Well, I started to receive registrations (especially SF derivatives) for upcoming WSET

To be honest,
I don't want to not make any double standard to anyone..
And due to no much free time to include all derivatives

There will be a new rule:
Round-Robin (4 rounds) by derivative engines
Time control is planning to be 3min+2sec
The winner will be qualified to play in WSET 2015

Some of the participants, which will be in the qualification league:
Al Qahtani 160815 MP x64
DON 220615 MP x64
KingAsad D100815 MP x64
Shark 150715 MP x64
SF Serpent MP x64
Sting SF 5 x64
StockfishTS 050815 MP x64
SugaR PrO 1.0 MP x64
Synapse RZ3 MP x64  

About some Ippo derivatives,
The strongest IPPO engine is Houdini 4 (it is not required to be run another qualification test...)
Note also that I plan to include only one derivative per based engine

Good luck to all...

Best,
Sedat

WSET's Match System for Octa-Final, Semi-Final, Final Round/s:
The knockout rounds will consist of 1 game (per match), but in case of draw game:
A match of 1 game will be played (with same slow time control and reversed colors)
If the 2nd game will be ended draw, a match of 4 games will be played with 15 Min + 10 Sec
In case of the result is still drawn, a match of 2 games will be played with 3 Min + 2 Sec

So whoever performs with more points (in the Final), will be crowned as WSET Champion of 2015!

Note also that the reigning WSET Champion 2014 is Stockfish, for more details:
http://www.sedatcanbaz.com/chess/?page_id=740

One thing more,
I see WSET Championship 2015 to be similar as World Boxing Council (WBC)
With Knockout, if you make a single mistake, that's it; game is over !)

Have fun,
Sedat

WSET 2015  - first round has been completed, games:
http://www.sedatcanbaz.com/chess/games/WSET2015.rar

Just 'd like to point out regarding WSET's match system for the first rounds;
The 1st rounds will consist of 1 game (per match), but in case of draw game:
A match of 1 game will be played more (with same slow time control)
If the 2nd game will be ended as draw, a match of 4 games will be played with 3 Min + 2 Sec
In case of the result is still drawn, a match of 2 games will be played with 3 Min + 2 Sec etc...
So whoever performs with more points, will be qualified into the next round (level)

More Details,
So far, there are 10 games, which are ended as draw, that means 31 %
Atlas 3.80 x64 1 core vs The King 3.50 x64 6 cores  (1-0)
Quazar 0.4 x64 1 core vs Gaviota 1.0 x64 6 cores (1-0)
Jonny 4.00 x64 6 cores vs Ktulu 9 1 core (draw)
Sometimes, more cores do not mean stronger... !)
Surprisingly, Arasan 18 x64 6 cores vs Tornado 5 x64 6 cores (0-1)
As I expected, Ginkgo 1.0e x64 6 cores vs Protector 1.8.0 x64 6 cores (draw)

Round 1.1 (Qualification matches; which are ended as draw in 1st round)

RedQueen 1.1.97 MP x64 eliminates Frenzee v3.5.19 x64
Shredder 12 MP x64 eliminates Fritz 10.1 MP    
Chiron 2 MP x64 eliminates SmarThink 1.70 x64

Hakkapeliitta 3.0 x64 eliminates Pedone 1.2 MP x64
Protector 1.8.0 MP x64 eliminates Ginkgo 1.0e MP x64
DiscoCheck 5.2 x64 eliminates Scorpio 2.77 MP x64     
Nirvana 2.1c MP x64 eliminates Hiarcs 14 MP    
Jonny 4.00 MP x64 eliminates Ktulu 9

A few notes about the round 1.1,
Here my credits are going especially for Hakkapeliitta's author
It is not so easy as it looks to win with 1 core over 6 cores
Actually this is known issue, e.g many mp engines suffer with more cores
*Especially with 12 cores and above...
However...I hope to see all engines as MP, but with a good scaling !)
Because usually more cores + slower time controls perform better...!

Round 2

Senpai 1.0 MP x64 eliminates DiscoCheck 5.2 x64
Tornado 5.0 MP x64 eliminates MinkoChess 1.3 MP x64
Houdini 4 MP x64 eliminates Toga II 280513 MP x64
Hannibal 1.5 MP x64 eliminates The Baron 3.29 MP x64
Texel 1.05 MP x64 eliminates Hakkapeliitta 3.0 x64
Synapse RZ4 WSET MP x64 eliminates Gull 3 MP x64
Spike 1.4 MP eliminates Protector 1.8.0 MP x64
Spark 1.0 MP x64 eliminates Quazar 0.4 x64
Fire 4 MP x64 eliminates Shredder 12 MP x64
Shark 150815 MP x64 eliminates Rybka 4.1 MP x64
Atlas 3.80 x64 eliminates Nirvana 2.1c MP x64
Komodo 9.1 MP x64 eliminates Alfil 15.07 MP x64
Stockfish 170815 MP x64 eliminates Godel 3.4.9 x64
Fizbo 1.5 MP x64 eliminates Sjeng WC2008 MP x64
Chiron 2 MP x64 eliminates RedQueen 1.1.97 MP x64
Andscacs 0.82 MP x64 eliminates Jonny 4.00 MP x64

More details about round 2,
Again...Atlas 3.80 x64 1 core (even as Blacks) defeated Nirvana 2.1c x64 6 cores
Special congratulations to Atlas's author...impressive..!!
Not bad performance by Tornado 5 MP x64 so far...
*Very sad that Engin Üstün canceled working over Tornado's project
Synapse RZ4 WSET MP x64 seems to be a serious candidate to be as champion
Surprisingly, Protector 1.8.0 MP x64 lost (against Spike 1.4 MP)...I expected just opposite
No surprise that Rybka 4.1 MP x64 was eliminated by Shark 150815 MP x64
Note that Shark 150815 is highly based on latest releases of Stockfish
Yes...my congratulations to all qualified participants !
But however, Win or Lose:
It's not so important, it's how many people remember you efforts for chess !

