Dear Chess Friends,
As usual, I am pleased to announce thatAnother new series of many competitions!Btw, for previous similar tours: BNIII / XLVIII
Some Notes,The main target is to see the influences in case of variousConditions...sure all played on same hardware speed, butThe main difference is that, mostly tours are played by manyIn strength chess engines, and as alternative via NNUE tooPlus some tourneys are played as Ponder ON and OFF etc.Now you'll have chances to compare the draw ratio as well!
Meanwhile, Why I used to play weaker engine such as 2800, 3200 EloIn short, since NNUE appeared... we noticed many testings...Where the Top engines are forced with unusual weak openings...And now just opposite: testing strong books by weaker engines !)As we see, e.g via 2800 Elo: overall draw ratio is reduced much...
What I can say more,It's clear that some books are very stable (in performances...)!E.g GuzelKiz, Eman, Cacho, Hubble etc. books are one of them!Where some slightly suffer...(sure in case of various conditions)Anyhow, I am impressed with all of the current participated booksBecause all of them are quite strong...no doubt as real masters!
And here are the Overall Rankings (All tours in One):
