Breaking News - 25.02.2024:The current competition is ended...many thanks and congratulations to all!No doubt that most productive Book Championship ever! exc that I created,Tested and shared all them, as additional, I'd like to say as good news manyPlayers gained same, identical points, very interesting, never seen before!For examples, 2nd rank belongs to two book players, 3rd rank again two..!As we see here, only OPTIMUS is clear a Winner of Eng Book Standings!About Human standings, here again we see identical in points, e.g 3 (three)Players are managed to be Champions: Ding, Dominguez, Karjakin, nice!Btw, without to not mention this I can not as well, sometimes..X Author mayNot be so active in book tuning...and that sounds perfectly fine to Me...butJust in case to be not Number One.. it does not mean that he/she can notCreate Champions books..I think, it all depends on our free time, health etc.Sure I refer about current books by A. Morano plus for H. Can, C. Sarı etc.But I admit that R. Constantinesco's books are at high level of quality too!Sure I respect anyone's view, but I suggest to check Champions RankingsIn short, it can be used as very good indicator about who is best of the best..Be aware of that soon I hope to organize another new book championship,Where I plan to test Private books as well..right now I'm not sure exactly, but I may use one of the strongest NNUE engines, rather it will be more close to Online Game Play...at least it will be under BULLET, MP, PONDER ON etc.!And what will be as difference than Online, sure it will be with less players....But what is as advantage, I mean much better than Online:All planning books will be on same fast hardware (2x EPYC 128 Cores/256T),As you know,..many online players suffer / gain due to hardware speed diff.Besides here... all books will be played as NON - Cherry Picking System !You know, nowadays...it a TREND )) full of these kind of postings out there ) But via SCCT. I think will be as solution, in short, BEST ones will be ranked At higher ranks...right? Ok..chess friends that's all for now ...see you soon )Meanwhile, for more info about current contest / books: OpenChess / Books
