Breaking News - 11.03.2025: The ongoing competition is ended, many thanks and congrats to all players! About latest update, as you may see too, I realized to create and test more.. And no BIG surprise that all current 'pocket fighters' are performed not bad ! Some notes about my non-hand tuned deep lines: SCCT 23-24 is based on Top eng games, played by Balsa, Unique openings during 2023-2024 years, Where SCCT 22-24w = Balsa and Unique too, but on only 2022-2024's wins Note also I picked games, played in Book Tours..I mean not Eng Tours wins, Otherwise, TONS of wins will be... then very likely will pass size rule (3 MB), CEDR is also non-hand tuned...which is based on CEDR's strong openings! Yes..mentioned above non hand-tuned books can be used as good indicator  About which well hand tuned..I mean here for TREND lines..before this tour! To be more clear, in this tourney: non of my created ones are hand tuned etc. Btw, what we noticed also here, via organizing current Online Like Book CS? Many of the Online players strength are not so correct...exc. 'cherry picking' Plus as other influence, processor speed diff. have BIG impact over strength.. In short: a complete mess issue about to see the strongest Online players..! Actually there is always solution...but for this, similar serious tours required.. Otherwise..e.g without running this CS...we would not know about all, right?. Yes under SCCT cond. is harder but much clear...usually 'best' ones on Top: DON, Esculapio, HCAN, Skynet, Btw, OrgZ's points are impressive as well ) Even 2023's oldies: Everest, Unicornio, Red-Dragon Der..are still great too! On other hand, IA-Horus with best points on Lichess but here far way to be! Sure as same words going for Spiritofthenewyear, caissa-ai, LeelaMultiPoss.. Or other strange Online stats, some produced even close to 10-15% draws But all experienced testers are aware that under serious and more fair cond.  The draws are much higher e.g via less drawish engine (Raubfish SC) 88%, Or playing under optimal cond. (MP, Ponder ON, slower TC ) is almost 99% Sure I refer for overall draws but with individuals, these draw stats may vary, But no much ways to see less than 70% exc. via weak engines / openings! At least for nowadays it seems to be so..maybe in future, we will see better  Engines, where may appear less draw ratio..  but till to this date I think that We have to work harder and smarter!..sure this is other question, anyhow I'm pretty sure also that many of Online players think such as they are best.. But for this, I'm announcing again: Prove it! Don't be afraid, Come and Win ) Here is much more fair, a friendly place, full of fun, via many strong players.. As reference, almost all Top 20's ranks... belong to frequent SCCT authors! And someones may say also as: my book is doing better as MP + Blitz etc. Good.. but just in that case...any fools' book will do better... ) And moreover, It's almost impossible to see wins, but before NNUE my tours were MP, Blitz But in latest years, most tours played: 1 Core, Bullet and as usual I say over: What is the point of using BIG umbrella, when no MUCH rain on the horizon! And as final words, the ones, who cheats can't fool anyone but themselves! Thank you for taking time to read, for showing interest, enjoy every moment!      Meanwhile, for older postings about current championship on: OpenChess
