If you install TLCV (Tom's Live Chess Viewer) on your computer, you can watch the games live move by move. You'll also be able to chat to others following the tournament in the chatroom there.

Host - GrahamCCRL.dyndns.org Port - 16084

The games are also being broadcast in Playchess and can be viewed by installing the free client here:
http://en.chessbase.com/pages/download

http://cumnor-chess-server.com/liveches ... s-Live.php is another live broadcast option.
Just click "live games" button then click "clear all" then click "Grouping" then "result" then highlight game and click "Watch games" button. Seems the only way to watch the games you want to watch. There is also chatwing.

Crafty 24.1 64-bit 8CPU is playing in place of the earlier version listed.

Hallo Graham.


One thing I do not understand. Why in the tournament there is no newer version Fire and Equinox.

From respect
Krzysztof.

Hi Krzysztof-

Hope you don't mind me answering in place of Graham...

I was intending to send Fire 3.1+ (which played in TCEC 6 earlier this year), but wasn't able to compile a working (non-popcount) version in time.

I could still include Fire 3.1 if you could provide a working compile before Fire plays, but I didn't want to push your patience.

The Equinox author was going to send me 3.2, but it hasn't arrived yet.
If it arrives before Equinox is due to play, I can still include it.

Fire question already answered.

I'll give it a try and get a binary to you in the next 30 minutes
