New update: 9 books entered, 5 of them managed... Congratulations !
And Pampa, Pampa, Pampa.. again Mr. Angel's book is Number One!!
Btw, do you think that all these 'unbelievable' records are due to luck?
In short, what I'm trying to tell over long past years..just via importing or
Picking the wrong games etc..you've small possibility to gain high points
At least under these cond....sure there is nothing impossible, but before
It is required hard work and never give up..sooner or later you will do it..
Because some are really great masters in this area...and why not you?
Anyhow, no problem it's ok ..this is a FUN tour, not as World Chess CS
And it's time to resume Super League tour and wishing good luck to all )

Second League Leader: Pampa 3 - My Congratulations to Angel Morano!

Breaking News - 12.07.2024:
Finely the CS ended..Congrats and Thanks to all Eng + Book Authors!
Undoubtedly both Leagues will be unforgettable as Battle of Wolves!
On other hand, picture is clear, so I think that talking more not required..
Exc. Biyuya's mostly book entries are managed to qualify..best record!
I admit too many of Skynet's plus my derivatives books are managed..
And If I've played some influence/role over... then how happy I am..!)
Yes tour was hard, all entries played vs + 13 (besides fatal number))
And only 32% of the books managed...just imagine..that not so easy..
But anyhow, the best ones (in overall openings) gained better points,
Where in Super League: the strongest in trend openings gained better..
Ok friends that is all for now.. I hope to see you in next planning tours!
But before...I have to rake a very good rest...take care and stay safe )

Second League Champion: Pampa - Congratulations to Angel Morano!

Breaking News - 12.07.2024:
Super League tour ended as well, Congrats and thanks to all Authors!
Special thanks to Mr Tanick Ramz, for creating a super strong engine,
Which is one of best (in book tours too), besides futures small size..!
Moreover, his both books are qualified players..that means a lot really..
On other hand, what happened in latest hours ?) too many things...)
Yes via latest entries, the standings changed, not for all, but changed..
As you may see in SL, we have 2 (two) Champions...yes..even after
Tie-break matches, their points remained equal (ended all draws) so
I realized both Top books to be titled Champions..plus they deserved...
2nd place AdrianOliva+BN XXII Top, 3rd. there are 4 (four) Top books!
Very interesting indeed e.g similar place records rarely is appearing )
In same time that shows, many Top books are very close in strength..

SL Champions: HCan / Optimus - Congrats to Can / Constantinesco!
Note: Optimus is created by Me /tuned to prefer some OPTIMUS vers.

Thank you Sedat for this tournament, and for making a wonderful book from OPTIMUS games.

Really impressed by your skill for choosing the best games for making so strong bin books that are really small in size! Tuning is also a matter of choosing best lines and games not only tuning variants inside book itself.

Best regards.
Roger.

A great tour i hope to climb the ladder soon Thanks Mr S

Hello Roger,

Not at all and it is my pleasure )
I'm just creator, no more no less...

Otherwise (without OPTIMUS's opening lines),
There would be a BIG miss in Super League!

And just my 2 cents more over these issues:

A book with 'strong moves' can resist the strongest engine,
But without...then the fight is 'hopeless' in most battles!
Moreover, in active game: no way to be tuned the openings,
So for best performance, a well-prepared book is required..
(Sure I'm referring for under these tournament conditions)

In other words,
If your tree didn't have very strong deep roots in the ground,
My created stem would not be so strong and upright as well

And keep up the great work too!

Best,
Sedat

Hello Chess Friends,

Meantime, just I'd like to inform all of you that,
Another NEW CS is coming very soon, but this time,
Exc. Public, plus Private books will be allowed too,
Because simply due to interest by Book Authors...

Some Notes (about the planning new book contest):
It will be in qualification mode as BN XXXI etc. but
All entrants will be played by Raubfish SC, where my
Created books will be played by some Top NNUE engines,
Which are highly close in strength to Raubfish SC!
And why often Raubfish? as reason: due to mainly FUN!
Plus very stable, less Drawish, still quite strong..
And other important factor: futures very small size!

Meanwhile,
Here are my created new 8 (eight) based books, which
Will be as constant players (during the competition):

Andromeda = Balsa + Perfect books wins on Book tours
Centaurus = Balsa + Unique wins but on Engine tours
Cigar = CCC, CCRL, CEGT, FGRL, FCP, SSDF, TCEC wins
Comet = 2nd Leagues constant books (Balsa games out)
Milky Way = Tuned to prefer GMs high-rated players
Triangulum = Tuned to prefer Top players books wins
Ursa Major = As above, but on others Top books wins
Whirlpool = Tuned to prefer many Cevdet's books wins

More Details (about my created new opening books):
Non of above books deep opening lines are optimized..
In short, they are created to stress latest entries..!
In this way, we'll have possibility to check e.g which
Are better in overall openings, as we know only trend
Sounds good but not enough to determine which is best!
Be aware too, all of them based on SCCT's tours games,
And for any book, as usual I spent minus plus 15 min.
In same time that means, they include a lot of holes..
But anyhow, let's see what will be the influences...?!

Ok that's all for now, sure more info soon..

And be ready to 'Battle' for the Galaxy !)


Best,
Sedat
