SPCC: 750000 clicks and a new tool released

[pohl4711]

My website reached 750000 clicks/visits !!!
I never expected so much interest in my little website and my computerchess-projects...

As a gift for the computerchess-community, I release a new tool: The Interesting Wins Search Tool.
https://www.sp-cc.de/files/interesting_ ... ch_tool.7z

The 2 output-files of the IWS-Tool contain different types of wins:
interesting_wins.pgn contains:
1) Queen Sacrifices, followed by
2) 5+ PawnUnit Sacrifices, followed by
3) 4 PawnUnit Sacrifices, followed by
4) 3 PawnUnit Sacrifices, followed by
5) 2 PawnUnit Sacrifices, followed by
6) 1 PawnUnit Sacrifices, followed by
7) Games, ended before endgame (material) was reached, followed by
8) Games with material imbalance (Rook vs. Bishop and 2 pawns for example)
very_interesting_wins.pgn contains: same as above, but without category 6 and 8, because, if the IWS-Tool is used on huge databases, the interesting_wins.pgn-file can be very huge, too.

The games in the output-files are sorted in 2 ways:
First: The games are sorted by categories (category 1 is followed by category 2, 3, ... etc.).
Second: In each category, the games are sorted by length (0-19 moves, followed by 20-29 moves, followed by 30-39 moves... and so on, up to 120 moves and beyond). So, in each category, the shortest wins are at the beginning and followed by the longer wins...
And each games gets a new Annotator-Tag, so it is clear, which category the game belongs to.
The IWS-Tool does not output any statistics, because I wanted the tool to be as fast as possible.
And - believe me - it is VERY fast! Filtering my SPCC-ratinglist gamebase, which contains 193000 games, only takes around 3 minutes on a modern PC (!!!). If you are interested in statistics, you can, of course, use my other free tools: EAS-Tool, Sacrifice Games Search Tool and Short Games Analyzer Tool.
So, the IWS-Tool can be used to filter all interesting games out of each pgn-database very quickly in a single pgn-file, cotaining the interesting wins very well sorted and annotated.

Congratulations.
It is hopeful that chess lovers show such intense interest in chess engine tests. With the unbalanced opening book tests, we witness interesting matches with much less boring draws.

Yes, in CCC engine tournaments on chess.com for example. And my UHO openings are used by many engine developers, too... (Stockfish, KomodoDragon, Ethereal and many more).
