Hello Chess Friends,
On this news page, You can read my postings for B/N CS XVIII
18.10.2023:Via latest new update: 7 (seven) books are entered and as you may see too,Some performed very good e.g one of them are Hamish 5, Hcan Upd, Lion XBtw, for anyone missed: Lion X book is tuned to prefer Lion 110423's openingsAnd as I expected the both Lion book versions are gained identical Elo points Note also that I started a new Blitz tour with the current Top 10 (ten) players Let's see what will be the next rankings with these monsters..good luck to all!
17.10.2023:8 books entered and latest public plus free LesChats managed to be Champ!Very rarely happens to see 2 public Champions (same points as HCanFree..)And seems LesChats 161023's performance is much improved than older..Btw,LesChat means Intelligence, Great Lover, Strong, so fully deserves this name!DON Hercules 3 book leads as before...a BIG Titan for sure! Where 2nd rankBelongs to two other SUPER strong players: Everest and ORIONPAX books!According to Mr. Angel, his latest book (CachoSCCT opt) is slightly optimized..But however, no doubt that CachoSCCT opt is still one of the best books out!Same words going for Mr. Hurnavich's Red Dragon, he is real master as well!Sure Mr. Cevdet plus many other authors books are performing very good too..One thing more, I created a new Lion X, tuned to prefer Lion 110423's linesReason of creating...to see the influences...but I expect close performance...Because especially (as Whites) in C65...needs other stronger opening lines!Note also that Predator 2.3 (vs 8 constant books) is performed 3750+ but vs Trend ones unfortunately scored 3749...anyhow not bad for old dated book! Ok...let's see what will be the new results in the next minutes, hours, days.!)
16.10.2023:Well, here is another update...and it's time to announce that DON Hercules 3Managed to be as 1st Champion, HCan Free Upd as well..really great score!Btw, what is going on...? HCanFree Upd is already old-dated..but still gains...Actually no BIG surprise...because here the best books will gain more points!Plus it does not matter much the size too e.g DON Hercules 3 is just 770 KB!On other hand, the other private ones: ORIONPAX CachoSCCT, Everest etc.Are performed incredibly very strong as well...we will see.. after more games...Or via new players...the current ranks may changed...after all, time will tell..)
16.10.2023:A BIG update, many players are entered...and as usual the leading books areDON, Everest, CachoSCCT, HCanFree..Btw, who said that Lion is weak one?Lion is Lion...one of strongest out there...just suffers in some trend openings!But quite normal, as we know, usually newer...perform better than older ones!And frankly I like this tour much.. e.g via current system way, authors may seeTheirs weakness..in same time means: in the next releases they may improve..Note also that so far, all book entries played only vs 8 (eight) constant books...And once more (for anyone missed) current ranking indicates about book players,Which are better / worse in overall openings...so here says as last word, whichAre well-tuned/optimized..just via importing games: it's a lottery to be on Top!Ok..chess friends, that's all for now...more details, book updates very soon.. )Btw, new update: LIVE ranking (with current 3750+ players): Openchess/ GoiJust for comparing..a clean standing, which played vs many various openings...
BN XVIII Current Leader: DON Hercules - Congratulations to Vasid Chouhan!

15.10.2023:Just another series of book championship started..this time, the target willBe to check the books strength in overall openings..you may know, someAre doing good in trend..some opposite...what about in overall openings? And to call as very strong book, it should be well-optimized in all openings!Let's say in Alekhine, Caro-Kann, French...only English, Sicilian, Spanish..Is not enough, right ?) Btw, now I shared a ranking only with ones, whichPrefer various openings...e.g they are based on older SCCT book tours..Just a example, CS BN 15 is tuned to prefer only the constant 3 books...To be more clear, I did not touch the other books, which are participated...Other example, CS 52 tuned to prefer FCP, FGRL, CCRL, CEGT, SPCC..So no BIG surprise that for the moment CS 52 opening book is last rank..Note also that all next entries will be played firstly vs current participants,Sure later..I plan to test all the high-rated books e.g each other as well !Ok..very soon many more opening books are coming...sure and as usualNew books registrations acceptable...thanks in advance and good luck!!
