Last Update: 14.03.2026 = the notes in 'dark red' are latestLast Update: 13.03.2026 = the notes in 'green' are latest
UPDATE (just for our computer chess progress) sinceThe charlatans still try to fool people on: OpenChess
1st of all, let me share also please some new notes more;A CPU PassMark benchmark is not a CHESS benchmark!Otherwise, rather it is just mixing 'Apples' with 'Oranges' !!
Therefore, It is much better and logical to focus on Ipman benchmarks:
Nodes/second        CPU                 Threads281.383.246 2x AMD EPYC 7B12      256 threads161.411.932 Threadripper 7970X     64 threads
If STILL not so clear, which may help to see whole picture ;)And now I'm going to give several new examples about over:(Due Mark's hardware: 32 cores, where Sedat's 128 cores)
1st, let's take a closer look if we're comparing 'gold';14 karat (58.5% pure gold) x 128 grams  = 12.000 usd24 karat (99.9% pure gold)  x  32 grams  =   5.500 usdNote: The prices are approx. that based on 06.03.2026
So it is very clear that,128 gr, 14k gold is much more valuable than 24k, 32 gr
2nd, other good example about whose property is better?!
In my country (Turkey), to be categorized as a 5-star hotel,A minimum of 120 rooms is required, if not.. e.g fewer than 120 rooms are categorized as a 4, or 3, or 2 star etc hotel.
And now let's say also thatI own a 5-star hotel with 128 rooms, each room is about 20 m2,Whereas you own a 4-star hotel with 32 rooms..and your 4-star Hotel's (per room)  has almost twice as large, such as 40 m2.
And ultimately, to get to the main point,Which of hotels is more valuable? I guess no need to say this here,Anyhow; 5-star one will be much precious than 4-star, furthermore,And about the market value of the hotels...you can be sure of this; A 5-star hotel is worth at least twice as much than a 4-star hotel.
3rd. just another..but again not so bad example over;
Let's me say also that we both of us have own gardens, such as;You have 32 apple of trees, and where I have 128 apple of trees.However, your trees are more productive as twice than mine, e.g:My 128 apple trees produce an av. of 50 kg (per tree), while your32 apple trees produce an av. of 100 kg per tree...In other words;Who will profit more here? I suppose there's no need to calculate..Anyway if we do a calculation, 128 trees x50 kg = 6400 kg, where32 trees x100 kg = 3200 kg, and as we see; a twofold difference!
And finally, about computer chess, I want to give you a few important details;My PC has 128 cores, compared to Mark's, which has 32 cores, therefore mine may Produce more than twice as many games on Mark PC..these words are not just onPapers..they're real..they are from my extensive games and tournament production..After all, the stats say 'last' words! Moreover, in the terms of processor speed, andAll these 'essential' advantages remain not so much affected...but if you ask 'how'? Simply I can run without any difficulty; 68+ or more parallel games, 1 core, whereas According to Mark he runs 28-32 parallel games, 1 thread. It's that clear and simple..There's no need to even discuss it..but no...to portray Sedat's machine as old, plusProblematic etc and etc. then to say also my PC has NUMA problems too, actually All these cheap, crazy actions are nothing but slandering... SHAME ON this Mark!And here 100% proofs; Mark can be candidate for biggest ever charlatan in chess!
And now I wonder as well?If I was able to explain it well with all these useful examples?) Of course, I can give many more similar enlightening examples but I think is enough..
But if there are dishonest, beginners..anything is possible, especially whereThere is no moderation...these maniacs act as fake lion and fake teachers ;)And I would not much surprised, if they might say bullshit things like that too; "4-star hotel (32 rooms 40m2) is better than 5-star hotel (128 rooms 20m2)"Or they might say, "32 gr, 24k gold is more valuable than 128 gr, 14k gold" Or "32 trees (100 kg per tree) is much better than 128 trees (50 kg per tree) ".Why? Because this Mark is already tried to fool that his 32 core is better..LOL
Anyhow, in short; their funny target is like that; Their goods are much better...,wow....but only in their 'funny' dreams !) LOLAnd let them not forget that we haven't been on this path since yesterday !!They should go and tell all these 'ridiculous' stories to theirs grandmother !)
