Webserver is running again - all matches are on live broadcast again! Houdini-Critter had to be restarted because the first game was hanging.

I'm sorry to say that the match has to be delayed until I have fixed some electrical problems here in my flat. I had a blown fuse yesterday and realized that too many electrical devices are running over that fuse (fridge, dishwasher etc. and the computers). I think there is something wrong with the relays because the kitchen devices should never run over the same fuse like the devices in my home office.

I'll inform you when everything is fixed and will resume the match then.

Would it be possible to see all the matches on 1 HTML page ?

No, unfortunately not. Fritz GUI is generating a new page for every tournament, so I have to upload them to different destinations.

You are welcome, John! There are indeed some very interesting games going on in the tests. Ok, the draw rate is high, but that was expected when 5 engines of nearly the same strength are playing each other. Let's see if Houdini will manage to break away...

I believe with you managed to get the same treatment for the participants. I think this tournament gives us a better opportunity to compare the ability of leading engines.
Many thanks for this interesting initiative. :D
Maybe, I can't be friendly, but let me be useful.

Stockfish and Critter are still drawing a lot:
