Sedat Canbaz возобновил тестирование дебютных книг. Очередное тестирование пройдёт в августе. Подробнее- на сайте Sedatchess.

---

А почему тут Седата не видно?

---

В смысле не видно? Сегодня был на сайте.

---

AntiMaster, ты когда будешь отправлять книгу? Регистрация по 20 августа? я сегодня- завтра отправлю.

---

Оно мне надо? И без того известно, что я самый лучший букмейкер в "Комнате Движков", 2872 на автоигре вчера набрал, причём процессов открыто было полным-полно..

---

какой ты самоуверенный, скромнее нужно быть, Вова, скромнее

---

Вот пусть скромный покажет мне рейтинг под 2850 хотя бы, набранный с нового ника в середине 2011 года. Без накачки и всего связанного с нечестными путями.

---

AntiMaster, но книгу Седату всё равно надо отправлять. :)

---

В турнире SCCT-8 зарегистрировалось уже 50 авторов дебютных книг! Давно такого не было, даже и не помню, был ли такой массовый турнир.

---

AntiMaster, ты хоть один раз в 2011 году набирал рейтинг 2900+? Не важно с какого ника, старого или нового. Я таких ников знаю три, один из них мой. Тебе еще расти и расти...
У тебя сейчас есть хоть один ник с рейтингом 2800+? Если есть, могу сыграть настоящий матч.

---

Интересно.. Значит, играешь только с никами, у которых 2800 и выше?? Это у сисопов называется "НАКАЧКА". Пусть даже если честно играть 2 игрока будут, а им всё равнО. Поэтому и формулу нельзя поставить чтобы игралось с игроками от 2600 и выше - у них это тоже считается накачкой, они сделали так, чтобы ты не просто должен, а ОБЯЗАН играть с игроками РАЗНОГО рейтинга, вот и давай набирай как я на "открытой формуле" и автоигре 2872.
P.S. Насчёт 2900+ - дай мне свои 20000-21000+ кнс - сделаю тебе 2900.:)

---

Если бы я играл только с никами, у которых 2800 и выше, мне бы вообще не с кем было играть! Посмотри историю моих игр на любом нике, там видно с кем я играл. Матчи - это совсем другое дело, против игроков с низким рейтингом я матчи не играю, но с тобой, как с "лучшим букмейкером в "Комнате Движков" :), в виде исключения, могу сыграть. Если, конечно, ты не боишься играть настоящие СЕРЬЕЗНЫЕ матчи.

У тебя процессор не хуже чем у меня, а даже лучше, со свободным множителем! Разогнать компьютер и получить 20000 кнс с твоим процессором легче чем с моим.
Компьютерные шахматы - это не только умение делать хорошие книги для движков, но и умение настраивать "железо" на максимальную производительность.

---

Онлайн турнир http://pt-br.just...sedatchess 77-мь книг*CRAZY*

---

одна вещь, это точно, даже с ранним рисовать и рано отставку реализуется это займет прибл 10 дней для круглых, так что не держите breth ожидании результатов ...
*YAHOO*

---

Ну да, раньше сентября нельзя ожидать результатов.

---

3 книги было удалить из турнира, как они были обнаружены неисправности (не движется внутри)
76 еще играет ....
Александр Neapus - Neapus - Гудини 1.5а России
Ричи Гарри - BoltOfQueen - Гудини 1.5а США
Диего D 'Иисус - Dijesmon - Гудини 1.5а США

---

Откуда информация, pico?

---

Вот он как раз-то и хуже: все, у кого вижу 970й - у всех под 20000 кнс, у меня же с 980Х - 14000-16500 кнс, причём разгон одинаковый, как объяснишь такое?? Почему у меня никогда не бывает 20000-21000 кнс как у тебя?? Как ни настраивал - БЕС-ПО-ЛЕЗ-НО.*WALL*

---

Предварительные результаты:


Смотрим здесь.

P.S. Zunkor и AntiMaster, заведите отдельную тему и выясняйте отношения там.

Hello Dear Chess Friends !

First of all,once more i'd like say: MANY THANKS to all SCCT Book Authors

And without to not mention this i can't:
-i am so much grateful to all SCCT Book Authors,especially it makes me feel proud that you are trusting me since many years
And be sure your opening books will be not shared to Nobody

SCCT VIII Book Tournament is already over-Final Standings:
http://sedat-ches...php?p=1_12

The Winner is again 'Hitman' book by Eduardo Koji (the previous SCCT VII's Winner)

A little note:Hitman is just a brilliant book,one of the strongest books that i have ever seen !!

And my congratulations to second and third places- Mark Zimba (Defender) / Marcos Matsuda (JapanTopOne)
There is no doubt that the performance of both books (Defender and JapanTopOne) are really impressive too !

Actually all TOP 20 Books have superior results !! My Congratulations to TOP 20's Book Authors too

Best Regards,
Sedat Canbaz

---

1 и 2 место заняли книги, которые играют 1.е3!
Вот бы, все так на Плейчессе играли белыми :)

---

1. e3- антишахматы, ничего белые там не могут добиться по дебюту. 1.h3, 1.a3, 1.b3, 1.d4 2. Bf4- тоже антишахматы.

---

Ненавижу когда "кривыми" играют линиями - хрен подготовишься! Невразумительно как-то..:(

---

1.d4 2. Bf4- Коля изобрёл. Там при правильном порядке ходов должна получиться позиция из ферзевого гамбита с ходов Bf4, который белым ничего не даёт, чаще играют Bg5 белые в ферзевом гамбите. А уж схема развития: c3, e3 тем более не может сулить белым перевес, не говоря уже о ходе Nc3 при пешке на c2! Это просто игра на тупость компьютера, на глубину вариантов. Мне такие варианты неинтересны, гораздо интереснее в Найдорфе чего-нибудь найти.

---

Sedat, ti budesh igrat v nashem turnire? 3-4 september. See here.

Hello Chess Friends !

I am pleased to announce:
-due to many requests i plan to organize a new SCCT IX Book Tournament 2011:
[url]http://sedat-chess.110mb.com/index.php?p=1_13
[/url]

Opening Book Registrations: October 04-09 2011
Tournament Start Date : October 10-11 2011



Some Notes:
------------
-It's planning to be tested aprox.TOP 25-30 Opening Books
-If the number of the registrations is more than 25-30 books:
a)There will be exception only for well-known TOP Book Authors or for some Top PlayChess Players
b)Who are bellow than SCCT's 30 places or for new Incomers:
-Unfortunately...i don't want to promise,it will depend on my free time

More Details:
-------------
*Why i am considering to change the conditions for the next SCCT IX Book Tournament:
-It's very hard to organize a huge book tour,especially,if the total number is more than 40-50 books
A little note:Only for current SCCT VIII Book Tour,i have spent many hand efforts (more than 20 days)

More Information Coming Soon !