In summary, here's another meaningful known quote about what's going on: A cat that wants to eat liver, but can't reach it says; "It was already dirty,"  
Just to be more clear;I wish there was a good scale to compare..whose efforts, tourneys are more valuable? Sedat vs Mark or others? if I'm not clearly ahead..it means I do know nothing...actually SedatChess (on Openchess):100% proof.. as most visited thread with 2537900+ views,.Similar stats never seen before..so impressive and all unbelievable record is since 2023..Frankly, that's what makes me happiest..means also; all my hard work wasn't in vain!
By the way, Why do I mostly use 53% CPU USAGE, HT (SMT) as disabled?Due to 'too much' of anything is harmful, e.g like vitamins, taking Too many vitamins can have side effects on our health...Moreover,Since I play mainly with 68 concurrency, due it's logical, it makesReasonable sense...plus my DUAL EPYC produced 1 core games Can be considered in close speed to the fastest CPU of 1 thread,Because I prefer HT as disabled, that means with physical cores!
Always remember too, and once more;Papers and Reality are completely two different things, plusFocus on stats than years, or focus on direction then speed, Or focus on small, slow steps forward than doing nothing!
And no matters what, you may in chess 50+ years etc. but if your Games, analyses are not available (to validate) or not useful for Majority... then many many wouldn't tell you simply; Come On :)
Just as reminder;Wasn't this Mark? (at best, like 4-star hotel) but he ranked his 7970X 1st place SPCC (at best, like a 3-star hotel) but ranked 2nd place, whereas my machine;2x EPYC 7B12 (in reality as 5-star hotel) but to be ranked 5th place..no way :)All what they wrote is such as definitely insincere, condescending or mocking Attitudes from the other side...reality is reality and no better explanation over!
About how they applied double standards;Wasn't SPCC, who's tested only Brainfish, but rest SF-Based engines were not allowed?Wasn't Prodeo site who banned Deeds for attack on Mark but they didn't when on Sedat?Wasn't this Mark? who ranked SPCC 2nd, despite for using HT ON + 82% CPU Usage?But when it comes to my PC, he tried to fool such as: HT OFF, 53% CPU USAGE is bad.Wasn't this Mark too? who ran a SF10 bench, without validating, rather as fake results?And most strange/funniest thing that he cannot share his SF10 bench analyses (in live)!Wasn't this Mark too? who mocked Ipman site, just because his 7970X is not on Top ?)Yes...that's why Mark picked 'PassMark bench results' (as reference) to fool all people!But when I revealed all these facts..What happened in reaction? Mark lost his direction,Started cheap attacks, saying as; Shame on Sedat etc Isn't that so wonderful? ActuallyThere are much more double standards applied in different ways to different people etc.But no free time for all.. but anyhow, I can't keep turning a blind eye to these injustices,Amateurish, dishonest behaviors for sure! Btw, I honestly would not be much surprised, If one day, they said such as: the sun rotates around the earth. :) and I am serious, DidYou see? in their views, even the less enhanced PCs (including 16 core notebook etc.) Are ranked higher, at the Top...despite with non-optimal hardware/testing settings..LOLBut they missed something, they didn't take it into account; 'Sedat' yes...my hard workOver long past years on our computer chess isn't that so cheap, and I hope this helps!Yes, the fruits of my labor are evident...and yet, without any shame, Mark came online Saying: Sedat is dumb ass plus later this charlatan blamed that my hardware is old etc.If this is true...then why his new PC (7970X) is much slower than mine (in chess)? ButNo wonder... and it's quite normal.. if a person is impudent, unbalanced, dishonorable!
