Hello Chess Friends,
As usually, I'm very pleased to announce also that,I managed to organize another new championship!And what's new: each book contains 5600 games !!In other words, I think that they deserve more...butThat's what I can do my best.. at least for nowadays!
Some notes about the current played Top book participants:    The Winners of SIZE tours: Small / Medium / Large / GiantI know too that it is not so much fair...but anyhow, I think that It's not so bad idea to be in fight each other, right ?) if nothingElse mainly for fun..what I can add more, a lot of things but noFree time for all, exc. Messi's old dated one (by Mr. Angel) proves Again to all of us as to be the strongest under these conditions!!Sure I'm impressed a lot by rest Top books too, for examples:Super strong performance by SENTINEL 2409 despite its very Small in size, plus its produced DrawRatio is lowest, just: 89%Geralt is the only Public one, plus small + old dated...so nothingStrange...that ranked at last place...but in 7th tour (via Cfish..):Geralt is Geralt..where managed to be 3rd place...really good!
As other very important issue is that,I realized to run many separate tours, played by various engines!And via this testing method..now is much clear the influences e.gError margin and this is not all, we can compare Eng/Books Draw    Records as well...for more notes I suggest to read More Details
    XXXVI's GRAND Champion: Chucaro - Congrats to Angel Morano!!    Sure my Congratulations to all rest Former Champions Authors too!