Thanks for your understanding...

Best Regards,
Sedat Canbaz

---

New Update:
--------------
I have a new project for the future (after SCCT IX) i am planning to change the current conditions
So i think for the next SCCT X Book Tournament to create a SuperLeague,it will be based on SCCT IX's Top Strongest 20 Books
In other words,the registrations will be not open for all,i plan to select only the TOP 20 Ranks of SCCT IX Standings

*Attention:
-Currently i am looking for Assistant Tester,who will run a Second League,
where i can include the Second League's TOP Strongest 3 Books for the next SCCT X SuperLeague
Note:the Assistant Tester should be NON-SCCT Book Author (due to not loosing the neutrality/independence)

More SCCT IX Registrations,which will be allowed also for:


BTW,actually i can make exception for some TOP Playchess/Flyordie/RPC/Testo Players
But for clarification about their books performance i need data (games) !


Best Wishes,
Sedat

---

*Attention (after SCCT IX):
-Guido.M (the Tournament Director of Testo-Book Tours) is planning to be the Assistant Tester for Second League
-Guido.M (Testo-Book Tours) will run a Second League,it will be based on 20 Opening Books
-Only the TOP Strongest 3 Books of Second League's will qualify for the next SCCT X Super League
-SCCT Super League's last places:18,19,20 ranks will be replaced to Second League
Note:in case of more than 20 registrations for Second League,then we need to find another Tester,who will run Third League

Best Regards,
Sedat

---

There were some questions about the next SCCT/Testo Leagues,so i decided to post here too

First of all,there will be a new SCCT IX Book Tournament (expected registrations approx.30-40 books)

And after that tour (when the SCCT IX book competition is over),its planning to be created 2 Leagues:

1.SCCT I Super League (Tournament Manager:Sedat Canbaz)=it will be based on SCCT IX's Top Strongest 20 Books
*That means,the Authors of SCCT IX's Strogest Top 20 Books will qualify to play in SCCT X Super League
*In other words,the Authors of between 1-20 Places should make their registrations to me (Sedat Canbaz)

2.Testo I Second League (Tournament Manager:Guido.M)=it will be based on SCCT IX's Standings between 21-40 Places
*The Authors of between 21-40 Places should make their registrations to Testo I Second League (Guido.M)

Later...we hope to run/continue more SCCT/Testo Book Leagues

For example,SCCT II Super League will be always based on Top 20 Strongest books:
-The last places of SCCT I Super League:18,19,20 will be replaced to play in Testo Second II League
-The first 3 places of Testo I Second League:1,2,3 will qualify to play in SCCT II Super League

Some Notes about Testo Book Tournaments/Guido:
------------------------------------------------
-Guido is the Tournament Manager of Testo Book Tours
-Experienced/Trusted Tester,where he organized several successful Book Tournaments
-Guido is also a Moderator in Chess2U (Ahmed) forum:
http://www.chess2...

And i hope the SCCT Book Authors will agree/support our new project and will make registrations as before

Best Regards,
Sedat

Hello Dear Chess Friends,

Last Update:
Houdini 2.0 Pro x64 1c


*Some Notes:
Its too early to make any conclusions (more games are needed),but anyway just i'd like to point out that:
-Houdini 2.0 Pro x64's performance is incredible so far,even with using 1 core
-It seems,Houdini 2.0 Pro x64's playing style is quite well suited for SCCT Auto232's conditions

Седат, ты можешь писать транслитом по-русски? Ты же это умеешь!
Седат, есть проблемы:
1. Почему ты, Седат, не говоришь, что у тебя есть новый домен: http://www.sedatc...
2. Седат, ты приводишь ссылки на сайт chess2u.com.
Понимаешь, дорогой и уважаемый Седат, что с людьми с этого сайта, я и Antimaster не сядем на одном гектаре! (Понял русский фольклор? Должен понять!) Эти люди- обнародуют пароли нашего сайта, они для нас- не существуют, как любители компьютерных шахмат.

---

Седат, здесь русскоязычный форум, если ты будешь писать транслитом по-русски, то это будет способствовать успеху в русскоязычном интернете.

Здравствуй, уважаемый Седат!
А когда у тебя старт турнира? 10.10.2011?
Я не успею подготовить свою книгу, нет времени, я только вчера прилетел в Москву. У меня нет книги для участия в SCCT! Но ведь это не ослабит нашу дружбу, Седат? Мы- друзья?
Насчёт сайта chess2u.com. Они лично мне ничего плохого не сделали. Но они выдали много паролей на книги Antimaster-a! Antimaster- мой соратник по этому сайту.
P.S. Зачем chess2u.com выдаёт пароли на чужие книги? У них есть свои книги! Они действуют несправедливо!

С уважением,

Дорогие друзья!

Для прямо сейчас Таблица SCCT IX в:
http://www.sedatc...standings/
-Текущий Лидер JapanTopOne (Chessbase книги)
-Второе место Hitman (Chessbase книги)
Третье место Nano (Полиглот книги)

Кстати, на самом деле это будет новый рекорд SCCT, если победитель будет снова Hitman книги
Но в любом случае, его слишком рано делать какие-либо выводы, тур только в начале (все может случиться в следующие раунды)
Отметим также, что нынешние участники намного сильнее, чем предыдущие книги SCCT
Насколько я заметил, текущие книги открытия гораздо более оптимизирован и есть меньше экспериментальных книг

Давайте посмотрим ..., который TOP 20 книг сможет претендовать на следующий SCCT I Суперлиги?

И очень скоро покажет время около которой книга будет новый чемпион SCCT IX

Записочку более (без не упомянуть об этом я не могу):
-Топ 41 Авторы книги являются реальной храбрые бойцы!
* Это означает, что много для меня

* Я еще раз хотел бы сказать:
-Большое спасибо всем SCCT Авторы книги (за проявленный интерес, поддержку, доверие ...)