One thing more, and once more, due to it's much worth to be mentioned over,And here, it's clearly evident how malicious Mark is behaved... and why? e.gWhen it comes to my PC, he tried to fool: HT OFF, 53% CPU USAGE is bad.But when it comes to other PCs, HT ON and 82% CPU USAGE is okay..andI've never seen such an unbalanced..and he made me laugh a lot, seriously :)And all his steps, his inconsistency are to max. degree, but don't be surprised If we're dealing with a charlatan..Oh, sorry, let's say I'm wrong..he's right, then Why he can't bench SF10 in live stream? Likely he cheated the bench scores?Meaning he manipulated the time (sec.), otherwise, he'd stream in live, right ?)BTW, it would be also great, for less error margin..if he'll do SF-PB benchmarkYou know, the more, the better, due to SF-PB bench is based on 5+ positions..And what a joke?) it's so clear what Mark's doing... he tried to fool, to criticize,Belittle me, scold me... and all this is just because he's been exposed clearly...Yes, his lies has been revealed, of course, and he's gone crazy, but as I said,The 'truth' is always bitter! So, as you can understand... Mark is rolled up his Sleeves before even seeing the river :) Moreover, he counted mine's chickensBefore they are hatched :) and now he seems to be a bit hopeless... reason?Mark can't validate his SF10 and SF-PB Bench LOL :) as I stated earlier here:SF10 bench he made is completely W-R-O-N-G again; Fritz GUI not allowed,Plus no any kN/s values to be visible, no analyses file etc. and etc. whereasWe used Arena GUI in 2023 and we shared all bench analyses very clearly!Btw, why I request benchmarks in LIVE stream? Due it's a source that I don'tTrust much..rather it would be a BIG surprise to expect anything reliable from Those ones who often look down on and trying to fool, to belittle many people..
And now what's happened ?) why can't Mark stream in live? even though I thought that He is experienced in live streaming/sharing...plus he loves teaching, giving lessons, but When it comes to himself...he couldn't pass the class, LOL, either he doesn't know how To use Arena GUI? or he sucks in streaming live online? or he doesn't have a similar fast Machine? Or ? Anyhow, let's hope that I'm wrong..but with each passing day, it becomes Clearer that Mark's screenshot is likely a joke (fake) and it doesn't reflect to our reality !!Yes..easy to fool the beginners, naive (as Deeds), but Mark probably forgot he's dealing With Sedat! Sure I'm not a superior, but I've enough experience to see who tries to fool.. 
Yes..this is our Mark :)  he finally fell into his own trap..he's so cornered now for sure :)So hard for him to escape...no matter what... (despite he's experienced since 1980s :))But rather he wanted 'this'..I didn't force him..and God is my witness; if you tarnish theEfforts of many people, the real power of dual processors etc. this is what was bound to Happen upon..actually there's one way out; Streaming in live SF10, SF-PB benchmark!But where is Mark's live streaming benchmark site? There's nothing in sight / horizon!!
It seems to me also that,Mark specifically chooses Openchess, because no EPYC experts, and no Mod there, Why? Not sure... maybe due nobody can interfere with him, plus easy place to fool ?Anyhow, let him share all these 'ridiculous' stories on trusted experts server forums...And then let's see what will be the experts reactions over Mark's funny comments ?)One should think a little. Should we all switch to single-processor, like him? no way :)
Let's not forget also that, no matter what; - Our steps should be always 'forward and towards the good' but for 'this',Instead of empty talk, we should focus on actions, proving with real facts!
And look again here what did I tell you? They won't stop, continuing with 'utter' nonsense!Mark keeps fooling people..who is this guy really? I'm calling out to Mark again from here:No need for empty talk, action matters! Prove in live stream. how high 7970X score is!Btw, don't forget also SF-PB Bench Prove to all of us that you're not cheating, if not,You will be no different from the biggest liar in the history of computer chess...just saying...BLA-BLA-BLA is enough...it is already time for 'actions' and 'reality' ! And just in case ofStream LIVE benchmarks..please let me know a few days before..you know, benchmarks Via live streaming will be great..since it encourages verifying, checking, not just blind trust!
If still not so clear:Lying is 'truly' an absolute evil! And a person who lies has 'serious' potential To lie about anything in life, and often does; and lying is the face of the devil. In other words, as fellow says; "Liar is not believed when he tells the truth." 
On the other hand,Is that so easy?) Mark didn't realize who he's dancing with...I'm saying this sincerely, I understand, someone else will come along..with excellent job..I'll have them in highRegard but not like what Mark is doing... here are TONS of useful lessons, anyhow;"Nature will take its course." 
In the meantime, I want to give this Mark some advice (at least for old times' sake): Don't bother, and don't waste your time with trying to fool as "these PCs are good" "These PCs are bad". You don't have the real facts to verify, and before you blame; - First 'LEARN' how to run 'properly' chess benchmarks, then come back and talk!
