UPDATE

Another idea is born, e.g
There will be Eng NN Entrants as without books!

In short,
I hope to include also those engines which are close: 3750 Elo,
But they will be played as without using any opening book and
In this way, XXXVII CS will contain more unique playing styles!
And in same time, we'll have chance, which NN file is stronger,
Sure I refer as without books! you know, influences may appear..

And here are the mentioned NN engines as without using any book:
Btw, Obsidian 13.25 will be out as reason, stronger than 3750 Elo!
Sure not only via current small tour..plus based on other tests etc.
But the good news is that, the rest Top 4 (four) players will be in...
Not sure to include Komodo Dragon 3.3 or not.. because at Bullet
Komodo Dragon is weaker (than Raubfish) minus plus 5-10 Elo

Code: Select all

Rank Name                          Elo     +/-   Games   Score    Draw 
   1 Obsidian 13.25                 26      24      80   53.8%   90.0% 
   2 Neon Tetra                      0      24      80   50.0%   90.0% 
   3 ShashChess 21.1                -4      26      80   49.4%   88.8% 
   4 SF-SCCT 250122                 -9      24      80   48.8%   90.0% 
   5 Berserk 13                    -13      31      80   48.1%   83.8% 

200 of 200 games finished.
Be aware too,
Soon as possible, a BIG update is coming and any player will include
1000+ games that means also there will be Champion titles as well!

Breaking News (16.10.2024):
Ladies and Gentlemen, it's my pleasure to announce the 1st XXXVII's Champions:
DON and Tunafish..2nd rank belongs to Megaton RevA (by Mr Tanick Ramz again)
And for right now, Hazel (as Tunafish) is 3rd rank.. so good achievement as well
Hey dear Vasid, OrgZ, this is too much!..On other hand, is this all luck, surprise?
Not of course !! They gave their signals from previous days... such as I'll destroy
Everything on field...and frankly I'm happy...besides Tunafish is public, moreover
It's free! In other words, that means a lot..about DON author (for anyone missed):
I call him as Father and after checking all his great records (from past to present)
Mr. Vasid fully deserves its name! sure my respect to all rest book authors as well
No doubt they're very talented too! You know no one can be always Number One!
It's simply impossible... actually possible, but required non-stop efforts, is it worth?
Not of course..because our 'Chess' should not be all in our life! as other important
Influence is Health, yes, during testings, tuning, working..over books, our health is
in Danger.that's why please..take care and pay more attention all over! Meanwhile,
The tour is still not ended..in next days, more entries are expecting to be entered..

Private Book Champion: DON 151024 - My Congratulations to Vasid Chouhan!

Breaking News (17.10.2024):
Well, via this update 8 books entered..where some of them performed very good!
E.g AbbyStein (by Tanicl Ramz), Rubix (by Ian Hurnavich) actually even Pyramid
(by Angel Morano) as old dated is ranked not bad, and I admit too No Nook NN is
Performed much better than many and why? In my opinion, their Evalfiles seems
So strong (sure here I refer even as without books) that rarely makes mistakes...!
Once more (for anyone missed), this is the same version, which is played in Giant
E.g tuned to prefer No Books openings (minimum 3700+ Elo.) On other hand, as
We see Messi's other powerful weapon (Esculapio) again on scene in short, great!
What does it mean? Simply means he fully deserves Messi name too..!! Not once,
Not twice. many many times...Btw, after checking closely... Esculapio has 1 point
Better (than Tunafish), that's why Esculapio is ranked as latest Public Champion...
Meanwhile, current competition paused..but it's planing to be resumed after week..
Sure after resuming ..new/updated books will be acceptable..so please stay tuned!
And then let's see which books will be the next Champs..see you later my friends)

Private Book Champion: DON 151024 - My Congratulations to Vasid Chouhan!
Where Public Book Champion: Esculapio - Congratulations to Angel Morano!

UPDATE

1st of all,
BIG thanks to Mr. Tanick Ramz (OrgZ), for his support over SCCT tours!
I've seen a lot of programmers, but his work belongs to one of the best!

Just via my yesterday's request ...and in very short time,
OrgZ is managed to help here again..that means a lot !!

And what is new,
Neon Tetra v2 is a new candidate engine, which supports BIN + CTG
And as most important is that, very close in strength to Raubfish SC
And in same time Neon Tetra v2 includes the new updated CTG future,
E.g older SF-SCCT engine's CTG code seems to be buggy.. not sure exactly
What will be CTG influences with N. Tetra, but very soon will be clear..
But I expect, sure via CTG: Neon Tetra v2 will do better influences ...

Meanwhile, here are latest new strength results, as we see after 745
Out of 2000 games: 0.5 point diff. it seems they are close in strength..
Be aware too, Neon Tetra v2 is playing with move overhead 50, where
Raubfish SC via 200, e.g same values are used as in recent XXXVII CS !

Code: Select all

Score of Neon Tetra v2 vs Raubfisch GTZ SC: 75 - 74 - 596 [0.501]
...      Neon Tetra v2 playing White: 57 - 29 - 289  [0.537] 375
...      Neon Tetra v2 playing Black: 18 - 45 - 307  [0.464] 370
...      White vs Black: 102 - 47 - 596  [0.537] 745
Elo difference: 0.5 +/- 11.1, LOS: 53.3 %, DrawRatio: 80.0 %
745 of 2000 games finished.
Same conditions are used..as in recent XXXVII CS, exc.
Balsa + Unique openings are used to play...