С наилучшими пожеланиями,
Седат

Новое обновление: 19:35 13.10.2011

А сейчас новый лидер Nano (полиглот книгу Габриэля Натанс)

Для Текущая таблица (после 913 игр):
http://www.sedatc...standings/

* Примечание: 1 / 4 этого турнира уже разыгрывались

И с каждым днем борьба будет намного интереснее ...
Например, каждый участник (ТОП 20-25 рядов) имеет больше шансов быть Победитель SCCT IX

С наилучшими пожеланиями,
Седат

Привет Шахматы Друзья,

Последнее обновление: 11:54 16.10.2011

SCCT IX нынешний лидер:JapanTopTeamII (7 очков впереди 2-й , 3-е места)
JapanTopTeamII имеют очень хорошие результаты до сих пор, мои поздравления Маркос К. Мацуда!
Еще слишком рано для оценки, но в любом случае, вероятно JapanTopTeamII будет Победитель SCCT IX
Отметим также, что нынешний лидер включает в себя много новых сильных вариаций / необычные линии, которые никогда не играли прежде
И как я упоминал ранее, такие книги имеют больше шансов оказаться на первой позиции в одном из первых мест
Просто я хотел бы отметить также, что JapanTopTeamII результаты является как мощная коллективная работа в команде

Для SCCT IX полная таблица:
http://www.sedatc...standings/

С уважением,
Седат

---

Новое обновление: 01:49 17.10.2011

Да ... SCCT IX окончательный день уже запущен ...
* Приблизительно 30 игр осталось (у каждого игрока)
И наверное, после прибл. 24-30 часов тур закончится ...

О текущей TOP 3 места:
Лидер же, как и прежде: JapanTopTeamII
Второе место: Attacker
Третье место: Rompecoco

Кажется, TOP 10 книг уже гарантирована на ближайшие SCCT Super I League
Но, глядя на текущие результаты, мы видим, что наиболее важные ранги зачете между 15-25 мест
Другими словами, нет никаких сомнений, что FINAL будет очен интересным

Для текущая таблица:
http://www.sedatc...standings/

Удачи всем участникам,
Седат

Уважаемый Седат, очень жаль, что твой сайт недоступен. Это не DDoS, это просто плохой хостинг. Хостинги бывают разные, не мне тебе об этом говорить, у тебя свой сайт был раньше моего. У меня хороший хостинг, сайт gladiators-chess всегда был доступен. Уважаемый Седат, если будет твоя воля, мы можем всегда перевести твой сайт на мой (российский) хостинг. Во благо компьютерных шахмат! У меня недобор сайтов в тарифном плане, мне это финансово ничего стоить не будет. Могу предложить стабильно работающий хостинг (ты- единственный админ на своём сайте, имеешь единолично доступ на FTP и почту своего сайта, больше никто), и 5 Gb дискового пространства для твоего сайта, куда ты сможешь загружать свои файлы. У меня: 10 Гб дискового пространства (после Нового года, может ещё расширят, всегда ведь расширяли), предлагаю- пополам, по 5 Гб. Единственный минус- иностранные юзеры могут думать, что ты чрезмерно симпатизируешь к россиянам. Но твой многолетний безупречный авторитет, уважаемый Седат, будет лучшей гарантией от этого!

Deep Rybka 4.1 x64 6 cores результатов до сих пор:
http://www.sedatc...t-auto232/

Некоторые заметки о текущем матче (слишком рано для каких-либо выводов, больше игр необходимо разыгрывается):
-Но в любом случае, Deep Rybka 4.1 x64 6 cores, кажется, немного сильнее, чем Houdini 2.0b Pro x64 4 cores
-Текущий счет показывает, что Deep Rybka 4.1 x64 6 cores около 70 ЭЛО сильнее чем Deep Rybka 4.1 x64 4 cores
-Последний релиз: Houdini 2.0b Pro x64 около 10 Эло слабее, чем Houdini 2.0 Pro x64 (вероятно, из-за ТБ ошибка)
-Deep Rybka 4,1 x64 и Houdini 2.0b Pro x64 играют с 4-MEN EGTB (DVD Endgame Turbo 3/Gaviota ТБ отключены)

А вот текущую таблицу голосования:

Houdini 2 Chess Engine User's Manual

"For shorter games, e.g. 3 to 5 minute games, it’s better to use 256 MB or 512 MB as this will provide the best performance. For 16 min games 1024 or 2048 MB hash size should be fine.
If you know the average move time T (in seconds) and the average node speed of your hardware S (in kN/s), you can compute the optimal hash size with the formula: (T x S / 100) MB.
For example if you use a Time Control of 10 minutes for 40 moves repeating, the average move time T = 15 seconds. On hardware that produces about 2,000 kN/s the optimal hash size would then be approximately (15 x 2,000 / 100) = 300 MB, in other words 256 MB or 512 would be the recommended values."

Дорогие друзья,

Это последний день ... турнир будет завершена завтра
У нас есть по крайней мере TOP 10 участников и любой из них может быть Чемпионом SCCT

Отметим также, что почти все участники точках и силы очень близки друг к другу

Другими словами, это означает:
-книги очень сильные
-нет экспериментальных книг
-все книги очень хорошо оптимизированы
-каждая книга играет за 1-е место
-почти всех книг процент выигрыша составляет около 50%

* Одна вещь больше, книги (которые играют без обучения) имеют меньше шансов занять 1-го ранга

Седат, если твой сайт имеет плохой доступ, то в очередной раз могу тебе предложить хостинг своего сайта. Сайт gladiators-chess всегда был доступен. Зачем тебе создавать зеркало своего сайта, если можно перейти на другой хостинг и раз и навсегда забыть о проблемах с доступностью сайта.

Здравствуйте дорогие друзья,

Я получаю почту частые вопросы (о том, как достичь высокого рейтинга Эло), касающиеся в основном на Playchess
Так что я надеюсь, что моя текущая рекомендация / совет может быть полезно для некоторых других игроков, поэтому я решил разместить здесь

Вот один из наиболее важных факторов в отношении Как добраться высокого ELO Performance!

Другими словами, оставаться всегда на одном из первых мест или достичь высокого рейтинга Эло:
-Вы должны купить быстро достойную машину
-Рекомендуется для использования процессора, который генерирует ок. 20000 KNS по Гудини 2.0c x64
-Используйте сильнейших шахматных двигателя (в настоящее время для его рекомендуется использовать Houdini 2.0c x64)
-Открытие книги играют большую роль, и это является ключом для достижения высокой производительности ELO
-Ваша книга должна быть основана главным образом на только игры, качество играет Гудини 1.5/2.0)
-Глубина дебютной книги до 50 ходов, это хорошая идея
-Вы должны оптимизировать вручную победы / потери линий
-Вы должны отредактировать победы движется с зеленым и потери линий с красным цветом
-Вы должны создать и новые сильные изменения, которые никогда не играли прежде, чем
-Ваше открытие книги (особенно с черным), не должны играть в различные отверстия
-Белых должны быть очень агрессивны, где чернокожие противника должно быть падение в критических позиций
-Его рекомендованная для запуска собственной частной бета-тестирования книги (прежде чем начать играть на Playchess или в любое другое серверов)
-Используйте Hashtables размера (в зависимости от скорости процессора): 128 МБ или 512 МБ Размер Hashtable для Blitz и 1024 МБ или выше для быстрой игры
-Установить TableBases на флешку (ТБ скорость поиска на флешке значительно быстрее, чем локальный жесткий диск)