One more thing, and I can not leave 'this' as unexplained, the truth is the truth;Well, so far all these comparisons have generally been about PCs advantages, Performances etc. but now, let's get to whose  'openings' are better, stronger? And why opening detailer is so important? In short, I'd like to explain it like this; The quality starts with strong openings, corruption starts with weak openings!
And as far as I noticed, Mark doesn't have many produced eng games, therefore, he lost the chance to enterIn opening comparison...rather Mark failed again.. in terms of not sharing his games!Yet he constantly boasts about being in chess since 1980 :) That's fine...rather great,But I ask again; where are those games by Mark? There's nothing like that going on,Plus when it comes to empty talk, or giving advice, or constantly praising himself, Furthermore, how Mark praised his PC being the very best, nothing better than him..
Continuing... ;)
As for SPCC openings, In almost all my organized book tours, as usual, it's at the bottom of rankings.
About Deeds openings,No comments.. exception, it's a source, who prefers mainly 'terrible' openings.
But if we talk about SCCT (Perfect books, Balsa openings), It's the opposite, for decades in almost all book tours; it's at the Top: ResultsIf you need more data / source (as reference), don't hesitate to ask: Contact
Of course, CEDR, OLIPROG (P23), SSDF etc., Their openings are quality, strong too, and as a result, they often at the Top!Note: These statistics are not related to trend, i.e., or to deep book openings,It's about different, various, short openings...actually in deep, trend openings,SCCT's frequent Top book masters proved being 'World-Wide Best': Results
What I can add more?It's become a tradition to think,"Is that really true?" because there's as much Misinformation as you want.. so you have to be careful for information whoseSources or reasons for giving it haven't been confirmed, it might be accepted ,Embraced in our chess world, or conversely, it might be viewed with suspicion..However, as I stated; there's one true: stats say the last words, not papers !!(Meaning "stick a fork in it, it's done" any further discussion is superfluous)
Btw, is 'success' as 'lottery or easy'?I hardly doubt...at least no way in chess,Rather being among the 'best' players is never easy, but it's always worth it!
To summarize, especially about 'Openings' one thing is certain in the World: "SCCT and others." 
And meanwhile, a few more notes about Deeds (Botunnet),This maniac often loves to slander: Another lie by Sedat
But the good news is that, so far, Deeds could not find a0 (zero) lie...just imagine, he looks for a lie since 2022 ;)And undoubtedly, he will never find a lie, due to he choseThe wrong person... a very wrong person indeed !)
And unfortunately, these kind of cheap and small minded guys;They don't like sharing their games or eng analyses, and why?But they're usually as 'Number One' when it comes to hurting Betraying, fooling the innocent people... sad, but VERY true !
As other fact is that they're still talking about me, discussing me..And for many years...that's really flattering...an incredible feeling,To want more than that... would be just ungrateful...wouldn't it ?)
And as you may noticed or not,We deal with these kinds of arrogant, they look down on those around them, they act Superior, but this is a fact such people are not well-liked or respected in society, and They can't find a good place for themselves, and therefore, they try to fly so so high,As the whole world belongs to them..but look, they often crash badly to the ground :)I'm sure too they're loss their direction again for what to do now... but what is left ?)A hint: they didn't yet criticize my mouse, keyboard, monitor...but it's never too late :)Just wait...and see what other nonsense series they will spout out in the next days :)
And what a joke? :)Deeds has presented me being an EXP author :) that's a HUGE lie! There's no such Thing, I'm not author of any EXP file, I only shared a EXP in 2022, a bit learned over...Rather Deeds dreams a lot :) e.g just in case, and let's say also that, whoever shares Any learned CTG book, file etc. are the inventions of whoever shares them? LOL yes, Deeds actions are ultimately meaningless, illogical! Actually I can understand Deeds More or less, likely, his aim is to increase his EXP popularity, due there are not many EXP authors at sight... at least it seems to be so for today..but why not tomorrow ? ;)
Btw, here are other Deeds' BIG Lie Series what is it? this guy seems to be mental sick,He has lost his mind for sure...and as we see, he tries to fool again and again such as: Only Openchess is left...where Sedat Canbaz has been banned everywhere.. Haha :)Actually in our reality, it's quite the opposite;Deeds was banned in many places under diff. fake names, or declared an 'unwanted'!And these kind of sick members are usually active in Openchess..why? Because such 'Viruses' found in serious forums are immediately sent to the quarantine or destroyed..
