Spoiler - they were not.
I vaguely recall hardware they had and the biggest one was johny cluster, which is ofc nice but not comparable to let's say some Stockfish 14.1 Cluster with 131.072 threads that was tested by ipman.
Well, not to say that johny as software is so much weaker than sf that even this cluster probably was weaker than stockfish on any decent server.

Why do you mean by cluster? Is it allowed to connect to remote computers or to use distributed computing for the tournament?

There are 2 tournaments. The World Computer Chess Championship where the answer to your question is yes. In the World Chess Software Championship you have to use the hardware that is provided.eduherminio wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 2:46 pm Is it allowed to connect to remote computers or to use distributed computing for the tournament?