Кстати, из моего опыта я могу сказать также, что ниже факторы могут быть одной из серьезных причин (низкая производительность) тоже:
Нестабильная-машина (неправильный разгон, некоторые проблемы могут быть в оперативной памяти, жесткий диск или, может быть, есть некоторая система аксессуаров перекрытия ...)
* Проверьте ваши разгона аппаратной стабильности системы с помощью Prime95; Linx; OCCT ...
-Операционная система может включать в себя - вирусов, шпионских программ, вредоносных программ ... по этой причине часта необходима для проверки антивирусными программами
-Для поддержания компьютера системы, ее рекомендуется чуть ли не ежедневно, которые будут использоваться реестре / системы оптимизаторов
-Ее не рекомендуется также для установки любых программ в трей и в разделе Загрузка
-Некоторые Fritz GUI Обновления и ошибок, которые могут привести к чистой работы двигателя шахматам
* Я хочу сказать, последние Fritz GUI обновления не значит, является наиболее стабильным, попробуйте несколько из них и держать / использовать обновления версии, которая у вас есть лучшие результаты

Я надеюсь, что это помогает ...

Одна вещь больше, я вижу одну из частых вопросов: Почему вы не играете на Playchess?
-Я не играют на Playchess сервер, из-за меня есть большое уважение к SCCT авторы книг, плюс у меня нет много свободного времени

По любым вопросам, пожалуйста свяжитесь со мной:

Удачи,

Седат, швейцарская система в 3 тура не даёт точных результатов. Мало игр. У Stockfish, Rybka и Houdini были разные соперники. Если бы Rybka или Houdini играли с соперниками Stockfish, то они тоже могли бы набрать 3 из 3.

Hello Chess Friends!

SCCT LIVE 2011 Tournament is already over !

The Champion of SCCT FINAL 2011 is ''Stockfish 111030'' Congratulations to Tord Romstad, Marco Costalba and Joona Kiiski !!
And we should not forget to say many thanks also for the owner of Stockfish 111030 compile !!

Actually,SCCT LIVE 2011 has 3 Winners-3 equal points,so my congratulations also to Houdini and Ivanhoe teams !

But anyway,if we check the average,the first Top 3 Standings are:
1st.Stockfish 111030 x64 6c
2nd.Houdini 2.0c Pro x64 6c
3rd.Ivanhoe 46hm x64 6c

More Details:
-------------
•BIG Thanks to All Visitors,personally i did not expect that there will be a such big interest...
*Note:SCCT LIVE:2289 Views (in less than 3 days period of time)
•SSE42 versions (i mean for engines,which are optimized for i7 processors) have been played
•Swiss Crosstable is created by Scid 4.3
•This is a Swiss tournament,of course for a better/accurate conclusion more games are needed
•But however,in my opinion some engines perform better on faster machines and slow time control
*For example,even on my old quads- the older version of Stockfish performed 2nd:
http://www.sedatc...ladiators/
•Note also that almost all rating lists are based on blitz or on older machines or one 1 core
•So...its time to start testing the engines at maximum performance and full strength
•In other words,we need a new decent rating list,which should be based on latest fast processors and with slow time control
•More information coming soon about the current issue-decent rating list with slow time control

Hello Dear Chess Friends,

I have a new idea/project for 2012-ICCR (Independent Computer Chess Rating):
-Let's create a new decent rating list,which will based on latest fast processors with slow time control

Here are the rules/conditions for ICCR rating

ICCR Conditions:
----------------


More details:
-------------
Actually we are a little bit late for creating a such decent rating list,but anyway its better late than never
Yes...it's time to build a new decent rating on latest fast processors with slow time control
And there is no doubt in case of such new rating,this list will include a lot of high quality valuble games
ICCR Testers will receive oftenly new updates of my Perfect opening book series
ICCR will accept only Testers which are owners of latest fast processors:
-i7 970/i7 980X/i7 990X/i7 3930k/i7 960X/2x Intel Xeon/AMD Phenom II X6 1035T/1055T/1100T...
Note:Quads or slower processors will be allowed only for testing in case of match:single - against single processor engine
The time control (45m+15s) will be adapted on i7 980X 3.33 GHz,so e.g on AMD Phenom II X6 1035T will be played with 70m+15s
Or other example,the time control on i7 3930k @4.60 GHz will adapted to 30m+15s

All experienced Testers from all over the World are welcome to join in the new team:ICCR

ICCR rating project will be cancelled,in case of no interest between 3 months period of time

For any questions please feel free to contact:
http://www.sedatc...s/contact/

Best Regards,
Sedat Canbaz

Wow...net u terpenii...uvidit Fritz bench resultatav on AMD Server

S uvajeniem,
Sedat

---

BTW,nowadays the web server does not allow me to post on these chess forums:Chess2U,Chess4U,RebornSE
I am not sure exactly what can be the reason...probably those sites are not allowed from Turkey

So...its will be great if anybody post my main message in those forums too

Thanks in advance,
Sedat

Hello Chess Friends,

POLL:Do you support ICCR ?
http://www.sedatc...hess/iccr/

Thanks in advance,
Sedat Canbaz

First of all many thanks to all Voters

Wow...its true that still there are not many Voters (probably due to many people were busy with the new year holiday)

But however i did not expect that there will be a such BIG interest/support over my new ICCR project

After a such support....probably i will not cancel my new project and i will continue to work over it (even after 3 months)

Best Wishes,
Sedat

Hello Chess Friends,

Just i'd like to inform you that:
-Due to many interest,requests...i will allow Quads too,but only with Hyper Threading OFF

Fore More Information:
[url]http://www.sedatcanbaz.com/chess/iccr/
[/url]
Note:Fritz Chess Benchmark will be used for measuring the processor chess speed
For accurate testing:its strongly recommended to be used the bellow time controls:


Calculation Method – Time Control:
Intel Core i7 980X 3.33GHz=45m+15s (official time control)
Average Game Lenght:72 moves x15 sec = 18 Minutes
TOTAL= 45 Minutes + 18 Minutes = 63 Minutes per side (45m+15s)

Intel Core i7 980X @4.33GHz=32m+15s
Average Game Lenght:72 moves x15 sec = 18 Minutes
TOTAL= 32 Minutes + 18 Minutes = 50 Minutes per side (32m+15s)

