Hello Chess Friends,
I am glad to announce that,
I started organizing another new book competition!
This time,
All participants will be tested with book settings: Optimized / Up to 8 moves
The main target is to see the strongest opening theory up to 8 moves (16 plies)
Some Notes,
Many of the played books are new, based on decent high-rated engine games
Just some examples, CCRL book is tuned to prefer CCRL Blitz games 3600+
CCC book tuned to prefer the decent high-rated games played at Chess com
Champ is the same version, which managed to be the Champion of XXII
CEGT book is optimized to prefer CEGT 40/20 + 40/120 Top engine games
E8400 book is based on decent Top engine games played by mig2004
FGRL is tuned to prefer the high-rated games: FGRL 10m+6s + 60m+15s
Polyglot book is the same one, which managed to be as Champion of XXVII
Perfect2020b book is optimized to prefer SCCT high-rated engine games...
SCCT (Balsa +older Perfect book series) is the same version played: XLIV
SSDF is tuned to prefer the decent high-rated games played at SSDF 40/120
TCEC book is based to decent high-rated engine games played at TCEC
Some opening books are based on GMs players openings, e.g: GMsTop
And once more the same GMs Champ books participated: Giri, Gelfand
8 move book, which belongs to 2018 year and created by Mr. Cevdet Sarı
Hiarcs 14zb opening book belongs to 2020 year, released by Hiarcs team
SF Reg Test v3 belongs to 2020, which is released by Mr. Peter Grayson
Later I hope to test more books, for example some of them:
Attacker, CF1977, DON, GOI, MZ, MrNoname and many others as well...
About Polyglot (BIN) books, probably not...due to sometimes the BIN books
Starting to use opening lines (after 8 moves..even with setting up to 8 moves)
The first played results: SSDF, Perfect, CCC etc. are doing not so bad so far!
