Breaking News - 04.02.2024:  Another new championship, again only World Champions books!  Main target (via latest tours..) is to see the influences, you know,  More better..! And as you may see too, I've realized to run series  Of different tourneys: via Ponder ON plus via Ponder OFF too !!  I've used exactly the same book versions, which played: Results  Exc. current both tours are played by 8-times Champion: Cfish  Be aware of that too, the current CS is played (as alternative) by  Fruit 2.3.1 engine too, as reason, because Fruit is more close to   Classical World Champions strength, e.g Fruit is about 2800 Elo  Where Cfish is much stronger, close to 3600 Elo, Btw, Cfish is one  Of the strongest engines of the World...this is a fact..just do not say  NNUE, because NNUE is not an engine..just like BOOKS..I mean   Many of latest engines play via gaining from previous played data..  Forget everything, via gaining from older data I may beat many too!  In other words, via NN: not so much as 'serious' or to call it 'genius'  Ok.let's back to our actual tours ) as we see, the pondering influence  Played a role over some of the players, better quality games for sure..  But if checking both tours (via Cfish), minus plus standings are same...  Yes..Anand's performance is really very impressive, where managed   To be Number One in latest both tours..where in last tour (via Fruit..)       Carlsen is with very good performance...manged to be Champ too!
  Dual Champion (via Cfish) Anand - My Congratulations to Vishy Anand!  Champion (via Fruit): Carlsen - My Congratulations to Magnus Carlsen!
