Tester comments : Daniel Charles : 

This time Sheebar.ctg won, this book is from Aung Thura ( 525 Mo!!!)  very impressive performance 27.5/40 !!!

2 nd my small book engine.ctg (18 mo :D ), maybe again a lucky 2nd place for the second times :D , I expected my computer.ctg perform better than engine.ctg.... :(

This time Takker Books didn t win but show strong performance with the 3rd and 4th place . All William Fuller books' are very good.

5th my computer.ctg ... it perform below my expectation (however, this books is very young 2 weeks .... and It needs to be more tuned for the next time )

6th The turk.ctg from Pr Vidanovic , this one is a very strong and respected book 

7th  Paradigm.ctg from Dr Wael Deeb , this time paradigm.ctg did a lot better than expected , it show some good opening and was the only book that won against the sheebar.ctg book !!!

8th Fritz 9 book is a very famous and strong book, good for both side

9th Perfect 11 from Sedat Candaz , his book is from GM over 2650 elo, very good to test eng vs eng

10 th Gen 18 from Norm Pollock , this is a solid and good book for medium and long games

11 th  perfect12.ctg didn t do a good tournament , It was strange that the book perform below perfect11.ctg ??  I think it was just bad luck and the book should be better .

In this tournament there are 2 new UCI engines(Pupsi ,Rival 1.14.2) +3 UCI just updated (Freechess 2.16, Feuirstein 4.5b1, Firefly 2.15 )

Pupsi won  this tournament. This is very good for a new UCI engine.

Adam Tie for the 1st place

3rd Smash , It was a good tournament for Smash. I think that Smash on a smp computer should be better

Smash and Firefly did a good tournament . The new Feuirstein beta did a tournament below the level of the old one .

Rival 1.14.2 UCI improve from the last open

Tester comments : Denis Mendoza

Zappa proved again that it’s still the best in his league capturing 1st place with 13.0 pts. (with surprising losses to Snitch and Amyan). Yace played a better game this time snatching 2nd place with 11.5 points followed by Pepito and Deep Frenzee respectively on half point increments. These three warriors maintained their status as main contenders of the league. 5th to 10th places were only separated by a 1.5-pt margin. Snitch took last place but credits to his double wins with 5th placer Aice. Snitch also had an 8-move loss on time (braindead?) – a rare phenomena experienced by some engines. But overall, the engines performance level improved this time because of the smaller gap between the top and last place warriors. Zappa will definitely be the top choice for the Silver League.

Tester comments : Gajendra Singh:

Crafty overcame a 2 points deficit ( assisted by a near total collapse by Petir towards the end ) to win the tournament . E T Chess too finished strongly to beat Anmon to third place . First three finishers are promoted to the second division.

Tester comments :  Daniel Charles :

For the Final for this mini Open for December , time was 5mn+5s (10 mn), I add Movei 397 UCI and Pro Deo (Wb)

Rybka 1.0 is really the King of free UCI engine and simply king of free chess engine.Rybka was one more time outstanding with 16.5pts /18 !!!! Congratulation to Rybka and his author Vasik Rajlich

Toga came second with 13.5/18 , It was expected like Toga is simply the only free chess engine with rybka 1.0 to have a rating over 2800 elo .

Spike 1.2 completed the top 3 podium .Spike was the only one who beat Rybka 1.0 . Unfortunately Spike lost vs Toga & a surprising Ruffian.

4 chess engines shared the 4th place .If GB Fruit and his old brother Fruit 2.1 used to be among the top 6 free UCI engines , It was really a surprise to see Ruffian and especially Aristarch so high.

It is usual to see Glaurung and Naum in the top 10, SOS did a very good tournament, even better than expectation.

Pro Deo is a very good wb chess engine , 11th is a good performance if we consider that it was a very strong free engine open.

Zappa with time control 5+5 is a lot better than 4+2. Pharaon didn't show in this tournament that it belongs to the top 12 free UCI engine.

Movei 397 didn't do a good tournament (only shared the 20 th place), I think his real level should be with the top 15 free UCI engine.

Boot 4.12 played vs a very strong field and it was difficult for Boot.

Tester comments : Denis Mendoza

This time Rybka dominated with an impressive 13 pts, followed by the three Fruit engines (Fruit 2.1, TogaII, and GambitFruit respectivel). Though Glaurung just lurks near the shadows of the Fruit engines with 9.0 pts, same is true with the likes of Ruffian and Spike Turin. Glaurung, Ruffian and SlowBlitz showed some promising moves to improve their ranks, but the worst scenario came into the hands of Naum 2.0 which finished last together with List. At least Naum  could do is win a 35-move (A55-Old Indian Defence) with our 1st placer Rybka. Statistically, The Harry Schnapp 7-move opening lines seems to favor Rybka and the Fruit engines, not with the likes of the newly released Naum 2.0. Better luck next time!