18709 kns / 14744 kns = 1,268
63 Minutes / 1.268 = 49,68 Minutes – 18 Minutes = 32m+15s
63 Minutes / 50 Minutes = 1.26

Greetings,
Sedat

---

New Update:

The new official time control will be 40m+10s and it will be adapted to i7 980X 3.33 GHz
I slightly change the time control,due to i plan to add the Gladiator 2011 games:
http://www.sedatc...ladiators/
For more accurate ELO calculation:its not allowed testing 6 core against 4 core on same machine
The reason,we plan to test the engines with adapted time controls under different speed hardwares
*Otherwise,in case of such wrong test,the Engines ELO Performance will be effected
*For right testing (6c against 4c):
-Engines should be tested with adapted time controls,on two separate machines via Auto232 mode

For more information:
http://www.sedatc...hess/iccr/

Sedat

Dear Chess Friends,

Unfortunately i am sorry to announce:
-I am planning to cancel my new project ICCR

More details about why i am planning to stop working on the new ICCR project:
-I still strongly believe (in case of such list) that we will see high-quality games,played under super fast machines
-I plan to cancel this project is not due to there is no interest over it...
*For example,even in a very short time,ICCR has already 3 Testers,which are waiting instructions from me

The main reason of planning to not continue working over ICCR is that:
-There will be wrong Elo calculations,in case of using adapted time controls under different speed processors
-I mean,in case of creating a such adapted rating- all participant Elo standings will be effected...
-So far...I could not find any right solution for measuring the real Elo strength of the ICCR engines
-The biggest Elo calculation problem is appearing e.g 6c against 4c or 6c against 12c ...

*A simple example of wrong Elo calculation about in case of if we are not combing the mp engines in one version:
How can we calculate the game results played by:


-The right hardware Elo calculation (6c against 4c):should be done on two separate machines via Auto232 mode
*I mean for hardware speed test (6c against 4c):
-Engines should be tested with adapted time controls,on two separate machines via Auto232 mode
-Even if we combine ICCR played game results by Quads/Six-Cores... in one chess engine version
-Then is appearing another Elo calculation problem:as Clemens Keck stated...some buggy mp engines will be effected from that
In my opinion,combining in one chess engine version is the right way,but only for NON-buggy MP chess engines
-But in case of combining all mp participants,then it will lead to another wrong Elo calculation results

A little note more:
-For the first time in my Computerchess life, i could not complete a project with a success

And after all: I am sorry dear Chess Friends for all that i can not continue to work over this new project

But i have good news:
-I plan to start a new Rating list (15m+10s) based on only i7 Six-core machines
Note:more info coming soon...

BTW,i stopped the current hardware Elo speed test and the results are here:

Hello Chess Friends,

For nowadays, what will be the Elo difference between Top MP Engines vs Top GM Players ?
http://www.sedatc...s-machine/

I mean,if we run Top MP Engines at 40/120 (Rybka,Houdini,Critter on latest fast hardwares)
against Top Human GM Players (e.g Kasparov,Kramnik,Carlsen,Topalov,Anand...)

1)More than 500 Elo
2)Less than 500 Elo



Thanks in advance,

Dzindzichashvili vs Rybka
4.0 - 4.0 8 games
2.5 - 1.5 4 games
http://en.wikiped...ichashvili

-----------------------------------------------------
Rybka: 4.5

http://rybkaforum...l?tid=1883

-----------------------------------------------------
Rybka: 10.0
Ehlvest: 4.0
http://en.wikiped...an_Ehlvest

-----------------------------------------------------

More Details (based on my testings):

Rybka 3 using a strong opening book performed approx. +200 Elo better than without using book
http://sedatchess...php?p=1_35

[tt]Rank Name Elo + - games score oppo. draws
01 Ultra Blitz 3 3319 23 23 560 60% 3257 50%

*Note:NoBook is empty.ctg (Rybka 3 is played without using any opening book)

-----------------------------------------------------

Rybka with Full Performance (with all pieces) performed approx. +250 Elo better
http://www.sedatc...t-auto232/

2)Private Strong Book / Endgames +150 Elo
3)Faster Hardware +150 Elo
4)Newer/Stronger version +150 Elo
5)Full Performance (with all pieces) +250 Elo
-----------------------------------------------------
FINAL CONCLUSION:
-Rybka 4.1 mp (on 2x Intel Xeon X5667 @ 4.60GHz)is expecting to be rated approx.750-800 Elo stronger than GMs of 2600 Elo points

Due to some complaints about two books by same Authors (playing in SCCT/Testo)

We (with the permission by Guido) decided to add a new rule,otherwise all these complaints will be never ended over SCCT/Testo

Since 2012,both leagues (SCCT/Testo) will accept two books by same Author

Note:both books by same Author should be completely different to each other
Plus the 2nd book should qualify from Testo Second League,i mean before to have right to play in SCCT Super League

Thank you for your understanding

Best Regards,
Sedat

Btw,i have updated the conditions with more details:

For Better Engine Performance
•MP Engines are played between each other using 6 physical cores
•Perfect 2012b’s opening lines are frequently tuned/optimized
•Adapters (Polyglot,Wb2Uci…) are not planning to be used
•Multiply Matches (running several GUIs on same PC) are not allowed
•LIVE Broadcasting Tools-Publish Tournament on WEB are not allowed
•During Matches:No any external software is running in the background
•It’s not installed any programs to tray in the Taskbar (Startup)
•The SCCT Tournament Computers are daily ShutDown
•Internet is disabled as protecting from any kind of threads
•No clicking with mouse,no typing…(when the tourney is active)

SCCT Rating’s Disadvantages
•Chess Engines are played with Ponder OFF (NON-Auto232 mode)
•Some opening lines of Perfect 2012b book still needs optimization
•Blitz time control has been used (not many high-quality games)
•For more reliable rating, more engines and games are needed
•No LIVE Broadcasting (external PC and webcam is missing)

SCCT Rating’s Advantages
•Engines are played with same time control on latest fast machines
•64 bit / SSE Engine versions have been played,using 6 physical cores
•It’s true that Ponder ON is better for Chess Engines,but note also that:
-Ponder OFF 6 core is approx. 140 Elo stronger than Ponder ON 1 core
•During matches:no external software is running (e.g LIVE tools or several GUIs…)
•As far as possible, the strongest modern openings are preferred and used

Time Control
•All games are played with same time control: 3 Minutes/Game + 2 Seconds/Move
*One of the most preferable blitz time controls, used in latest Chess Championships
•The overall time duration game length:equals to average 11 minutes per game
•Personally I’m not a big fan testing the engines with fast time controls
•Blitz games are less important and the results cannot be taken as very seriously
•But however, blitz is the most used and played time control in chess
•The main reason i use this blitz time control for the current rating is very simple:
-As a single tester,I have no enough free cpu time to create a reliable slow rating
•Plus blitz chess offers more possibilities to test many different engine versions

New Engine Update:
Ivanhoe B46fE.02

More games are needed for better conclusion

But however,Ivanhoe B46fE.02 x64 seems to be a very strong compile

As we see, the current Ivanhoe B46fE.02 results are impressive so far

My Congratulations to Ivanhoe team and Izak Pretorius!

