I have no doubt! I said "so far".
By year 2100 he may well not be in top ten of history, even if he is now (which i dont know for sure).

I don't think Carlsen will ever be discredited as possibly the greatest player in history so far, even if or when he DOES go down.

I think it will be very good hardware for stockfish at the half price of intel's cpus (500$ compared to 1100$). There 16-core version will not come out until septme...

There should be more computer with 2 pawns or Knight vs pawn odds that will bring back the challenge of Humans GMs vs top Engines. :shock: I believe that top GMs like Nakamura or MVL can bring back the excitement of Computer Vs Humans. Because, when does small material count? Mainly at the end of t...

Now Top 3 engines tied in TCEC! The best engines are all very active in improving. And all the best engines are free. Komodo is the only commercial engine at the top that is still active.