GAMES: later will be shared, sorry here no free time for all
And thanks for your understanding...

Best,
Sedat

UPDATE 2

1st test + 2 Elo (in favor for Neon Tetra v2)

Code: Select all

1   Neon Tetra v2  +160/-149/=1691 50.28%  1005.5/2000
2   Raubfish SC    +149/-160/=1691 49.73%   994.5/2000
Draw-Ratio is not so high: 84%

----------------------------------------
2nd test + 3 Elo (in favor for Raubfish GTZ SC)

Code: Select all

1   Raubfisch GTZ SC  +202/-187/=1611 50.38%  1007.5/2000
2   Neon Tetra v2     +187/-202/=1611 49.63%   992.5/2000
Draw-Ratio is unbelievable, just: 80% ( very low draw record!)

Btw,
Did you ever see similar low draw records, to be produced by 3750+ NN ?
Oh pardon...once happened... produced by Perfect 16 book: 72% draws !!

GAMES:
https://mega.nz/file/zxQElT4a#y8POIrdwA ... aLYMcDJ8YQ

Final Conclusion (about CTG book formats under Cutechess):
- FUN is all right (e.g theirs produced draws are very low)
- Strength is all right (both almost identical in strength)
- Eng Stability is all right too (no crashes, time forfeits)
- CTG Stability is not all right (CTG code seems to be buggy)
E.g often is earlier out of book or playing the defeats..!

After all,
All the above important factors are enough ? not of course !!
In other words (sure for future tours and for more fair cond.):
Unfortunately CTG books out, only BIN books will be played!
Who knows..may be one day my good dream will become true,
But it's very clear also that not 'yet'

Best,
Sedat

Hello Chess Friends,

1st of all,
I would like to express my gratitude to all WCCC
Tournament Organizers, Engine, Book Authors...
For over long period time: 50 years (half-century)!!
And really sad that WCCC is coming to its end,
No doubt that it will be BIG miss for many of us!

Anyhow, I've good news, since a special day
Celebrating, mentioning 50 years of WCCC,
While SCCT has less active period: 27 years!
Anyhow I think that it's a long period of time,
Especially to be hold / managed by single TD!
As most important: no sponsors, donations etc.
Because 'chess' is my hobby...no more no less!!

In other words, a new tournament idea is born:
SCCT (25m + 10s) is coming soon and it will be
Adapted to WCCC's cond. sure here not all will
Be same.. such as some WCCC vers. are private...
However, it will be close for sure! as main difference
1st SCCT tour cond. will be much more fair, since
All will be played on same, but fast CPU machine!

To be more clear, for more fair + high-quality games,
All SCCT engine matches are planning to be played:

- 2x EPYC 7B12 (128 Cores / 256 Threads)
- New/Updated Balsa openings will be used,
Where each opening will be played 'twice'
- Ponder ON (thinking on opponent's turn)
- Slow Rapid Time Control: 25 min + 10 sec
- MP (4 Cores/Game), Hash: 4096 MB, etc.

PARTICIPANTS:
Arasan v24.2.2
Ares v1.005.2
Chiron 5
Deep Junior 13.3
Deep Shredder 13
Ginkgo (Fritz 19)
Jonny 4.00
Komodo Dragon 3.3
rofChade 3.1 NN
Rybka (Fritz 16)
ShashChess Santiago
The Baron 3.45
Tornado 9 NNUE
Zappa Mexico II


More Details / Tournament Rules:
• WCCC 2024's mostly + the frequent of last 5 years are picked..
• As alternative, since 1995: all WCCC's Former Champs are in!
Reason, older Winners are not compatible...required DOS OS
• Be aware too that each player will contain minimum 52 games
Btw here is another similarity 'number' to the years of WCCC !)
• GPU engine/s (e.g Lc0) is out, simply due to parallel matches
• Instead of Own books: Balsa openings, due to many engines
Released as without own books or many of them as old dated,
Where Balsa rarely make mistakes, proved over years: Details
Sure for better ideas, opinions..please feel free to Contact Me

Meanwhile,
Any guess? e.g which engines will manage to be in Top ?)

And wishing good luck to all players, from past to present!

UPDATE

As usual, I am very pleased to announce that
One of my greatest events are started! Two separate CS will be played:
Blitz: 3m+2s / Slow Rapid: 25m+10s

Important Note:
Junior 13.3 out, LCZero CPU in, due all Junior 13..series crashes, sad!


And here are 1st results, playing Blitz 3m+2s where K. Dragon leads!!
Congrats to Komodo team! sure the tour is just in beginning..you know,
It is as lottery to see who are best (I mean if via small number games..)
Btw, many WCCC CS include minus plus same amount games (per player)
Where under current SCCT cond. any entry will be played min 52 games!

Note also that,
Ares seems to be very weak vs current opponents...so in Rapid CS,
I plan to add other, different... but stronger WCCC's engine player!