For Current Standings:
http://www.sedatc...ct-rating/

Best Regards,

More Ivanhoe B46fE.02 x64 6c games are added

The current Ivanhoe version's start was impressive (up to 200 games),but unfortunately was not so lucky in the last 250 games

But however,as a freeware engine-very good results !

Hello Dear Friends,

I have run a new testing-played by Fruit 2.0 vs Engines (released around 2004 year)

Some Notes (if we test the engines without books):
http://www.sedatc...-no-books/

1)Fruit 2.0 test (no books):
*Fruit 2.0 and Zappa 1.0 (when Zappa is with Black pieces) have similarities in openings
*Fruit 2.0 vs Fruit 2.0, both same versions have identical opening playing style
*The rest engine openings are almost different than Fruit 2.0 opening playing style
Games:http://www.sedatc...20test.rar

2)SCCT SSE/Non-SSE test (no books):
*There are some similarities in openings, played by the Top chess engines:
- Houdini / Strelka / Komodo / Rybka / Ivanhoe / Critter / Stockfish
http://www.sedatc...se-no-sse/

3)SCCT 3 Type Tournament (no books):
*Some engines (Rybka;Glaurung;Thinker;Bright;Toga;Loop...) have similarities in openings too
http://www.sedatc...urnaments/

More Details:
*It seems many of the above engines are based on similar opening-related code
*These testings are done mainly for different purposes (not for proving which engine is a clone)
*Once more we noticed that many chess engines are each other relative
*Mostly of the played openings are far away from the current strong opening theory

Best Wishes,
Sedat Canbaz

Dear Friends,

Last Updated Engine:
Deep Fritz 13 w32 6c

SCCT Rating List:
http://www.sedatc...ct-rating/

Some Notes:
-Deep Fritz 13 performed just 12 Elo stronger than Deep Fritz 12
*I hope, Deep Fritz 13 will be ranked at higher places (after more games...)
-Houdini 2.0z test is cancelled,due to there is something wrong with its strenght
-The SCCT Rating List includes ‘No double games’ and ‘No games up 15 moves’

Sedat

Hello Dear Friends,

Nowadays there are a lot of clone/derivative/original work discussions over chess forums
That's why,this time i decided to create a different list,where all engines are played exactly at same position

Similarity Move Test Conditions:

Some Notes:
---------------
-The current test is done mainly for recognizing which engines are each other relative
-The Similarity Test can be useful about which engines use same/similar ideas as well
-Similarity Move Test is not done for proving which engines are clone/derivative/original work
-Almost all Top Engines (Houdini;Komodo;Strelka;Stockfish,Critter,Ivanhoe... prefered 'Qc7' move
-Its interesting to note that Rybka 4.1 x64 1c prefered to play 'g5' move (not sure why ?!)
-Fruit 2.1 (open source engine) prefered especially to play 'Ng6'
-Note also 'Ng6' move is the most prefered move by many chess engines
-Zappa 1.0 and Fruit 2.0 are prefered to play 'a5' move (again similarity !)
-Sjeng c't 2010;Spike 1.4;BigLion 1.8f;Junior 6;Sos 5.1 played completely different moves than all

Уважаемый Седат, на днях я прилечу в Анталию! Пока не знаю, один прилечу, или с молодой женщиной, но на днях буду! Достало меня всё, хочу на море! Анапа-Сочи-Крым- пусть идут лесом, я начинаю загранпоездки!

Седат, у меня пока некоторые трудности, сегодня договорился с одной женщиной покупать путёвку, отель, время поездки она выбирала сама, так вот, она просто .... не пришла в офис туристической компании. Я вообще ничего не понимаю... :( Подробнее я писал в закрытом разделе, у тебя доступ есть, можешь почитать подробнее.
У меня в запасе был всего один вариант (ещё только одна женщина), в ближайшие дни буду работать этот вариант, если и там глухо, то полечу один, числа 18-20 июня.
В Турции (Сиде) 17 июня будет Игорь (aka Igalex), такой шанс нельзя упускать, когда ещё мы соберём трёх человек вместе, думаю, мы встретимся втроём: Игорь, Юра, Седат и устроим международную пьянку! Седат, ты пил с русскими? :)

Мы должны были втроём встретиться, но Игорь Юркин прилетел в Сиде, должен был купить симку и сообщить мне на сайте номер, но Игорь куда то исчез. *DONT_KNOW* Встретились мы вдвоём с Седатом! Ребята, Седат- наш человек! Седат- реальный пацан! *DRINK*
Просмотрел фотографии, выбрал одну, даже не хотел показывать, на остальных фото я ещё более пьяный. *DRINK*

Уважаемый Седат, я несколько фотографий нашей встречи (пьянки) переместил в новый фотоальбом, который назвал Sedat and Kosmodrom. Если скажешь, что мы там сильно пьяные (я то точно в дрова), то удалю этот фотоальбом.
Уважаемый Седат, будешь в Москве, встретимся тоже, возможно ещё будет Makar1978 и Igalex, у нас в России тоже есть что пить! (а турецкий коньяк хороший!).

So far,the free Houdini 1.5a's performance is just great-the strongest free engine!
And Houdini 1.5.a's playing strength is almost same as the commercial Houdini 2.0c
I hope after more games...Houdini 2.0c's 25 Elo improvement will appear

Strelka 5.5 as a freeware engine (even with one core) performed very good
I expect, the Strelka MP version will be serious opponent for 1st place

Dear Friends,

I plan to create new standings,based on Top 20 engines (by using Elostat 1.3)
Note that the main rating list (by BayesElo 0056) with all versions will remain as before

For the current table,I used Houdini 2.0t3,due to its points are ranked slightly better (2.5 points higher) than Houdini 2.0z

Note also that the below standings are based on 9200 games,that means we need approx. 1300 games more
In other words,for more reliable standings.... we need at least one week to complete the full table

Btw,the new Houdini settings (Higgs and s2) will be started testing,when each participant will have 1000 games per player



Kind Regards,
Sedat

---

Dear Friends,

Some Notes:
-Gull II beta2 x64 6c is already completed and its rank is 8th place
-Note also the new SCCT - Top 20 is already availale online too

Some Notes:
-I receive oftenly mails/interests by different users,about testing their Houdini settings in SCCT
*And due to i have no much free CPU time, SCCT has already a new rule:
-Since today (28.07.2012) serious data-minimum 1.000 games is required
*I need a such confirmation that those new settings should be least 20 Elo stronger than Houdini 2.0c default
*Note:Game results,played with ultra-fast time controls will be not accepted as serious data

Thanks for your understandings!

