Hello Chess Friends,

     On this news page,     You can read my all postings regarding for: B/N CS XIII

    28.04.2023:Another update, where this time only Chucaro 4 Upd book is participatedNote: current Chucaro is same vers. which managed to be Champ: BN XIn other words, I was wondering what will be its performance and not bad!Btw, a few notes regarding the rule 3 books (per month) by same author:As bonus: only frequent authors can submit up to 3 new opening books!To be more clear, the 1st tested BNX's opening books are not counting..E.g Mr. Ian Hurnavich has right/choice to submit two more new books...Or as other example, Mr Alex (Skynet) can submit one more new book..Also Mr Angel Morano has right to submit one more new opening bookThat's all for now...for more detailed info, please feel free to contact me
    25.04.2023:Via current update plus playing more games, Top standings are changed!In short, exc. both new entries (SkynetSCCT and OlisFish), I realized thatCachoSCCT and Hamish 4.1 to be played vs more book players and afterNew calculations: Mr. Angel's book managed to take the lead..impressive!Same words are going for many other books as well, what I can say more,Mr. Alex's both books are as current 1st Public Champions...unbelievable!Really I can't remember two Public ones (by same author) to be Champs!Meanwhile, actually the released name of SkynetSCCT 10.1= SCCT 10.1But renamed..the reason: SCCT books are based on Balsa, Perfect seriesNote also (according to Skynet / Alex) his SCCT 10.1 book include gamesPayed in SCCT tournaments, where OlisFish book based on Oliprog tours!And for anyone interested: Skynet's books are available at Outskirts forum
    20.04.2023:Via latest update, the standings are almost same as before, exceptionFor right now Hamish 4.1 managed to be as one of the Number Ones!Yes...Mr. Ian's book is with remarkable performance so far...actually no BIG surprise, because he proved to be one of best in our book making!What I can say more, the tourney has currently as two Leading players!Note also that (for determining...), I ran extra tie-break match betweenCachoSCCT vs Hamish 4.1, and after 150 games, the score ended inFavor for Hamish (+1 point better) but via Bayeselo, theirs points same..In other words, for now both Top players will remain as two Champions!
    19.04.2023:Welcome everyone and we have a new Champion: CachoSCCT book!And as I stated before (in almost every competition), Mr Angel's seriesAre managing to be Number One, yes... one of greatest book masters!A few quick notes more, according to A. Morano (Biyuya), CachoSCCT Based on SCCT tournaments, developed with Raubfish X48c3 engineNote also that the other new opening book entry (Anti-Top) is my work And it's based on only BN X games, but on the high-rated Players lost Games and to be more clear on only wins, but played mainly by many Various lower rated books..anyhow, just for fun..no more no less ) andI think that its Performance+DrawRatio is not bad, because Anti-Top isSmallest one in size just 147 KB and I created it in less than 10 minutesPlus Anti-Top played by a weaker engine (Blue Marlin)..reality is reality..Ok... Dear Chess Friends, I hope to see new books in the next days )
    18.04.2023:Via latest update: 3 books are entered and both of them are created by me,For example, simply I am meaning about both 3753-55 and XI 3740+ bookTo be more clear, 3753-55 played by Raubfish X48c3 SC, where XI 3744+Played by Blue Marlin 14.4 and what I can say more, as expected 3753-55Managed to be performed as one of highest ranks...I mean no BIG surpriseWhy I say like this? if not clear: this book is based on very strong Top books,Proved in BN X (I mean for CachoUPD2, Dottie-Maloti, OlisFish, SF-SE, Zaytsev)But on other hand, actually the shocking news, surprise comes by XI 3744+And once more, XI 3744+ is tuned to prefer Top 4 books openings of BN XIYes..for Human based openings plus weaker engine this is too much really...For more details about my created based books you can read at: OutskirtsAnd M13.7 book played via Raubfish X48c3 SC (like mostly other entries...)Note that M13.7 released by Mr. Cevdet so named as it is. anyhow, franklyI expected better points...however just a fun tournament and it's all right !)Ok...that's all for now and I wish to say many thanks for your interest...
    17.04.2023:Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time to pronounce tour's 1st Champion:Bloom Bloom Bloom, really amazing.. with best performance so far!Pimienta is just 1 point behind..one of serious Champ's candidates!Sure Barnabas, HCan..are another candidate, no any idea what will Be next ranks...but no doubt that all of them are very DANGEROUS!Btw, via latest update, two strong books are entered: Goi, MANTIS!Plus the same words are going for many other strong entries as wellNote: Blue Marlin, Crystal, Stockfish, Swordfish played via Polyglot Adapter, you may know, otherwise they are not capable to use BIN...And wishing you all the best of luck )
    16.04.2023:     And finely, I've managed to publish the latest played tournament results     A surprise, HCan Upd is not as a Leading book, actually it's quite normal..     No one can stay on Top forever! and yes...Bloom 0.4 is with outstanding      Performance so far! and Skynet's book produced 90% draws. just great!      Sure in the next rounds, everything can happen e.g Barnabas, Pimienta,      HCan, Lion...can be as Champs too it all depends on the next opponents...
    16.04.2023:Well, here are my latest created 10 opening books,Which will be played by different 3700+ NN engines!
To be more clear (about my created books), they areTuned to prefer many strong players openings of BN XAnd I gave them short names: theirs gained Elo points 
And from any book name is perfectly clear, right ?  e.g3752 book is based on players, which ranked 3752 Elo Sure I am referring about the played openings in BN X
During my book creations,I picked theirs wins plus the draws as well, exception3741-44 opening book, which is based on only wins...
Note also that,I did not touch the ones, which performed with better points,As one of reasons, my target is not to be Champ anymore !)
On other hand, actually my current goal is simply that,Via book creations: to stress the latest new entry books!Plus as opponents as you see, many great books in one )Plus in this way, we can see more various openings...And I hope you like my new idea ?)
Btw, If still not so clear / for anyone missed,The below books are tuned to prefer various players openings of BN XE.g 3752 book is based on 4 Players, which ranked at 3752 Elo points     As another, but last example, 3751 book is based on 3751 Elo Players... 
3752 book will be played by Raubfisch X48c3 SC

