Hello Chess Friends,
I am pleased to announce that,
Here is a new Championship, but this time as players: GMs books!
Later...I plan to create a new rating based on qualified Top players
In this competition,
All books are new and tuned to prefer GMs played openings, av. 2750 Elo
Almost all of GMs opening books are based on 1000+ games (per player)
In short, my created books are quite close to GMs opening playing styles
Sure...here the situation is different, all played by Brainfish 151019 C40
And interesting to see the influence of GMs openings by 3600+ Elo engine
As players, I picked mainly with best records based on previous SCCT tours
Plus, some decent high-rated FIDE's Top players as books are participated
The current format is Knockout system, which is similar to FIFA World Cup
All books are added// played into 8 (eight) groups, in alphabet order
10x games each other...the tied-break matches, extra games played (min. 2)
Please stay tuned...very soon all the played games and the final results ..

Dear Chess Friends,
I am pleased to announce that,
Very soon (probably in 3-5 days) I hope to start another new book tours!
I plan to run two tourneys as active and for long period of time...in short:
1. Professional tour: Only the qualified book players will be participated
2. Standard tour: will be based on players, which prefer various openings
More Details:
New entries will be tested firstly in Standard tour (200 games per player)
And any opening book, which will manage to be performed with over than
55% + winning percentage, will be as qualified player for Professional tour
The Professional's participants will be played min 400 games (per player)
Note: in Pro tour: 8 cores/game will be played, where in Standard: 6 cores...
Btw, Elo differences between 8 core vs 6 core...can be viewed: Deep Brain
Meanwhile,
Since 27.05.2020: anyone interested can submit a opening book Contact
Exc. From unknown author is required min 100 games (Playchess etc)
In these tours: all books (Available, Private) will be allowed as players!
Max. uncompressed size limit (up to) CTG: 1250 MB / BIN: 250 MB
And please stay tuned... more information very soon...
Best,
Sedat