Attention:
-For clarification minimum 1.000 games is needed
-The modified Houdini's Elo performance should at least 20 Elo stronger than Houdini 2.0c default
-The Houdini testings should be played at Blitz or Slow time controls (min 3min or at least 2min+2sec is required)
-The chess engines should be tested with strong openings,maximum up to 10-12 moves
*Note that this new rule is for people, who has interest to participate with Houdini settings in SCCT


One thing more,
The opponents (in your testings) should not be based only on Houdini versions
I mean you need to test your Houdini against various Top engines (e.g Critter,Stockfish,Rybka,Komodo,Ivanhoe...)
Note also that 1.000 games per player only Houdini vs Houdini can lead to misunderstanding results

And Last,
Without such serious data (games) and confirmation,SCCT will not accept/start testing any new Houdini settings...

Thanks in advance for your understanding,

Best,
Sedat

Hello Chess Friends,


Last Engine Uptates:
Houdini 2.0t3 Pc x64 6c
Rybka 4.1 79DT v1 x64 6c
Houdini 2.0Bar2 x64 6c
Bouquet 1.4 x64 6c

Conditions:
http://www.sedatc...ss/2838-2/

Games:
http://www.sedatc...t_3m2s.rar

Some Notes:
-Houdini 2.0t3 Pc x64 6c is same version as Houdini 2.0t3 Pro x64 6c,just this time is played with another new book-Perfect 2012c
*Actually during the current Houdini 2.0t3 Pc x64 6c test,all its opponents used same Perfect 2012c book too
-Looking at the current early results,it seems the various openings and shorter lines did not make a BIG negative influence over its performance
*But anyway,for a better conclusion: we need more games,probably this number of games between 1000-2000 games will be enough data
-Rybka 4.1 79DT v1 x64 6c is performed slightly better than default,but of course to be sure more games are required...
-I noticed also that in other testings (Non-SCCT results),there are some different standings (e.g i mean especially for Houdini settings)
-From my experience i can say that such different performance is appearing is not due to 95% confidence of error margin or we need at least 5.000 games and so on
*Sure more games is better,but i highly doubt that SCCT standings will be changed a lot,e.g i mean about after 5.000 games player


In other words,
*Of course I can be wrong...but however i have a little bit experience in Computerchess (10 years as Book Maker and 15 years as Tester)
And i strongly believe in that:
-Some SCCT Participants performed higher or lower than others,due to my used conditions are completely different than all available testings



Kind Regards,
Sedat

Rybka 4.1 NO-SSE Test is over:



Some Notes:
Even after 1500 games per player,
Rybka 4.1 No-SSE version performed with same Elo difference as before:just one (1) Elo less than Rybka 4.1 SS4.2
*Note also that Rybka NO-SSE version (at 1000 games per player) was scored with same Elo difference

This test (playing 500 games more) was useful also about SCCT's Elo bar error margins
As we see.... mostly of the participants Elo difference (Error bar margins) dont change a lot...
That Elo difference is going mainly around minus plus approx.3-5 Elo points and rarely 5-10 Elo points
*Note:i mean for Elo error margins especially for after 1000 games per player

Dear Chess Experts,



I wonder a lot about:
-Why Deep Shredder 12's performance suffer in SCCT competitions ?
-Is there is something wrong in my used test engine conditions ?
*Or maybe,the reasons are my used hardwares or my opening books or ... ?!
*Or DS12's low performance can be due to Elo error bar margins ?

Or Who Knows ?!
Perhaps SCCT does not serve reliable data and i need to:
- switch to 1 core engine testings ?

Some notes about DS12's conditions in SCCT:
-Played with Opening Advise OFF
-Played mainly under Fritz GUIs
-Used Perfect 2012 book series
-Played with 6 cores on my i7 6-core machines

*For full details about SCCT conditions:
http://www.sedatcanbaz.com/chess/2838-2/

*Its interesting to note also,
In some other test conditions (NON-SCCT),DS12 engine performs much better than SCCT !

For example,here are available some Elo comparisons between Deep Shredder 12 and Zappa Mexico II
*Note also that Spike 1.4 Leiden,Spark 1.0,Deep Junior 13.3... performed better than DS12 (in SCCT)
Where exactly these engines are rated lower than DS12 in some other testings (Non-SCCT results)

A few calculations more...

For more reliable data,this time i preferred to use Hiarcs 13.2 chess engine

And as we see...again DS12 6 cores has the lowest performance in SCCT (as before)
It seems, (especially on AMD platforms) DS12 on single core testings is performing much better

Hello Dear Friends,

I am back again after a short break (i was 3 days om holiday)
Normally i planned to be at least 7-10 days on vacation,but...

Btw,I've started a new hardware/time control speed measuring

So the current played results are available under below link:
http://www.sedatc...-25m2s-1c/

Games:
http://www.sedatc...e_2012.rar

Some Notes:
-For better conclusion,we need more games...

But however,
I should admit that i am very much surprised by the current played results
Deep Rybka 4.1 x64 6c 3m+2s's performance is just superior so far...
As we see, even after 29 games,Rybka 4.1 x64 6c 3m+2s has no any single defeat

To be honest,
I expected almost same equal playing strength between 3m+2s 6c vs 25m+2s 1c
*Probably, 40/120 1c is required over 3m+2s 6c :)

It seems:
1)Rybka MP scaling is very good and definitely i can say for chess:
- 'The more cores, the better'
2)This short test indicates that SCCT 3m+2s 6c played games are not too bad in quality

One thing more,
I think this saying suits for the current issue:
There is always strength in numbers.
-Unknown

For more details about why i started mainly this test,please read:
http://rybkaforum...?tid=25590

More results coming soon !

Greetings,
Sedat

---

SCCT hardware/time control test is already over!

A few notes more about the current issue:

This test was useful especially for me

I've got the needed information (data) ...

