Tournament Details:

• All opening books are playing by same engine: CF EXT 291120 C40

• For each book participant is installed a separate copy of chess engine

• On 2x E5-2686 machine are installed and used only chess programs

Plus no internet connection (to prevent against any kind of threats)

Tournament PC is daily restarted, speed benchmark in every 2-3 days

And it seems, all is quite stable, as we see.. no any time forfeits etc.

• The ongoing competition is planning to be active for several months

• I plan to test a lot of opening books, from the past to the present!

Sure, the main target is that, to be played the decent opening books

• Rather than tour, it will be a rating (with min 300 games per player)

Actually, many players are expecting to consist over than 500 games

• Any Leader (after 500 games per player) will be titled as Champion

• Chessbase (ctg) main book settings: Learning ON, Optimized, 0/100

Exception, other settings can be used by Author's recommendations

Btw, please take a screenshot (in case of request other than 0/100)

• Polyglot (bin) books will be tested by Authors suggested settings too

• As graphical chess interfaces used: Fritz 12, Fritz 13, Fritz 14 GUIs

That means parallel matches (a few separate Fritz GUIs are played)

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

• Why I preferred as NON-NNUE, TC 3 Min and 4 Core/Game is that,

- The main reason is simply to reduce the overall draw percentage..

Otherwise it is expecting the draw percentage to be close 97-98%
