Hello  Chess Friends,


As usually, I am pleased to announce that,

Another new Championship, based on GMs books!


Well, some quick notes about the current interesting competition,

I've managed to create many new books, which are in BIN format..

And this time, all are played by 3700+ NNUE engine (Raubfish SC)


For a better performance, all books are optimized / tuned to prefer:

GMs players openings mainly since the period between 2010 -.2022

Target (for each book): to be based on min 1500+ games (per player)

As games used the high-rated GMs players...e.g av. 2600-2800+ Elo 

Btw, for creation: Blitz games are removed, Rapid+Slow TC are used

What I can say more, as usual:

I've done my best about any book to be close to GMs opening styles!


Note also that,

As far as possible I picked as books, mainly FIDE high-rated players

Plus former Champs: Gelfand, Goryachkina, Kasimzdahanonov, Kasparov


 B/N CS XI's Champion: Hao-Wang - My Congratulations to Hao Wang!

 Congrats to Kramnik (performed as 2nd rank) plus to Ding (as 3rd rank)

 Note: Kramnik and Ding are managed as Champions before (in older tourneys)

More Details• All GMs books are played by same NNUE chess engine: Raubfish X48c3 SC

    • Main target: Testing GMs played openings (min 1500-2000 games per player)

    • Each book is BIN format, tested with settings: Best Move: Disabled,  Depth 35

    • The current overall draw percentage (based on 8860 games) is little high: 88%

      But e.g with other Top NNUE engine is expecting close to 97% - 98% (draws)