Yes, this scoundrel has been banned from several forums and many times over years! Despite such humiliation, he gladly returned to the same place/s he was banned from :)Why? Because this maniac has no pride.. Finally (in 2026), he was declared: 'Persona Non Grata' LOL and now, Openchess seems to be his final destination, due no Mod :)
And as for me, sure exception on SedatChess site;In latest years, I was active mainly on Openchess, but in past, I've been active alsoOn many other online platforms for almost 3 decades..stats available..just google it..In short, whether Talkchess, CSS, Hiarcs, Chess Gladiators or in the closed ones; Chess2u, Goi, RybkaChess, Winboard etc forums, I never faced a ban anywhere, Except in one place; Outskirts, and frankly I still don't know exactly why...but likely Due to I did not accept their 'link' rules, but 'banning' for not accepting ?) However, This is also true that almost all of important members were either banned or left that Outskirts...actually, I was the first who left too...their ban came later..Btw, I really gotBored with explaining over..but this is as last..it is enough...every now and then, forAlmost 4 years..this maniac (Deeds) often keeps doing nonsense comments...but inSame time what happened as result? so clear how pathetic this con artist became !)
And about why Openchess forum in my chess site (in SedatChess links) ? 1st of all,I admit that Openchess admin has serious flaws; for creating a forum without mods...That's why it's no different than ship without a captain..However, I fought these kindsOf viruses many times over the years but I don't intend to be close with them forever!For example, I'm very far away from these type viruses right now and how lucky I'm..By the way, in such forums (as without any moderators), it's very easy to recognize:Who is the lion... who is the tiny cat... Or who is the wolf... who is the sheep...Or who is the eagle... who is the sparrow... Or who is good..who is bad, right?Anyhow, why Openchess remained in links? Due the admin wasn't in side of evil..Besides, the admin didn't apply double standards over me..but I hardly doubt thatThese sparrow-like tiny brains (as Deeds) will ever understand what I mean here!Note: Deeds = Botunnet (in other words, just another fake account of his series)
And as we expected,Deeds is STILL trolling: Deeds's work is one of worst! / I never tested Depth4 exp..In short, once again this manic (Deeds)  is clearly proven how pathetic he's :)Yes, he can play with my words as much as he wants as copy, cut and paste...But he can never change the 'truth'! And the more he moves, the more he sinksInto his stinking cesspool...it's a pity for him, really :) and he's clearly revealed His lack of intelligence again....as we see, he's made it 100% obvious to us :)Yes... I am saying it again and I stand by everything I said;  I haven't tested His EXP, but I find Deeds' work to be so bad, wrong, poor, horrible etc.I believe also that his pricing policy is absurd, and what a greedy, right? e.gWhat does '89 euros' mean? It's a HUGE price for unknown file...because I had the chance to check/test Depth4 openings... mostly are terrible lines!Also with the fake names of Deeds' how works; just to insult, belittle others,All of this cheap work..couldn't believe it... I can't even call him an 'amateur'
Once more, what can be said about all of Deeds' work? Worst of the worst!Btw, if you are going to ask also; Why Deeds works and acts so so bad? DueTo his brain works up to 1%, yeah, likely there can not be any other reason :)
And what a shame; Theirs bad actions are countless, blamed also my Dual EPYC has overheating issues :)As we see, these trolls are unstoppable, with small mind and full of madness..rather 1st.They should verify their PCs are okay...then they may come out and face me like men!
And to be honest,What's this unprecedented nonsense? Are they 'Baba Vanga' or 'Nostradamus'? LOL :)On other hand, I was actually expecting from...but I didn't expect them to stoop so low ! 
Btw, (for anyone missed) some notes about my hardware details: Temps, BenchmarksCPU temps on idle; 25-28 °C degrees / While on load av. 55-60 °C degrees: DetailsIn same time that means these values are considered excellent and very safe for sure!But according to both charlatans (Mark and Deeds), Sedat's computer is overheating :)May God give some sense to these 'brainless' types...but keep them far away from me.
As last words,If God wanted the charlatans to fool people, He wouldn't have created me upon them.

Best,Sedat