Hello Chess Friends,

WSET 2015 (Semi-Final) - Qualified Participants:
http://www.sedatcanbaz.com/chess/?page_id=2178

More Details:
First of all, I'd like to congratulate all players...!!
No BIG surprise that the current four engines are qualified to the semi-finals
Note that finely, Atlas is eliminated by Komodo, but however even with 1 core:
Atlas managed to draw the 1st game over K91 6 cores, plus if we compare the Elo of both engines
And to be honest, that means a lot for me...!
Yes..really I wonder a lot, who will be WSET champion, very hard to guess, let's see...

Regards,
Sedat

Hello there,

Houdini is eliminated, so Komodo is the qualified player for the FINAL !
My special congratulations to Komodo team !!

About Stockfish vs Synapse match,
The semi-final's result is still not clear...
The 1st game ended as draw, 2nd game is still active...
Note that both engines are using the same opening (reversed colors)

Synapse won with a score 4.5 - 3.5 (on extra games)
Firstly a match of 2 games are played (300 Min +30 Sec with reversed colors),
Where both games are ended as draw, later a match of 4 games are played (15 Min + 10 Sec with reversed colors),
The results were still drawn, finely Synapse won in a match of 2 games (3 Min + 2 Sec with reversed colors)
Unfortunately, this time the reigning WSET Champion 2014 (Stockfish) lost its title...
To be honest, since a long time, I have never seen such exiting engine tournament!
And very soon I plan to start WSET 2015's Final : Komodo vs Synapse

FINAL (600 Min +30 Sec) - The Current Position after 12 Moves

Details:
The semi-finalists, finalist used to play under Arena 3 GUI, due to I set giant slow time controls
In this way, e.g in case of power cut: I can resume the game, exactly at that position...
Because Arena GUI has a superior option: it saves current game after every played move
Also I have another possibility, to copy/paste and to publish the current position over chess forums
I set openings (based on Perfect 2015x book) up to 5-6 moves for the quarter-finals, final
Probably the current game will take approx. 1 (one) day...
And depending on my free time...I plan to make often updates

Good luck to both engine teams !)

FINAL (600 Min +30 Sec) - The 1st game ended as draw after 33 moves

Well, the first final game is ended earlier than expected...
The opening is D43 Semi-Slav (e.g Komodo preferred 6.h6)

About the second final game,
Synapse preferred D44 Semi-Slav ( 6. dxc4), so this time I expect to see a different game...

WSET 2015's Final (600 Min + 30 Sec) - Komodo vs Synapse

It seems,
Komodo has really a very BIG chance to be the champion !

According to my experience,
Usually the latest top engines suffer (as Blacks) with D44 Semi-Slav
That's why D44 is not allowing for playing in Perfect 2015 books
Note that I set a short line: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 d5 4. Nc3 c6
So..I am not the reason about why Synapse preferred D44 Semi-Slav
For example, Komodo preferred D43 with playing 6.h6 (during his turn)

And after all,
I am not much surprised that the current score is in favor for Komodo

BTW,
Here is the current position after 23 moves:

Some statistics about WSET 2015 played games

The Shortest Wins:
1)Rhetoric 1.4 x64 vs Fizbo 1.5 MP x64  0-1 (Fizbo as Blacks wins after 29 moves)
*The opening is A34 English: it is too risky and dangerous for both sides

2)Komodo 9.1 MP x64 vs Senpai 1.0 MP x64  1-0 (Komodo as Whites wins after 34 moves)
*The opening is D47: Semi Slav (well-balanced for both sides, in case of near Elo strength)
* And I think that the power of Komodo played the biggest role

3)Komodo 9.1 MP x64 vs Atlas 3.80 x64 1-0 (Komodo as Whites wins after 34 moves)
*The opening is A33 English: In my opinion it is a strong opening for both sides
*I noticed that, Atlas missed to play 10.Bc5, this is the reason about why Atlas lost in short moves...

----------------------------------

The Longest Wins:
1)Andscacs 0.82 MP x64 vs Chiron 2 MP x64  1-0  (Andscacs as Whites wins after 243 moves)
*The opening is B67...sometime some Top engines (as Blacks) suffer with this opening

2)Synapse RZ4 WSET MP x64 vs Stockfish 170815 MP x64  1-0 (Synapse as Whites wins after 136 moves)
The opening is C11: French, it is risky opening (e.g similar to be risky as B67 Sicilan)
Both engines are tested twice with the same opening C11, where Synapse managed to draw...

3)Hannibal 1.5 MP x64 vs Octochess 5190 MP x64 1-0 (Hannibal as Whites wins after 109 moves)
The opening is E59: Nimzo-Indian (balanced opening for both sides, in case of near Elo strength)
*And I think that here the strength of Hannibal played the main role about why...

ECO C =     29 Games (25.0 %)
ECO D =     38 Games (32.8 %)
ECO E =      6 Games ( 5.2 %)

The overall draw percentage is approx. 40%
And who said that Perfect book's opening lines are too drawish ?)
The number of draws percentage looks good...of course it is due to the Elo differences...
