Note also that,
So far not too bad performance by CEGT, SCCTe, CCRL books too
Because I've spent O (zero) time during creating them...)!
In shortly, I just imported the played games....

BTW, I think this tournament should not be forgotten because,
Also I plan to include Deep Junior 8 in the current competition
Note: Junior MP engine will participate with a decent book, based on approx. 2700 Elo 50.000 GMs games, up to 25 moves
For better performance, I optimized Junior 8 MP's playing opening style, e.g I enabled only Junior 8 wins played in serious tournaments...
The reason about why I plan to include Junior 8 MP is that, I wonder what will the Elo difference...
Plus as far as I know, Deep Junior 8 is on level as many Top Grandmasters average 2800 Elo...
For example, still it's in my mind the duel between Kasparov vs Deep Junior 8, which is ended 3-3 draw (2003)
And as I mentioned before, nowadays we can not see a real duel GMs against Top Chess engines...
At least this exiting tour will give us a little bit info...in case of similar match what will be the performance )!
For example, many chess engine rating creators give very low Elo values for Stockfish, Komodo...
So...if Deep Junior 8 will be rated above than 3000 Elo, that means I should drop the start Elo calculations...
Note also that Deep Junior 8 has high possibility to be rated above than expected...
Because FCT, CCRL, CEGT, SCCTb, SCCTe, SSDF, TCEC books have a lot of holes...especially after 8 moves
To be honest, I expect Deep Junior 8 will rated at around 2750-2850 Elo, but of course to be sure we need games
And very soon all this unknown issue will be solved....)!

Have Fun,
Sedat
