TCEC website update/news - now with Game of the Month!

[Martin Thoresen]

Hello everyone,

There's been quite a long pause now in the TCEC project - due to a nasty live pgn save bug in ChessGUI, which I believe Matthias has solved (thank you for your endless perseverance!).

http://www.tcec-chess.org/index.php

The plan is to start TCEC Tournament 3 this Sunday if the test games are finished without any crashes (over 300 blitz games run so far) with all the 6 original participants (Houdini, Stockfish, Critter, Spark, Hiarcs and Crafty).

As for the website, I have asked FM Dennis Monokroussos of The Chess Mind if he was interested in annotating a game from TCEC.
And he was willing, so I sent him a crowd favorite from TCEC Match 3 - game 24 between Stockfish and Houdini. Hopefully one game will be added every month.
It is you, the followers, that can decide on which game you want annotated. Just send me an email (adress can be found on the info page on the website) or a pm.

Hopefully Chessbomb will continue to relay my tournaments and matches so that a nice chat environment is available - but this has not been confirmed yet.

Also, the archive page has been updated and small fixes have been implemented throughout the website.

If you notice anything not working or not looking good - please report in this thread. Personally I've tested with Opera and IE 8 browsers and it's looking/working good.

Best Regards,
Martin

Hope it works out well Martin. I'd be interested in using the live broadcast feature too if it works okay.

Cheers,
Graham.

The bug in it is not yet fixed .

I hope Martin will soon get a helpful crash.
I have been trying to get one, but no success yet.

Well, to me it seems that it's fixed since in previous versions the crashes would occur almost during the first 2-3 games and I'm now over 300 without one...

The last debug files you sent me suggest that the bug is just hiding.

I still need a crash.

I really really want to provide you with one.

Blitz games are running as we speak.
