Tournament Details

• Next new entrants will be played vs Top ranked books (min 300 games)
• Any Book Leader (after.300 games per player) will be titled Champion
Plus (for better rankings): Champ books will be played min 800 games
• As usual, all books are playing by same engine: Brainfish 151019 C40
For each book player is installed a separate copy of Brainfish engine exe
And why I used to play especially this vers. of Brainfish with cont. 40 ?
Simply because, according to my testings: it's a quite strong engine!
Plus, produces approx. 10% lower draw percentage than many other SF...
• Polyglot (bin) books will be played with best book move as disabled...
• In Gauntlet testings, for each GUI installed a separate copy of same ctg
The reason, simply because to be not affected the ''Book Learning ON'

More Details
The idea of running such kind of book tourney is born in XXXX Pro
Suggested by several book authors...So it's my pleasure to organize it...
And this time let's see,
Which are the best / strongest small private opening books in strength ?!
As stated earlier (for more fair conditions), I believe the best way to run:
Private vs Private or Available vs Available, but however my goal is that,
The Available books to be not included in the current XLI Light tour, e.g
Due to Available books have no much BIG chances to be as Champion
Because, Private entries probably will be well-tuned vs Available books
Plus, in case of playing the Available ones in XLI tourney, that means:
Last/later entered Private books can gain more points vs Available ones
So these factors can be a clear advantage for next Private entries, otherwise:
All books (Private+Available) should be created in very close date of time...
For these reasons,
XLI Light's target will be to be played only Private vs Private books!
Thanks for your understanding...and as usual for your interest...!
I wish you all the best of luck,
Sedat Canbaz

Some Notes:
• The size of all opening book formats in MB (in uncompressed)
• Some books tuned to prefer Top players openings (Playchess etc)
Picked online players: mainly with min 1500 games (per player)
Just one example: YNot tiny book contains more than 4500 games
The defeats are removed...(e.g during based book optimizations...)
In short, as main move the wins plus draws are enabled for playing
Source of decent database 2020: Special thanks to Mr. Cevdet Sarı
• As graphical chess interfaces used: Fritz 12, Fritz 13, Fritz 14 GUIs
That means, a few separate Chessbase GUIs are played (in same time)
I don't prefer newer ChessBase ones, such as Fritz 15, Fritz 16 GUIs...
Due to 'Book Learning' does not work in Gauntlet, Round-Robin mode
