Information out of one ReadMe-file in the download:
This openings-sets collection contains 4 different openings concepts:
Drawkiller V4, No Black Short Castling V2, No Black Castling V2 and Unbalanced Human Openings V3. Additionally, the download contains the tools, which are needed for the Armageddon- and my Advanced Armageddon-rescoring of results.
Drawkiller, NBSC and NBC were remastered, which means, all endpositions were re-evaluated with KomodoDragon 1.0 (15 seconds/ position on a Quadcore PC) and the openings-sets were complete rebuilt. Additionally, Drawkiller openings now contain some unbalanced opening-sets, too (inspired by the Unbalanced Human Openings concept). Read more in the ReadMe-file in the Drawkiller-folder.
For UHO (Unbalanced Human Openings) V3 all endpositions of the raw-data of UHO V2 with an eval of at least +0.60 for white were re-evaluated on a 12core AMD Ryzen PC with 30 seconds per endposition, which means, that the eval of the UHO V3 endpositions is based on (around) 10x more calculated nodes than in UHO V2. That gives a search depth around 28-30 plies in UHO V3, which is around 4-5 plies deeper than in UHO V2 (!!!). Additionally, the UHO V3 opening-sets now contain not only one, but 7 UHO-openings sets with increasing advantage for white (from +0.90 up to +1.50). Read more in the ReadMe-file in the UHO-folder.
I believe, this opening collection with 4 different opening concepts is giving the perfect solution for all purposes in computerchess: Unbalanced Human Openings are 100% human chess moves - nothing else. Drawkiller is 100% constructed, non-human, for the best statistical results (take a look at the Drawkiller unbalanced test-results - just mind-blowing!). NBSC/NBC openings are in between: Half constructed and half human (a move-line, which forbids black castlings, is added to human played openings). All these openings are classical chess, no chess variant (like Chess960), because all lines start from the classical chesss starting position. So, all these openings can be used by all chessengines and chessGUIs on the planet!
Here the testing results with long thinking-time and comparsion with 6 classical openings-sets. I think, the results speak for themselves...But take a look at the results of my new Drawkiller unbalanced openings: Just mind-blowing!
