Tester comments : |
I did some preliminary test and Takker III scored 75 to
80% vs medium strength opening book
(paradigm,Hs,Mix18,I-base,perfect9....). That s why I
took only the strongest book against Takker III beta. I
took perfect 12 because I was surprised by his strength
in the preliminary test, probably Sedat Candaz best book
ever that I test for Fritz GUI
William fuller (Takker) book is very strong, this
beta book won the book tournament. This book is very
impressive , scored 72.5 % perfect 12, 75% vs the Turk,
60 % vs Fritz9book. Really the strongest book I ever
tested for online games & blitz .
Engine book, I didn t expected that the book come
second ,Maybe it was lucky (because i m not an opening
book author and won't be). this a very small book only
12 Mo (100 % engines and probably 90% Rybka and average
2750 elo (online players) :D). Thanks to William & Dagh
(their 2 teams were finalist in the last Pal/Css) for
their advices and some strong online engine room players
for their .pgn. This book will be release probably end
December, beginning January. I will try to have a 20 Mo
opening book & tuned the book a little bit more.
Perfect 12 is a strong book, it only lose the
match vs Takker & draw strong book like Fritz 9 and The
Turk and of beat the engine book . If you didn t have
this book, I recommend you to download this good &
strong opening book. Probably the winner if Takker Book
didn t play this tourney
Fritz 9 is probably one of the best commercial
opening book. It scored well with white. We will see
soon if the Fritz 10 opening book is better .
The Turk book is a strong book. It was in the top 3
in my last 2 tournaments. It beat one more time Fritz 9
book and draw perfect 12, unfortunately it lost too much
points vs Takker & engine book. I was a little bit
disappointed because Pr Vidanovic book is one of my
favorite opening book.

Tester comments : |
Takker tourbook won again the book tournament . this
is the 3 rd time for Takker Tourbook (1 with Vigi
Varkley+ 2 with superchessengine :D ) and good
news , this book is free :D
Fritz 9 tournament book is a good book , It finished
2nd ... However , F9 book is not free .It scored well
with the 2 colors .
The Turk Book is a excellent book for online
tournament , it was doing good against F9 book (52.5%)
Paradigm was neither bad or good with each color ...
It could be a solid book for long time control
Gen 18 was doing good, just 0.5 pts behind paradigm
!!! No super killer move, it looks like solid for an
opening book, even if gen18 with white side is
slightly better than with black side
A simple remark with "No Opening book" don't expect
to win against a strong opening book :D
Thanks to all opening books authors who spent time to
hand tuned the book and to offer free opening book to
chess engine fans. |