 Have fun, Sedat
    16.04.2023:Another new tournament is started...where this time my created booksWill be played by many 3700+ but very close in strength NNUE engines!However, as main engine:the new entry books are planning to be played(As usual) by Raubfisch X48c3 SC, as 1st reason due to less DRAWİSH...E.g playing itself, Raubfisch produced close to 88% draws, where otherTested engines (playing itself) produced minus plus 10% more...(98%)And these stats values are via Balsa openings (mainly up to 8 moves), But if via Drawish engine... plus deep strong openings: very likely 99%As second reason about why Raubfish will be as main engine is thatE.g in the recent BN XII and in BN V the test conditions were not so fair,Now just opposite)...My created books will be played by weaker engines!E.g I ran new strength eng testings, where I picked the ones, which areSightly weaker (e.g minus plus 5 Elo -10 Elo) than Raubfish X48c3 SC And as far as possible, I picked the ones which are less Drawish as wellSure, theirs overall draws are not so low, but sometimes it's worth to try..Be aware of that too, theirs default Evalfiles are different to each other...That means also, we'll have possibility to see various playing eng styles!
    And here are the latest strength results, actually I tested many more, but    I preferred 10 engines, which are best / suitable for these test conditions:
  Rank Name              Elo   +   - games score oppo. draws   1 Raubfisch X48c3 SC  3731   2   2  6924   51%  3724   93%   2 Swordfish 14.4      3730   4   4  1738   51%  3726   93%   3 Stockfish 120921    3727   4   4  1370   49%  3731   95%   4 SF-MZ 051222        3727   4   4  1678   50%  3729   95%   5 KomodoDragon 3.2    3726   3   3  2922   50%  3726   93%   6 BrainLearn 15       3725   5   5  1000   50%  3726   93%   7 CFishNN 240223      3724   3   3  2144   50%  3726   93%   8 Crystal 4.1         3721   4   4  1694   50%  3721   94%   9 Redfish 300322      3720   4   4  1464   49%  3726   93%  10 Blue Marlin 14.4    3720   3   3  2744   49%  3727   91%

 Meanwhile (for anyone missed, interested): The opening books will use to play by the above NN engines. But all new entries will be played only by Raubfish X48c3 SC, Where my created books will be played mainly via rest engines..
     Ok... more information very soon and please stay tuned...)


Best,Sedat
