Dear Chess Friends,
1st of all,Current test idea born, after reading by the troll (Deeds=Botunnet) DetailsNo moderators on that forum, so troll spouts whatever nonsense he wants, Blaming also as 'SCCT is Lottery' Btw, that's what he does best anyway :)
And now it is my turn )This maniac has no clue what's going on in case of SCCT Championships!Actually I stated many times that any player's performance depends on ourUsed conditions, but it seems 5 years for Deeds (this small minded guy in Exp testings since 2021) is not enough time to see the whole picture, LOLBut anyhow, it is my pleasure to help..but this is as 'last' time about over ;)
Once more, any player's performance depends on used conditions e.gOne of main influences about why we see different points / ranks are:
1. Any opening book may gain / suffer vs various opponents..such asDepending on variety of book opponents, plus some are doing better In Trend lines or just opposite...some are better vs various openings!
2. In almost all book tours, many participants are not same vers., Therefore we see different points/ranks...and it is quite normal !)Otherwise, if all players will be ranked via same points or ranks, It will be against the laws/rules of nature, right ? :) plus in case..I will stop organizing all these kind of book tours for sure :)
But this is also true (many records based from the past to the present):Vasid Chouhan and Angel Morano's Trend books are often on the Top!But calling their great success lottery, just another madness by Deeds!
Or if comparing various openings (including also non-tuned deep lines etc):You know, my work - Balsa, Perfect books are one of best in ranks / points!
Is this all? Not of course )
3. Depending on used chess engines, some books are doing better asNON-NNUE or some are doing better via NNUE 3700+ Elo etc, in short; There is influence if testings books by 2700+ or 3800+ etc Elo engines!
4. Depending on used Time Controls...some books are doing betterUnder Bullet TC or some are doing better with Slower time controls,But I admit that if MP Blitz, Rapid.. etc mostly strong players perform Better...but just in case...too many draws on scene...close to 98-99%Therefore, I prefer Bullet TC, to reduce overall draws...hope helps :)
5. Other very important influence is that it all depends also on Number of games per player; Cores; Ponder OFF / ON etc. e.gThere is a BIG influence if playing 100 games or 200 games or 500+ games or 1000+ games or some 2000+ more etc. and etc.
If still not so clear ?) You can check latest new testings about what's going on;And usually, I say over: My opening suites and others!And why? very simple, even in 200 games, it is so clear;With less error margin...and what we can need more ?)Plus the opening quality/strength is not killed as well!
You know, there are many low draw opening suites,But they are simply; dead in strength and quality!Rather they're in my eyes simply; "Quality-Killer" !Reality is reality..and I think only fools may object over..
And to be honest,I would prefer quality over quantity, due to time is money!Why I have to spend many thousands of games.. if there areLogical ways (with less games) to see real power/strength ?)
And now... the target is simply to check, which opening suites Are more accurate / produce less error margin in 200 games!?
By the way, I am aware and I know perfectly that 200 games (per player) is not As very serious data for accurate strength measuring, but howeverNo free time to spend thousands of games, actually 200 games canBe a bit critical number but anyhow here is the golden key; via lessGames, to see the real engine power/strength, is not to be true ?
Therefore, to see and check...I realized to test the current openingSuites exactly by same Top chess engine version: Raubfish X48c3 In this way, sounds good....since Raubfish is quite frequent player!
And here are the latest played new results.. as usual; Balsa is Best!Accurate, true data...plus these testings confirm that my hardware isStable as well, also confirms that Deeds=Botunnet is TROLL again!
Note: Less Elo difference represents better and accurate points;

LAST NOTES: The openings are not played as twice, as main reason; Simply to adapt to SCCT Book Tours... and once more we noticed thatEven if playing with same engine, we see critical different points...but notWith all..some suites produce more accurate / stable performance..Why?Due openings is my job! I work on opening books, tours..since decades!