And once more i'd like to point out that:
-I am very glad with the current used SCCT conditions:
http://www.sedatc...ss/2838-2/

Its interesting to note also that:
-Komodo 4 x64 1 core with slower time control performs better than blitz
-It seems,single core testings require slow time controls for better and quality games

Dear Chess Friends,

SCCT Super Book League III is planning to be played

But unfortunately i can not promise:
1)LIVE Broadcasting
2)Tournament start date/duration can be continued more than expected
3)Probably SCCT Super Book League III will the last one (i don't want to promise for the next SCCT Super Book Leagues)

*The reason:
-Due to nowadays i have no much free time for chess

One thing more,
The book registration date is same:
• Opening Book Registrations:16-20 September 2012

But as i mentioned before,
I will run SCCT Super Book League III... only when i will have free time

Thanks for your understanding!

Best Wishes,
Sedat Canbaz

---

Dear Friends,

Sorry for the late replay, but as i mentioned before really i am too busy nowadays...
Yes, i will keep my word and i will do my best to complete this tour

The current book competition is still not started...
Still i am not sure exactly when will be the tournament start date
Till now i've already downloaded 12 new books and still waiting for some books
But however,please dont delete the book links till the tournament start date

IMPORTANT:
Unforunately so far no any registration from Marco Zabinati (Winbook Pro)
And in case of no regisrtaration in 1-3 days by Marco Zabinati,
then probably i will include Don book in the current SCCT III

A note for those who still did not send their books:
-Be in hurry please and send your books as soon as possible...
*Note Only the qualified opening books will be participated !

More info coming in the next days...

Prostite menya, negramotnogo, a chto znachat eti zyfry?

Юра, ты отстал от жизни! :)
Это кусочек кода из файла Houdini.exe, в нем содержится множество настроек движка.

---

Прочитал рыбкафорум. всё равно ничего не понял, что это за код и куда его вставлять. :)

---

Разобрался! Kayra2- это гудини с изменёнными параметрами! Моё имхо- ерунда это всё на постном масле! Я помню ещё танцы с бубном со времён настройки Shredder-9, когда изменяешь параметры, надеясь на усиление игры, а выходит только хуже!

---

Нет, в блице Гудини с изменёнными параметрами может играть сильнее, чем обычный. Это не только моё "имхо", это подтверждают тесты Седата, и большинство сильных игроков Плайчесса уже давно играют изменённым Гудини, в том числе Komaha и Kerch :).

---

Da !

Уважаемый Седат, почитай наш закрытый раздел, там страсти горят! Уважаемый Седат, а ты бы не хотел попробовать сыграть по переписке? Corrchess? За нашу команду! Было бы неплохо: команда "Спартак"- двое россиян, украинец и гражданин Турции!

Уважаемые друзья,

После долгого времени паузы (около 1,5 года) я вернулся снова в ComputerChess!
Конечно, я постараюсь сделать все возможное для шахмата ...
Но тем не менее, я не могу обещать, что мои деятельность будет так активно, как раньше
Отметим также, что я буду в основном активным на Talkchess и Рыбка форумах
* В связи с того что еще у меня нет много времени для шахмата

Кстати, вот последние новости о моих шахматных деятельности:

The current registered opening books!!
Which are planning to be as participants very soon:



More Details:
- If anyone's registered opening book is missing in the table, please inform me...
- Probably there will be more participants in the next hours (due to several delay reasons...)
* That's why the tournament start day probably will be on 16.05.2014
- Unfortunately this time I can't provide the tournament in LIVE, due to I have no external PC...
- I plan to use same stockfish_14051110_x64_modern_sse42 for all books, who requested Stockfish...
- As I mentioned before, for all ctg books will be used same settings: optimized 0/100
- Mostly of the book registrations are going mainly for Stockfish (only a few for Houdini)
* Unfortunately so far no any book resgistration for Gull, Komodo and Rybka
- I've got an email from Mr. Jatt, where he promised to give a prize for the next SCCT Book Champion !!


One thing more,
As before in SCCT, I noticed so far for the current tour, there are a lot registrations by super strong book authors
I am not going to count which are those famous authors, becouse I am afraid to miss to mention some of them... )) !!
But durring or in the end of the competition I will publshed the full list with all author names!

Yes... the real Arena is coming very very soon !!!!!!


Have fun,
Sedat

Hello there,

While waiting for some SCCT book registrations... I have just created a new Playchess ranking, played on the latest 5 months...

And my congratulations to DeepBlueOcean! He has the best performance (latest 5 months) on Playchess server!




Some Notes:
•The Rating is based mainly on games played by Sockfish, Houdini, Komodo; min 200 games with different time controls
•The Ranking provides quite a bit of useful information,it gives a good indication of who are the strongest book users !
•There are 2 main important factors for getting a high Elo: very strong book and very fast hardware is needed as well
•DeepBlueOcean’s hardware used on Playchess Server: Unknown
•The RatingList is based on 154799 games, played on latest 5 months (between Desember-April 2014)
•All games have been played with Ponder ON; MP Engines have been used mainly 4/6/12 ets.. cores
•Playchess Database contains no double games and no games up to 22 moves
•The Rating list is created by Bayeselo Chess Program, starting elo calculation:3400
•Playchess Rating Database's Source: The Sicilian forum / Chess Gladiators site

New Update:
-Mostly of the SCCT participated books are private (not available for downloading)
-The overall participant list includes only 1 (one) opening book version per Author
-Since 2007, so far 206 (two hundred and six) Authors are participated in SCCT
-Exception a few Authors, almost all were as registered opening book participants
-And probably more than 1000 (one thousand) different books I have tested so far

Note also that for each book version preparation (downloading,configurations etc...),
I spend manually approx. 30 minutes, even I don't count the CPU time... !

There is a lot of interest about SCCT to be in LIVE,
So I decided to look and check more carefully over this issue...

Normally,
I know very well that providing the games directly in LIVE is very exiting and interesting...

But however,
Unfortunately there will be no SCCT LIVE, due to I am very disappointed from the below results:

Fritz Benchmark:



Stockfish Benchmark:


Note: The LIVE tool bench speed comparison is done via YouTube LIVE + Firefox Browser
As I expected, very low values! and as we see the chess speed difference is approx. 25 %
Plus we can't be sure how much the chess engines are affecting from those LIVE tools?!

Note also that for maximum performance and strength,
All previous SCCT LIVE tournaments are provided via external PC

Nowadays, I have only 2 tournament PCs (no external 3rd computer in the same room)

And I strongly believe in that (for better strength and more quality games),
The LIVE Broadcasting should be done via external PC
I mean, the LIVE tool should not be broadcasting from the same tournament PC !

In other words,
I don't want to loose the quality of SCCT played games....
And instead of beauty...we should concentrate on performance and strength!!


Best,
Sedat
