Latest Update: 14.10.2022

Hello Chess Friends,


As usually, I am very pleased to announce that,

I managed to organize another new championship...


1st of all,

A new idea is born: testing Online players opening books!


To be more clear,

I've created derivative books, which are based on FICS,

Infinitychess, Playchess games (played mainly in 2022)

In short, my created books are tuned to prefer theirs played

Openings e.g as main move the wins and as alternative the

Draws are enabled (for playing) too and I have to admit that

Almost all are based mainly on 3700+ NNUE drawn games..

Sure I am referring about Infinitychess + Playchess servers

About FICS server, the played engines games are unknown..


Note also that

As far as possible, I picked minimum 1500 games (per player),

All are in CTG and all of them are small size (minus plus 1 MB)


Online Champion: Ganryu - My Congratulations to Ganryu (Playchess User)!

What I can say more,Now for all same cond.. no speed or engine advantages etc.Btw, via Online (Playchess server):Top players draw ratio 99%Here, the overall draw - ratio is less...the main reason I use Less Drawish NNUE engine, no any other explanation for that..
On other hand..We have stronger NN engines, about 25 Elo (in Blitz): ResultsAnyhow I think that for 25 Elo improvement to see 99% draws,Simply will be just waste of time and too boring games for sureAnd due to others high-draw ratio...I prefer Raubfish, becauseThe FUN should be as most important part in our hobby, right?
As Final Note,Very soon I hope to run another tour, which will be based onPublic books (via Cfish 030820 C40) and please stay tuned!

Best,Sedat
