09.12.2024:OPTIMUS defended successfully his public Champ title too (against Broth)!And almost same situation...as we see again 2+ Elo (in favor for OPTIMUS)But however there is one true: all current played Top books are as BEAST!!Btw, not mentioning Messi, I can not, sorry ) well, I don't know exactly but in Mr Angel's books, there is something like a magnet, even for short time but At the end.. managed to become Champion!) reality is reality..and not once! In other words, Messi was able to score one of his golden goal series again) And why I needed to mention? due AdrianOliva v3 is already old-dated, but..Note also current classic championship will be ended very soon probably on:10.12.2024 sure if interest.. you're free to submit even 2 (two) new Books orExp, and just in case...please don't be too late...thanks in advance )
08.12.2024:Via current update, DON is defended his Champion title against ChessCraft!Yes, there was unforgettable battle (between both titans) to be on 1st place!And after 1504 games (per player), DON managed to perform 2+ Elo better!As far as I noticed, the both Top books Elo points were same vs mainly trendOnes, but later, ChessCraft is lost some points (via playing vs lower-rated...) But anyhow, I'm impressed a lot by both authors work! because they provedAgain to all of us that they are very very dangerous players!! about the other Latest new entry: Broth 071224 (by Mr. Hurnavich) great performance really, And what I said before? Hurnavich is Hurnavich! another BIG talent for sure!And as we see, again same points..on same level as OPTIMUS..that means Also soon as possible both will be played min 1500+ games too..Good Luck )Frankly I loved current CS much..plus not boring, I assume for your side too?Btw, I've good news too: Broth 071224 is already publicly available Download
08.12.2024:Here is another new BIG update..and many strong opening books are entered!!And what's going on?) not sure how to explain, but let Me give a start firstly as:We've a new Public Champion OPTIMUS just fantastic..that's too much really !)Where the other great one ChessCraft (by Hamdullah Can) is performed exactlyOn same level as DON.. just incredible..same points not so often happens..andVery soon the both Top books will be played min. 1500 games (per player) and Why so many games needed? sure for less error margin...the more, the better! And in this way, we will have more serious data about which one will be next asPrivate Champion! And a few words about rest new book entries, they are mainly by Hurnavich, which performed not bad as well..be aware too: a newer Broth verWill be played soon as possible..and who knows? while we talk..maybe Broth willManage to be next Champ? Because no doubt that he is another Top author too!Note also that due to so many participants (as you may see) all latest entries arePlayed mainly vs Top (higher-rated) books, in same time means, sure in case ofEntries... all of them are planning to be played mainly vs higher rated ones too!
07.12.2024: Ladies and Gentlemen, today is a special day and my pleasure to announce: 1st Private Book Champion: DON! Where 1st Public Champ: AdrianOliva v3 And all theirs best, great achievements over years as surprise? not of course.. Because all these unbelievable records (especially if often) not accident, right? On other hand, Via current update, only 3 books are entered where unfortunately they gained Not much points, but if not today, why not tomorrow? All in our hands...actually These tours are mainly for fun here I mean not World Championship, moreover, We have to be satisfied..right? since these books are all for free...By the way, So far only Mr Hamdullah is requested his played books games...We will see.. But frankly I expect a great record...You may know, this man never plays for 2nd place as well (as Me, sure when I was so active in deep openings in past) Plus Mr. Vasid too, and I almost forgot Mr. Angel, Mr. Roger too plus as same Words are going for many other Top Authors as well... One thing more, since I mentioned these BIG names..Did you ever see them to criticize others work? To be honest, I can not remember...and why?I think they work harder + smarter..to be better! As other reason, these talented authors have no much free time to look others.. In other words, the 'true' Champions never look for excuses..if still not so clear. The cat calls the liver 'dirty' when she can't 'reach' it Ok dear chess friends That's all for now... and please stay tuned...very soon more entries may come..
06.12.2024: Via this update (for today) 4 strong ones entered and here are latest standings: Impressive points come not only by DON, AdrianOlivia, Solidor, Broth etc. but Spectral_1.0 (despite on its new tiny learning exp file) is gained close to 50 Elo Better than No Book (Cfish..) e.g normally via Balsa..both are close in strength.. Here just imagine e.g for moment: Spectral_1.0's Exp size is about 1 (one) MB And as a small point more, here the opponents are not so weak..in other words, No doubt that so far best learning record ever seen is belonging to Spectral_1.0 And to be more clear, here I refer about tiny exp files,which started from scratch.. To be sure, you can check also the other learning engines: Eman, Brainlearn etc. What I told before? Anton is Anton, not via papers but via facts, sure I admit too Exp files are strong but not on same level as the strongest books..at least so far The latest new results indicate this...but you know, there is nothing impossible!! But till to this date, what I say? just because it's very hard...it does not mean to Give up..try again..and sooner or later, you will unlock the door to your success! And as friendly advice: do it now..because sometimes 'later' becomes 'NEVER'
06.12.2024 Another new CS is started...where as players are Books plus Exp files as well.. As main difference, this time tour conditions are at Classic mode (NON-NNUE) Besides, all recent played Top EXP files are participating as Learning disabled.. And if going to ask: why I preferred these cond.? sure for more fair and for fun! Otherwise, boring if always same kind of tours..plus target to reduce draw-ratio, E.g you may notice or not, in previous BEN, overall draws were very high: 97% Yes with similar high draw stats..still 'chess' but rather it seems beyond normal! But under current Classic cond. there are more wins..in same time means fun ) Meanwhile (in 12-13 hours) I managed to test 44 players/860 games, not bad record !
B/E/C I's Current Leader DON 051224- My Congratulations to Vasid Chouhan! And so far, actually from past to present: DON series are with amazing performance!! On other hand, AdrianOliva even can be considered old-dated..still among best ones! Btw, so far Spectral_041224 is the best exp..e.g the same one played as well Results
