Breaking News - 16.04.2026Well, current interesting CS is over...BIG thanks and congrats to all book makers..Via this update, only 2 (two) but super strong books are entered..especially KaraSeems to be quite dangerous...it surprised many opponents for sure..But anyhow, Not enough points to take the lead..so AdrianOliva is managed 'final' Champion!Ban 2nd, Kara 3rd! But in my eyes, all of the 3 (three) Top books are as Winners..About Balsa 3750's performance, it fully deserves to be called 'Pocket Hercules'! Once more (for anyone missed), no any other (up to 3 MB) to be so small, various In openings, plus less drawish..but in same time to be so strong...However, due to Balsa is my work..there will be no Champ title, once enough (via Perfect13) being Champ in 2007..Btw, what I can add more? Via this competition, mostly openings Are Trend..In other words, the well-built books gained better points but I admit thatTo be Number One or at least to adjust performance.. it's required enormous hand-Tuning, serious beta testings...is this all? Not of course..newer, stronger ideas are Needed too..just via importing the high-rated games, you have no much chances toBe be on Top..Ok dear chess friends, thanks for your interesting and see you later )Meanwhile, for my previous postings (regarding current book championship): News
LVI Public Book Champion: AdrianOliva - Congratulations to Angel Morano! Note: AdrianOliva and Ban have same Elo points but (via Chessbase) it's 0.5 point is better..
