Tournament Details:• All opening books are playing by same engine: CF EXT 291120 C40• For each book participant is installed a separate copy of chess engine• On 2x E5-2686 machine are installed and used only chess programs Plus no internet connection (to prevent against any kind of threats) Tournament PC is daily restarted, speed benchmark in every 2-3 days And it seems, all is quite stable, as we see.. no any time forfeits etc.• The ongoing book tours are planning to be active for several months• I plan to test a lot of opening books, from the past to the present! Sure, the main target is that, to be played the decent opening books• Rather than tour, it will be a rating (with min 300 games per player)• Super League Leader (after 300 games...) will be titled as Champion• Chessbase (ctg) main book settings: Learning ON, Optimized, 0/100 Exception, other settings can be used by Author's recommendations Btw, please take a screenshot (in case of request other than 0/100)• Polyglot (bin) books will be tested by Authors suggested settings too• As graphical chess interfaces used: Fritz 12, Fritz 13, Fritz 14 GUIs That means parallel matches (a few separate Fritz GUIs are played) I don't prefer newer ChessBase ones such as Fritz 15, Fritz 16 GUIs, Due to 'Book Learning' does not work in Gauntlet, Round-robin mode• Why I preferred as NON-NNUE, 3 Min, 4 Core+ 8 Core/Game is that,- The main reason is simply to reduce the overall draw percentage.. Otherwise it is expecting the draw percentage to be close 97-98% For more info, regarding NNUE testings can be viewed: Details• Periodically, CCRL, CEGT, FCP,,FGRL,SPCC, SCCT are replaced With fresh book copies...due to 'Book Learning' is quite effective... In this way, the new book entries will have more chances to qualify...
