YLCET Super X1 Live Broadcast Announcement!
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2018 10:12 pm
After a decent turn-out for the YLCET Season 1 Final I will be rewarding everyone with my next tournament at:
http://chess.my2dollars.ca (there will be no need for TLCV or Livius clients this time so they won't be available).
Move history and PV with boards are all working now. I hope everyone likes it. I think it's an improvement over the previous page.
Here's the details:
Tournament: YLCET Super X1 (round robin)
Start date: Fri. Feb. 2nd, 2018
End date: Mar 1st, 2018
I have previously posted a short survey so that viewers can vote on what engines and settings they'd like. You talked and I listened so here's what you have selected:
Engines: Latest SF (compiled on my dual Xeon with Mingw and gcc 7.x The Ultimaiq pre-compiled version came in at a very close 2nd). 3rd engine will likely be Komodo's latest dev. build after discussing with Larry Kaufman. However, if they release a public version before Feb. 2nd then I'll be forced to use Komodo 11.2.2 for the tournament. One has to keep in mind that I don't get donations like TCEC.
TC: It was a tie between 45 mins. and 60 mins. + 10 sec increments. I haven't decided yet but based on all the results it seems people want to see a similar tournament like the YLCET Season 1 Final I hosted but with latest Komodo dev. included so I will probably go with 45 mins + 10 sec again.
Contempt: 0 for all engines
Book: TCEC Season 10 however I didn't include TCEC Season 9 in the survey and I've heard users liked it better than 10 so I'll go with the S9 TCEC opening book. Alternating colours.
HT: Off
Ponder: Off
Hash Size: 16 GB
Cores: 35 (+1 core for ChessGUI - Dual Intel Xeon E5-2696v3 @ 2.80 GHz)
If you have any comments or suggestions please let me know.
