Hello Friends,

SCCT PlayChess 2009:
http://www.sedatchess.com/playchess2009.html

Some Notes:
*The playchess ratinglist is created mainly due to:
1)I don't test the Perfect books on SCCT book tourneys,thats why i preferred to test my books on PlayChess,
where it's a neutral place for testing engines and books
2)The strong opening book and fast hardware play very important role for getting a high elo rating
*The standing is based mainly on Rybka 3 engines,played with different time controls/ hardwares.
*The playchess rating list is created by EloStat 1.3,starting elo calculation:3200 ,min 20 games per player
*For a better conclusion about the strongest book users,it's needed at least 300-400 games per player
*Please don't take seriously the user's standing which are less than 50 games per player
*Rybka 3 includes all versions:Default,Dynamic,Human,960
*SedatChess's hardware used on Playchess server: i7 920 @4.00GHz
*The Gladiator's hardware used on Playchess server: QX9650 @3.83GHz
*Rybka 3's Elo difference between i7 920 @4.00GHz and QX9650 @3.83GHz is approx. 50 Elo
*Blue Names:The Engines which have been tested with Perfect 16 book


Btw,i plan to re-run the same engines but this with own books and its will be very helpful for any recomendations of which opening books to use for Rybka 3,Naum 4,Stockfish 1.5

For example currently i test Zappa Mexico II with ZapChess.ctg on playchess server

Kind Regards,
