that ever seen!
As same words are going for OPTIMUS..besides public plus free!
HCAN book is another master of piece..proved many many times...
One thing more, the old-dated Solista X performed good as well...
But it seems was really not so lucky..very close, but not enough..
Be aware too Qualified authors books are free to update theirs
Books in Super League..sure just in case..will be directly in Super
League, but if different in opening styles..then they will be started
From 2nd League.. Ok..that's all for now.. thanks for your interest )
