Hello Chess Friends,
On this news page, You can read my postings for Book / NNUE CS XVII
05.10.2023:1st of all, OPTIMUS's performance is stable as stone, leading via 3635 EloHamish 5, LesChats 041023 are entered and here are played results...Btw,The latest LesChats 041023 is not same as previous LesChat 130923 versE.g in latest LesChats: White's main move d4 and as Black c5 are disabled,Where in LesChat 130923 the mentioned main moves are enabled for play...So it seems one of these factors played some worse role over performances...E.g in my guess, if re-run LesChats130923, I expect close to 3627 Elo again..On other hand, the new Hamish 5 performed slightly better than Hamish 4.1And just out of curiosity, Feta X book plus new RofChade 3.1 are played tooNote also that the current tour is paused too...actually there are more books,Which I could test.. but mostly of them are old-dated...so no BIG chances...Be aware also that there is a possibility this tour to be ended in next days..
04.10.2023:Another new update for today, where 8 books are entered..and for right nowDON Hercules managed to be current Private Champion...just unbelievable!In other words, another micro star is born, but belongs to the brightest ones!Note also 2 new books are currently under test: Hamish 5, LesChats 041023And please stay tuned..after several hours, there will be new updates as well
04.10.2023:OPTIMUS...OPTIMUS...OPTIMUS..is the first Champion..impressive indeed!Same words are going for Pimienta book, where managed to be Champ too! LesChats book is 2nd, but serious candidate to be as next Champion as wellDON Hercules's score is slightly below..actually nothing strange (for 500 KB),E.g DON is frequently early out of book...just one example vs FireOnBin, BtwFor better performance: DON Hercules needs much more openings for sure!Note also that in next days, I hope to test more books ..so please stay tuned!
03.10.2023:1st of all, I named it as Extreme League, because here new entries are mainly Top opening books of CS XVI and all of them are played by BrainFish 240720Vs various in strength players of av. 3600 (plus including NNUE engines too)Yes...this book competition is not so easy as it looks.. to be one of Top ranks!As we see, so far OPTIMUS 4 book's performance is best..that means a lot!!LesChats, CachoSCCT, DON Hercules, Everest etc are doing not bad as wellBtw, Cerebellum X is a new based book and tuned to prefer various Cerebelum vers.More info/updates very soon... and please stay tuned...)
