However, many, including me, prefer M11.3 because we can enjoy it thanks to the generosity of its author who shares it.

Totally agree

There are private books and there are public books, the difference between these concepts should be understood, probably not by children....

You are right. There are public books and private books. In the same way, there are forum members who share their books and others do not. This is understood even by children.

Congratulations to Drongo!  Book Feta 2.1 is unbeatable and deservedly won the tournament.

Hi are the games available? thanks in advance.

Tournament I launched, but there was a problem.  The book Ultracorr2021 did not work, worked as the engine from the very beginning.  I changed the book Ultracorr2021 on Ragnar.

The tournament is running. Engine Stockfish_21031911_x64_modern.

Update 1

hmm Mantisv2... Mr. Conrog again ?

Many people ask the game of the first tournament.  So I decided to lay them out on the forum: https://pixeldrain.com/u/STagTrnm

Hi any update on tour? Thanks in advance

Update 2

Thank you for your book tournaments.
Maybe next time you could integrate a bookless stockfish. Since NNUE it is claimed that the chess engines don't need books anymore because they are already so strong.

After the completion of the second tournament, I plan to hold a tournament with the participation of: the three best books of the first tournament + the three best books of the second tournament + Stockfish without a book.
