CCRL 40/40, 40/4 and FRC lists updated (22nd September 2018)

Post by Graham Banks »

The latest CCRL Rating Lists and Statistics are available for viewing from the following links:
http://computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/4040/ (40/40)
http://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/404/ (40/4)
http://www.computerchess.org.uk/ccrl/404FRC/ (FRC 40/4)

When i see FRC tournament mentioned, i go crazy with excitement.
But that excitement is mainly about one thing, which is if there.can be a compilation of opening theory for each of the 959 starting positions, especially if it is composed by the greatest engines on the fastest hardware and longest time controls.
There should be a book with a page or two on each starting position. Maybe a few volumes altogether, with human and computer insights and analysis on each.

If it would get updated due to greater computer elo, it need not be sooner than once every 5 years, maybe even 7-10 years.
