Thank you very much Sedat. What a wonderful engine was Polyfish! I missed for it.
Best regards

Not at all my friend )

Yes Polyfish is another star, but
Belonging to brightest ones !!

UPDATE

NON-NNUE (MP + BLITZ) CS started, with the highest rated 8 players!

And what I've said before (yesterday) ?)
Let's be more optimistic if not today why not tomorrow..yes, these
Words were for Stockfish, anyhow I think also here only a few people
May object about right ?) besides, Stockfish is super-efficient mother!
So my respect to SF team plus all rest authors too, moreover it's clear,
Sure not much, but we see some improvements as NON-NNUE as well..

And in same time we notice also, Cfish is not strongest (as in past..)
But in fact, Cfish 030820's 9-times Champ records are unforgettable!
E.g I can't remember any other eng version to be so much successful..
Perhaps in old times, Rybka eng ver. had similar great Champ records..
But in latest years, I am sure, no any managed to be 9-times Winner !!

On the other hand,
it's too early for announcing...but however, in my estimation:
Stockfish 16 (NON-NNUE) will be as next new Blitz Champion!

UPDATE 2

SCCT NON-NNUE (MP + Blitz) Antalya 2025:
Stocksish 16 wins.. Congrats to SF team!

Yes, under more serious cond. as I expected,
Cfish 030820 is performing much better..but
This time Stockfish 16 is said the last word !!

Note also that,
I was planning to run more games (to reduce error-margin),
But due no much free CPU time, I realized here to be ended!
Moreover, SF16 won with clear points ahead..anyhow let's say
If 1000 games (per player) in case.. no one can predict, right?
And who knows? maybe then Cfish will be 10-times Champ ?)

Meanwhile,
Please stay tuned again..new NNUE CS is coming: up to 3MB !
Yes...the tour cond. will be very hard.. as we know also that,
Via less assistance, not easy to gain higher points..such as
- Climbing to Everest mountain's highest point: 8,848 meters!

And let's see, which 'pocket master' will manage to do that ?!)

Breaking News (11.02.2025):
Well, this time as participants only the small ones in sizes preferred e.g:
Up to 3 MB (uncompressed) plus as alternative, some NON-NN engines
Are played too..and these used conditions are much fair? not of course,
But no way regarding all engines, books etc to be played in perfect way..
If I am missing something..just let Me know please...you know, learning
Is never late..yes, I am much experienced in this area..but anyhow, I am
Still trying to learn/improve my work in better way..and I assume you too
On other hand, what is clear, via this tourney? Obsidian is just great one!
As we see, it performed over than 3750 Elo, just imagine as 3 MB and in
Same time minus plus 100-300 Elo stronger than many of his opponents!
Btw once more: playing under these hard cond is something like climbing
To Everest mountain, because usually via huge assistance..is easier, right?
Ok, that's all for now, congratulations and many thanks for your interest..

The Champion (up to 3 MB): Obsidian - Congrats to Gabriele Lombardo!

Breaking News - 12.02.2025:
The current competition ended, congrats and many thanks to all participants!
On other hand, sorry that I didn't work more over current book championship,
But as reason, due to no much free CPU time, sometimes not all in my hands,
Anyhow I think that current stats can be used as good reference about which
Are strongest...especially the tour indicates which are strong in Eng openings
In same time which are strong in Human openings, otherwise without this tour,
We'd not know, right? Ok..dear chess friends that's all for now, see you later )

Hello there,

As usually, I am very pleased to announce that:
Another New CS is going to be started very soon!

Note that in the planning tour,
Only 1 (one) engine by same author will be allowed
And in case of several new eng releases by same author:
Candidate tours will be for determining strongest one!
And each candidate entry will be played min 500 games
If equal points, then there will be tie break matches too

By the way, here is 1st candidate tournament results,
Where as players are only released by Mr. Anton Ces:
