That is not a post from Martin. What is this ChessArena thing?

Martin was logged in here earlier today (so at least he is still active and looking around sort of speak). I guess Martin has a TCEC partner. His name is Anton Mihailov. Martin must really be busy these days. At least we have confirmation now as to the present status of TCEC.
I believe he is the CEO of Chessdom:

ChessArena is a product of chessdom.com; for a while Martin had some support from chessdom.com for TCEC, see for example the URL of the live games http://tcec.chessdom.com
Nothing new in the involvement of chessdom.com with TCEC.
A bit unusual the lack of communication from Martin, but he might just be taking some time off chess before jumping back in.

A couple years or so ago Martin took a break for awhile but came back in later and started TCEC.
