Breaking News (18.08.2024):
Via current update the standings are changed...I've done my best Oliprog P23
To be not as Leader...but I admit that Perfect's openings are really impressive!
You may know, I don't touch/tune the deep opening lines (since 2009), in short:
All my created deep books are based on theirs engines ideas moves...so now
You can imagine the situation.. in other words, if hand tuning, training etc. then
Definitely we may expect better performances, anyhow I'm satisfied...e.g even
Without any tuning, Oliprog P23 performed as best via 54% win. perc: Results
https://ibb.co/VCsdwRp
Reason of taking a screenshot, simply because another 'unforgettable' record!
About the current Champion (XXIII Top), based and tuned to prefer high-rated
Players of B/N XXIII CS... so no any BIG surprise that success is again on door!
Be aware too, in this CS: all entries will be played min. 500 games vs 10 (ten)
Constant books...due to the constants ones are quite various in openings..and
Via this testing method, it's more fair, right ?) I assume that you see my point!?
On other hand, the Top (3800+) entrants will play min 1000 games (per player)
And a few words about book registrations (sure in case of interest to submit..)
Public plus Private books allowed... and as bonus (for frequent book authors):
I can accept 2 (two) opening books from same author... ok..that's all for now )

XXXIV's Champion: XXIII Top - Congratulations to SCCT Top Book Makers !
Finely I feel better, otherwise I was afraid this CS will stay active forever )

Question:
So responses for black with those lines don't matter?.
Example
It can be 1. d4 d5 and that's it no other possible move for black such as Nf6/e6/g6 etc.

In simple terms the 4 lines apply for white alone? Black can open only 1 line per response?

Breaking News (20.08.2024):
Via this update, unfortunately Yoruba lost the lead...and the new Number One:
Tıtans DESU = tuned to prefer DON Hercules, Everest, Sentinel and Unicarnio!
As you see.. this time current Leader is with clear margin ahead: 54% win. perc.
In short, just great, unbelievable performance..but is this all luck? I hardly doubt..
Because according to many older tours...these Top private books were BEAST!
I admit also that Titans DESU is not so much various in openings, but it suits to
Current rules: close to 2 MB (uncompressed), plus e4, d4, Nf3, c4 are enabled
About the other entry: Hurnavich..a new book, submitted by Mr. Ian Hurnavich
E.g Hurnavich book performance (up to 500 games) was over than 3800+ Elo
(I mean that's why played 1000 games, normally if less than 3800: 500 games)
Anyhow in next rounds: unfortunately was not lucky.. but I'm grateful to Mr. Ian
For his work, energy, passion, interest..over long past years, as real Gladiator!
And as same words going to many other book makers as well...thanks again!
Actually most important is fun..but if we check Hurnavch's overall records, then
No doubt that his great books performed many times at one of the best ranks!
Note also that in next days, I may create more based books, which will prefer
Other books. I wonder too: can I break DESU unbelievable record: with 54%?
Btw, a tour with book players, where theirs deep lines are non-hand tuned:
